How to Flash .nfi images

[bilbo1161]

What do you use to Flash a Dreambox with a .nfi image, such as the PLI-Jade image?

Hi

use telnet see red stickies at the top rename it .img

[bilbo1161]

It says "This will only work with a .img file"

Will it work by simply renaming it??

Logon to your dreambox using the web browser than browse to wherever you have the .nfi file on your pc and select flash on the web browser. Wait till gets to 100% and says 'done' on the status bar of your browser. Reboot your dreambox.

If you have not recieved your box than what you need to do when you recieve the box is kill the boot loader with telnet and than use the web browser to flash your image.

Log into box via telnet.

Type:

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

Open up a web browser and type in the ip address of your dreambox (which will be one it picks up via DHCP not the one you had set in the config). This should take you to a web page. Choose the upgrade option and point to where you have an image stored.

Before you do this you must:

Make sure you have a reasonable way to pick up the Dreambox via DHCP once you've nuked the image.

Have an NFI image to flash

Have a machine to connect to the Dreambox web interface with that can see the Dreambox over the network (this is where you'll flash from)

I've installed as you said and the flash says 100% complete on the web browser.
Do I downpower and repower the box not or will it do this on its own?
Dont want to kill it while its flashing

Thanks
