No mate, you just have to FTP >>4shared.com - online file sharing and storage - download (2) nagrarom7.bin to the box.
Works best with a cross over patch cable, you can also do it through a router just make sure your firewalls and anti-virus are off as they can stop you connecting to the box. Theres a guide in download section or just have a look at the stickies in red. -
All you need really to put software on is a crossover cable, and an ftp programme such as FXP, which if i remember right is in the downloads section.
I've written this quick guide, showing how i do it, i don't have a router, just a modem.
If it's a new image you're putting on, use FXP to ftp it into the tmp folder on your dbox.
To do this you have to ensure that your pc network and your dbox settings are set to be allow them to speak to each other.
You need to check your network settings on the dbox first, so press
dbox
settings
network
and write down the settings
(this is an example)
IP-Address 192.168.0.100
Net Mask 255.255.255.0
Broadcast 192.168.0.255
Def Gateway 192.168.0.1
Name Server 192.168.0.1
Once you've written these down
Do this on your PC by the following:-
Control panel
network settings
right click on your connection and select properties
internet protoocol (TCP/IP)
Manually set your IP address to make the last digit one digit higher ( as an example, set PC to 192.169.0.101 seeing as the dbox is 192.168.0.100)
Make sure default gateway is the same as dbox (eg 192.168.0.1)
And press OK.
You must also ensure you have any firewalls disabled and virus checkers.
Now hook your box up to the PC
Open the Flash FXP program
On one side should be the files on the PC
On the other side make sure you select ?ftp browser? (the tab is a monitor and folder picture)
(It may already be selected)
Click CONNECT (the icon which looks like a lightening bolt)
Select QUICK CONNECT the three boxes require some information
SERVER OR URL = (enter the IP address of the DBox)
USERNAME = root
PASSWORD = dbox or dbox2 or commando
click on the CONNECT button.
If it fails, try one of the other passwords and click CONNECT again.
You should now see the DBox files in the window
In the PC file window, browse to the folder containing the image you want to put on and click on it.
In the DBox window browse to the tmp folder
Transfer the image file across into the tmp folder
Once the file has transferred successfully, at this point it'd be wise to save your current services.xml and bouquets.xml files to your pc.
Still using FXP, in the DBox window browse to /var/tuxbox/config/zapit and click on services.xml and bouquets.xml
in the PC window browse to a folder you want to save them into, it might be worth creating a folder on the desktop to make it easy to find.
Transfer them across.
Now you can close down FXP and go to your dbox with the remote.
Now using your remote press:-
dbox
service
image backup/flash or expert functions (your image could say either)
flash one partition (V IMPORTANT)
flash without bootloader (V IMPORTANT)
You'll see the image you FTP'd to the box available, select it.
Flash the image
Once flash has completed, it will reboot.
Once it has, go back into:-
dbox
settings
network
and change the network settings back to the ones you had written down earlier.
Select restart network.
Go back to the PC and open up FXP.
Click CONNECT
Select QUICK CONNECT
Go into the PC folder you saved your Bouquets and services into.
In the Dbox window browse back to /var/tuxbox/config/zapit and transfer the services and bouquets across.
That should be your new image up and running
You should remember at this point to restore your PC connection to normal.
Control panel
network settings
right click on your connection and select properties
internet protoocol (TCP/IP)
Check the box to automatically detect network settings.
You must also remember to enable your firewall on your PC as well as anti virus software.
Hook your modem back up, job done!
Hope this helps and that i haven't missed anything out. Any questions just ask
