Dreambox 500T 500C Fixes here

dreamup will not recognise the files as ite only for flashing full images. you need to use an ftp programme (i use dcc and its fine)

 

Download filezilla its the best ftp program i think, google it

Connect your box to your router using a ethernet cable

Go to expert setup, then comm setup and find out ip address for dreambox

Type in username- root and then password- dreambox

use filezilla to ftp to transfer files into var/bin and change attributes to 755 by right clicking the file then to properties and change the number at the bottom to 755.Then on box pressed blue button and go into tubox commander and selected var/ bin the hypercam 1.06 is visible in this folder highlight it and press ok to execute and save settings then exit out of tubox went to s*y sport 1 and waited for a minute
then changed to s*y sport 2. and bingo back in business.

 

Should this not be be done using a CROSSOVER cable.

 

I didnt need to use a crossover cable. Just used a ethernet cable and connected it to my router from the dreambox. Then got the ip address from the expert setup on the dreambox and put it into filezilla

 

i used Flashfxp to ftp the files, i wouldn't work with a ethernet cable , so tried with a crossover, work 1st time.
Maybe the diff' programs makes the difference.
Cheers for the advice last night Westham.

Ye maybe they are. dont know to much about your prog but we got them working which is main thing. No problem for the help!!

 

To use ethernet it must be connected through a router. With Crossover it is a straight connect from box to pc/laptop.

 

@dreamboxy
A crossover cable is usually only required if you are connecting your dreambox directly to your pc/laptop.
What westham88 was doing is exactly what I usually do - connect to the dreambox through a router. dreambox -> router -> pc requires ethernet cables, not crossovers. So, dreambox ==ethernet==> router ==wireless==> pc will do the job. It's easy to do it this way if you have your dreambox on your home network all the time, connected to the router so you can do updates and listen to dreamnetcast, or stream tv to your PC, or stream movies from your PC to your dreambox to watch on your tv etc, etc.

 

i actually used the crossover along with the router, it worked, thats the main thing i guess.
wasn't aware of being able to get updates for the box that way, via the router - net. Nor was i aware of the PC-box-TV set up, seems the Dreambox has alot more uses than i knew of.More info on that would be helpfull.

Also i just noticed that Lenny has a flash image posted with the 3 new files already installed, it would save some a bit of hassle with FTP, its back a little on this thread , called "for bear" image.
i used it yesterday, just re-flash with null modem cable using dream-up, and jobs done. No FTP required.

 

I can't seem to find Lenny's flash image and i've gone through the thread 5 times. Any chance of a link please ?
Thanks

http://www.4shared.com/file/114534655/6ae49092/dk_v11.html Thats the link to dk 1.1

then after uploading image onto box if you dont already have it do this

Download filezilla, google it

Connect your box to your router using a ethernet cable

Go to expert setup, then comm setup and find out ip address for dreambox

Type in username- root and then password- dreambox

use filezilla to ftp to transfer files into var/bin and changed attributes to 755 by right clicking the file then to properties and change the number at the bottom to 755.Then on box pressed blue button and went into tubox commander and selected var/ bin the hypercam 1.06 is visible in this folder highlight it and press ok to execute and save settings then exit out of tubox went to s*y sport 1 and waited for a minute
then changed to s*y sport 2. and bingo back in business.

 

thanks but when i load the file dk it wont let me open it,and when i connect the null cable to the box and laptop nothing happens,ive tried every port,i know i sound like a pleb but i didnt know u could do other things on a pc besides getting porn.

 

Sorry i forgot to mention that you have to use dreamup to upload the image to the box.

Its available here http://www.4shared.com/file/39268383/1e47d9ea/DreamUP.html

When it says do you want to flash erease say no

Then follow my other steps

 

I will post a full tut on this in the next few hours guys.

Seems people are a bit stuck.


I will include full images both null and flash wizard ready.

Cheers

Chris

 

Fair play to you Chris

 

Hi guys, I flashed Markarman's image to the box, restarted the cam, selected bravo and waited......I can only get a few channels, scanned with all of the irish transponders and bruteforce, any Ideas ?
Thanks

 

Forgot to mention that I renamed the image file from the rapidshare download to "backup.img" so that dreamup could find it.

 

Is it that you can only get a few channels when you scan or is it when you do all the steps only a few channels come through and the rest are blank?
