sagem d box 2...kein system

as you have all seen in other posts, the box wont load and it says kein system

i have seen that the box needs to be flashed, only im a complete noob to this and havent a clue how to do it


another problem i have is i dont have a laptop and my pc is upstairs and the dbox is downstairs so its impossible to network them


any help would be great

 

Dont need to network them mate just take your box up to the pc and flash it useing ifa and a crossover cable
It does not need to be connected to the internet to do this....Paul

 

i have nokia dbox2 with the same thing but it will connect to pc any help please

 

If you have a kein system on your d box there is only ifa that will remove it ......Paul

 

what is ifa

 

Image Flashing Assistant
Here if you want it.........Paul

 

i do want it mate, and help on how to do it too if you can

i am computer literate, but im new to the d boxes, and my local whizz kid cant get back to me till friday, i reckon i can work it out myself by then

once i have done the IFA, do i need to re-install the sporster software on it?, only i dont have the software

 

i know this probably sounds very very stupid, but what is a crossover?

 

The IFA flashes an image (usually sportster or commando) onto your box. The IFA & 'images' are freely available on the web, you just have to go search for it.

 

what crossover lead do i need to plug the d box into my pc?

in simple terms?, lol

so its not gonna be a basic lead i might have lying around then?

 

i have a few basic pc leads lying around if they will work, ethernet lead etc

 

ethernet cross over cable you need
Not straight

 

and can i just walk into any computer/electrical store and pick 1 up?

also you said the software is available if i wanted it, i would really like some help with this, its starting to drive me nuts now, lol

 

Sure mate get them in ant comp shop

sorry couldnt find how to pm

 

Most computer shops will sell crossover cables (it will be clearly marked).

However, like I posted if you have a few straight through cables then you can 'make' a crossover cable. It's fairly easy.

I heard that if you have a router, then you can actually use a normal cable.

 

i have a router, i dont fancy making my own cable though

would be a lot easier if i knew someone who would just come round plug the laptop into it and away we go
