[cleve434]

I have a problem with my sonicView sv-1000.When I loaded

the BIN and the file tranfer completed the receiver comes

up with an Error.After I turned the receiver off and on

again,it displays 8888.Please help!

I would do a factory reset ,reload newest bin....don't forget to let the receiver return to the 12:00 on the display before turning off at the back and unhooking the cable

Yup, that should correct it, see advice below:

I had same problem after flashing with the new bin. Now I ca no even go to the MENU page, how would I do a factory reset? I tried to re-flash but the downloader program would not proceed. HELP?

Cleve434, have you been able to get your bax back to life? Iy yes, can you share how? Thanks.

try doing a factory reset and load original factory file and then the bin.

[ch123]

How do i do a factory reset without access to the MENU?

[creativegenius]

Load the factory bin with the loader for that unit and the cable that came with it when you got it.

yes do what CG said this will fix your problem

[ch123]

This is what tried:

- Downloaded factory bin
- Turned off the receiver
- Connected the Serial cable
- Started the Loader & selected the Factory Bin
- Turned the receiver ON

But the downloader was not able to send the Bin file to receiver. I guess the receiver was not taking it. Ideas?

Thanks

[hairfarmer1367]

have you loaded bins before without any problems?are you using the correct cable,,,serial cable didn't work for my 1000 ,,,you need a null modem cable

[creativegenius]

My advice would be to get a serial port checker, Google 'Free Serial Port Checker' there are a few good ones, and also ensure that you have the baud rate set correctly 115200.

you probably have this stuff but here again get the loader from above ..

next here is the factory file

http://www.abadss.comhttp://www.abad...tory-file.html

next you have to have a null modem cable hopefully yours came with one

if it says rs232 on the cable you have the wrong one ..

[tomcat01]

Do the following steps:

1. Plug turn on the STB (the STB need to be on so your PC can detect the USB)

2. plug one end into Device (on stb) the other to your PC

3. install the driver (Windows will auto detect and ask you to install the neccessay driver for the device)

4. Turn off your STB (using back switch, you need to turn off the Unit before running USB LOADER or TFTPServ)

5. on your pc, open USB Loader or TFTPServ, open the necessary file you wanted (YOU NEED TO TURN OFF YOUR STB FROM THE BACK BEFORE OPEN USB LOADER)

6. Then turn on your STB (using back switch)

the download should take no more than 15 sec, but leave the STB alone untill it completely reboot itself.


Troubleshoot

Numerous users have report that they have problem when install the driver on their Laptop.

Symtom: in the middle of the driver installation, the laptop screen black out and doesn't response, give the blue screen of death or automatically restart and the driver installation never complete.

this is cause by the USB controller on the laptop, mostly Toshiba Model. Dell also

Solution: Instead of connect the PVR directly to the laptop, put an USB hub in between, so the configuration will be

Laptop USB PORT >>>> USB HUB >>> USB on Sonicview PVR.

Hope this help guys
