dbox2 won`t boot

[umgum]

my m8 has given me his box which he has tried flashing with something
don`t know what
now all it does is have kein system on the front
when i use ifa the kein system disappears and 5 black sqaures appear
i have null modem cable connected and network cable connected
what settings should be on my network card as the green light on the card doesn`t come on and it says cable not connected


when i start the box in tech details ifa has
debug
BOOT/TPTFTP bootstraploader (v0.3)
debug transmitting BOOTTP request via broadcast
debug given up BOOTTP/TFTP boot
boot net failed


at the bottom it says elfcopy failed:16
dbox2:root>

has he killed his box or can it be reflashed

have a look a this thread this is what i had to do as i got the same as you are getting and it worked for me http://www.digital-kaos.co.uk/forums...ead.php?t=1531

Hi mate you'll need a null modem cable and reflash with IFA its pretty easy but you need to find out which image type 1x or 2x

(Null modem cables are serial so if your using a laptop you'll need a usb to serial adaptor!)

what it says in red let as know how you get on

this is what it says

The file transfer take about 5 minutes and in hyperterminal no announcement appears about the process of the transfer.

You will now need to type in the following command and hit enter.
This will start the u-boot file we just transferred.

chorus 800000 which is in red as i said

[umgum]

got to the end of the tut and it says
copy to flash....flash not erased

and then just hangs

dbox2 barnsley area

sagem dbox2 in barnsley south yorkshire. Lost all channels in april on blade trinity 2.0 so did the fix which was about at the time and just got terrestrial channels back. as the football season was coming to the end i wasn't too fussed but now it's time to get it back for the US open tonight! can anyone recommend the blade quad? ta

the hyperterminal guide really helped me because my box went to loading screen then went straight to standby, couldnt use IFA because of this but that hyperterminal guide really helps. Managed to reflah my box using it.
