Dreambox 500T 500C Fixes here

Only a few come through and the rest are blank, the info is there for all of them (epg ?). On the user interface, on the far left, just under where the picture should be, channels that do not work display a key icon illuminated in blue and channels that do - do not.

 

Hi guys having exact same problem as above . getting all fta channels all other channels seem to be locked i.e have key symbol . I have tried 3 different images to no avail!!! current image on box is dwemptyautoroll all flashed successfully and evocam is on and ive left box on skyspo1 for 1hr and still nothing wtf please help been at this for two friggin days.

 

This is the procedure that has worked for me Dreambox 500c

Flash image DK1.1 to dreambox (I use Dreamup and null modem connection.) google dreamup to find software but you need to buy a null modem connection

When it says do you want to flash erase click no

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

Connect the dreambox to tv and with a ethernet cable to your router

Click in to expert mode and comm to find your ip address

Click into filezilla and put in ip address

Username is root and password is dreambox

FTP the three files ( I used filezilla to FTP the files) Google it to find software and for the three files go to http://www.dvb-upload.com/index.php?action=download&pid=271910

hypercam. cfg
hypercam.keys
hypercam _1.06

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


reboot dreambox


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

Select var folder
select the bin folder
hightlight hypercam 1.06.

Press red button to execute,
press exit
press red button to SAVE settings and exit.

Tune to Sky Sports or Sky Movies and wait a minute or two, then change channel again.
All channels should now be available.

PLEASE NOTE: if you execute the hypercam more than once it will not work. Also when you plug the dreambox out all channels will be gone but you just have to execute the cam again

 

I did it all again, flashed the image using dreamup, did the transponder search and then used the ftp protocol outlined above and "Hey Presto"- i'm back in business, ALL Channels !

THANK YOU WESTHAM88, i'd buy you a pint if I could !

Now, if I connect my box to the pc again with the null modem cable using dreamup and save a backup to my desktop, will that image file be a working flash ready fix for other users to install without them having to go through the ftp process as I did ? (I'm sure that not everyone has a router)

 

No problem for the help!! Im just glad we are back in business.

Ye if you save a backup image it will be a working fix for others to upload.

 

Here is a new flashready image for the dreambox 500c for Ireland:

Download image file and unzip using winrar: http://www.rarlab.com/rar/wrar380.exe - rename image file to "backup.img".

Flash image file to dreambox, I use Dreamup: http://www.dreamboxshops.co.uk/dreambox/DreamUP.zip - and null modem connection. If you do not have one you will need to buy a null modem connection.

When it says do you want to flash erase click no.

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

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

Select var folder
select the bin folder

FINALLY big thanks to westham88 u are the dogs bollocks mate ,got dreambox 500c up and running thanks to ur guide in one of the recent threads all channels working whoop whoop ! struggled a bit with the ftp carry on but got there in the end. Cheers again matey x foockin typical someone goes n ups an image to flash straight on to box using just a null modem cable without having to arse about with ethernet and ftp which had me stumped,could you not have upped ur back up 2 days ago Costellon! lol well done mate alot easier for the noobs like me this way.

 

No problem for the help!! I could of uploaded my image but somebody already had a good few posts back so i just didnt upload mine. Anyway you having to ftp the box was good for you because now you will know how to do it for future

 

Westham88 for President ! It's so bloody gooood to have all the channels up and running again ! My publican won't be at all happy

 

I didnt do anyhting. Whoever came up with the fix for the box should be taking all the credit!! He/she should be the president!

 

I only sussed out how to do it yesterday evening by following westham88's very clear instructions, my box has been sitting on top of my wardrobe for the last few months collecting dust.
Again, big thanks to all involved......now, what will I watch ?

 

lads this is goin to sound like a stupid question......... why when i connect my dreambox to my pc with my null cable nothing happens? im at this 4days now and im loosing the will to live

 

When you connect the box to the pc with dreamup open it should tell you to switch on your dreambox. Plug your box in and out and dreamup should recognise it then

 

what u mean with dream up? i know im an idot be gentle

 

Dreamup is the program you have to use to upload the image onto the box.

Download it here:

Download image file and unzip using winrar: http://www.rarlab.com/rar/wrar380.exe - rename image file to "backup.img

Click on the flash button in dreamup and find the image you just downloaded

When it says do you want to flash erase click no.

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

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

Select var folder
