It may be that the process simply hung up during flashing or you accidentally pulled the plug half way through (yes it did happen to me).

The image should then be uploaded to the box There will be a countdown timer at the bottom of the program After the image is uploaded, it will be flashed to memory The finished process should look like this: Click OK and close down Dreamup Power off the dreambox for 30 seconds then power up If any errors appear, check all cables are connected properly and repeat the process but do not use the PC while it's running Good Luck!

On plugging in my new blackbox 500s this morning, the first thing I did was try to ftp the digital kaos image to the system and perform a manual update. All looked good till the system restarted, then restarted again, then again, ad infinitum. Dug an old laptop and a null cable out the loft and got Dreamup from the official web site. Followed your guide and 5 mins later we are back to scanning for services. Thanks for a simple to follow guide telling any muppet exactly what to do.

Hi i am new to the forum here, i wish to make a backup of my existing DM500c using DreamUp, once completed backup, the saved file doesn't appear to have a .img extension... also it is not being recognised as .img file, do we need to create or rename the saved image?? I did something wrong?

I need the backup copy to flash another completely new DM500 such that it will function similarly to the original set.
