Basically I put latest lincsat image into box after recent keyrolls and everything was fine for a few days untill I lost all channels,epgs etc.I tried a rescan and noticed could'nt change cable provider in service scan.no channels found.Decided to flash another image but can't make a connection to pc the network settings seem screwed up.never had a problem before with flash fxp
tried ifa (not got null modem)which will connect do a bit(puts logo on screen) and then seems to stop after a few minutes -log file below

hi i had the same problem b4 but mine had kein system on it, so i had to go buy a null cable modem and finally got it to flash by a post that rodboy made and neathdrew sent which is

try this.....rodboys method

Turn off windows firewall
Disable wireless network connection

Rename image file mtd3.img and store it in C:\

set Local Area Connection network IP to 192.168.0.201
( IFA automatically sets dbox IP to 192.168.0.202 )
configure Local Area Connection link speed / duplex mode to 10Mbps / half duplex

open IFA
select image for flashing ( mtd3.img from C:\ )
select network device ( there should only be one available )
switch dbox on
press start
a dialogue box pops up
switch dbox off
click ok
switch box on
flashing should begin
progress is indicated on LCD ( IFA image on TV screen )
Fertig and smiley faces on LCD means success
disconnect network
off then on at the mains

The flash process takes three or four minutes.


hope this helps it did for me

sorted it.
thanks for your instructions lou.i didnt think the flash had worked at first because the dialogue box kept saying restart your dbox and i didn't get a smiley face but i disconnected the network lead and restarted and i had the new image and every thing worked again.
by the way i got away without using a null modem
