look on maplins website and show us the cable u have m8

setting to change your com settings

Start -> Control Panel -> System -> Hardware -> Device Manager -> Ports (COM & LPT) -> Prolific USB to Serial Bridge… at this point, take note of the COM number. Use that number when assigning the COM port


in your Device Manager and double click your USB to Serial adapter. Click Port Settings and then Advanced. You should then be able to select the COM port (1, 2, 3, or 4) being careful not to select a COM port already in use on your computer.

if u only have printer and com then change the com one in the drop down box

you can use all 3 of them cables the all the same m8 and the cable smirnoff showed the lad to buy is the same as the 3 you showed differnt colours prices its upto you which one you buy but there all the same usb to RS
 
cheers m8

Top forum this lads; used hackable in the past but had to jump ship now the cable forum is down!

I'm off to pick one of these cables up tomoz so if i have probs i'll be back on; to be honest i'll be back on if it works to thank you guys!
 
remember to attach your box to the computer but leave it off at the the mains click on the UFL firmware when you see it appear turn the power on your box

should say 2.00 detected then click on the download icon easy peasy your done you should see dnld on the face of the box during the download

when the download and writing is finished approx 5 mins just unplug and the box your finished

personally ive never had to select a com port the firmware has always auto detected it try the above if it still doesnt work check your com settings as smirn suggested
 
some go to your null cable if u havnt got a null cable u need usb to null lol .. if u get me ..

do u have a null cable ? cant remember all my posts ,

most ebay adds tell u wot they do , most even tell u there for eurovox and dreambox's

Below is a pick of a null modem cable I just call em a RS cable cos im thick there grey and have 9 female holes on each end If you have a pc tower and not a laptop this is all you need to flash your box



If you only have a lappy and not a tower you need one of the above cables smirnoff has shown you



The other pic is of Myleen Klass she has one female hole and i wouldnt need a cable to update her box :proud:
