celtic 71 or anyone out there got a bad flash box wont go into standby mode only thing that happens is digits on front of box continually cross screen will not take comands from controller please help tnk u

 

Disconnect the SV from your tele , Plug the Null modem cable into ur pc and connect the other end to ur SV , Turn ur SV on and put in standby mode. The open the GT ROM Loader

 

turn your pc off before connecting cable to box then connect to box turn the box on first then the pc try that then put your box in standby with remote then reflash and wait till it finishes even after you see 100% it takes another 50 seconds after this till you see the on sign on your box ok

 

it wont go to standby it wont respond to remote controll

 

Try press the button on the front of the SV

 

ok what box do you have and what software is onit

 

tried that too afew times

 

ok what box do you have and what software is on it

 

a clone im quite sure 2.57 i was putting on the fix

 

Ok you will have to try this

If you have a bad flash, switch it off then on at the back & make sure its on standby.
Then Flash as normal. This also applies to flashing (up & downloading) the channel data file.
If for some reason you cannot flash and have set and checked everything else such as ports and connections,
then you should switch off at the back wait a moment then on again. Then try to flash again.

If for some reason it won't go into standby and you see a constant moving green line.
you may want to wait to see if it goes into standby or switches on eventually or re-flash from this state
though it may not work. Some users have reported that flashing an older firmware 1st that was working,
then trying again may help. If your flash has failed or corrupted try again but 1st flash back the firmware
that was on before your failed flash. Re download the firmware just in case you had a corrupted file then try again.
If you do flash from the moving green line state at boot, you will see the % increase on the GTRom loader
software but not on the Starview. Toward the end of the flash you'll see a Flash Burning message in GTRom.
Make sure you wait until all is finished and you see the Download complete pop up message in GTRom.

Another method you can use to recover from a bad flash, eg. the box won't boot to standby and is stuck
in pre standby, either after about 3 or 4 moving green lines the box sticks with the green line not moving
at all or it keeps moving forever. If the box will NOT RE-FLASH as normal from on or standby, try this but it
may take a few goes to work.

Connect the box to the pc with your cable but switch it off at the back. Load the correct
firmware bin file into GTRom & set it to the correct com port, and select App file only then hit Download.
Only then switch on at the back to power on the box. It may take a few sec. so wait at least 30 sec.
(If it doesn't work 1st time try also waiting a couple of sec. to switch on after pressing download in the loader.) It may take more than 1 try to work, but eventually you'll see the loader kick in and the % bar increase. You won't see the % on the Starview though. Only green lines moving left to right. Towards the end of the flash you'll see a message in GTRom saying FLASH BURNING. Then it will reach 100% and wait for the download complete pop up box to appear & the box will reboot back to factory setup. You will have lost any channel data previously on the box & will need to rescan & switch on EMU and set the box up from scratch.

If you don't know the state of the box switch it on see what happens see if there already has been a channel
scan done before-meaning there are channels on it working or not. If so tune to an unencrypted channel as above
then standby then re-flash.
