Nokia Dbox2

What is the last message you can see in the IFA window?

 

debug: Transmitting BOOTP request via broadcast
debug: Got BOOTP reply from Server IP 192.168.0.101, My IP 192.168.0.102
debug: Sending TFTP-request for file D/dboxifa_tmp/tftpboot/u-boot


ive tried using ppcboot instead of u-boot but still the same

 

Something is blocking the transfer for uboot at the pc.
Mostly a enabled winxp firewall.

 

Ive tried all what i can think of, ive disabled all firewalls, disabled all network cards apart from the one i am using for dbox

still the same problem

thanks

 

If winxp firewall is enabled you should get an option inside the misc tcpip settings for that card to disable the firewall only for that card.

 

Ive disabled firewall for everything and still the same

 

Reboot your pc. If you get the same behavior after a reboot it looks like you installed a security software which cannot be switched off. In such a case you have to deinstall that software.

 

I have followed the instructions on this site to flash my Dbox2 with a new image. I flashed the tardis image which worked fine until the reboot. The Dbox reset as its supposed to but now just sticks at the boot picture and the bos says loading kernel but doesnt move from there. I cant connect to it to install a new image as wont boot now :0( Anyone PLEASE help as my missus is doing her nut now as kids cant watch it :0(

Thanks in advance for any help

 

Flash it again, or another image. Use IFA since you will not need to connect via FTP software.

 

Hi Ruprect

Sorry im noew to this whats IFA and where do I get it?

Thanks

 

it is software for flashing images onto dboxes. It doesnt need any IP settings and can fix bad images like yours where the box will not boot. get it here

Very simply to use, connect the crossover cable to the box and unplug it. Browse to your image, start to flash and when prompted you plug in the dbox

 

Ruprect your a star!!! Sorted it now
One more thing not sure if I have d/l a german image but it wont let me scan for channels even though is says cableuk sym6887 which is our local net. All the info etc is in english however if I go into setting/network it is either in german or dutch?

Have I d/l the wrong image? If so where can I d/l an english image.

Thanks for all your help

 

Have you a nokia? or a sagem 1x?

You can try my image which is here

This is working in dublin but the cables file that I have loaded in it has got UK scans in it too, there are 2 versions of 6887

I definately dont have any other security software installed,yet i still dont know what the problem is

is there a way to flash without using the Crossover cable but Null Modem Cable Only?

thanks

 

could u please forward to me a d-box2 guide i have a d-box i dont how to scan the chanels and work it out much appreciated thxxxx

 

@as2002
Are you sure you are using a crossover network cable. The 1:1 wired network cable from your cable modem is not functional for a direct connection between box and pc.

 

Its definatly a crossover cable, as ive used it for networking 2 pcs diretly, which requires a crossover cable

thanks

 

Maybe the network device at the box is faulty.
Try this method. Its a little bit time consuming.
