To un bomb dm500

[vergil7]

Why do so many Dreamboxes go on the blink ?. I bought my Dreambox 500s

two weeks ago brand new from China , It worked okay the day that i received

it, But the very next day it was as dead as a dodo, I have checked photos of

originals with photos of clones from China and it dose'nt seem to be a clone,

So again i ask why do they all go bang. I would love to know the answer.

[alunfennell]

When you say a Dreambox clone, do you mean your Receiver has the Dreambox Logo on the front of it ? If so the Replica Dreambox are very poorly made imported from China, on the other hand if you have a Eagle Linux or BlackBox Linux Receiver these are better than a real Dreambox and Dreambox themselves have even said this themselves.

All I can sugest is send your receiver back to the dealer you bought it from even if its online.

Stay away from replica Dreabox's there Crap! after all its only the logo your paying for not quality, or buy other clone receivers such as Eagle or Blackbox

Differance:

Replica = has the dreambox logo but is very poorly made and realy poor tuners.

Clone = eagle + Blackbox that do not carry Drembox logo's or pretends to be something its not.

[vergil7]

Are these Eagle Linux satellite receivers that are on Ebay at present the ones

to buy ?.

[alunfennell]

By all means the Eagle Linux and Blackbox 500s are a good buy of course do not load Gemini software onto them, but for these two receivers the support is the same as it is for the Dreambox 500 series.

can someone tell me some other interface to easy connection?

thank you my friend is ok

The connections are:

LPT--------------> Dreambox/Clone

2 --> 100 ohms --> 11 ( Halt)

3 --> 100 ohms --> 9 ( Tms )

4 --> 100 ohms --> 7 ( Tck )

5 --> 100 ohms --> 3 ( Tdi )

11 --> 100 ohms --> 1 ( Tdo )

25 ------------------ 16 ( Ground)

Picture 2 referance.........

Th pins 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24 e 25 of the port LPT must be shunted between themselves, like commercial jtags has.


Now, The cience of the thing is doing the connect and turn on the box at the same time.



With the tests done I've understood better how it works great:

The secret is in 1? do connect to the program and then turn on the clone, but with a certain delay. This delay depends on the speed of your CPU, the faster CPU's, minor the time/delay (between 0 e 1 seconds).

Change the priority of the program jtag_windows.exe on the task manager for the real time which must turn more real the delay itself, once the program will give maximum priority of the use of the CPU.



About the timming, if it shows you only "ERROR:register test failded" then the jtag is ok, but you have turned on the box sooner then expected, if it shows you the 4 times "ERROR: communication with LPT/JTAG", then you must turn on the box sooner, or the jtag isn't ok.

Remmember that you must connect the box always after making connect on the program.



After you must warp/straight the pins on the adaptor switch of the box, so it fits faster on the electric switch.

By end, you must use an electric switch easy to fit, I have used one triple (from the bad ones), but I had to dismount it and press their electric pins to don't make bad contact.

When doing "write" the program sends immediately the boot, that is the file "blimg".

The file present in this attachment is the boot of a DM500 and tunner ALPS of CRC-32 9055B110, once again thanks Matrix10, because I've tested a boot that were supposed to be for the DM500 and ALPS and it didn't worked, and this one in the attachment is guaranteed it works.

after sending the boot of 128KB by Jtag, you can turn on the box with dreamup and by rs232 send an image

how many posts before i can download?

:hmpf:Hi
Im new here. I m trying to jtag my dreambox but for some reason I can not manage

Is the 74LS245 needed

[fastsat1978]

i cannot start db 500s ...cannot upload image..always eroor. it says db alive and when i try to flash image ...ahfter 1 or 2 min error. i have tryed all the images al all the tools .. dreamflash will help?

[jouz]

I managed to JTAG my dreambox with Jtagdm500 (Dostool)
very good!!!
I also can load images with dream upload with succes. The onley problem is that Gemini will not boot nothing happens after I restart the box

Does anyone has experience with this ....or should I JTAG again

thanks in advance

[dr_grebber]

Congratz with this milestone M8, was this problem related to the wrong MAC address? (clone etc)
Speak you later,
/W

[jouz]

I just manage to solve my problem:

I juste restarted the procedure from the beginning (jtag)

At first the program (Dosversion) was not recognizing the flash. But the trick was to powerup the dreambox and after some sec start the alps2.bat

this worked for me!!!!!!

Now my box is genuine ....Ye baby!!!!

[sotiris72]

Hello i am new here and i would like to thank you in advance for all the good advices...i have a problem with my dm600 and i believe the only solution is jtag...thanks!!!

[foide]

My DM5620 is dead. I will try this gude!
anyone else tryed thid?

[permoulos]

Tried it before and worked for me!

[wetcoat]

Hi champs, I have flashed my DB 500 with image Gemini 4.6, it worked fine for few hours and suddenly said/ "clone Dreambox detected, contact your dealer Adieu" now nothing happens not even the the red diode of power. Some one told me that I have to short circuit some where inside the box all I need is a wire and a soldering iron.
Is this called jtag?
Does some one know how?

[botoseli]

i will tray today, thanks

[lampadinac]

I need to jtag an old Dreambox DM7000. I have tried with CAS2 interface without success. Anybody has experience on it ?

[Pantik]

gemini sucks!

Did anybody this successfuly with a DB 7025?

[.: JaCkPoT :.]

Nice username mate...i like it..

[wetcoat]

:burnout:Thank You, Gr8. It worked for me. Only suggestion is to do it with patience.
One question. Once it is working do I have to change mac address?

[dartronix]

[dicky96]

Hi guys

I have two dm600 here from china - one I put a gemini image in and it would not boot afterwards, I thought this should not be a problem as I can serial load it - but even that will not work :(

So do I need to jtag it to get it into a state where i can serial load it afterwards?

Is the above information relevant to the DM600 and do I need different software?

The other one i put nabilosat image in and that's working fine, is that the best image to use for chinese dm600?

Thanks in advance
dicky

[marcelo]

im trying to repair mine um using jtag (dos) but dunno the command to repair it

bye guys

[dicky96]

no advice regards the DM600? ^^^^

Connected, and not working ;)
Dont recognize the flash type ( Intel Unknown )
After erase flash, exit or wait long time 1-2 hours. Nothing happened.

Hello,
Thanks

I had problem with my dream Box 500S and first I tried to repair with RS232 Null modem ( 2-3-2) cable and dreamup will hang with " uploading complete waiting for acknowledgement " then nothing happens.
so after much discussion came to conclusion that i need Jtag this box , I did with all instruction( please see the attachment I did all the steps and it worked till last screen) and before J tag there was red and green light in front , but after J tag only green light .
It was showing progress ( in % ) and finally it says download complete " now you can install Image.

so I tried again dream up with null modem cable but still it hangs at same position !!
When I connect box to TV with AV cable TV dosn'r recognise box
so now what could be the wrong with box ?
try to connect PC-BOX- modem I can not get all green lines so I am not able to communicate with box !!

I need help

[eFrisky]

Thanks for the instructions. I'm just in the process of carefully making the cable to jtag a DM500C...

[costas1974]

My dreambox was dead too but following your guide brought it back to life!!! Thank you guys !! Excellent work
:wink:
Although it took me about 86 times to connect !! To everyone who wants to fix it '' PATIENCE '' my friends. Try hard!!

[synet2000]

thank you for tech. to repair clone dreambox

My DM 600 has Red and Green light up steady. I'll try to jtag.

[GNcontrol]

Same troubles here with DM7000, I'll try the suggested tips

[musd]

I have a DM7020 with what I believe is damaged first stage loader. I want to jtag Where can I find a bootloader file and can I use the same jtag cable described above.

[Netguard3]

Just expirenced experienced timebomb on gemini 4.6, DM500S

[lounax]

i cant find the image

[christal]

Hy! I've just received a bombed dm500-s. Made a JTAG cable. The simple one with shunt resistors. My problem is the jtag500 command line tool says that the bootloader is CloneWars corrupted and I should get an IPBOX. Flash type is recognised as INTEL unknown. It's a TE28F640J3 type. The process stops at erasing the flash memory.Doesn't ever reach the downloading to flash mem. Other thing is: with jtagwin it doesn't even connect...
Anyone having the same issue?:rulez:

[jpattard]

Thanks! I will have a try

[costas1969]

Nice documentation but did actually somebody tried it and manage to wake up a bombed clone box??What i always read is reports how to do it but no one to say that it succed.

[octron2008]

Hi all

I think I'm clear on how to do the Jtag but my problem is how do I build the cable to connect from the PC to the DM500s.

I can see in the pictures I need the "DB25 male connector" from the I get the cables to connect the DM500s to the 16 pins.

My questions is where do I get the "DB25 male connector" from, can I just get a printer cable and break it to make or do they sell loose connectors?

Same with the cables that connect from the adapter to the DM500s, looking at a previous post they are called "r100 0hm" but searched in a couple of website and could not find them, what is the exact name for them?

Does anyone know if in the UK places Maplin they sell them? if I go to the shop can I just buy they with that name or do they have another name.

If anyone have any links to buy in UK and/or Ireland please PM me the links or if anyone has a spare build I could buy from you.

thanks for all your help.

By all means the Eagle Linux and Blackbox 500s are a good buy of course do not load Gemini software onto them, but for these two receivers the support is the same as it is for the Dreambox 500 series.
Whats wrong with the Gemini image. Ive loaded it onto my blackbox and works great!

Hi! My (clone) dreambox DM500s fails to boot, no light is on when I plug in the power supply, except that the green len on the power supply is sort of blinking. I checked power supply with a polymeter and it seems to be ok. I had a nemesis image and had recently installed CCCam 2.1.0.
I noticed no screen about a non-genuine box etc, the only symptom is that my box is dead. Could a fix like the one in this post work for me? Was there a timebomb in the above software?
Thanks!

[gorantz]

this thread goes from one to other type of receiver... i dont know what i need now for jtag db 500s ... what cable what software what what.. milions of questions milions of answers on this thread...

can someone make a post below this with tools and cable schematic and pinouts on receiver board

thanx....

Hi m8,
Anyone can help me how to Jtag DB 7000 Using Cas3 programmer.

[godady]

hi my friends, every one can help me for my dream 500s, in the scerm log is "............ adios amigo" now is offff, can you help me how to do working again my dream with Cas 3+. Thank You :ahhhhh:

[nonpass]

good work very thank


The connections are:

Picture 1 referance....


LPT--------------> Dreambox/Clone

2 --> 100 ohms --> 11 ( Halt)

3 --> 100 ohms --> 9 ( Tms )

4 --> 100 ohms --> 7 ( Tck )

5 --> 100 ohms --> 3 ( Tdi )

11 --> 100 ohms --> 1 ( Tdo )

25 ------------------ 16 ( Ground)

Picture 2 referance.........

Th pins 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24 e 25 of the port LPT must be shunted between themselves, like commercial jtags has.


Now, The cience of the thing is doing the connect and turn on the box at the same time.



With the tests done I've understood better how it works great:

The secret is in 1? do connect to the program and then turn on the clone, but with a certain delay. This delay depends on the speed of your CPU, the faster CPU's, minor the time/delay (between 0 e 1 seconds).

Change the priority of the program jtag_windows.exe on the task manager for the real time which must turn more real the delay itself, once the program will give maximum priority of the use of the CPU.



About the timming, if it shows you only "ERROR:register test failded" then the jtag is ok, but you have turned on the box sooner then expected, if it shows you the 4 times "ERROR: communication with LPT/JTAG", then you must turn on the box sooner, or the jtag isn't ok.

Remmember that you must connect the box always after making connect on the program.



After you must warp/straight the pins on the adaptor switch of the box, so it fits faster on the electric switch.

By end, you must use an electric switch easy to fit, I have used one triple (from the bad ones), but I had to dismount it and press their electric pins to don't make bad contact.

When doing "write" the program sends immediately the boot, that is the file "blimg".

The file present in this attachment is the boot of a DM500 and tunner ALPS of CRC-32 9055B110, once again thanks Matrix10, because I've tested a boot that were supposed to be for the DM500 and ALPS and it didn't worked, and this one in the attachment is guaranteed it works.

after sending the boot of 128KB by Jtag, you can turn on the box with dreamup and by rs232 send an image

[audi0galaxy]

ok thanks ery much

[innerman70]

Need some help I was soldering the wire on no. 9 pin on dm 500c board (TMS) and the contact came off the board could some one inform me how i could get that contact fix so i will be able to jtag dm 500 c

How to Repair Dead DM500S With JTAG

The problem is that jtagdm500 (the jtag utility under DOS) is useless for dm500c (it only writes boots for terrestial and satellite boxes).

[bigdjo]

Why the Dos window crash when i open Jtag ?

[exploded]

Hi!
Is there any way to wake up a clone dm500C that stops on boot. Boot logo displays but nothing more.

It worked for a couple of days with som hang ups so i flashed it with EDg nemesis 4,4 to try this instead. It has worked perfectly before.
But same unstability. Now it doesnt complete boot-up.

The clone doesnt reply on serial port with dreamup and did not do so when working either.

Ive looked around and maybe Jtag could work?

[dieheatha]

hi,

i am also new and trying to help my boyfriend with his DM 500s. I think its a clone but haven't been able to download the bomb checker yet. I can find and connect to DM500 using Dreamup, but when I try to upload the image file pli-Jade-dm500-20090627-6494 I get an error message:

6:42:23 PM box type: DM500
6:42:31 PM Ping result: OK, box is alive and speaking to us ;-)
6:42:36 PM Uploading file to box...
6:42:44 PM ERROR , upload aborted!

So if the box is alive am I correct that if it is indeed a clone it hasn't been bombed (in other words, I don't have to JTAG). Am i using the correct image? Can anyone help? we have been trying to flash the box for days now.

[wiilliiss]

bought a dead clone to go with my working clone, what is unusual about the dead one is only has 3 way connector to rs 232 and tuner is on main board rather than a sub panel.
tried jtag 500.exe and jtag amio which didnt do anything after many tries and and xp didnt like dos files ,the closest have come is with dreamflash 0.1 which states cpu seems ok and flash seems ok but as chip ids are different asks if this is really dreambox 7000 and I cant go any further.

Hi ,
my DM500-S is dead too , where can I get the details and the s/w to flash a new image.

Just to add to this, no lights are on either after flash.

[sr20]

Also struggling with 500s clone. 'Dreamflash for windows v0.1' constantly gives errors.

Apparently "ERROR: register test failed" means i turned the Dbox on too soon after clicking connect and..

"Error: communication with LPT/JTAG" means I turned it on too late.

JtagDM500.exe in dos just gives register check errors.

Have played the timing game like 50 times now, hoping to find a better tool.

Have to wait my 15 mins to try the tools in this thread.

Meh just the usual tools.

Anyone seen the error in 'Dreamflash for windows v0.1' "ERROR: insn/reg2 test failed"?

Reply to my own post lol

Flashed bootloader and MAC from bottom of the box using Jtagdm500AIO which went fine.

Green power light was now lit again.

Serial was still knackered (tried DreamUP_1_3_2_1 upwards). Dead serial was why i tried to flash over ftp which was what caused the problem in the first place so box > bin.

Anyways, people needing to re-write bootloader without trying 50 times, search Jtagdm500AIO

I need help, my DM800 HD PVR is not booting anymore it just keep showing the NO CA FOUND error.

*The problem, I did flash it with a wrong .nfi or firmware, but before I did that, it was detecting a DM7020 as firmware though my unit shows DM800 HD PVR.

Now, I need to know which firmware or bootloader to use with my clone DM800 HD PVR. Hope you could provide me the files and steps to identify. My SIM inside shows: WT00 3588

Hmm response to sr20 and all, i tried jtagdm500aio from somewhere.
I look at the batch file say 2alps.bat and etc, all it does is erase the flash but there's no command there to actually load any bootimage? or am I wrong?

I am currently trying two methods. JTAG500AIO tools shows that I can see the chip, can show that dreambox is okay meaning the LPT/JTAG connections are fine but if i try the other tools around the web, say the dreamflash 0.1 or something..... i do not see a way for me to get the so-called timing correct?

I mean, i tried like 100 times according to posts around, press connect then quickly turn on the power....no need to press the standby or anything... but it's always asking me to check y connections...

With the former JTAG500AIO, it shows erase flash then nothing happens but I thinkn it's because of the batch file? The batch files is instructing the box to erase the flash and then pause!! where's the command to load any bootimage though or did i download the wrong thing....

Hmm good progress made.
Box is fixed.

Some tips i learnt for benefit of all
1) there is a dos and a windows jtag program
2) the dos one ( uses batch files in command prompt window) only coded for intel flash chip beginning with J2xxxxx
3) if u have the TExx chip or flash chip unknown then have to use the windows version
4) note u can still use the jtagdm500 batch file info.bat to check ur flash chip or jus look at ur dreambox

5) ok the windows version problem is the timing of turning on the machine and clicking connect on the software

6) well assume ur cables are all good then u can do this. First try click connect then turn on dreambox. If u get like 4 lines of error, it means the software did not find the box as it turned on too late. Now try doing both same time. If u get error still (assumin all cables are correct) then it means u will need to do this in a time between this two steps

Example
- clicked connect then wait 0.2 seconds and turn dreambox on result in 4 lines of error (ie dreambox turned on too late)
- click connect and turn on dreambox same time (still error but less lines than above)
- try to find the timing right between the two above but in all scenarios u need to click connect first and then turn on dreambox. In this example maybe you need to turn on box like 0.1s and not 0.2s apart

And also with all the softwares available especially the blimg bootloader may contain mac address which may not work. The mac address generator available may not work too. Best is to use hex edit xvi32 to modify the the mac address to something like 00.09.34.xx.xx.xx

Thanks alll for this thread too. I took all inputs and finally got it to work

Well gentledudes, just found my old DM500S in a box where I threw it about 2yrs ago after it got corrupted after a bad flash.

Trying to jtag it, but for now a nogo with the DOS tools (intel unknow msg).

Now I'm try to flash it with a windows tool I found, but it doesn't even start (using Win7 - error no printer port found). Any advise?
