To update a Clone SV , you will need 3 things first .

1. A Null Modem Cable (9 pin female to 9 pin female)
2. GT Rom Loader (Software)
3. 2.57_fixed .bin file (Firmware)

Number 1 , you got it
Number 2 can be downloaded below , thanks to Eamo
Number 3 can be got here http://www.speedyshare.com/701502769.html

UPLOADING SOFTWARE TUTORIAL
1. Plug Starview in at the mains;
2. Plug in null modem cable and join up box with
PC using COM port on PC (there is only one socket for
this on the Starview you cant go wrong);
3. Open up GTRom loader or whatever sofwtare you have
for loading image on the box.
4. Click on "BIN File" on GTRom and load the
2.57 update BIN File file that you have
5. Now click download button and you still see the
file being downloaded.
6. Once complete a message will apppear saying
something like "download successful".
Wait till the SV reboots and disconnect from PC , Go back to you TV and connect it back up and should be working fine

 

hey guys,
i got a clone SV box, just wondering if i need to update, every now and then again the picture freeze and goes blank for 10 - 15 seconds or so! i was a buying a genuine SV box but got a clone, its ok but just wondering if updating will fix it.

thanks

 

Yes it should work and the latest 2.57_fixed for clone autorolls , so no more inputting codes

 

rebooth it by switching off at back for 60 seconds

hi
what is the most up to date software for star viewer

 

There are different firmware for clones , genuine and also "The B0X"

 

i have a genuine star viewer

 

How do you know.How many slots at the top of the box.

 

sorry to bother you again but the problem is the computer wont let me run gtrom loader or fixed firmware wheras no one else seems to have this problem i have all necesarry items to do this job

 

You open the GT ROM Loader and not the .bin file , delete the 2 files off your pc and download new ones , they might be corrupt

 

i actually did this 3 or 4 times lets say there not corrupted when i try to run loader pc tells me this is not a win 32 gadget and if i procede it produces a box requiring user name and password when entered it shows same box again also how do i get up individual ports on pc

 

The GT ROM Loader might be in .rar file , you will need to have Winrar to open it , Try downloading this one and see if it works

If you go to My Computer > Properities > Device Manager , you will see your COM ports there

 

thanks for advice i downloaded winrar but could not see anything of gtrom in rar link concerning com ports i know where to get them but dont know how to activate pc says all ports OK

 

you only should have 1 com port on the back of your pc before you plug the cable in turn your pc off then connect it then re start your pc then connect to your box are you sure you have a null modem cable as there has been some confusion over these 9 pin female to 9pin female and should say null modem on it

 

That looks like a permissions issue, looking for username/password. Your normal user might not have permissions to access COM ports. When it asks for username/password, don't enter your normal username, enter administrator and the administrator password.
You do know the administrator password.

 

thanks for prompt reply i trust it is null modem as i kindly received it from leslie B thank you

 

Did she give you the cable or the info to where to get one
