I have a Starview Box, and was going to upgrade the firmware but having problems.
I have downloaded the software and bin file to my pc
I then connected usb cable to the R232 cable then connected it to pc/box
I found the correct port in the software and loaded the bin file.
I then click on download but the % stays at 0
It has been connected for a few hours now and still at 0%, I disconnected things and tried again and yet again stays at 0%
I get no errors or anything it says its downloading but nothing seems to happen.
have I done something wrong?
or do i need to do something else?

is it a usb adaptor and rs232 cable because the correct cable is a null modem cable,one works,one does not.

the post was opened before yesterdays update. the point is i cant seem to install firmware or channel dumps, it stays at 0%, even if new firmware does come i still would not be able to install it.
the problem is that any update stays at 0%

If you are in the uk why are you trying to flash your b0x with firmware thats no use anymore??. Wait & see if theres an update.

when I started this thread a few days ago it was before the episodes of yesterday. It has nothing to do with firmware since yesterday.
I was talking about I was trying to upload the firmware and channel dump (prior to yesterday) but never went beyond 0%, even the channel dump stayed at 0%
i was asking why it would not go beyond 0% was there a problem with what I was doing.
I am not asking for new firmware or anything since yesterday, i am asking for help why it will not go beyong 0%

The cable you are using might be an RS232 cable . I know it came with the b0x, but that doesnt mean its the right cable for flashing. You`ll need a NULL MODEM cable DB9F to DB9F.

how can you tell if it is a RS232 or a Null one? as no identification on the cable.

if its worked for you in the past it should do so again,turn the box off,then press download on the ufl,then turn the box on,and see if it moves for you.

Folks
if by some tragedy of the god no solution can be find to the current ahem "problems" everyone is encountering. If we have to go legal and get a Kosher box with a basic package.. will the "other box" be able to auto update then?
Sorry if im tlaking in riddle but those of you with a brain will know why.

Reasonable question, but in a word NO.

Someone said earlier I may have a RS232 cable and not a null cable. I have opened it up and checked the pins from diagrams on the web and its is def a null cable i have
I have been trying contantly to do channel dumps to test thinsg work but it still stays at 0%
i would have thought if cable or software was not compatible it would come up as fail but it does not, it just sticks at 0%
any suggestions?

Yes I am connecting the usb adaptor (my pc/laptop does not have the connection to do it direct) to the null cable (the cables i have are shown on my second post above)
I connected them to box/pc and clicked download but it sticks at 0%, i even left it today for 7 hours and came back and it was still at 0%

this is an update to my previous posts above.
I went to maplin and got a null cable just in case the one I had was wrong but am getting same problems, the % stays at 0
It just does not go beyond 0%, i left it for 5 hours but same.
do you think it is a problem with the box or something else?
(and before anyone says , yes I know the fix is not out yet, if i cant do a channel dump or load the old fix in what chance have i got doing the new one)
