    Need help on DM500C

    Hi guys,i really need your help on this. I'm from sg. I screwed up big time on my box and my friend's box too.

    1st problem on my box,my hand itchy i decided to flash a new image using the internet update on my box. i did not make any backup of my keys or the scce file. So now i'm left with the fta channels only. All the other channels are gone. So i thought i could solve the problem if i could borrow my friend's box and copy the keys over to my box,which led to the second problem.

    2nd problem on my friend's box. he's using pli jade image. I couldn't go into telnet as the password for my friend's box was changed. So i decided to go into the box setup to see if the tux commander plugin is installed. i read that this plugin can change the password. However the setup was pin locked. after entering pin numbers from 0000 right up to 0755 i managed to get it. no joy,plugin was not installed. so i decided to install the plugin from the software management/downloads. when i click on the tux commander, i'm always stuck on the box saying" please wait,downloading tux commander" when i press exit i get this error message "download failed.please check available space and your communication setting" so i thought there is not enough space on the box and i deleted some games and plugins. However due to my stupidness,frustratedness and tiredness i accidently deleted the softcam on the box and now the box is left with only the fta channels too. All other channel are gone. The osd shows the channels but no sound and picture.

    So there you have guys,sorry if it's too longwinded. i really hope someone can help me solve my problems. Thanks

    i dont think you are long winded, but i can summarise in a few words

    ''I got 2 X 500c cannot watch, only FTA''

        crap. now one box is ok and the other is stuck at boot up after flashing. black screen and green light on box. Tried dreamup and dream is stuck at "connection prepared now switch on the dreambox". Using a null modem cable with a usb to serial converter. So now i'm guessing either all my usb ports are crap or the null cable is crap?

          Problem is with the usb adapter. If the box is able to boot up, don't need to reflash, just transfer the necessary files over.

            could not transfer files as DCC was unable to connect with box.indeed it was the usb adapter was giving the problem. Damn i just bought it for 23 bucks.Went to my mom's place to use a pc with a serial port and dreamup was able to communicate with the box,that's when i realised that i had brought the wrong box. FARK,i left the dead box at home. Just when i thought that things will not get any worse, the power adapter died. I guess this is just one of those days that if things could go wrong,it will go wrong
