To flash an image using Telnet

This method will only work with a .img image file.
Rename the image file to backup.img
FTP the image file to the /tmp folder on the dreambox
Telnet to your box and paste the following command:

cd /tmp && eraseall /dev/mtd/3 && cp backup.img /dev/mtd/3 && reboot


To telnet, click START > RUN and type Telnet ip.address.of.dreambox
A command window will appear, enter username root and password dreambox

Doesn't matter how you ftp it as long as ftp it to your box.

There are a couple of ways to put an image on your box. I think the easiest is probably use dreamup, and a null modem.

[mario123]

yeah thx mate i read the guide on that seems like it is i dont have the cable tho or port on laptop : ( just using a crossover.

Dream up is simple m8. Connect a null modem from your pc to box, with the box switched off. Run dreamup when it finds the box it asks you to power it on.When you do this it then gives you the option to flash the box. Point to the image in the dropdown box and choose flash. Thats about it m8.

Looks like you need to get one of those Maplins USB null modem cables. Sonner or later you are going to need a null modem cable.

[mario123]

I don't remember you mentioning you had a dm600 but maybe I missed it. Flashing the dm600 with telnet is completely different have look below;

Slightly different to other dreamboxes. You can either use the Dreamup software (takes ages) or use the method below instead.

1. Boot the box, goto the communication menu and note the ip address.

2. Run DCC, connect to the dreambox. Once the network is connected ok, click on the the 'Telnet' option.

3. In the telnet window, type the following, pressing <return> at the end of each line.

mount /boot -o remount,rw
rm /boot/*
reboot

4. You should now get a message saying that the Dreambox is rebooting.

5. Wait a few seconds and then run Explorer (Firefox or whatever) and enter the ip address of the Dreambox in the address bar.

6. On the screen that appears, choose the 'Upgrade firmware' option, find the .nfi file and click the 'Flash' button.

7. Once the progress bar reaches 100%, reboot the box

Done

[mario123]

sucks ok just confirm i need to use dreamup now with that cable to fix my box?

[Bonesy]

I always recommend dreamup and null modem cable as you can have problems with ftp and other cables.

[mario123]
