What you said id what you need, only other thing you need is the image.

Null modem
dreamUP
Image

If you dont have a null modem cable you could use Flashwizard Pro to put the image on.

Dont forget to save your services and bouquets and cable folder.

Dont worry about asking questions, ask as many as you need until you get it sorted.

thanks.

Yes flashwizard pro will let you do it with a Xover cable. I am not sure about saved images as they may be too big but it will let you do it with a bare image.

What image have you on at the minute....personally I use DW 2.0 image.

If you have a null modem then use that though.

[animal666]

cheers mate. will give it a try.

Yes m8 update it, 2.0 has been out for ages but it now has the new AU fix in it aswell. I personally like Mr Dudes pulse skin on it.

Cool, are there many differences between the two versions??

I never had 1.6 so I dont know whats different but if you look at the info for the image below you can maybe tell from that.

Thanks Jaffa. I found the modded version with update april update fix...so will try this when I get chance. One more thing does the box need to be connected to the tv when updating or just plugged into pc. thanks

If you are doing it with IFA then the pc is good enough as instructions are on monitor but if putting image in tmp folder you will obviously need to get to user panel on dreambox, if using flashwizrdPro then again pc will do.

[animal666]

i am just about to flash my dreambox using dreamup. where do i fin dthe services, cable and bouquet folder so that i may save them. also, can i find them using a null modem cable or using the crossover cable using fllashfxp.

thanks lads.

[smirnoff_rules]

no m8 u will have to scan again . u can only save with ftp to the pc

[animal666]

so there is no way of the box remebering my bouquets or the order they are in.

[Jaffa]

Only if you transfer them by ftp from the box to your pc then back after flash.

you can find them in /var/tuxbox/config/enigma (I think thats right...)

I usually save:

cable folder
services file
bouquets file

the services and bouquet files dont have an extension.
