Guide: Flashing a Dreambox with Dreamup

**ecowarm** · 17th July, 2009, 09:26 AM

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.
