How to update firmware DM 500HD via mini-usb

[mcqueeen]

Hi. I have a Dream 500hd clone and updated the ssl and image via webupdate. This seemed to work out well, but when I turn on the box I get no picture.

I tried to connect to it again but the box doesn't get an ip. So I tried via usb-cable and Windows 7 doesn't recognize the box. It won't accept the drivers I have downloaded (ipk-file) and I am stuck.

Help anyone?

I need some help with my dm 500HD too, it made an update and now it won't start. I try to connect it to my pc and flash the image again but I need the drivers to connect it because the pc doesn't recognize it. Please help me.

I will try this (usb), because the update via browser doesn't work in my dreambox 500hd. I shut the power down , and shut it up again while pressing the front button for 30sec but nothing happens. The browser cannot access the dreambox
