[QUOTE="gontofe, post: 729858, member: 364315"] Hello all, Please help me! I've been trying to upgrade my Fortec Star 4700 without much success. The Fortec Star site rather unhelpfully suggests upgrading by USB, but says not to do so if 'allcode' method doesn't appear in the upgrade menu =http://www.fortecstar.com/softwares/fs-4700/UPGRADING%20PROCEDURE%20FOR%20FS%20via%20USB.pdf. The alternative is to upgrade with RS232. I have connected my usb-to-serial cable to the port on the back of the box and tried using the upgrading tool on the FS website ([url=http://www.fortecstar.com/4700-sw.html]FS-4700-SW[/url]), but I never get further than "Synchronising STBs... Please reset target!". I have tried resetting the box, starting from standby/off modes, but never get anywhere. I have tried running the upgrade tool in Windows Vista and Ubuntu under WINE, but neither works! Assuming that my cable is working ok (I have used it for other serial comms), is there something obvious I'm not trying? Thanks for your help, Kind regards, Mike [/QUOTE]
