Dbox2 Flashing Assistant

[harry1986]

Has anyone got the english version of Dbox2 Flashing Assistant?

[peco]

IFA V3 is in English

https://www.ssl-id.de/hallenberg.com/?content=downloads&

Although the writing is in German you have the multi language option during install. ;)

Hey driniking_eyez,

You need a serial cable and a cross over cable.

All the guides you need are in the downloads section:
Digital Kaos - Downloads - Guides (http://www.digital-kaos.co.uk/forums/dlcat-guides-5/)

Better still, try IFA 3.1 Portable, thanks to our good fiend Renwich. All in English- and the first IFA I've ever tried where you DON'T need a null-modem cable.

It's a standalone, too- will work from a USB Stick drive! Works great for me, even when AVG 8 is active.

Cheers- AL :wink:

[harry1986]

thanks all sorted thankyou for all your help :)

hi gizmo
thanks .... ya i've managed to download the guide ... but I still cant flash the box after going thru' the guide ...
This is what I'm trying to to ....
I've connected the dbox with rj45 (network cable) and connected one end of a null modem cable to dbox and the other end to a 'RS232 to USB' cable and connected the USB end of the 'RS232 to USB' to the PC and I've disabled all the firewalls.
I executed IFA 3.2.1 and it asked for the image which I selected (Commando_10cR_x2_20-12-2008_20h07.img) then selected the network card and on Step 3 where it asks whether you have a 'Null mobem cable' I clicked 'Yes' and for the port it only gives me com port 1 on the dropdown. so I selected that ... finally I clicked start button and all it says is 'waiting for Dbox to start' ... I've already started dbox but its not doing anything ... i've left for about 10 mins and its not doing anything ...
Ohh by the way I had an old image on the box already ... do I need to remove that Image from the box before I install the new image ??
hope you guys can help me ... I'm a complete newbie and I've never flashed a box before. so pls pls help me.

You have done everything correctly you are not too far away from flashing the new image.

once all the cables connected start IFA and do exactly what you said above then connect the power cable to Dbox and you will see that image flashing lines on your PC or Laptop monitor.
Good Luck.

spend 5 minutes looking around under the blue button menu - it's there if u take a few moments to look. the rest of plasterers post will make sense.

[mediya]

OK guys thanks to you guys I've got ever so close ... I've managed to set location and to scan for the channels ... it picked up all the channels but I can only see the normal channels ?? what do i need to do now ... sorry for all the trouble guys ... pls do bare with me as I'm a newbie.

[plasterer]

You need to ftp the latest roms to var/keys
Or transfer service and bow k files to var/tuxbox/config/zappit
If on commando 10
Good Luck.................Paul

after 2 days of sheer struggle I'm still without encrypted channels but FTA channels are fine. I've come to a point where I'm about to give up this whole thing .... just gonna give once last go and who knows if it still don't work might even smash the box .. I'm that much frustrated ... this is what I've done so far.
I downloaded the real_magic.rar file which contains 3 folders namely "lib" , "var_bin_emu" and "var_keys" folder. (without quotes)
then I connected the PC and dbox2 and transferred the files on "var_bin_emu" folder (3 files, namely "chmod_these_to_755.txt" , "evocamd" and "mgcamd") from PC to /var/bin/emu/ folder on dbox2. (This folder was empty before I transferred the files)
Then I copied the files on "var_keys" folder on PC (total of 8 files namely "AutoRoll.Key" , "Autoupdate.Key" , "camd_cfg" , "chmod_755_NOT_needed_on_these_files.txt" , "mg_cfg" , "nagraepr7.bin" , "nagraram7.bin" and "nagrarom7.bin") to /var/keys/ folder on dbox2.
I didn't copy the files on "lib" folder.
then I started dbox and left on S*k Sp****2 channel for few minuted but no luck.
then restarted EPG using remote and rebooted the box again still no luck. where have I gone wrong ?? hopefully someone can help me.
(ohh btw I've got the new Commando 10 image)

CHMOD 755 the files evocamd, mgcamd, & libcrypto.so.0.9.7

Open your ftp client (this example is for FileZilla)
find the files located on your dbox evocamd, mgcamd, & libcrypto.so.0.9.7 right click on each one & select File Attributes
http://www.imageurlhost.com/images/m6edmeugr2epjbgaxuet.jpg

Type 755 in the numeric value box & press ok
http://www.imageurlhost.com/images/wyu91l1fl3wqugxg75b2.jpg

Once you've done all 4 files reboot your box.

The chmod_755_NOT_needed_on_these_files.txt & chmod_these_to_755.txt are not required on your dbox they are just text files explaining which files you need to chmod.

yes mate I cant thank you enough for this ... that did the trick for me ... finally its working .... thanks again for everyone how helped me. Immensely appreciate all your help.

One more quick question, will the dbox automatically update if there is a code change or do I have to change anything for an automatic code update.

[murzilka]

thank you for the info

[Salami]

sorry I'm not quite sure what u mean .... can u clarify this a little bit pls .. remember I'm a noob.

I believe that you can get access to your dbox folders by using the ftp client Am I right? OK

remember the folder that you have downloaded fro R/share all you have to do is fTP it to your dbox to Var and replace the the one is in it it contain all you need probably you will be asked to replace the one is currently in it just reply Ok and that's it.

I don't really deal with commando as I don't need it cause the image I have now is working perfectly and stable I don't care about the rest I have the image don for about 1year and a half trouble free free

[PaphosAL]

sorry I'm not quite sure what u mean .... can u clarify this a little bit pls .. remember I'm a noob.

Now you know why there's a 0 byte file in the /var/bin/emu folder of the magic rar named "chmod_these_to_755.txt", LOL! It's a hint the size of a breezeblock, trying to inform you that certain finishing touches are needed before the files in that folder can actually work!

Similarly, there's another 'pointer' in the /var/keys folder that tells you that NO files in that folder require any chmod treatment.

Cheers- AL :)

[Claret 1882]

Made me chuckle too that he'd actually uploaded the txt files to the box lol

Everyone has to start somewhere though i suppose.

Glad you got it sorted in the end :)

[ps44u]

[plasterer]

If its a nokia you need a 2 x image
if Sagem it can be one times or two times
Run flash check
Or shine a light through the grill,
Or just wipp the lid off for easier acsess to the sagem ......Paul
