DM800 Flashing firmware by Browser

Flashing a new firmware by Browser

What you need to flash

You need the image file you want to flash. Image files have the extension *.nfi. You can't flash other
images like *.img files. Don't try it - it won't work.

You need either a DHCP server, a configured bootloader or a serial cable and a terminal program
like HyperTerm.

You need a browser, and a network cable. If you connect the Dreambox directly to the PC,
you need a cross cable, if you connect trough a switch/hub/router you need a normal
(non-cross) cable.

To flash a new image, you can use the second stage loader. It must be present and not broken.

The following steps assume you have a DHCP server.
If you don't have one, you have to setup an IP address in the bootloader's serial setup.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
- Power down the Dreambox, either using "shutdown" and by removing the power connector.
Standby is not enough!
http://www.digital-kaos.co.uk/forums/members/1811-westkill/albums/1/2077-flash-dm800-1.jpg


- (1.) Press and hold the power button. Replug the power connector into the Dreambox.
- (3.) A text "*** STOP ***" should appear. Now you can release the button.
The bootloader entered the "waiting" mode.
- (4.) Above the "*** STOP ***" text, there should appear an IP-address
(four decimal values with a dot in between). If there appears the string "dhcp" instead,
the box still searches for a DHCP server. Wait a bit. If it doesn't change, something doesn't
work with the DHCP server. Check wether network cable is plugged in etc. If it just doesn't
work, set an IP using the serial terminal

http://www.digital-kaos.co.uk/forums/members/1811-westkill/albums/1/2078-flash-dm800-2.jpg

Now, open a browser on your PC.
(1.) enter in the address line "http://ip/" (where ip must be replaced with the value in the LCD).
- (2.) on the bottom of the page, there's a link called "firmware upgrade". Click it.

http://www.digital-kaos.co.uk/forums/members/1811-westkill/albums/1/2079-flash-dm800-3.jpg

On the next page, you can select the flash image you want to flash. be sure that it has the ".nfi" extension.
You can't flash other images (like .img)!
- Click on "FLASH!" and wait. It might take some time to upload and flash the image.
- Switch the box off again, and on again. The new image should be flashed and working.

Please confirm that a clone should use patched images(or factory preloaded Gem 4.5 BL 75 and SIM2,01)
I understand through the forums that an original box must
utilize original programs.

When someone says he wants to flash his box, this action will
result to the update of the various promas inside the box.

Thanks for your reply,
Cheers

I flashed a clone 800 with 1.335 Dreamup, it took around 10mins. I had a null and net cable connected with a wirelesss Laptop.

With a clone you must use a patched Image. The 4.7 Gemini, I used had the information sim201e-75-GP470-dm800-20100209.nfi

sim 2.01 BL 75 Gp470 for a matching clone dm800

I thing yours is clone and you are trying to flash with orginal image. Now you have to flash again with approprate bootloder and flash the right image for the clone DM

when using a browser to flash the box do you have to use a null modem cable as well or just ethernet to router?

Bulld0g
1st August, 2010, 10:39 AM
No, you dont need the null modem just type the ip address you get from the box in your browser.

Try "Flashwizard" will do it for you.

Hello,

Are you sure that FlashWizard works with DM800 (Enigma2)?
I know that it works nicely with Enigma1 units (including DM7020).

I am sorry to disagree with you,
I do not think that FlashWizard can handle Enigma 2.

I can backup the settings with DCC.
Could you please tell me how we can use DCC to flash a DM800?
Thanks

flash wizard will work with the DM500

to flash a DM800 use web-browser very easy to do that and will take few minute..

read all your post some of you make me sick advise people and don't know what they talking about..if you don't know the answer don't replaying to the post will save more time you confuse people

Hello everyone. I'm akram new to the scene and I would like to know what the difference is between bl72 and bl75.

The reason I ask is because my first dreambox should arrive tommoro (dm800 HD) and it comes with bl 75 so what can it do that bl 72 can't ?

hi, 800se clone will be arriving this week.
I have been reading up on how to flash. Question is when flashing via web browers do you first have to use Sunray Flasher using usb cable?
On some guides they tell you to load sim2SE_SSL82 before and after flashing image in brower.
Is this step only needed if the boot loader is not in the image?
still learning lol

Try starting a new thread and put in exactly what your box is,what sim etc and then you might get some help if you ask very nicely.
Also say hello in the introduction section thats a good start!

You need to chill out mate,click on that link below.
As for your box how do you expect us to help without all the details?
What if i gave you an image that bricks your box.
Each box has a different sim,wrong image wwith sim will semi brick the box and you will get No Ca Found.You wont be able toi boot the box and it will be dead.
I dont have to give anyone a break:)

Hi,

Problem solved. Seemed to be browser compatibility issue. Just need to use an extremely old version of browser. Thanks.

Fairly new to dm800, but flashing from browser can be done by applying power to box whilst holding power button on/off switch at front of box. IP Address will appear on lcd display (if the box is connected to network)
