hi all see v*rg*n has blasted the boxes again, if you have done my method just go to s*y sports1, press blue, then TuxBox Commander, then No4 then look for the latest Rom7 file by todays date/time, and press ok on this and change it to the autoroll keys on the toolbar you installed, choose right provider/service, then press ok, press exit, choose save, press exit again, choose save, the exit

now press blue button again and choose No1 DW Dream Menu
press green or EMU Selection
press ok to restart EVOCAMD,
press ok to start MGCAMD
press exit twice

now go to itv1 and press menu and choose NO5 Shutdown
press Reboot now

now when box reboots back up, on itv1 press blue, then TuxBox Commander, then No4 then look for the latest Rom7 file by todays date/time and make sure it is the same as the new keys you just put in (only 1letter/number needs changing)
now press exit choose save
press exit again and choose save
exit again and goto s*y sports1 and will all be back on again this should now autoroll again (update by its self) so enjoy

FAIR PLAY 14DLADS. HAVE BEEN WAITING FOR SOMEONE TO PUT UP HOW TO FTP.I HAVE THE DW 2.0 IMAGE ON MY 500C. I HAD NO WAY OF FTP ING THE ROM FILES ONTO IT AS THE SOFTWARE COULD NOT CONNECT TO THE BOX. I KNOW YOU HAVE TO SET UP SOME SETTINGS IN YOUR INTERNET PROTOCOL TO CONNECT TO IT, BUT I DONT KNOW WHAT THESE ARE. SO I HAVE BEEN WITHOUT MY BOX FOR A FEW DAYS NOW.HOPEFULLY YOU ARE MY LIFE SAVER.
WILL LET YOU KNOW LATER IF THIS SORTS MY PROBLEM. IN WORK NOW.

DO YOU KNOW WHAT TO DO AFTER THE ROM FILES HAVE BEEN FTP ED AS THIS IS A NEW IMAGE SET UP???

 

Cheers jokerjay that did the trick keep the good work up.

 

hi i`m realy new to this my dream box 500c has gone off last week and wonderered if you can help me i have tried changing the codes in the tuxbox commander and followed all the given instructions but don`t understand when you say flash the box i have got a laptop and an ethernet cable and the disc that came with the box but am not sure what to do with them or how have limited abilities in these fields so would prefer a fix not using the laptop. can you help please

 

all you need to do is go on s*y sports1 and bring up your Tuxbox Commander to do this depends on what image you have so by pressing yellow or blue will bring this up then just follow the above instructions from were it says to edit the keylist.text and change the latest Rom7 key file to todays auto roll keys from 10.45am today, this is why you need to install the toolbar as everything you need is available on this. this should sort your problem out and get you working 100% again
the lead is called a null-modem cable its a 9 pin male to male type monitor lead i dont think you can get usb to 9 pin so you need a pc or lap top with com port1 on it

Guide for Flashing Via DreamUP Some quick notes first:
• The DreamUp utility is available from the official Dream Multimedia site at http://www.dream-multimedia-tv.de/english/downloads.php
• You will need a working image ending with the .img extension. These can also be downloaded from the site (just click the firmware link beneath whichever model of box you have).
• A null modem cable can be picked up from most computing stores, maplin electronics or on ebay
Here goes:
1) Disconnect ALL the cables from your Dreambox
2) Plug one end of the null modem cable into your PC (into a COM port)
3) Plug the other end into the back of the Dreambox (The port circled in Fig 1)
Figure 1: Position of serial port
4) Load DreamUp on your PC.
5) If it appears in German, switch the language by pressing Language -> English
6) Select which serial port you are using from the drop-down menu. (in my case COM1)
7) Make sure “use network” is unchecked
8) Press connect and you should now have this screen:
www.digitalworldz.co.uk
Screenshot 1:Connection Prepared
9) Now plug the Dreambox into the mains and make sure it is switched on. If everything is working right you should get a blue progress bar appearing within a second or two. After the bar finishes, you should have the message “Box attached and ready” beside status. You are now ready to flash. (one thing to note here is that the first version of DreamUp I tried did nothing at this point, I had to update to the newer version for this to work)
10) Press the flash button and select the image you want to flash to the box.
11) Select yes (“Ja”) when asked if you want to perform a flash-erase during the process
12) The flashing process will now begin
Screnshot 2: DreamUp During Flashing
13) Once the flashing process is complete (in my case this was about 9 minutes later), a message box appears saying “Box was flashed successfully”)
14) Hit OK
15) Unplug the box from the mains and leave for about 30 seconds
16) Plug the box back in and you should now be back in business

hi guys
C@orus Ireland 17th april

01=ED-61-03-DD-98-13-86-95

 

Hi can any one help? we installed new codes a couple of days ago but looks like v-me*ia have blasted em again! This time our box has gone blank and says we have no channels, we do a channel scan and it keeps failing can anyone help ??????????????????????????????????

 

if this is not working you must be in Ireland or you have done it wrong follow the guide to flash it and use dream-up and the image i have said in the instructions, also when it has finished downloading you must wait at least 30sec before you disconnect it from your pc, then scan using bruceforce as it will scan all providers this takes longer but just wait, then you will still have to change the new Rom7 key its the oo key and the latest time/date from today around 10.45am, its only 1 number/letter on the line needs changing then follow rest of the instructions, and will be back on
cheers jay

 

sorry should have said dont have leads or discs to do it through pc where do we get them from? Thanks

 

Thanks for all the advice JokerJay but I am, unfortunately, in Ireland. I followed your instructions but when I checked the 01 (ROM 10) latest key was entirely different from the one on the toolbar.
