Im trying to load factorybin file using loader. I hooked up the cables and everything and when i start it... it says resending ?? and stays at 0% for like 10minutes. Is that normal and should i wait??
Unless you post the name of your receiver, the file you are trying to load into the receiver, the cable details and the exact procedure you are doing, it would be difficult to help you. All receivers have a detailed set of instructions for loading BINs.
viewsat ultra, factorybin v117. I used a usb / serial cable and another cable that attaches from serial to reciever. Its on COM3 i tried changing it and also reset pc. Its like the file is not going through, it keeps saying on status resending and stay at 0%
Aj: Your problems are many fold. 1. USB to Serial adaptor has always been a pain. most people would recommend that you do NOT allow Windows XP to auto install it but have one witht its own CD, and install it manually. 2. Some corrections can be made by going to the "Device Manager" of your computer and changing the COM Port setting. Preferrable settings are COM 1 or COM 2. Most loaders are comfortable with these two COM ports. 3. Your cable has to be a Null Modem cable. In your case, you do not know whether it is a straight cable or a Null modem cable. As it is not working now, try the two suggestions above and failing that, buy a DB 9 M/F null adaptor. Insert this in series with the rest and try again. 4. Installation has to be carried out with the help of full Viewsat Ultra instructions. Here are the most important points after connecting and selecting the BIN.
