Hello, I'm trying to flash my Skybox F5. The great guides that I found on these forums have been really helpfull however they have only got me so far. I've got all the right files and have a serial RS232 Null Modem Cable. I've tried running the Erom Program on both Win7 & WinXP but constantly get stuck on STEP2 of the guide and get the message 'Opening serial port is failed' 'COM test error'. I've looked on device manager and under ports all I have is Communications Port (COM1) & Printer Port (LPT1). And when I run the Erom Program the program will only start if I select Port1. It's like the program realises when the Skybox gets switch on but can't download any data.

Skybox Imaging plans to sell the footage to businesses in the near future. Opening Serial Port Is Failed Skybox Sports Grill. When printing from a computer and using a serial port, if you get the 'Failed to Open Serial Port' error. This is the SKYBOX_S9_110815 with. Opening Serial Port Is Failed Skybox On Sheffield. 7/14/2017 0 Comments Kevin Durant Willing To Take Less Money Because The NBA Is Broken. Opening Serial Port Is Failed Skybox Chicago. Hotspot Shield For Iphone 4 Cracked on this page. And other geeks who work for a startup called Skybox Imaging are there to cheer the Clines’ arrival.

I'm completely out of ideas so any help will be very much appreciated. Kind Regards! • If you only have 1 port [com 1] then the erom tool should recognize it.

If using a desktop with xp then when in device manager check that com 1 is running/working ok and run troubleshoot to ensure drivers up to date. Windows 7 doesn't really like the erom tool as it was designed for xp. Ensure you have the correct downloaded copy of Erom Upgrade tool and firmware.

Ensure box power is off. Connect null cable to pc and box. Open erom program. Ensure com1, even,115200, upgrade showing. Enter your f/w Press next.

Power on box when wording--reset target --appears. Word--done should appear in r/h/top. Then proceed as instructions on screen. • About us Techkings.org is a Community Board based on up and coming Technology, Media, Cable and Satellite.

I have what may seem like a daft question here as I am so confused right now.I want to reflash an f5 that has the e001 but the RS232 cable I got has the 9 holes to fit on the back of the box but then there is not the same port on my laptop.am I being completely stupid here or have I got the wrong cable cos when I google it I get exactly the same cable?I assume I need some kind of adaptor?Laptops & pc's haven't had RS232 ports fitted for years. There are RS232 (serial) to USB adapters available, but they are not guaranteed to work. It's best if you could borrow an old pc which has a dedicated 9 pin RS232 serial port.

I tell you my experience, hope can be useful. I had a Skybox F5 stuck on LOAD and a Memobox M3 (clone of Skybox) stuck on LOAD 100. Both after a TP_PROG update. I tried for some hours, every firmware, every timing of turning on.nothing. It did say 'Please reset target' but nothing appened.
