inadvertantly deletected etc file

[devl7531]

My DM800 clone box no loger completes its boot up after I accidently deleted its "etc" file (I will not do that again in a hurry). I bought a usb null modem cable and a gender changer and have tried using dreamup (V1.3.3.7 i think) to reflash the box. Dreamup does not recognise when I switch the power on to the box as it requests, so I can not get any further. I thought that dreambox enforcer might help but the D-kaos site will not let me download anything yet. Hopefully after this post it will. Any help appreciated, does anyone know whether the DM800 can be recovered /flashed using a memory stick and if so where can I get the info to put on a stick.

You dont need a gende changer,null modem cable will do ya.
Also did you install the driver for the usb/null modem cable.

Freck, thanks for reply, when I first plugged the cable into my laptop, the laptop automatically installed a driver from the internet and says that device is working properly. I tried to install driver from disk but message tells me that the best driver is allready installed.

Try the patched version of dreamup. I had to use that on my mates box.

I tried Dreamup Enforcer but still could not detect box.

try changing the com port in dream up from Com1 to com2 etc and try to connect again....without the gender changer.

The usb null modem cable is has a male serial connector as does my box so I have to use the gender changer to phyically connect with box. Would this cause a problem.

I did try changing the port in Dreamup but no luck.
