Problems flashing my DM800 HD..... nothing happens when I click Flash?

[DezUk]

Looking for some help.

I have a DM800 and have it booted up to the bootloader screen, I have downloaded a couple of images and tried flashing the box but when I click Flash nothing happens. I have tried both images and have waited over 10 mins using Firefox and Chrome.

Images are:

newnigma2-stable-dm800-v4.0.5-Jasper-2013-11-17.nfi
OpenPLi-2.1-beta-dm800-2012-10-27-By-gjstroom-dOOds-Backup.nfi

When the box boots it says its a Sim 201 #76C

A bit new to all of this, only trying to flash my box as Im getting an error when transferring bouquets to the box, says error sending lamedb. I have made sure its set to Enigma2. Read hat reflashing the box can fix this.

Did you check the images you are trying to flash are compatible with the bootloader you have installed, I would imagine the Newenigma one has a later bootloader than #76c so you will need a later bootloader for the image to successfully flash

So how do I update the bootloader from 76c to something newer?

[digicon]

the exact same way you flash an image, Generally though you would flash the Updated bootloader first do not restart the receiver and then flash the newer image and then restart the receiver as normal

After a bit of reading this seems to be a good image but I can't find a link anywhere

Just tried with that image and same agin, just sits and does nothing in FF

Have had similar prob using home plugs, try it with a solid Ethernet wired connection mate

This is very odd as I've just gone to flash a new image and I'm having exactly the same problem, when I click the Flash button nothing happens. Wired Ethernet connection to both PC - Router and Router - DM800HD

Tried updating Java and using FF, Google and IE - Going to give opera a whirl but I don't think its a browser issue, all updated

EDIT

No difference with Opera. I'm pretty stumped tbh never seen this before. Boot-loader #72 and trying to install the dream elite phoenix image

try pulling the power lead of for a couple of minutes then boot it up and try again, that has worked for me before.

I had this problem flashing my 800, i used Chrome browser and it worked fine. It might be worth a try.

cheers BD and 878, I'll give it a go next weekend now, last day off today and CBA now :lol:

wish I'd kept an old version of Chrome as this new one doesn't seem to be having it

Right lads I ended up connecting the box via ethermet and used IE and this allowed me to flash the box. I now have a DM800 running this image:

I have uploaded all the bouquets and stuck my CCam.cfg file in the /etc/ folder. According to the CCam plugin the config from my old image is activated but none of the PPV channels are showing. What am I doing wrong?


Cheers!

I'm trying to follow this tutorial but when I ask the box to connect to the server for the latest CCam it says Connection error.

.................:rulez:.....................

The box is connected to the ne net and DCHP is enabled.

Managed to update to CCam 2.1.4 via the TS menu. All up and running now :D

Big thanks for all the help guys!
