hi m8 yes i did send an image i must of boo bood some were send again tommoz..

Common noob mistake is to transfer an image to /tmp from the PC, then unplug the dbox from the mains and take it to another room where the telly is- then wonder why there's no image after power-up...

Contents of /tmp are lost when the dbox shuts down. The answer for a situation like this is either a 240v extension lead to maintain power to the box throughout, or a long x-over Ethernet lead, so that the box can stay by the telly.

In fact, try and route such an ethernet cable in permanently, to your router. Then your dbox can access the web, even if the PC is switched off!!

Cheers- AL

hi m8 wot u can do is flash a fully loaded image, then u dont need magic files...

Please do not try to upload any full images with all files. It is against the forum rules to have images which include keys and could result in a ban.

yeah downloaded the tool bar but couldnt come up with anything.....would be able to ftp they files if i could get my laptop to connect to the dbox. i followed the exact instructions from settin up the laptop to speak to the dbox but nope wont effin do it.ill keep at it tho its gotta give sometime

Make sure the user name and password are correct as flashfxp will not connect to your box if they are wrong also make sure you are using a crossover cable.........

User Name : root
Password : commando
