hi folks,
i posted the below message about this time yesterday in the hope that someone could help me. Alas, either my post has been missed or else no one can help me :(
If someone could even let me know they cant help then i can chuck my box in the bin and stop pulling my hair out. Thanks in advance for any help.

The reason for my post is that im having major difficulties connecting my eurovox max v to my laptop. I have the L71BT (Maplin) null modem cable connected to a usb adapter as recommended.
The problem is that when i plug the usb connector into the laptop, the 'found new hardware' wizard starts up but is unable to recognise the hardware and as a result i cant connect to the box to perform any type of update.
Ive tried it on 2 laptops now - one vista and one XP and the result is the same - Unable to install new hardware.
Please help, this is driving me insane and ill be eternally grateful if anyone can suggest what im doing wrong. Thanks in Advance!

no its a cable i bought at a local hardware store - its called an imax usb to rs232 converter. Ive actually just found the installation disk for it - it was hidden between 2 layers of card in the packaging!
ive got it installed now and its showing as port 4. however when i hit the download button on the update, it just says "waiting for the response of your reciever" and nothing happens...
sorry to be a pain...

The most common issue when installing the USB adapter and driver is selecting the correct port for your map software to recognize.
You must make sure your particular software is looking on the correct port for it to transfer any data.
To see which port your USB adapter is connected to, connect your USB adapter and follow the following instructions:
1. Go to the Start Menu
2. Right click on "My Computer"
3. Select "Properties"
4. Click on the "Hardware" tab
5. Click on "Device Manager"
6. Click the + sign next to "Ports (COM & LPT)"
7. One of the listed ports should indicate which port your USB adapter is connected to (e.g. COM1, COM2, COM3, etc.)
Right click on that port and select properties. Then select port settings, then select advanced. At the bottom of that tab will be a drop down box with the port selected .Use the drop down to select another port (eg 1, 2 or 3). If the port you want to use is already allocated to something else, you can use the same procedure to reassign that port after you have finished.
Save the selections in the usual way. The USB converter will be permanently assigned to the port you selected.

1. Hook up your Eurovox to your PC using a null modem cable. (9 pin female to 9 pin female). Null Modem Cable must be used, looks the same as a standard RS232 lead but it is wired differently.
2. Run the Kuro Unified Flash Loader (download it here: http://www.mediafire.com/?xynenwxvyjy )
2a (Optional step: Press the Upload button to save your channel set up favourites etc as they currently are) Save this to a folder on your PC for use later.
3. Click on the 'download' button at the top of the screen.
4. The program will say 'Version 2.10 detected' and restart your Eurovox, it will then go through the downloading process, when finished it
will display 'Downloading is successful' .
5 . Press the Menu button on your remote, and then go into 'Config' menu and select 'Clear Data'
6. It will then ask for your PIN (default is 0000)
7.Then select 'Factory Default'
8. It will then ask you to select the symbol rate (I use 6.887 as I am on NThell Dublin).not sure if this matters at this stage though.
9. Press OK when 'Reset to Factory Default Settings' comes up
10. It will then say 'Wait to Factory Settings' and will then start to do a Full Power Scan (using the Symbol rate you selected earlier or you can change the symbol rate here)
11. It will then search through for channels, Go and make a cup of tea while it works away, do not interrupt it until it finishes.
12. It wil then exit to allow you to view your programs, but the code being updated message will probably come up for a while,
13. Put the box onto Sky Sports and go make another cup of tea. It may only take a few mins but again do not interrupt it (even if you think it is not working!)
14. Sky Sports will come up and all your channels will be back and you won't have to manually enter your codes anymore.
15. If you did the optional step at 2a, then browse to where you saved your file (CDF file) and click download in the lower box on the Kuro program, and it will reload your favourites etc. as
you originally had them.
Should that not be 18.4.08

I was a day late getting it! Sorted now to avoid confusion (if that is possible!!!)
Whatever you say, say nothing when you talk about you know what for if you know who might hear you, you know what youll get. Youll be sent off to you know where for you would not know how long. Maybe I could search through the threads so you dont have to ??

Sorry about not replying, but would not be an expert on this so I decided I would be better to leave it to those who know!

Hi Celtic71, thanks for the info. Ive now assigned the USB adapter to com3 and disabled the other com devices so com3 is the only detectable port. Unfortunately the update im using(Eurovox Max V with Kuro 18.04.08 UPDATED) still says no reciever found. When it displays the list of com ports and i select com3, it just says "waiting for the response of your reciever" and nothing happens...
I def have the 2008 Eurovox Max V (not a clone) which is a black box with silver buttons. Is there anything else i could be doing wrong?

Hi Celtic71, thanks for the info. Ive now assigned the USB adapter to com3 and disabled the other com devices so com3 is the only detectable port.

Just a thought on this, might be worth a try, in the old fashioned way of flashing a Eurovox - when you received that message "waiting for a response etc." we had to remove power from Eurovox "unplug from power and then plug right back in" with the box in standby of course - might be worth a try, but I have not encountered it since the (Unified Flash Loader) firmware came out.

Thanks for the info Malci. Alas, no joy. Ive tried as you said but the response remains the same. there just doesnt appear to be any communication between my PC and the box. Do you think there could be a problem with the usb to rs232 converter im using? It all appears to be installed correctly and is set as COM3 and my pc recognises that there is hardware connected when i plug in the usb adaptor but beyond that there is nothing happening.
Might just be clutching at straws tho... God i need a drink!
Any further help or advice would render me eternally grateful...

I had the same problem and the only way I got arould it was to go straight from the box to the PC by Installing a pci serial card in my PC, They cost around 10.00 pounds and this ensures you get a direct feed from your pc to your box, NO confusing issues like a USB adapter slowing it down or not being able to sort the drivers out and so on.
Just a thought by no means the right way but it worked for me and I have flashed alot of other boxes and tryed the original way with the USB adaptor and it didnt work with me, Also a Bi directional USB adaptor is needed for it to work correctly!.

Either that above - or have a look around for an old laptop, carboot - computer fair - is there anyone you know that might have one, if you do that then the job's easy peasy , the connection will be there - the one I use for flashing had actually been thrown away, an old acer, really bang on for the job, batteries knackered only 11 gig memory - but if you can do that - just a NULL MODEM cable job, there is a lot of people that have the problem with the USB to serial lead connection, and it tends to put you off, anyway Good Luck with it.

Did you set the port number correctly on the PC?
Do the following.
START
Right Click "MY COMPUTER"
Choose "MANAGE"
In the resulting window, click on "DEVICE MANAGER"
In the right hand pane, click on the little plus sign beside "PORTS" in the right hand pane.
Right click on the USB Adapter (Should be something like "Prolific USB-to-Serial Comm. Port (COM#)
Choose "Properties"
Click on "PORT SETTINGS" TAB
Click on "ADVANCED"
Then you will see the COM Port Number Box. You should be able to change it there using the drop down box.
Try to set it to COM2
Restart Windows
Set the transfer Software to COM2 & try to connect.
If that fails try another port number.

Use one that is. This usually indicates that you have a different model type, i.e. 2006, 2007 model.
