You use dream up to flash the image

Download backup img for free at Uploading.com

when flashing say no to erase flash



put it to rte for a min then turn to sky sports

then rescan

The set up menu pin is 8500

What I do to flash my Dbox2 with an image is
Connect my PC and Dbox2 to a router
Dbox2 Settings, Network Settings,
Change IP Address only to a free IP Address 192.168.1.10 usually works
Restart Network
Test Network
If It's reachable put it into you FTP program with root as username and depending what image your password may differ, But Commando images have commando as their password
If up and running FTP your image to the TMP
Go back to Dbox2
Dbox2 Services
Image Upgrade / Backup
Flash one partition
Flash without bootloader
Then you should see the image you put in the TMP folder
OK and walla

To get the box working again you need the Magic Files, I don't know where these are

many thanks,great guides but do i need to flash a new image? i just want to put the fix files into their respective folders.im using older versions of commando and sportster on my two boxes-should i upgrade?

Have a read of this you need to put the fix in var/keys

http://www.digital-kaos.co.uk/forums/downloads/guides/5/guide-flashfxp-66/

username root
password dbox or dbox2 password for commando images is commando

[Tinnycan]

In answer to your earlier question, Use dbox2 image flashing assistant. Power off box 1st. Use null modem cable from serial port to port on dbox.. Select your port. press start. Then power up the box to flash. Should see the status bar now. Just in case anyone else is having problems with ips.

hi i'm in desperate need of advice! have tried to ftp my boxes numerous times but cannot make a connection.have read the guides and tried fxp and filezilla but just cannot make the connection between box and pc.have tried using box ip and changed to static ip,but still no joy.can anyone please help or advise me?

You need a crossover network cable for a direct connection between dbox and pc.
If you own a router a normal patch cable will do.

[chel3sea]

I'm using a crossover cable direct connection to my PC .disconnect my broadband modem to do this.

Do you have a Router ?

If you do connect your Router to your Modem
Get 2 ethernet cables and connect 1 to your PC and the other to your DBox

Then on your Dbox go to Network Settings
in IP Address and only IP Address enter 192.168.1.8 or 10.0.0.8
0.0.0.0 all the rest like sumnet mask etc.
Turn DHCP on
Restart / Test Network
If the IP Address is reachable your halfway there

I'd recommend Classic FTP = FTP Client Software - Compare and download free FTP Programs as It's Free, Easy and does the job

In Classic FTP click Connect, New Site
Label : Anything
FTP Server : 192.168.1.8 or 10.0.0.8
Username : root
Password : commando ( If a commando image)

Click Test FTP Settings
and If that doesn't work then your bunched
