Manual update firmware DM 500HD via mini-usb

Upgrading the software of DM 500HD is like the rest of Dreams via RS232, but the mini-USB port.

Items required:
1) mini-usb male to male USB



2) Universal DreamUP 1.3.3.5 Download from Below ....

Process:

1)Unplugged the Dream 500HD

2)We connect the cable for its part mini-usb port "Service" of the Dream 500HD and the USB to a USB port on your PC.

3)Just plug it in, the PC will detect new hardware connected to the system:



4)The PC will ask the driver for this new component. Download from below

5)Open the Windows Device Manager, and you will see the new hardware installed, will appear as COM port (even a USB cable). In the following example, is recognized as the cable into the port COM4.



6)We opened the universal DreamUP 1.3.3.5 (for example) and select the update COM port (like any other model of Dreambox). At this point, we choose the COM port that we appeared in the previous step (COM4 in this example).

7)Press the Connect button the DreamUP universal and we can turn
the Dream 500HD to start loading new firmware.

HI

I'll hope this works on my friends "compatible" Dreambox 500HD - thanks in advanced
It didn't work - I connected through COM4 - turned on the 500HD (compatible) - and a Flashload was transferred to the box - but ... then the system just hang, saying: waiting for acknowledgement - and absolutely nothing happened. Has anybody an idea how to completely reset the box?
