i have a friends dbox and for some reason no matter what i do it doesnt work

i was totally new to this 2 weeks ago but have now fixed a few relatives boxes but my friends dbox just doesnt want to play with me .

i have treid everything the guys on here have said . uploaded the service boquets . fixed the au to 02 uploaded the nargorar 7 10 and 11 . more or less everything peoples have said .

am i correct in saying that in the cam fg section the upload keys should be set at 02 .

im starting to lose patience with it . kaous left a good post about delete the keys folder and download the link he posted then send it to the new box . \\would this be my best option now as i cant think of what else to do . thanks guys

If you have got working box using the same image set up etc.
Just backup the image and tuxfolder on to the computer then ftp them across to the problem box and redo.

[father ted]

did it work b4 all this?if so what have you done differently ?can you maybe take it to someone?or are you gonna try for it your self?

[aftermath]

Think you need to be more specific mate.

what is your problem ? does the box boot up ? do you receive any channels ? what image you using. e.t.c
please give as much info as possible so peeps can help m8.

[notel98]

oops just typed almost same as you aftermath.



the boxes that don't work are they in the same area as the working boxes ?

[rob6007]

yeah the box goes on ok it boots up fine . i get the usual free view channels bbc itv .
the image is commando . i have tried a scan but it didnt do anything . i cant think of anything i have done different .

i set the au to 02 . and done pretty much everything i have been advised to . really want to try and sort it myself . like i said i done the other boxes ok and this one just wont work .

thats the info i can really think off thanks for the replys guys

Try flashing Laxy Pro to see if it is any different m8, some boxes just dont like some images. Dont forget to save your services and bouquets.

[father ted]

yea but was this the image that was on the box when it worked?if so what have you done to make it not work?apart from putting in roms and service and bouquets?

[Bulld0g]

As Jaffa said m8 try flashing Laxy image or another updated image. theres a few out there now.

[notel98]

check what cam you are using

evo or mgcamd are ok others are (to my knowledge) not working.
I can't remember setup on commando but check out blue button menu from memory.

Also check keylist.txt for current keys or softcam.key if they are empty or wrong keys then you are prob using wrong cam or rom files are wrong

I'm pretty much in the same, gonna try and flash Laky (when I'm allowed to download it :))

[rob6007]

what is laky . and where do i get it from .

[Jaffa]

Laky is in the downloads but just for your info...xenafan has realised a brand new image today called Blade Quad and its really excellent. You can get that below.

http://www.digital-kaos.co.uk/forums/downloads.php?do=cat&id=6

[rob6007]

thanks jaffa . so how do i send this to the box . i will download blade quad just now .

[Jaffa]

Have you got flashfxp set up to ftp the image across ???

If so then unrar it and ftp it to /tmp, then go to your remote control and press:

dbox
service
image upgrade/update
expert functions
flash one patrition
flash without bootloader
pop up box will appear and choose Blade Quad then then enter and press red to flash.

If you have not flashfxp set up then download flashfxp and guide with is in the guides section of dbox in downloads.

Have you saved your services and bouquet files ???

[rob6007]

yeah mate i have flash xp .
so where do i flasg it to . what folder do i put it into .

and when you say save my service and boquets files . what do you mean saved them . do you mean save them from my box to my desktop then send them back over after i ftp them back to the box. thanks mate your pulling me out a hole here .

[Jaffa]

Yes save them from the box to your pc, they are in /var/tuxbox/config/zapit.

either save the whole zapit folder or go into it and save the services.xml and bouquets.xml, transfer them to your pc.

Now in flashfxp, go to /tmp on the dbox anf ftp the unrared Blade image there, then do as I said in previous post with your dbox remote, some steps may not be exactly the same wording as different images have different layouts but we can get you there.

[rob6007]

i will save the whole zapit folder . do i juast exratct the files form the blade quad folder . then send to the box . do i delete anything from the box no

[Jaffa]

Extract the image to your desktop or wherever you want to and then ftp it to /tmp no need to delete anything, only takes a few seconds to ftp then straight to remote control. DO NOT REBOOT it will do that itself at end of process.

[rob6007]

done that mate . now do i send the service and boquets files back into where i got them from

[Jaffa]

Yes m8, send the zapit folder back to /var/tuxbox/config then go to remote control again and:

dbox
service
reload channel lists
then go to an encrypted channel and thats it.

[rob6007]

when i try to connect the box now it wont work . is there a different password to acces teh box in flash fxp now .

[rob6007]

just realised it has a different ip adress i will change that just now . what password do i put in just dreambox

[Jaffa]

No m8, the ip addy will have changed, you have 2 choices, change it on the box or change it in flashfxp. I also change the box ip so it stay the same with flashfxp no matter what image.

Go to:
dbox
settings
network
go down to ip addy and highlight it and press enter, change it to whatever you have flashfxp set as and enter then press red to restart network.

or if you want to do it in flashfxp, press F4 and change the ip addy to 192.168.0.24.

[Jaffa]

just realised it has a different ip adress i will change that just now . what password do i put in just dreambox

You dont need to change any password as it will be the same. But for your reference it is.

username = root
password = dbox2

[rob6007]

right mate i have done everything you have said . i have sent the new image and sent back the zapit folder to the config section .

now where you mention the

dbox
service
reload channel lists
then go to an encrypted channel and thats it


its a ntl box and i dont have ntl . im on telewest so should i wait to i go to my brothers house who has ntl and then do the

service
reload channels

part or would it be ok to do it here on my tv . thanks jaffa

[Jaffa]

It will be o.k to reload them there so you can see if they work but if you are a distance apart then you may have to rescan at your house. I would leave it if its not for you. Besides that you are TW so different freq.

When you get it to his area, press blue button and set my location, then pick his location and the box will reboot. If the services where from his area then they will be fine in his area.

[rob6007]

no they both guys box whos it is stays in baillieston and so does my brother .

so will i wait till i get to my brothers house and do the reload channels thing or just do it here in my house .

will i have to scan again or what when i get to my brotehres house

[Jaffa]

Another thing you have to do before wrapping up is to fix the clock, unrar the file below and ftp it to /etc folder overwriting the old one, that will fix the time.

Just leave as is and reload channel lists at your brothers, it will be fine.

[rob6007]

OK JAFFA WILL DO THAT . THANKS MATE YOU ARE ERCIEVING A STANDING OVATION IN MY HOUSE AT THE PRESENT TIME SO PEASE TAKE A BOW MATE . THANKS A LOT
