Dreambox 500T 500C Fixes here

just looking for confirmation that the drembox cant be flashed with just a null modem cable and dreamup and i take it that ill need the crossover cable to ftp files cos for some reason i got the idea that the last image put up had the 3 files included (var,bin,hyper 1.06)but im now been told that ill need to ftp files myself with a cross over .. can someone confirm

 

If someone could PLEASE tell me if the new image is from Digital Kaos then I would know whether the flash worked. Thanks.

 

.

 

ah i thought it was just me... going to test this now and will revert. thanks in advance

 

All you have to do is upload image using dreamup

Turn on the box

Scan for channels if needed

Wait for 20 seconds on skysports

Change to a few channels and all channels should be back

 

do we have to do that extract thing again,im not sure how to do it

 

@westham,Not exactly educational just learning how to make a back up of an already copied image? When I helped you out with the script yesterday I thought you said you like solving things rather than been handed a working fix?

The process of teach and learn here has just been killed. You learned yesterday why the Cam wouldn't initiate and how to fix it. Bet that felt much better than been handed a working script.

Also as I said yesterday some of the uploaded "full" images where not up to much. You have now seen this yourself.

For everyone that wants to learn how to copy the working image there are 100s of posts on how to do just this, most right in this very thread. There are also comprehensive guides in Eamos at the end of my post.

 

Fair enough i will remove the link.

 

I liked messing about fixing it myself, trying to make this work on dbox was good I had logging enabled and noticed "failed to open device" but couldn't find out the cause, then mgcamd came out and sorted it in less than a minute lol.

It also took me a while to sort the dreambox.

 

Might as well leave it up now as it is copied in a reply below it. If people want to learn they will others will use your back up.

 

I deleted it off that website

 

Hope you are still logging the stream info at least Steo. That is always useful

I am trying a new version of VLC so see you later.

 

You will be haunted via pm Dont mind me been cranky, goodnight

 

i just downloaded the file and now i cant find it,im going to smash this thing up

 

Not if i dont answer- Am gona show them how to do it instead.

Talk to you soon mate!! you are right tho people have to learn

 

Flash image DK1.1 to dream box ( use Dreamup and null modem connection.)

reboot the dreambox and search for all your channels using Dublin NTL

Connect your box to your router using a ethernet cable and to the tv

Go to expert setup, then comm setup and find out ip address for dreambox

Open filezilla (google it to find software)

Type in ip address in top left where it says host

Type in username- root and then password- dreambox

FTP the three files

into your VAR/BIN folder in the dreambox

when the files are in the VAR/BIN folder, right click on each of the files and change attributes on all three files from 644 to 755

Press blue button on remote, to go to Tux Commander.

Select var folder
