Has anybody any ideas on this one? I have a sagem 2x d-box with commando 6 which i have successfully put on today.I scanned using BRUTEFORCE UK and got nearly 300 channels .All was working well except for the remote which was eratic to say the least and it kept accidently going into settings and system modes.Anyway after trying to arrange the channels in order (unsucessfully)I reebooted the box.The team commando came up on the display and usual picture of a soldier was on the screen.Then on the display it changed to a spinning earth...all was fine until the spinning earth froze and the box turned off to standby.I have tried a dozen times and disconnected from the mains for a few mins but still the same.WHAT CAN I DO????? ....Yours a sad PUDIE

can someone please confirm if this will work with sky digital uk

read the dummies guide for dbox, there are 2 types of dbox, one for satellite and one with a standard uhf input(or whatever its called)
by the sounds of it they have been out for a while.

i've done a google and cant find anything else on this subject.
my conclusion is that they wont work with sky, unless someone wants to tell me different and has seen one successfully working with sky?

bluemoon, you started this, care to comment?

I have a Sagem dbox2 sat and I would like some info,
I have done a service scan and picked up loads af channels
but i can only view free channels, do I need a different card
instead of my sky card, i have seen smart cards for sale but
i don't understand how to use them.
all help welcome.

davisond · Dec 11, 2006

Could anyone tell me how to get sky channels on my Sagem dbox2,
I have done a service scan and found all the channels but I can
only view free channels, I have got my sky card in the slot but
I only get free channels, do I need a different card I have seen
smart cards for sale but I am not sure. When I bought a Nokia
Dbox2 for cable I did a service scan and got all the channels
and could view them. The sat box came with linux neutrino and when
doing service scan all looks the same.

all help welcome.

As I've said already in this thread, you can't pick up sky with anything other than a sky box.

they spend more on security than other companies make.

I am very new to all this, when you say update the key files for evocamd or what ever emu I don't now what emu I am using or for that matter how to do this, I have had a Nokia Dbox2 Cable before and all I had to do was run a service scan and I could view evey channel.

Could you please give me the complete numpty guide for this and all the info I will need to get this upto the same standard as the Cable Dbox.

Thanks

That's because the cable companies encryption is cracked by the dbox.

with a sat dbox you could buy a motorized dish and point it at Astra 19.3 or Hotbird (i think there's live footy on hotbird), but you wont get sky

claymores · Dec 12, 2006

i am new to all this, i have been getting freezing screens and lost a few channels, so via a family member reflashed using commando6, i have all the channels except s*y movies 1-9. any ideas

What scrambled channels can we get using a dbox2 sat version pointed at astra 19.2 and hotbird? There are loads of websites about the subject but they are all in german. Id love to get it working.

I take it all back, I thought it was a cable box (red face)

THE BEGINNERS GUIDE - HOW TO FTP AN IMAGE v1.0 (Sept 2005)

What’s required - HARDWARE:

1. DBox2 in DEBUG MODE with Linux Neutrino already installed
2. RJ45 Network Crossover cable.
3. PC (this was done using windows XP) with a network card.

What’s Required – SOFTWARE:

FTP program eg. “Flash FXP” (30-day trial version works fine).
’Image’ file (eg. boxcracker, sportster, zorge, etc) (make sure to use the correct 1x or 2x Image) (see notes 2)
’Bouquets’ and ‘Services’ files for your area

Let’s Get Started:

To make this easier, place your tv/box close to your PC
(so that you have easy access to the back of both, to change cables around.)

1. PC Setup: Now would be a good time to create a ‘System Restore Point’ on your PC,
(as you will have probably have to change the IP settings, to something different from your internet settings).

Unplug your internet connection NOW to avoid any conflicts.

Switch OFF all firewalls and antivirus on your PC
(and make sure windows XP built in firewall is OFF)

2. Power on the TV and DBox, but don’t hook it up to your PC yet.

Using the remote control, press DBOX > SETTINGS > NETWORK
Take a note of the DBox network settings
(this is an example only)

IP-Address 192.168.0.3
Net Mask 255.255.255.0
Broadcast 192.168.0.255
Def Gateway 192.168.0.2
Name Server 192.168.0.2

3. On the PC go to START BUTTON > SETTINGS > CONTROL PANEL and open the NETWORK CONNECTIONS

Right-click the network card (it may say Local Area Connection),
and select PROPERTIES > CONFIGURE > ADVANCED tab

Highlight the ‘Connection Type’ (in the left window),
and in the right ‘Value window there is a drop down menu (it will probably currently say automode)
Change the Value to 10 full mode then OK

Again, right-click the same connection, and go back into the PROPERTIES of the network card
There is a List of items in the first window (you may need to scroll down further)
Left-click on internet protocol, when it is highlighted, click the PROPERTIES button.

Select the ‘Use the following IP address’
Enter the settings, as you seen it on your DBox, except the IP address will be one digit less of the last number
(eg. 192.168.0.3 on DBox, so use 192.168.0.2 on your PC)

OK these settings.

4. Connect the RJ45 cable between PC and DBox (linking them together)

Run the Flash FXP program
On one side should be the files on the PC
On the other side make sure you select ‘ftp browser’ (the tab is a monitor and folder picture)
(It may already be selected)

Click CONNECT (the icon which looks like a lightening bolt)

Select QUICK CONNECT the three boxes require some information
SERVER OR URL = (enter the IP address of the DBox)
USERNAME = root
PASSWORD = dbox2

Then click CONNECT

You should now see the DBox files in the window (if not, check the IP settings).

5. In the PC file window, browse to the folder containing the Image file you are going to use (eg. “2x-cryo-sportster.img”)

In the DBox window browse to the TMP folder (NOTE: you may already be in this folder).

Transfer the image file across into the TMP folder

When done close down the Flash FXP program.

(Now go over to the DBox)

6. Using the DBox remote control, press (in this order)

DBOX > SERVICE > SOFTWARE UPDATE > EXPERT FUNCTIONS > WRITE ONE PARTITION >
FLASH WITHOUT BOOTLOADER

Select the Image available (the one you just transferred over from PC) and select YES to flash

The DBox will start to erase existing flash, and write the new one (this will only take a few minutes)
The DBox will reset itself when done, and start up the new image

*** CONGRATULATIONS YOU HAVE SUCCESSFULLY FLASHED YOUR DBOX ***

IF YOUR DBOX DOESN’T START BACK UP CORRECTLY …
Use the ‘System Restore’ program on your PC
Select ‘Restore To An Earlier Time’ and choose the correct point
Turn back ON your firewall, and virus checker
Connect back onto the internet, and online to the forum
Search for the answer to your problem, or post for some help !!!

7. Now To Add Some Channels:

Go back to stage 2, and check, as your DBox IP Address may have changed

Take a note of the settings (if different) (if so, change the settings on your PC as shown in stage 3)

8. Go back to the PC, and run the Flash FXP program

Reconnect the PC to DBox (remember the IP Address of the DBox may have changed)

In the PC file window, browse to the folder containing the “service” and “bouquets” files

In the DBox window browse to /VAR/TUXBOX/CONFIG/ZAPIT/

Transfer the “service” and “bouquet” files across into there

When done close down the Flash FXP program.

9. Pull out the power cable to the DBox, wait a few seconds, and then power back on
(this is the best way to prevent any channel problems)

10. You may want to use the ‘System Restore’ program now, on your PC,

Select ‘Restore To An Earlier Time’ and choose the correct point
Turn back ON your firewall, and virus checker
Connect back onto the internet, and online to the forum
Let us know how you got on.

NOTES 1:

Try and find the “service” and “bouquets” files for your particular area (most areas are different from each other)

Some Image files (which you may download from the net) may already contain pre-installed “service” files etc.
but, you may find it difficult to transfer (overwrite) with other newer “service” files (which you may want to try)

jbhoy1 recommends a clean Image (eg a clean version using Cryo-Sportster-17 2X uk02 (or newer)
“NOT HAD ANY PROBLEMS WITH THIS”.

Big thanks to everybody at www.world-of-digital.com This tut is all their work.
I only tried to make it a bit easier for newbies like myself to understand … jbhoy1

NOTES 2:

Everyone should pay particular attention to the reference 1x or 2x Image file

Nokia DBox is always a 2 chips box, so the correct Image to flash will only ever be the 2x Image file

A Sagem DBox is different …

You have to physically open up a Sagem DBox to see how many Intel (or AMD) chips
(which are located on the main board close to the tuner section) it will either be 1 or 2

You must flash the matching Image to this corresponding number of chips

There are pictures of the Sagem motherboards, found on the forum
Just do a search to find them, or ask if you’re really stuck
NEVER flash any old Image, if you’re not sure if 1x or 2x (IF YOU DO, THEN THE DBOX MAY NOT RESTART).

Finale

… And a big thanks to jbhoy1 from the Woolif, for allowing me to upload this revised version of the guide 

This guide is based on the dbox2 guide for dummies like myself (NOKIA) by jbhoy1 (which is based on other previous guides by members)
Your original guide, as it was presented on the forum, is great.
Now I’ve made it available as an easily readable download file. I hope this version, of the guide, meets your approval

Although originally written for a Nokia DBox, almost exactly the same applies for Sagem DBox (except notes 2)

THIS GUIDE IS FREE AND ONLY AVAILABLE FROM THE FORUM MENTIONED ABOVE.

IF YOU FOUND THIS INFORMATION USEFUL THEN PLEASE CONSIDER A DONATION
TO THE FORUM (we all want the place to be around for a good while) 

robsdesk · Dec 14, 2006

Hi,

Please could you send me the dbox guide.

Thanks

Rob

claymores · Dec 18, 2006

reflashed, scanned channels, all back, but the SNR is low so i will get a booster(found out about this by accident).

rubberock · Dec 19, 2006

hi folks...just got a dbox from ebay and know nothing about it..so gonna start with the basic.
how do I connect it up(do I still need my ntl box or not),and how do I scan?

cheers

MrBade · Dec 19, 2006

Alright mate. Firstly, you dont need you ntl box, just the coax feed that comes from your wall. This needs to go into the back of your dbox but you will need a coax to rf converter for it to fit. On mine the connection is called "Antenna"

You will then need to upload an image to the dbox, i recommend commando6, all the instructions are above on how to do this. when connecting to the dbox with a comp just make sure you have set your NIC to correspond with the network settings of the dbox "dbox > network" and make sure network mode is on for startup
