    Hi there
    Just a quick question as I'm a newbie! Will it be the case that these codes will constantly need to be changed everytime N*L make changes?

    not tried myself but apparently the image does work.
    (and i do not doubt it)

    i was told:-

    when using the null modem cable method when it asks to perform a flash erase click no.

    according to whizkid 9 thats the newbie mistake people are making. thats not to say i solved this myself as i know nothing... lol

    gonna try it myself soon

    thanks chris i will post my thanks when i have managed to test myself.

    good luck

    long live the cable guy !!

    mark ..

    FRESH INSTALL IMAGES I PROMISED


    Ok Guys. Heres images for both null modem and flash wizard.

    This is a fresh image not a backup of my box.

    I started from scratch so it is just a working image.

    The images have autoroll and have scanning for every service provider.

    Once installed it will ask you to do a scan. There is a list of diffrent scan i.e uk, ntl ireland etc

    Make sure you scan your area.

    Once you have done this. select a channel wait at least 1 minute if the channel does not start press the blue button and press ok on evocam 2.12. This will start the cam. And you will get your channels.

    This is a fix for everyone and especially the irish boxes so that you dont have the double channel problem


    Nullmodem Image:

    Flash Wizard Image:

    http://rapidshare.com/files/110539401/dwemptyautoroll.fw2.html

    I have flashed a box using both methods and can tell you now that they work.

    Tested myself. So guys get Loading.

    New tutorial

    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.


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



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

    Flash Wizard Image:

    http://rapidshare.com/files/110539401/dwemptyautoroll.fw2.html

    Null Modem Image:

    http://rapidshare.com/files/110539456/dwemptyautoroll.img.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 your area. For example Uk or ntl ie etc.

    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.

    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.


    Null Modem Fix:


    You will need a program called dreamup.

    http://www.dream-multimedia-tv.de/download/DreamUP.zip

    Then download the image. The null modem one. Save this to desktop.

    You need to plug the null from the box to pc.

    With the dreambox switched off start up dreamup program.

    Then untick use network box. Then click connect. Startup the dreambox.

    It will connect. The flash box will then open. Click this it will ask for image. The image you downloaded open that. Then it will flash the image to your box. If asked to flash erase click NO!

    Then flow the rest of the procedure mentioned in previous posts.

    Thankyou


    Chris

    Would also like to give a big shout out to cgscott, fair play to you mate. The bloke went out of his way to help me get mine sorted aswell. Am sure I wrecked his head, but he still helped me.

    Thanks Again
