Hi all I have been asked to sort a d box out that has lost it channels when i plug it in i can not seem to get any display on the screen even if i press setup ect on the remote as if its not sending a signal out at all. When i turn it on i get a message on the screen that says virgin media u boot 1.1 and the box is sagem. I have tried flashing using the fix at the top of this forum fixed dd281108 using envision simple loader but get the message that the downloading is not requested any body any ideas im not a complete noob to this as i have done many a starview thanks in advance Bri
sorry forgot to add this bit if simpleloader is the right loader what type do i have to put it on ie ci or fta also is it possible to flash a d box with useing only a seriel cable as have never had to use ftp to flash before thanks again
Thanks for reply but dont i need the ip address of the d box to use filezila as i only get a black screen when its connected to the tv i dont think i can use this program unless any body has any ideas
is the IFA the image flashing assistent ? if so have tried uploading an image but all i have is the nagrarom 7 bin file if input this into the ifa it comes up with an error message saying box will not be able to boot is this right also what cable do i use the null modem or the ethernet cable Thanks Bri
You need a crossover network cable for a direct connection to the dbox and you can use additionally a nullmodem cable if you want. Beside that you need a complete dbox2 image. The romfile cannot repair a corrupted software at the dbox and IFA can only flash a complete image.
Is a crossover network cable the same as a std ethernet cable that goes from my router to the pc sorry if it s a daft question but so far iam only use to flashing starview using a seriel cabel and this is all new to me
Ok i think im nearly there I need to flash the dbox with an image file using IFA with a null modem connection and a cross over cable. I think the image file i need is mtd3_1x.img I downloaded it from chatter box tool bar in a zip file called complete dbox 2.zip but when i unzip it says its corrupt and can not open I m now banging my head against a brick wall can some please tell me where i can find the mtd3 file if that is the one i need before 2 d boxs end up in the bin Thanks in advance Bri
