    hopefully you already have a null modem cable at home, if so plug it in your pc and box and use dreamup software to send the image to the box.

    for people who are not into telnet and fxp it is the easiest way to go.

    start software select com port1 click connect, plug box in(power) then flash image, simple no going wrong but it takes a bit longer than the other ways.
    What should you do when it goes belly up?

    well i had the 600 working on cli image and wanted to try a different one ,dreamup would not flash. [useing laptop / vista and comport converter ] so i thaught i,d do it as you suggested with telenet. ie
    mount -o remount,rw /boot
    rm -f /boot/*
    reboot
    used putty program to do this. i had ip set on the box and i could telenet to the box before this. after putting in the command mount -o remount,rw /boot
    rm -f /boot/*
    reboot the box went off and came on with red light flashinrg and the odd green flashing light every now and again. now i.m stuck,any idea,s m8? thanks for the reply.also tried restarting the box with power button held down , still no joy.???????

    I am doing a friend a favour by trying to get his DBox up and running, and wondering do the telnet commands that are detailed on this thread work on a dbox.
    I have been using this method for my 500c and have never had a problem, so I was hoping I could flash a image using this telnet method for the DBox.
    Also I know it is doubtful, but is it possible to flash DK1 image on a DBox or is this image specific to dreambox

    Having problems with Dreambox tools v3
    When I run universal dreamup I get an error "there is something alive with IP 192.168.xxx.xxx in your network that is not a dreambox. Dreamup may not work properly"

    Any ideas?

    oh god...

    i renamed the image wrong when i ftped it - i typed in the command and it got as far as erasing but stopped when it couldn't find a matching image file

    i then repeated the command and get the error message:

    "cp: unable to open '/dev.mt/3': no such file or directory"

    what should i do?

    edit:

    nevermind i restarted my telnet client and redid the commands - which seems to have done the job
