Nokia Dbox2

I take it then no one knows who makes the best box !
well i think i'll try a nokia this time

 

Sorry mate missed that one. Both boxes are quite good the Sagem you know yourself can be a bit chirpy at times, (Gbox cures this somewhat), and I find the Nokia tuner that bit better. Its just a case of finding the right image for your box, bit of experimenting until you find one that suits you best.

 

sorry again to b a pest i was wonderin if anyone can offer any advice 2 a newbie. as above i am still very much clueless to the dbox scene. i hav managed to download the ifa and the latest sportster 1.10 from tcb.cc and havin watched a guide on youtube by turner on how to flash i was goin to connect my laptop to my dbox via my router and enet cables and try to flash the new image. but i am in fear of destroyin my dbox and was just lookin any1 to point me in the right direction of if i am about to wreck it or if it really is as simple as that. i was also wonderin if this image will cure the keycode problem as at the moment my box works fine but just does not hav the auto fix for keys. sorry if i hav melted some1s head but i really am lost and clueless. thanks in advance 4 any help

 

Cheers i'll go and place my order then

 

Hello there,

I have a similar problem to this. I have a Sagem 1 chip box, I ftp'd the new Blade Quad image last night, it all went in ok. I saved my bouquet and service files but when i tried to copy them into the new image its as though all of the files and directories are read only, i kept getting an error saying something like "can't access folder, have you got permissions". I made sure the ip address and default gateway on the box were ok but still couldnt access any folders.

So, I tried doing a scan with the Blade image but couldnt pick up any channels, i followed the instructions that Eamo gives, and tried all sorts of different settings but still couldnt pick up anything. I dont know if i had the right settings for where i'm based (west yorkshire ex c&w), i've read soimewhere that the blade image has a problem with scan settings?

Anyway, in my wisdom, i decided maybe if deleted the bouquet and service files using tuqbox command i'd be able to copy my old ones into the directory, that didnt work. I noticed while i was in tuqbox that the folders/files dont have any access restrictions so maybe there's something wrong with my pc setup? although it was ok before i ftp'd the new image?

Now starting to loose it a bit i thought i may have corrupted the flash somehow so i tried to ifa the cable ferret image instead but when i press start in ifa i get the same error mentioned above "Windows cannot find file DBox_boot.exe" and then nothing happens when i repower the box.

Sorry to ramble on but hopefully someone will be able to give me a few pointers if i tell them the whole tale, either with the right scan settings for my area or with how to access the files/folders in the blade image.

Thanks for listening,

go back 100 pages on this thread and your question will be answered prob about 100 times also along the way of your reading you ll pick up how to over come this problem and also find all the files etc you need to help you along your way

 

also i have a cross over cable (i think)but not a null cable if thats what it is called do you need both or is it one or the other?

 

Laky is now on, and working. Just hope it stays that way for a while!! Cheers mate.

 

here is the idiots guide :]

you will need

laky-pro 1(from BIGMAQ tool-bar)

Image flashing assistant (GOOGLE)

null-modem cable

patch/crossover-cable



Now we need to setup the dbox to use ftp easily via your existing patch/crossover-cable.

1.Get your dbox remote in your hand press dbox.
2.Select the settings menu press ok.
3.Select network then press ok.
4.Change ip address to 192.168.0.100
5.Change subnet mask to 255.255.255.0
6.change default gateway to 192.168.254.2
7.Save all setting press the home button.


Now plug your patch/crossover-cable into the back off the dbox.
Some off you might not have a rj45 lead spare, So use the one that the routers got
plugged into.

It the lead that plugs into your current computer network card to the broadband box.

Now we need to setup your computer to talk to the dbox via ftp

On your computer press the following (windows only)

1.Press Start
2.Press my network places
3.Press view network connections
4.Highlight local area connection.
5.Right click select properties.
6.Scroll down to tcp/ip
7.press enter.
8.Select the use the following ip.
9.Enter ip address 192.168.0.105
10.Enter subnet mask 255.255.255.0
11. Enter default gateway 192.169.254.2

Press ok shuts the window then press ok again shuts all network windows.


using your Image flashing assistant flash you dbox2 with the NEW laky-pro image

when finished flashing turn of the Image flashing assistant

un-plug your box from the mains (then restart)

select English

press blue button

select town (box will re-boot)

scan for channels

done!

ps turn off your firewall

good luck

Hi there,

Does anyone know where I can get my hands on the latest image for the Noki.a dbox2 ? I need the image for my Chorus connection in Co. Kildare. Will the latest image include the fix for the code changes ?

Your help would be greatly appreciated.

 

do u need both a null cable and a patch/cross over cable ? or just one or the other

argh ready to rip hair out lol

 

follow my instructions a few posts back and you cant go wrong!!!
you need both cables.

 

you can use just a cross over cable but you need to unplug from the mains when it says (waiting for dbox) then back in can take a few attempts, presuming using ifa, your pulling your hair out iv been on debuging a debox since monday and i have built a computer (desktop) used win 98 win 2000 xp and still no luck, im going crazy now lol, can you help me??

 

i wouldnt give myself advice by the sounds of it ur alot more in the know then i am lol. what is the best ftp programme to use cute fxp or flash fxp iv tried to connect using flash and a cross over cable but it says its unable to connect?

im back with five channels and its like iv lost a limb!

 

Press dbox button on remote
Scroll to settings press ok
Scroll down to network press ok
In the menu you should have the setting of the dbox
Ip address 192.168.1.110
Subnet mask 255.255.255.0
Broadcast 192.168.1.255
Default gateway 192.168.1.1
Dns server 192.168.1.1
If they are the same continue to the next step of setting up your pc
Pc Settings
Step 1 goto were your network connections are

select use this ip
192.168.1.109
255 255 255 0 this will fill in
close all windows ok ok ok etc etc etc

now open ftp program
label = dbox2 or what ever you want to call your dbox
host address 192.168.1.110
user name root
password (dbox)(dbox2)(commando)if using that image
connect

if all well you will be connected
if your not then i cab be 100% sure the password is wrong
then you ll need ifa to flash the box
