what you need to m8 is:

find the IP of the box
FTP your image to var/tmp
then on your box, press dbox->services->image flash/backup->expert functions-> flash without bootloader-> and then select the image from the next screen..

i cannot do that because my remote will not bring up any menus, so i cannot set the ftp. any ideas?
thanx

can someone please send me commando without the bootloader, is that possible?

[smokey_jnr]

so what do you have... are you using a laptop or PC.. XP or Vista

[smokey_jnr]

what you need is this
1) Digital Kaos - Downloads - Image Flashing assistant

2) your chosen image

a null modem cable connected to your box and laptop/pc.. have the box switched off at the mains install the above prog.. select the image location and click on next THEN switch the box on and hey presto after several minutes your done...

thanx
i have tried that but the flashing assistant just hangs, ihave done this procedure before but this time it does not respond, the problem started when i deleted var in the box by mistake, is there another way i can sort this out please
using winxp

IFA will work mate although it may take a few attempts, i find just using IFA with jus a crossover cable the most consitent way to get IFA to flash easily.

have you tried a different version of IFA?? how about this one Digital Kaos - Downloads - DBOX2 Portable_Image-Flashing-Assistent
