Save your bouquets file and services to your pc using ftp, then put the new image into tmp folder (make sure you have the correct one, either 1x or 2x)
To flash an image, go into:
dbox
service
image upgrade
Flash One partition
Flash WITHOUT Bootloader

Make sure you select flash without bootloader mate.
Also if you want more than FTA, you'll need a full image, which you should be able to find on the chatterbox toolbar. Hope this helps

tried this but is still boots with the sportster on start up and all channels FTA. All i did last night was disconnect the box from the mains and relocated in the room. Then that was it all channels gone
When you say if I want more than FTA then i will need the FULL IMAGE - Well I did have all the channels until i disconnected the box from mains for 5 minutes and then they all went. I do not understand it. I have tried tranferring all the NEw Fix files into VAR/KEYS and rebooted and still nothing.

You will need to reflash the box with a program called IFA.

Got some calls from some buddies. Looks like it is going down up and down the country. They are one step ahead it looks like.

If you had a power cut whilst flashing then the only way now is to use IFA image flashing assistant, you will need a cross over ethernet cable and ideally a null modem cable, you will then be able to flash your box again.

Thanks for that i have IFA on my PC. Any ideas where i can get a good working image from?? Any links?....I had Sportster on it before
Also i thought I would only need a NULL MODEM CABLE to use IFA. ??..

Also it looks like the keys been rolled getting alot of calls.
thanks

You mainly need a cross over Ethernet cable a null modem cable is not needed but an advantage as it logs whats happing, and you can use the log if you have any problems.

Ok i have tried this and the IFA screen just reads "WAITING FOR DBOX START" when the flashing is started. It looks like it is not recognising that the DBOX is on.........need some help on this.
IS the Waiting for Dbox to stat normal?

[Derekwd]

Unplug the dbox from the mains, run ifa, choose your image to flash off your pc,click start,then click ok in the box that opens on your pc, then plug dbox into mains

Plug the box in after you see that message.
