the box super 4 usb

if its got the 8882 on the panel all the time, its bricked, it needs to be JTAGGED

 

What does Jtagged involve???

It only flashes when I turn the box on from the on/off switch. I'm still getting about 10 channels through the box!

 

when was it last flashed
what does it say in system information,if you are getting channels it doesnt need to be j tagged ,just a firmware update

 

System Information as follows;

S/W vwesion 1.03
Boot version b-11
Date Oct 17 2008

Thats it!

 

is it new ,can you see other channels on box , also where are you based

 

thats why I said if its on all the time as he didnt indicate if it was or not, you need to flash the box with the latest firmware

you need to follow this to the letter

 

Brand new, based in Dublin. Can see all the channels but only about 10 working.

 

did you flash the box with the firmware above? Did you factory reset after the flash and scan again? when you say only ten working, which chans?

 

you should get sorted with the top post mickah did ,look at top post,

 

When I try to install the firmware it says "It is not a file of this IRD".

I have RTE1, Setanta Ireland, 3e, UKTV Gold+1, Living TV+1, Comedy Central+1, Virgin 1, Comedy Extra. Film Four+1

 

you need to make sure its .bin

if you try to put a EXE or RAR file onto a stick it will give you that problem, read the the above link and follow it to a T, its all covered in that thread above

 

I have tried it several times but, when I press menu & 1570 nothing happens!

 

have you put the new firmware on box

 

It won't take the file, it says;

"It is not a file of this IRD".

 

menu 1570 wont work until you put new firmware on your box

 

Any ideas how to install the file?

 

you need to read and follow the link i gave you or you wont be able to get furthur than here

The whole point of me linking it for you is to read the step by step,

 

make sure you format your memory stick in your box then come back to the computer and put the firmware on memory stick do a factory reset on your box first, and follow the instructions, if you still cant put that firmware on then ill give you another bin file that should give you all your channels, without going into menu 1570 and turning it on but try that above and follow the instructions that mickah gave you
sorry lads not hijacking just trying to help,
also mickah would it not be better if i gave him my data.bin file of my own box to try instead?
also ive seen a few people coming on threads saying/ It is not a file of this IRD, but they always got it sorted in the end
what does that mean exactly

 

Send it to him if ya want mate, but retyping stuff for people defeats you creating a how to thread in the first place. Its what they are trying to put onto the mem stick

 

"It is not a file of this IRD" means he has used firmware from another Starview model and not the Starview 4 firmware, has not unpacked the correct firmware . Or he has a clone.

That has been his trouble since the outset.
