1.do you have to do something after you flash it?

2.maybe the cable im useing causes the problem and id be better flashing with the other one.sayin that it puts the image on fine with no problems.?

3.i see things about changeing locations but i cant find that on the menu.

have you ftp'd the magic files?

[gizmo.1484]

You need to set your location for your area by pressing the blue button. Then you can scan or you could do a brute force scan by turning fast scan off in the scan section.....Also make sure the cable feed is plugged into the back of the box..

i havnt ftp no magic files. and there is no action like that when i push the blue button it just comes up games?

where do i gt info on how to ftp magic files.. i have flash fxp downloaded but cant get it to connect to laptop and thats following the instructions. is the magic files seperate altogether from the flashed image?

cable feed, do you mean the cable from my laptop to the dbox?

[mickydibble]

Get the magic files you need from here http://***.mercs.us/Tools.htm do a bit of Reading and you'll be sorted. M

[scatman]

[bWg4life]

download the magic files from the link posted earlier,there should be text docs included telling you where to put them,its easy mate the files are in named folders just put them in the folders of same name via your ftp program

[chris31560]

hi m8 did u down load bigmaq toolbar?? there should be some fully loaded images on there i got one off there....

[PaphosAL]

You won't find Set My Location from the Main Menu, m8. You just press the Blue button for 'Technical' then Blue again for 'System Menu' then Red for SML

[scatman]

yeah downloaded the tool bar but couldnt come up with anything.....would be able to ftp they files if i could get my laptop to connect to the dbox. i followed the exact instructions from settin up the laptop to speak to the dbox but nope wont effin do it.ill keep at it tho its gotta give sometime

[chris31560]

hi m8 have u got ur box sorted yet? if not try this..

[mickydibble]

did you ifa the image?Turn off all firewalls antivirus, are you on a network? Have you a desktop pc?check your ip's

[chris31560]

hi m8 yes i did send an image i must of boo bood some were send again tommoz..

[PaphosAL]

Common noob mistake is to transfer an image to /tmp from the PC, then unplug the dbox from the mains and take it to another room where the telly is- then wonder why there's no image after power-up...

Contents of /tmp are lost when the dbox shuts down. The answer for a situation like this is either a 240v extension lead to maintain power to the box throughout, or a long x-over Ethernet lead, so that the box can stay by the telly.

In fact, try and route such an ethernet cable in permanently, to your router. Then your dbox can access the web, even if the PC is switched off!!

Cheers- AL :)

no m8 u miss understand me im not trying to flash my box i can do that thats no prob, wot im trying to do is upload an image from my comp to put on the forum to help out one of the members, its just that i must of done it wrong thata all, but hey cheers for the info though....

[Dreamer]

hi m8 wot u can do is flash a fully loaded image, then u dont need magic files...

Please do not try to upload any full images with all files. It is against the forum rules to have images which include keys and could result in a ban.

Make sure the user name and password are correct as flashfxp will not connect to your box if they are wrong also make sure you are using a crossover cable.........

User Name : root
Password : commando

[PaphosAL]

FTP password for Commando 12 is anything you care to make it, so long as it's at least one character. Try it...
