Cables Required For Flashing The Kryptview.

hope you get the correct one ,dont throw receipt away just in case.

Hi Fin just wondering if you managed to get this fault sorted as i have the same problem and have tryed different laptops, loaders and bin files. Any info you may have would be must appreciated

Hi.. I'm new to this so can someone confirm these are the correct cables before I purchase them:

1M DB9-F to Female 9 Pin Serial Null Modem RS232 Cable

USB to Male DB9 RS232 Serial Null Modem Adapter Cable 2

Unable to put links as I'm new, but they're both on eBay.

Is there a difference betwen 'DB9' and 'RS232'? Help would be appreciated, thanks.

Put up the ebay item number and also see the first post of this thread.

Needs to be a NULL modem cable, they are wired differently <crossover> to the one you posted. Pin outs 2-3, 3-2, 4-6, 5-5, 6-4, 7-8, 8-7.

You want this Null Modem Lead Cable Update Starview Eurobox Etc 0.99P | eBay UK

and the other one you posted if fine.

This is really good information, although they should have just gone with an easier interface like USB!

a null modem cable will transfer all data from pc to box,where as a usb adapter may lose info in downloading.

Ok a memory card slot or a usb slot to put the bin file onto a usb stick and run it on the box

does the kv 780 have a usb slot?,i thought it was only a starview that had it.thats why kv needed a hard flash by cable first.
