Nokia Dbox2

you need to set your PC IP up as manual and not auto - as IFA uses a DHCP client from your machine to assign an IP to the DBox using ARP

I normally use 192.168.1.3 for my PC with subnet ask 255.255.255.0

Also disable any firewalls and Internet Connection sharing on the PC as this can intefere with IFA working correctly.

 

oggnogg i flashed box with the andromeda image. now there is no channel info on it at all. i flashed the services and bouquets files onto box but there was still no joy. im in dublin area. thanks i really apprciate the help.

 

my ip address ip 192.168.2.1/24, when i start IFA i put in the image, connection etc and when i boots up it it starts up in the image loaded and not into IFA, problem is image i loaded does not work! just keeps going into standby mode, i can press the up button and get into a so called rommon mode/ unix and i have tried to erase -1 erase -2 etc but this does not erase the flash, also tried the erase - all
any help anyone,

 

is the IP address static or dynamic, did your router issue you with the IP address.

 

its static, going straight from my laptop to dbox

 

diffiult to diagnose your issue without actually having physical access to the box.

 

well it boots up and then goes into off mode when i press power on it does the same, is they any way i can erase the flash not using IFA, also what is the default ip for blade trinity revisited ?
if you are close i could pop it round to you, i am near london

 

I am in west Yorkshire, only other way is to use HyperTerminal -try this never done it myself so cant say it wil work worth a try

STEP 1 - Setting up HyperTerminal

Open HyperTerminal which is located in the Start menu under the
following directory structure.

Start --> Programs --> Accessories --> Communications -->
HyperTerminal



When you open HyperTerminal for the first time, it will ask to
make it default, just click no. You will now be ask you for you
country and dialling code. Just stick in your area code and click
ok. You will now get another window titled "Phone and modem
options" just click ok again.

Step 2 - The settings

Call the connection what you wish, although I recommend "DBOX2" as
it's more meaningful. Click ok again and you will be asked for
connection type. Select your com port from the drop down list at
the bottom.

Notice all the other options grey out. Click ok and you will not
be asked for settings. Enter the following settings

Bits Per Second: 9600
Data Bits: 8
Parity: 0 or NONE, depending on what's in your list
Stop Bits: 1
Flow Control: Xon/Xoff

After entering these setting click on ok again and you will be
looking at a blank command window.

STEP 3 - The Connection

Now you have setup your connection to the box, its time to get
them talking. This is done by holding the up arrow on the front of
the DBOX2 (NOT THE REMOTE) while turning on the power. The comment
screen will now have connected and have information on it like the
following image

STEP 4 - Commands

NOTE: All of the following is case sensitive. Make sure you take
note of the case!

I have made the lines below that need typing by you green text to
try avoid confusion. Where I point out that a message will be
returned by the system, I have made that text Blue.

Type in the following and hit the enter key on your keyboard:

dl 800000

You should now get the following message returned in the command
window.

S record load, offset: 800000

You will not get the command prompt back at this point; it will
just be stating that message above. At this point you need to
click on "Transfer" from the menus at the top of the hyper
terminal. In the drop down list click on "Send Text File"

You will now get a browse window to find a file. Change the 'Type
of file' to be "All Files" from the drop down list at the bottom.
You now need to navigate to the place you extracted this guide to
as it also come with the files you need. So when you have
navigated to the correct place, click on U-BOOT.MOT then click on
open. It will now start to transfer. This will take about 5
minuets and will not show any information about it on the
HyperTerminal. After about 5 minuets when it has completed, you
will get the following message on the HyperTerminal and be
returned to the command prompt.

DL: start ADDRESS 0x800000

You will now need to type in the following command and hit enter.
This will start the u-boot file we just transferred. As this is
starting it will try get a network connection, as we do not want
this, we need to break out of it. You do this by holding down the
control key on your keyboard and pressing the 'C' key at the same
time. This needs to be done before 3 attempts at the connection.
You will be returned to the command prompt again. So type the
following command.

chorus 800000

Keep control key pressed when its trying to connect to the network
and press the 'C' key and you will be returned to the command
prompt. NOTE: the command prompt has changed a little bit and now
looks like =>
This is normal :>)

You now need to type the following command followed by enter. NOTE
THE CASE!

loadb 120000 115200

You will get the following message

## SWITCH Baud rate to 115200 bps and press ENTER

STEP 5 - Changing the terminal settings

You need to click on the disconnect button or click on the 'Call'
menu at the top and select 'Disconnect' from the drop down.

Now click on 'File' from the top menu and select properties form
the drop down. A box will open with you 'DBOX2' connection we
created in step 1. Click on the 'Configure' button and change to
the following followed by clicking the ok button.

Bits Per Second: 115200

Now either click on the call button, or click on the call menu at
the top and select 'Call' from the list. Press enter on the
keyboard.

You will now getting the following message displayed.

## ready for binary (kermit) download to 0x00120000 at 115200 bps

STEP 6 - Transferring The Image

You now need to select 'Transfer' from the menus at the top the
selected 'Transfer file' from the drop down list. You will now be
looking at a popup that has two options, the first is to browse
for your image. Click on browse, this will open up a browse
window. You now need to browse to an image you have and wish to
flash to the box. Navigate to your image and click on it followed
by clicking on the 'Ok' button. You will now be back at the popup
where you need to select 'kermit' from the drop down list. Now
click on the 'Send' button.

Your image will now be transferred to the box. As this is a null
modem connection this will take a while, on average about 40
minuets but you can see its progress in HyperTerminal, so now is a
good time to take a break :>)

Once the transfer has completed you will get the follow message in
the hyperterminla command window.

## totally Size = 0x007E0000 = 8257536 bytes
## start ADDR = 0x00120000
## SWITCH Baud rate to 9600 bps and press ESC

STEP 7 - Changing the settings again!

You need to click on the disconnect button or click on the 'Call'
menu at the top and select 'Disconnect' from the drop down.

Now click on 'File' from the top menu and select properties form
the drop down. A box will open with you 'DBOX2' connection we
created in step 1. Click on the 'Configure' button and change to
the following followed by clicking the ok button.

Bits Per Second: 9600

Now either click on the call button, or click on the call menu at
the top and select 'Call' from the list. Press the escape key on
the keyboard.

You will now be back at the command prompt.

STEP 8 - The Final Settings

Type in the following at the command prompt and hit enter.

protect off 10020000 107fffff

You should get the following message back

Un-Protected 63 sectors

Now type in the following followed by enter

erase 10020000 107fffff

and it will take a short moment to erase the sectors the you will
get the following message and be returned to the command prompt.

done
Erased 63 sectors

No enter the following and hit enter. NOTE the case!

cp.l 120000 10020000 1F8000

This will now say 'Copy To Flash.....'

This took about 15 mins on mine before you get the following

Flash Done

 

thanks for the info but having read this i need the u-bot.mot file, you dont happen to have it do you ?

 

Keith flash it with this image its the same as what u flashed it with but the Service & Bouqs are built into it you will just have to add the new Nagra7 file

 

I may have the files on my PC at home so let me check and get back to you. pm for ur email so I can send the file.s

 

Try this out

http://www.4shared.com/file/44859471/470be486/u1boot_mot.html

 

oggnogg should the box be picking up the stations(i mean channel info without picture) before i flash with nagrarom7 or will it only pic up stations and pictures after nagrarom7 installed.

 

Out of interest, does anyone know of Virgin Media doing the rounds in the UK to try and find people who are using cable boxes etc?

I've heard off door to door activity with search warrants and police accompanying virgin media staff.

Does anyone know if there is any truth in this?

Apologies if I'm not supposed to discuss this sort of this on this board.

 

carlhoper
sounds like a load of bollacks to me .

the first person to get done in this fashon and the word would spred like wild fire

unlucky if your the first

 

most of the people working 4 um have got um

 

Hi all I feel a tad retarded today as when I was attempting to flash sportster onto my nokia dbox I wiped everything now I cannot even connect the box to my pc using ftp method. I sorted the bigmaq keys for my in laws but f&*%$d my own up. Could someone please help me reboot my box PLease
Would be eternally grateful

 

why would they knock on your door with the police ??? the resorces are just not there really to cover the whole uk !!

pluss if you are subscribed to at least the net or smallest tv package you ll be fine the boxes cant be traced

 

rumours, also a judge would not sign off x number of search warrants for VM to knock on doors, no judge would do this without substanstial evidence, now if they go after traders then yes I can see that as a possibility, as long as you have a valid sub to VM TV you should be ok.

 

Im guessing here coz you didnt give a lot of info m8 but try flashing a new image using IFA .
