    Default how to flash a DM800

    Flashing a new firmware (image) by Browser

    What you need to flash
    You need the image file you want to flash. Image files have the extension *.nfi. You can't flash other
    images like *.img files. Don't try it - it won't work.
    You need either a DHCP server, a configured bootloader or a serial cable and a terminal program
    like HyperTerm.
    You need a browser, and a network cable. If you connect the Dreambox directly to the PC,
    you need a cross cable, if you connect trough a switch/hub/router you need a normal
    (non-cross) cable.
    To flash a new image, you can use the second stage loader. It must be present and not broken.
    The following steps assume you have a DHCP server. If you don't have one, you have to setup
    an IP address in the bootloader's serial setup.



    - Power down the Dreambox, either using "shutdown" and by removing the power connector.

    Standby is not enough!



    - (1.) Press and hold the power button. Replug the power connector into the Dreambox.
    - (3.) A text "*** STOP ***" should appear. Now you can release the button.
    The bootloader entered the "waiting" mode.
    - (4.) Above the "*** STOP ***" text, there should appear an IP-address
    (four decimal values with a dot in between). If there appears the string "dhcp" instead,
    the box still searches for a DHCP server. Wait a bit. If it doesn't change, something doesn't
    work with the DHCP server. Check wether network cable is plugged in etc. If it just doesn't
    work, set an IP using the serial terminal)



    * - Now, open a browser on your PC.
    (1.) enter in the address line "http://ip/" (where ip must be replaced with the value in the LCD).
    - (2.) on the bottom of the page, there's a link called "firmware upgrade". Click it.



    * - On the next page, you can select the flash image you want to flash. be sure that it has the ".nfi" extension.
    You can't flash other images (like .img)!
    - Click on "FLASH!" and wait. It might take some time to upload and flash the image.
    - Switch the box off again, and on again. The new image should be flashed and working.

    THE TRUTH
    The Hillsborough Independent Panel. 12/09/12

    Today's report is black and white.The Liverpool fans were not the cause of the disaster.
    The panel has quite simply found 'no evidence' in support of allegations of 'exceptional levels of drunkenness, ticketlessness or violence among Liverpool fans' and 'no evidence that fans had conspired to arrive late at the stadium' and 'no evidence that they stole from the dead and dying'.

    Hi krazylegz

    I've followed all your instructions and when it comes to this part:
    Now, open a browser on your PC.
    (1.) enter in the address line "http://ip/" (where ip must be replaced with the value in the LCD).
    - (2.) on the bottom of the page, there's a link called "firmware upgrade". Click it.

    I have no bottom of the page so "firmware upgrade" isn't showing !!? It opens in one page only so I can't scroll down but when I go through the options I can see the channel list and even get the picture of the channel it's tuned to. So what am I doing wrong please?
    Only just got this box and it is quite different (well to an idiot like me!!) from my 7020.
    Great post and thanks for any help/pointers you can offer.

    Hi karoboy Well don't know where to start really mate - how long is a piece of string!!! 1. what image is it running? 2. what tuner has it got fitted? 3. are you motorised or fixed dish? 4. what signal percentage is showing? 5. does it happen on ALL HD channels or just some (and if so which ones)?

    So assuming it's fairly new with possibly the latest "M" version tuner and you are up near the 100% mark with signal etc are you sure it's not your internet dropping out - again assuming you are not running original card

    Before anyone can help, you really need to give more details

    Hope you get it sorted OK

    Guys, I had similar issue - I guess the most important thing is working out what sim you have - I have a 2.01. Once I had that I was able to use dreamup with a serial cable to install a second stage loader (I went with 76 - my dm original came with 72). Having done that - I then installed the image making sure the image matched the SSL version AND the sim version.

    try Free Dreambox Images Download (Only for NEWB DM800 SIM2)

    Default Can we flash the image with Flashwizard on DM800 ?

    Can we use a better transfer application like Flashwizard for the Dreambox 800HD image update ?

    Or other method like Barry Allens ?

    George
