I own a DM600.
I downloaded the latest gemini-460-dm600pvr-200812192032.nfi.zip
I unzip it, renamed to backup.img and uploaded in DM600/tmp

I run the command:

root@dm600pvr:/# cd /tmp && eraseall /dev/mtd/3 && cp backup.img /dev/mtd/3 && reboot

But it fails

-sh: eraseall: not found
root@dm600pvr:/tmp#

What shall I do?

Thanks, I used Dream Up last time but next time I will try this.

When I type the command Telnet ip.address.of.dreambox it says telnet not found. What should I do. Do I need some software or???

[Bulld0g]

What OS you using m8. ? Telnet was stopped in Vista. Look in downloads for a prog called putty. you can run tenet on this on vista and windows 7

Telnet commands seem to be a dangerous way of doing it as i fried a dm 500-c doing that. Much easier to upload dm.img to temp via ftp, rename to root.cramfs and do a manual update.

devilfish thanks a million.
i've been trying to sort out my dreambox 500c which i recieved today. it got enigma image and i was unable to get any channel but i just telnet the digital kaos image with your tutorial. your are a star. regards.

I don't know the pass for my dreambox is there any way cracking it or reinstaling it without losing the settings or any way to backup or download the bouquets at least

Don't know what's best image so I picked the NabiloBlackHole_DM800_012 image. Q. Will ftp'ing it to /tmp dir and following the same telnet command apply this image to my DM800.
I did all this ages ago on my DM500, does the same process apply with DM 800?
what about cams etc, is there an idoits guide for DM800 on the forum somewhere, Sorry I am abit numpty due to lack of practise playing with Dreambox for more than a year or so....

this telnet dosnt work with the dm800 as the images for this box are E2 images as with the dm500 they are E1 images

the best way to flash it is via webbrowser
have a look in the sticky,s in the dreambox sat section how to

Can flashing via telnet be used to replace an image? I'm attempting to replace an old Gemini image on a dm500c with the latest Pli-Jade3 image. I don't have the null modem cable, thus my reason for exploring this method, as I can't use DreamUp.

[baretto]

For those with Vista/W7 who cannot get Telnet to launch after you have enabled it in your "Programs and Features" you can use an alternative program to Telnet called PuTTy Found here

Works a charm. Thanks Devs for this. Saved me from getting a Null Modem Cable

[dbdos]

I'm assuming you flashed a brand new dreambox, as opposed to one with a previous firmware, e.g. gemini.
