Dreambox 500T 500C Fixes here

A lot of people have had problems with a usb serial adapter.

I prefer to flash with the DCC and crosover or router.

Look bk on previous posts for information on how to flash.

Plus the images are there.

Cheers

Chris

 

i think that mite be a vista prolem try xp if you can

 

Firstly ..Thanks very much to the guys from last night.
Second as advised ill try to explain as simply as i can how i got it to work.Briefly the problem was that the dm500c was totally frozen.Black screen and would not boot at all.So what i done was.

I first downloaded the gemini image.

Connected box with null modem and flashed across.
When asked if you would like to perform a flash erase i clicked no.As adviced to me it will not work unless you say no.

Next i flashed cg scotts new image over the top and again asked asked if i would like to perform a flash erase i said no.

Next i restared the box and pluged the cable in and went to the menu, set up and then service searching.I used bruteforce uk.Im in tallaght dublin.

That was it i went to rte as advised and all was good from there.

AS i said before all the hard work was from the guys from last night.thanks again.

 

My Box just flashed "double exec" Press OK, I didn't get a chance to press OK when it just went to Digital Kaos start screen. All channels lost ?
Any Ideas ?
Reflash the Image again and do the Usual or ?

 

Have Dreambox 500C - using NTL Dublin. In trouble - have done the following:
1. Connected using null modem cable - uploaded dreamup file and autoroll file (from CScott last April).
2. Connected Dreambox to PC and opened Dreamup file
3. Connected Dreambox to mains
4. On first attempt - did flash erase - went through 1 - 3 above again when (Ensured 'Use Network' box was unticked).
5. Uploaded autoroll file
6. Disconnected from PC
7. Connected to Dreambox - did scan on NTL bruteforce
8. Did have RTE but could not get BRAVO or many other channels
9. Started EVOCAM (by pressing blue button on handset)
10. Receiving channel information but very few channels with picture
11. Tried scanning with different providers.
HELP
I really really want to succeed but need help. I have tried really hard to solve this myself. I am not really a technie but very keen to learn. Thanks in anticipation of any help.

Right heres the crack guys. Everything you need is in this image simply go to menu and Autosearch transponder. Scroll right to the bottom of the list and choose your provider i.e Bruteforce UK Chorus etc.

Do a scan once this is finished go to a premium channel. I always select bravo.

Click info for few seconds restart the cam and WAIT!

Within a few minutes you will have everything.

GUYS I HAVE TSETED THIS BEFORE I POSTED IT UP SO I KNOW IT WORKS.

Also i deleted the keys from the keylist.txt as it rolls and adds its own keys for your provider so you will only have 2 lines in your keylist txt.

Thanks Hadmad - will download and proceed - did not have up to date file obviously.

Do you know how to delete the keys from the keylist.txt - I am clueless about that.

Thanks

once you flash it and scan your supplier it will onyly add the keys you need.

also on the new image you press and hold info to get the menu to restart the evocam

good luck

 

ju8st follow ins and all will be cool im in tallaght and mark is dublin it works bang on

 

Thanks - will try it when I get home this evening. Probably is very simple for everyone but I will be so pleased with myself if I can get it up and running!

 

i sent you a pm get back to me if you have any prob
just take your time and read ins carefully and all will be cool

good luck

 

So pleased with myself - thank you so mcuh

 

Thanks to everyone for their help. At first it seems really complicated to sort out Dreambox but it was really easy in the end. For anyone new reading this you will often be directed to CScott files in April but there is a December file available from CGScott also. CGScott is mega but so too are a number of other people - including Hadman.
I now feel like an expert!!

 

well done if you let everybody know the steps you took to get it working to help anybody who haveing probs

 

Hi everyone
Been away since christmas and had my Dreambox 500 fixed by a friend and now it seems to have double channels so i thought i would have a go at sorting it out,I downloaded the Flash Wizard Image and by using the cable to connect the box to the computer used Dreamup program and flashed the image file but now i can only get the basic channels. Can anyone tell me where I am gone wrong

 

you need the null modem img i think its is above
