Dreambox 500T 500C Fixes here

you need another image on the box first and you should flash this new one over the top.

when asked if you want to perform a flash erase during flashing you must click no.... sorry to repeat but if you read back about 90% of people dont do this and then come back on here lol

whils its very amujsing it can be a bit boring lol

good luck

 

soorry just one more question before i get started.. again.. what image should i have on it first??

 

Best to re-flash with Scottys` image because if it`s a cloned box a Gemini image can kill it for good.

 

thanks phase, i didnt know that.

i guess that proves mine isnt a cloned box anyway lol

can he just flash chris' image straight on then? i didnt think that would work,

unless you mean flash chris' old image first then the new one over the top?

 

thanks for your help guys appreciate it.
is there a link here for this "Scottys" image. or were should i look?

 

phase posted the link just further up this page lol


ok last page

hahah

 

Should be able to null modem the image again. The image is fine so I would think something has happened during the flash.

 

cheers much im off to try now so ill let yas know ta again

 

hi phase,

maybe i am reading something wrong but i think he has erased any old image on the box and then flashed cg scotts new image on its own, when i originally done that the box didnt work. so i flashed my old gemini image back on then flashed chris' new image over the top. i think when i asked chris about this he confirmed that his new image was a fix and not a complete new image.

this could be his problem but i dont really know for sure. i am onlu going by my trial and error in the past.

 

I think he should be able to re-flash. It`s worked for me in the past. Sometimes the image gets corrupted during the transfer.

 

you have downloaded the wrong image.

you need the null modem image and NOT the flash wizard image

good luck

 

ok ive flashed this image.Really sorry for the simple ques lads.do i know need the new_roms 011208.rar also and if so inside is several files which ones do i flash over?

 

did you flash the null modem image ?

 

yep have it flashed

 

if it was the null modem image then

re start your box and plug the cable in
go to menu then set up then service searching

then scan your area (i used bruteforce uk in dublin)

then wait

when its finished scanning press and hold the info button (on the remote) and restart the evocam

then choose a strong signal channel (i used rte 1)

it will download the keys (roms) automatically

 

Quality.Thanks for all your help hopefully thatll be it.ill let ya know how i get on thanks mate

 

works perfect man thanks a million

 

you need to post your thanks top the image maestro cg scott

without him were all buggered

glad you got it working though

may i suggest that you post how you got it going in the end on here for any newbies that read.

 

any time i start up dreamup i load the image and connect. it says power up dreambox and when i do i get the blue screen error and my laptop restarts. i'm running vista using a usb to serial adapter. did anyone else ever have this problem. its happened twice. is it easier to loads an image with an ethernet crossover cable and is it much different to do. any suggestions welcome thanks
