Telnet Commands

To flash an image using Telnet

This method will only work with a .img image file.

• Rename the image file to backup.img
• FTP the image file to the /tmp folder on the dreambox
• Telnet to your box and paste the following command:

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

To telnet, click START > RUN and type Telnet ip.address.of.dreambox
A command window will appear, enter username root and password dreambox.

Oh no. I decided to flash my Dbox again but...

I did all this without placing the backup.img file into the tmp folder of the DBox

Now my Dreambox is completely dead because i think that command deletes everything. The light is on but theres nothing on screen even the remote does not work

How will I flash my Dbox now? Knowing that I have no idea what the IP is.

HELPPPP!
