i am trying to flash an irish image to my nokia dbox 2. when i go to the menu to flash the file, it gives me the "cant open MTD Device" error anybody know how to rectify this?? cheers adam
Wot program you useing Have you got the image to the box If so how are you trying to open it............Paul
yes i have the image on the box in the .img file type. when i go in to "write whole image", i select the image name, and it brings up the progress bar as usual but it says "cant open MTD device" and then after a second or two returns me to the main menu. from what i can gather from google, MTD device is something to do with the flash memory. cheers adam
mtd 3 and mtd 4 Are images extracted from your d box via a back up Try extracting the same image and try again Try putting the image on without the service and bow ks Or use easy d box 123 to transfer the image ........Paul
i created the image from my own dbox with the "read whole image" menu and copied that image to my computer via ftp. ftp'd that image to another dbox, no problems, all channels. ftp'd the same image again to this box, everything transfers ok... but then i got that problem trying to write the image. i'll try that other software when i get home. i dont want to put the image on without the bouquets, that the whole reason i want this image, i have the bouquets all set up the way i want. Cheers Paul, adam
Extract the bow ks and services from the image Ftp the image to the box Get that up and running Then ftp service and bow k back on How are you trying to load it,wot instuctions on remote FTP .img file to the /tmp folder on the box. Using remote... DBOX SERVICE MENU SOFTWARE UPDATE EXPERT FUNCTIONS WRITE ONE PARTITION FLASH WITHOUT BOOTLOADER Good luck ..............Paul
As paul said above, by the way you only need to write or read ONE partition and flash without bootloader this will save all settings and services and bouquets.
i was flashing it by doing DBOX SERVICE MENU SOFTWARE UPDATE EXPERT FUNCTIONS WRITE WHOLE IMAGE and thats why it wasn't working on this box. i have now done DBOX SERVICE MENU SOFTWARE UPDATE EXPERT FUNCTIONS WRITE ONE PARTITION FLASH WITHOUT BOOTLOADER and it's working perfectly!! thanks Paul!! adam
