Default Image Failure Continued


Hi.Thanks for your reply. Can you tell what was the original image on the box? I think the one on mine was some version of Gemini although I did not check. I was able initially to use the existing image on the box to set the IP address and also access the option to manually update the image. As stated in my previous post the option advised me to copy to tmp folder and rename. I copied a backup dk1.1 from another box and then ftped this to the box which refused to cooperate with Dreamup.
The end result was a displaying and then disappearing of the DK logo in an endless loop. I have been reading on the forum that there is a version of the Gemini image which can effectively "kill" the dm500c box to the extent that it is completely dead and not even showing the green led. My box still shows the green led but at the moment is about as useful as an ashtray on a motorbike. I am glad you were successful. If you can shed any further light on the situation I would be most grateful. I have also read about JTag on the forum. Using this can apparently bring dead boxes back to life.I find it very confusing. Perhaps someone has a noobs guide to make it easy to use.

You shouldnt needc a driver.

Just go into your system tools, select comes ports. You'll have a coms port one. just delete that. Then select the usb port , properties i think..and change that coms port to 1. then you should be done.

once you get the keys added to the box, and they update, your keylist.txt will automatically change with the time and date and rom/keys e.t.c
