    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

    it sounds like you need to drop the nagrarom 7 file into your box using the program filezilla

    You have to use IFA for flashing if the image at the dbox2 is corrupted.

    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.

    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
