DM500 Flashing error has killed my box. HELP

[christophson]

Hi guys, I have a dreambox 500c and i connected it using a null modem cable. I unplugged all other wires and opened up dreamup and clicked connect.

It found my box ok and so i pointed it to the to dkv1.1 image that i got from digital kaos and clicked flash. It asked me did i want to flash erase so i clicked yes. It then began to flash. However after two minutes it displayed an error and had to abort.

Now when i connect my dm500 to the tv i get a purple screen and the box wont respond (cant even put it on standby).

The real problem is now when i connect it to dreamup to attempt another flash it cant even find my box and all other buttons are grayed out. How do i fix this?

Use a different version of dreamup. This error after a few minutes of loading is caused by certain versions of dreamup.

I prefer the older versions of dreamup.

I have tried using dreamup ver 1.3.3.2, ver 1.3.2.1 and ver 1.3.3.5. Still with no joy. Any ideas??

ok i can get dreamup version 1.3.3.5 to work. However when i am flashing an image i get the error message "Error Upload aborted". How do i get around this problem so as i can put an image onto the dreambox to allow me to recieve the free to air channels??

Try clicking no to flash erase.
Or download the image again.

Thanks for your help m8 but got it sorted there. I used dreambox edit to restore the settings. Now i have the menus back but still cant connect to any free to air channels. I get all known transponders have been tried but no lock was possible etc.

Do you know how i fix this problem??
