Next step is how to Flash or backup your box images taken from Mr. Devlish post
Let me explain in detail:
This method will only work with a .img image file. - ( means only img format no other format will work)
Rename the images file that u want to upgrade or change to backup
FTP or send the backup images that u already rename it to your box temp folder using DCC
copy & paste
cd /tmp && eraseall /dev/mtd/3 && cp backup.img /dev/mtd/3 && reboot
to the putty program/click Enter/wait till the putty program to auto close
Note : If u get illegal messages or the program do not auto close after 100% not to worry
force close putty program/Point your RCU to box then press any buttons as for me volume up buttons
force reboot box by off the main power wait for about 15sec than on the power back (sometime it just won't work)
If the box just hang won't reboot than the only solution is dreamup, as u can't change from normal to maxvar images vise versa
As for backup images
copy & paste
cat /dev/mtd/3 > /tmp/backup.img
click Enter/wait for the root@DM500 ~ # (in blue colour) means u successful backup the whole images
FTP to your box temp folder using DCC there u can find your backup images/save to your pc/delete the backup images from the temp folder after u save it
My advise is to do the backup method 1st, if u can do this than u can try to flash or upgrade a different images
This is my way of using telnet flash if u guys felt that i miss something or want to add info please do so
