Just take the tick out of "Use Network" & flash it without..

It will take you longer but you won't get any errors...

Hope this helps

hi yes i know all that,but i want to know why is it stopping on calculatng checksum.thanks

I have never seen that on mine.

You are not trying to flash the same image on both of the boxes are you,

Coz I was to believe that the 500 is a .img format whilst the 600 is a .nfi...

Have you tried using "Dreambox Control Center" as it shows you internet connection, & if it is getting lost it will show.

My 600, defaults the ip to the first available DHCP,
(192.168.1.100) when I flash it that way, so do think it is that.

hi, i'm having the same prob flashing my dm7025. it say something like "cannot ping box in serial mode" any way to solve this without uncheking the network?

Reply to flashing box

Hi there i am a newbie but i have done this many times over the past 6 months, the easiest thing to do and QUICKEST is to open dreambox control centre and go to the telnet option, then write this in exactically shown below....

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

once its complete, the box should restart......

then open an internet explorer window and type the box ip into the browser, it will bring up the page where u then click "update box software" and then it will upload the image in around 1 miniute.

please let me know if it works for you.
