    I downloaded the above image and installed onto two different dreamboxes but no joy. Box just sits there, green light on nobody home(I dont think it is anything I am doing wrong). But I did manage to connect my box to DCC for the first time via a crossover cat5 cable. So a little help is needed please. I can flash the original dw_2.0 img no probs, but how do I go about putting nagraRom 7 on as well? Can I use DCC for this? Where do I put the files? Will this solve my problem and give me an auto rolling image?
    Tks J.

    CHRIS SCOTT.....

    YOUR IMAGE DOESNT WORK MATE !!

    UNLESS I AM DOING SOMETHING WRONG.

    JUST TO CHECK

    THIS IS A COMPLETE WORKING IMAGE WITH AUTO UPDATE BUILT IN?

    YOU FLASH THIS TO YOUR BOX AND FLASH ERASE THE LAST FLASH?

    MAYBE ITS JUST ME BUT THE BOX ISN'T DOING ANYTHING AFTER I FLASH THIS IMAGE SO.......

    ANY HELP, SUGGETSIONS WOULD BE GREAT

    THANKS

    There is too much confusion amongst the forum.

    Thanks

    TUTORIAL!

    Follow this procedure guys and girls.

    1. You will need relevant software so that your box can be fixed properly.

    Dream up, Flash Wizard. Dreambox Control Center. Extract the file and autorun the program. A small box will appear with the relevant software.

    HERE>>>http://rapidshare.com/files/109770655/DreamboxForEver.rar.html



    2. Now you need this imgage i have FULLY WORKING! This is a flash wizard file and need to be flashed through the flash wizard program you downloaded before. PLACE THIS IMAGE ON YOUR DESKTOP. EASY TO FIND.

    Here>>http://rapidshare.com/files/109770789/working_dw2.0.fw2.html



    3. Now that you have downloaded the WORKING IMAGE. Connect to your dreambox via DCC. You will need your Dreamboxes ip address for this. If you do not have it and have an image already on you box. Go into the setup, expert, communications. Your ip address will be in here.


    4. Once you have connected to the dreambox. Open Flashwizard. Go into configuration and ultilies at the bottom of the box. Make sure the ip of the dreambox is the same as the one in dcc. It should be. If not change it.

    Now Click Install a Firmware to flash memory. Now you will need my WORKING IMAGE. You downloaded above. Click the open folder tab. Browse for the image. Should be on your desktop as instructed above. Click open.

    The image should now be visible in the box.

    Now click flash image backup. This will install the image to your box.
    Takes approx a minute.

    Once completed reset the box. PLug into ur tv. And try.

    It should now show that the flash is installed.

    Do the scan using bruteforce.

    Once the scan has finished check your channels. TRY SS1 FIRST. If you dont have the channel. Reboot box. This time the evocam should startup and will roll the channels.

    PLEASE SOMEONE TEST THIS! AND LEAVE A MESSAGE!

    This is the simplest way to install this image. If this doesnt work or you have problems connecting to your dreambox you will have to go down the null modem route. Please leave me a message if you have problems with this.

    Thankyou

    Chris
