Kernel Loading... won't reflash using ifa

nokia dbox freezes at kernel loading... using sportster 1.75 (2x) image... i have tried reflashing it using ifa using all the information supplied on this website and others but can't get it to display flashing on the lcd, any help would be much appreciated!

 

I had the same prob and it took me over an hour to get the ifa to work.I had to keep switching the box off and on at the wall until it worked hope this helps good luck

 

cheers but when were you switching the box on n off, was it when you were expecting it to display flashing on lcd?

 

If it dose not flash within the first 5-10 seconds switch it off at the wall and try again i just used my null cable and as i have said it took me over an hour but i sorted it out in the end best of luck

 

Harris wot version of ifa are you useing I have 156 here or the other one Some times there a bit fussy Worth a try .........Paul

 

got the 2.3.1, hav tried the 1.56 as well!

 

I have the same problem with my box. It says loading kernal all the time. My neighbour tried reflashing it but no luck. I don't have the tools to remedy it. Could someone please help me?

 

Do you to guys no the ip address of your boxes? i am thinking of the dbox 123 program but i dont no if this would work in your case but i am sure someone hear will put me right

 

well i remember the ip of it before it went all screwed up, i hope it hasnt changed its ip after resetting using the front panel buttons!

 

If it freezes at loading kernal you will not be able to ftp to it or easy d box 123 sory ....Paul

 

Thanks paul thats what i thought, the only thing i can suggest is to persevear with the ifa it may take a while but you should get there in the end.It took me well over an hour but i got there

 

It only took me a minute but i used a hub connection with mine.

note you need to click on the send popup to get it started.

 

can you explain what you meant by click on the send popup....!

 

i have tried using null modem cable this time but still wont do it n i get the following messages in the window, any help would be greatly appreciated plzzzzz....

Something is blocking the network.
Firewall, av soft, wrong network cable and so on.
You need a crossover network cable for a direct connection to the box.

 

i disabled the firewall n got the rite cable cuz i av flashed it using dat cable before, wots av soft?

 

AV = Anti Virus.

Disable any firewall stuff inc. Windows Firewall, Anti Virus, etc. looks like it's trying to boot from the network

 

tried disabling everything but still no luck

 

Can you take your box to another pc or laptop
And give it a bash from ther e
this has had great results in the past for peeps........paul

 

i tried it on my laptop without the null modem cable as there is no socket to it on there but won't do it! is dat jus something blocking the connection or what? n isn't there any other way to do it if that doesn't work like resetting the memory of dbox?
