    you have to make sure what box it is first .. if it is a red box then just download the red box file its in the eurovox folder then go into maxv red and blue files and pick the red one

    right haven`t done a eurovox in a while but download the file to your computer and save it ... then open the loader and connect the box to the pc make sure all other leads are dissconnected from box and turn box on standby and then hit download in the loader and it should start if not post back

    Sounds like a bad flash are you sure you picked the red firmware. You do not need to jtag it. Pull the plug on the back of the box, hit download on the loader and plug the box back in. If that is not successful after a few attempts, try it again except press the reset button on the main board, (you will need to open it to do this).

    The more important thing that you should have checked was it a clone or genuine box? At this stage now almost all reds will be a clone unless you bought a second hand genuine box. If you flash a clone with genuine firmware then you will have to jtag it.

    when i got the box i turned it on and it did come on at first and did work just after the udate it wudnt turn back on

    The last red firmware was the one you used above 30/11/08. But if its a clone you need to use pre April firmware going from memory.

    Any red firmware excluding the latest firmware will not auto update the codes and you will have to manually enter them. Unfortunately we cannot help out with codes and how to insert them here.
