    HI THERE,

    MAKE SURE YOU HAVE THE FLASH WIZARD IMAGE IF YOUR USING AN ETHERNET CABLE,
    YOU WILL ALSO NEED A FLASH PROGRAMME, I USE FILEZILLA.
    MAKE SURE ALSO HAVE A CROSS OVER ETHERNET CABLE OR THAT YOU USE A HUB OF SOME SORT.

    BUT AGAIN TO REPEAT THIS HAS ALL BEEN EXPLAINED FAR BETTER BY CG SCOTT AT SOME STAGE IN THIS THREAD.

    HAVE A READ BACK AND SEE WHAT YOU CAN SEE TO HELP.

    BEST OF LUCK

    MARK ..

    Oops. So I downloaded the latest image from megaupload and eventually successfully connected to my Dreambox 500c using a crossover cable and Dreambox Control Centre. In the DCC tools menu I selected the image for "update flash image" and then executed it.
    Now my DB will not even boot - it powers up, shows the digital kaos logo then shuts down and repeats. I cannot even access the box menus or establish a LAN connection anymore. Have I killed my poor box? Any suggestions how to fix this would be appreciated....

    mate, you have totally fucked it up lol

    you flash the image via a null modem cable and using dream up software

    what you have done is use the FTP method via DCC, for this you just need to copy files across from your C drive to the relevant VAR folder on the dbox.

    Have flashed two boxes successfully (with Chris's image) but my brother's box (which had a different original image) won't work. Scanning with Bruteforce UK and NTL plus NTL cable ire and picking up nothing, mostly no valid transponder. Ideas anyone?

    I went into Tuxbox and went to Bin and hit Backup Image and somehow the TV is back.

    Thanks phase, been reading up on it since & figured that that was the only answer. Have to wait until tomorrow to buy one (null modem cable). Kicking myself.

    Hi folks, I have bought a null modem cable and connected the box to the pc. Using version 1.3.3.4 of Dreamup I am following the instructions. It says to hit connect on the dreamup and then turn on the dreambox and then.........I am left waiting and waiting. it's not progressing! What the heck now?
