do a search for digivox tut in blue section underneath -navigation that will bring u to what to do,u will need downloader and XL FILE V.1230,the xl files are for black box,whereas digivox is for silver box,do not put wrong files in.so 2 things to download the downloader and file v.1230.hopefully u have xp pc and serial port and null modem cable for flashing/updating.

hi cacti kid went through the tut step by step and unfortunately there was a message on box "chdl".Tried several times to d/load v1230 but kept saying "fail to update flash"it seems as if it's frozen ,even when connected to TV.Just to say also,i used the RS232 cable and not the null cable modem that you mentioned(could'nt borrow one )does this matter and the reason it don't work?

also noticed on tut it says Browse for bin file(digivox_z20070101v2500_api)is this different to the one on your link?

if it is that old it should load as newer ones wont,did u try a factory reset first power off box/on then try flashing.

as i said i cant do anything cos when i power on it just displays"chdl" and don't respond when i press any buttons on the remote control so i cant do a factory reset, unless there is another way to reset the digivox?
