Images for a clone Dreambox 800?

What images are recomended for a clone Dreambox 800?

I bought one last week without realising it was a clone and installed Gemini on it. I have since read that Gemini doesn't work on clones etc and may cause damage.

Can I upload new firmware to replace the Gemini image? I think some people use Nabilosat.

 

Generally clones can run anything up to bootloader 72. Newer Gamani images 4.2 and above (i think) will stop the box from working but not destroy it, also barry allen check for the latest bootloaders. You can put a Nabilo 11 for clones on your box.

 

Thanks mate. I presume Nabilo 11 has a bootloader lower than 72?

Also do you know if this version fixes the remote control problem?

 

Normal nabilo blackhole 11 comes with bootloader 73 not sure on what bootloader the clone safe uses. What issues have you with the remote.

 

The dreambox came with Enigma 2 and the remote worked fine. Since I installed Genini the remote only works sporadically within a few feet of the receiver.

How do I found out what bootloader no I can use?

 

The clones all come with different flash chips, you need to check with the supplier what flash sim it came with, modern ones have been shipped with 72, so you can load any images up to bootloader 72, I think some clones come shipped with gemani bl72, I think with the cloans you can change the sims to later cracked bootloaders by putting in new cards. I'm not sure though as I have an original. As for the remote have you tried changing the batteries.

 

Well you can just use the patched images from Dreambox Clones

I'm now using the latest Nabilosat on my clone with a bootloader 72 sim card. At a bargain price of £215 from them I'm glad I did.

 

Remember there may well me import duty though on products that come from outside the eu. Best check first you don't want ant nasty suprises when you get your box.

 

They marked it as a $20 gift for me. I didn't get charged

 

I checked and I have a bootloader #69.

I installed Nabilo pure flash with Barry Allen. I then used ftp to transfer an nfi image to the media/usb/images file in Barry Allen.
But when I go into this file there is ni image listed.

Don't know what to do next. Might try and get a new sim card with a bottloader # of 73.

 

I'm a little confused with what your trying to do?? If you have checked with your supplier and they have stated you have a chip that supports upto second stage 69 then just load an image thats based around ss69 something like blackhole 7 (check first. You say you have loaded nabilo pure flash with barry allen, is the barry allen icon showing in the plugin menu its a picture of (flash). If so you have to send images to mbimages then use the flash wizard to extract nfi images. I think your routing is wrong.

 

If your supplier sent you a box with an image already on it it will work but if not or you dont like that image you could flash bootloader 72 r1 from here
to do this have you network cable attached & hold in the standby button on the box whilst powering on the box & keep the standby button pressed until the lcd shows you the ip address of the box, then in IE type that ip address into the url search bar, this will bring up the internal gui from the box, look at the bottom where it says flash update, click there & upload the new bootloader, you can then go here again & use the image of you want, I'm using PLi jade 3, very stable but you might need to restart the box more than once at first until it boots correctly.

 

Lenny if Sarsipius has a clone machine with a hacked 69 bootloader chip it will not support the 72 bootloader. Dream put flash on a chip that cannot be replicated. If sarsipius wants later images he needs a new hacked chip capable of loading 72 images. I'm suprised that is only a 69 chip as all the modern ones are coming in with 72.

 

Right, I downloaded a more recent version of DCC and the Barry Allen plug ins are finally showing here. I should now be able to install a newer image with a bootloader above #69 using external flash.

The other option is to flash a modern image, say with a bootloader #72 then flash again afterwards with a #69 nfi image, then update the drivers using tellnet. Apparently this works and has been tested on clones with a bootloader # 69 & 70 using Nabilo v11

 

Which dreambox fo you have? I don't know too much about Pli, I have been reading mostly about Nabilo and Gemini. Very easy to flash images actually just need to find the right one! I wanted to get this sorted tho as i've already paid for a 12 month subscription

 

my box came with bootloader 72 & gemini, I changed to PLi Jade3 but found epg was poor,now using nabilo & CCcam 2.11,..very happy with it, epg is much better

 

Just flashed a patched Gemini image v 4.4 #69.

Remote works great again but still getting tuner failed. Think the only thing left is update the drivers etc. I just downloaded a pdf of how to do this. Fingers crossed...

 

after you flash a new image the tuner needs to be setup again from scratch,..in the scanning menue I think

 

I have a Dreambox 800HD - I've put a Pli image on it and CCam 2.1.1.

It powers up fine and I can use the remote to navigate through the menu's.

It seems to be set to DHCP - when I power it on and hold the power button it, an IP addy of 192.168.1.8 appears.

If I do a ping -t to this address, it pings continually and it is visible in the list of clients from the router.

Dcc v2.95 can find it in the search at this point.

I cannot connect via Dcc v2.95 no matter what option I try - I've tried router, with check etc but it continually returns the error:

'Dreambox login failed'

user: root
password: dreambox

If I powercycle the box, I can't ping, see it in the router, or connect.

Can anyone suggest how to proceed - be it a different image or whatever..

Thanks.

 

download the help file here, take note each time you re-boot the dreambox your router will/can assign a new IP address to it, I tried jade 2 & 3 but did'nt like them, epg was poor,.now using nabliosat blackhole here,...I take it your 800hd has bootloader 72? you can check this on the LCD as the box is booting up but it only lasts a sec or two so be quick.
