How to guide: Flashing a Dreambox DM500S or DM600 in less than 2 mins

[Cheflen]

Still waiting for flashing info?

I tried this and it didn't work, I have a blue screen before this it was screeching static, and now nothing. I doesn't seem to even respond to the remote you only hear the clicking sound when you try the reset button.

Is this for a hard reset ?

Is this for a hard reset ?

..yes, but you will need the firmware you intend to flash

This comes very handy for me.

flashing lights

you know if you logon to router and look at client list before turning on box then refresh after you can see which ip is assigned and just browse to it

save trying to count leds

Can't belive you didn' found an utility called "FlashWizard"; is fast indeed, reliable, tested by me and used many times (after headackes due to using Dreamup); works by LAN; you can fast backup your image first and flash another in a couple of minutes. First set connection param (IP, user, passw); use fixed IP in your DM as I did.
Tested on my DM500-s (genuine).

FLASHWIZARD_6_3.zip

PM: Italian made. Unzip, open .exe file; don't need install.
Can't be anything faster in my opinion.
Hope it helps!

"FlashWizard"

Hi, I am am newbe but I think null modem cable route is easier. If "FlashWizard" method is easier somebody should do a step by step guide please.

[manutd4life]

got to the flash page, put the nfi file in and pressed flash, nothing is happening, do i need to put a different cable in or just do it from the router?

Which are the user and password?

[namorico]

I could enter the Enigma Web Interface.
How can I upload the file to unlock Sky Germany?
Where can I got this file?
Thank you.
