Dreambox 600 images

[fishy123]

ignore all the above my head was just spinning yesterday.
10 mins today and everything is fine.

just one question though... whats the best program to back this image up to .nfi?
i dont want to risk installing mrdudes backup plugin, as i have heard it no longer works with the newer pli images.

Channels wont clear

Having the same prob here!!!
How did you get the channels to clear?

after ftping my keys folder across i went into the menu setup on the dreambox and found backup and restore. enter on restore then press blue which is reload enigma.
you also have to set evocamd as default cam using blue button/softcam setup.

Hi if you have hardisk then telnet to box and backup your image to it put all these files in usr/bin and chmodd 755*****then telnet build-nfi-image.sh /media/hdd

Many thanks for the post.

I have run the script successfully. What is the command line to restore from the nfi image stored on the HD ?


Many thanks in advance.

heres 1 way
ftp to media/hdd
send it backto pc and use dreamup

Many thanks,

I'm trying to get away from using Dreamup on the 600c as it takes so long. I've succesfully been using telnet to restore images on the 500c using the following command:

cd /tmp && eraseall /dev/mtd/3 && cp backup.img /dev/mtd/3 && reboot

This same command doesn't seem to work on the 600C even after I've modified the path of the .nfi image.

Any help would be appreciated.

try using dreamup with the null modem cable and the crossover/network cable both connected ,tick network add your ip then flash ,this should by rights do it in a few minutes hopefully
this should work

The Dm600 is different when it comes to flashing with the telnet try this from fellow member kagon;

The "telnet option" is indeed as simple as logging via telnet and:


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

Open up your browser and type in the ip address of your dreambox and than point to where you have the 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)
