Flashing dk v1.1 image

[Duggy08]

Hi. Can you flash the image using Filezilla and an ethernet cable?. I have lost my null modem cable which I have previously used with Dreamup. Got a new computer and cant find the cable. Any ideas!!!!

You need a crossover cable (similar to ethernet cable) to connect pc to dbox directly. A straight ethernet cable will work connecting the 2 through a router. never used filezilla but should be similar ftp software to flashfxp so should work. You could also always try flashfxp.

Hi ss0000. will try that later. Can I get a download of that software here? Is it straightforward to use? Out of touch with everything.

just use filezilla.

Where do i transfer the image to using filezilla???

[ss0000]

If you want to flash a new image best to use flashwizardpro software, easier and straighforward, tuts and software in dloads for this.

SO MANY SOFTWARES TO DO ONE JOB.
Cheers ss0000. Will try flashwizardpro. Let you know the results later.

I tried flashwizardpro with a .img image but I get an error

"backup.img" is not a firmware that can be installed in flash. It is too big for flash memory, try to install it in mulitboot mode

But I had no luck in mulitboot either. I did successfully install a .flash.fw2 file but this is a different image. Any solutions?

I did FTP the image on and tried to do it from the remote but it just keeps rebooting. Cannot do it on dreamplus ultra or DK1.1, on dreamplus there were 2 places on the TV menu to try and install but neither worked.

I flashed dk v1.1 with flashwizard pro to my dm 500c box and it flashed no problem. Just have to ftp the fix next and hopefully hey presto.
Cheers for the tip ss0000.

You may need to use dreamup to flash with a null modem because the image already on may have been corrupted

Cheers, I have a PC with com port so can use it, but would prefer the laptop. I have a USB-serial cable but never got it working right.

I think part of the problem is trying to go from enigma to neturino and vice versa.

With a usb serial you have to make sure the correct com port is set (ie com1) in the control panel. I have a port replicator with a serial port on it and when I originally installed it the com port was com4 and it works after I changed it to com1.
You can do this by rightclick on mycomputer-properties, choose hardware tab-device manager. Right click on your usb com and select properties, you can change the com port in 1 of the tabs named 'port settings'
hope this helps
