You need a thumbdrive to connect to usb. Go to TS PANEL, look DEVICE MANAGER , press RED button to DISMOUNT & RED button again to MOUNT. Select No.1 as MAIN HDD & exit. Then you need to go to TS PANEL again to ADDON, under TUNISAT look for DFLASH PLUGIN. Once you manage to install Dflash, go to SYSTEM - SETUP - FLASHING & BACKUP, follow prompt & you are good to go. Wait for around 5 to 8 min. Once completed, you have to ftp the NFI FILE from your USB to PC to backup your FULL IMAGE.

Update your TSPanel to the latest 7.2 and the mount/dismount button will be red colour.

Try using ths TsPanel 7.2 to browse for SIM2 Addons and update yr dFlash plugin to a later version like say ver 8.x or 9.x

instead of sim2 addons, maybe try tunisat addons or sat4fun addons

Update1: If you have problems downloading from the carious Addons pages in Tspanel, you mayy need to search for the right version dflash ipk file on other sites and manually update it via USB or something

Update 2.1: Her is a ver 9.3.5 from the Download section of DK. you can try this http://www.digital-kaos.co.uk/forums...sh_9-3-5-2739/

U can also use yr current tspanel 7.2 to backup yr flash image. Mount yr usb and select the correct path for the backup.

Hi master ypvs125.
on a side note, can the nfi files created by dflash and Tspanel (NFImagetools 1.1) be used interchangeably?

I don't quite get what u mean but the nfi image created by these 2 plugin can be used to flash back to yr box. U can also use barry allen for backing up image.

what i meant is if i created a NFI backup file from say dflash, can i use this to flash back using the TSpanel (Flash Image) tool.
and vice versa.
