[DM500S] Bluepanel doesn't load on Gemini 4.3.1

[nafan]

Hello,

I've updated my DM500S with Gemini 4.3.1 image.

I can't get Blue Panel... it just shows a black screen for a couple of seconds, and come back on the previous channel...

Anyone has an idea ?

Thanks !

Aye, get rid of it and install Nabilosat 0.8 MAXVAR

It might be a bad flash mate, did you scrub the entire box before flashing the image?

Hi

What did you use to flash new image ?. try using FLASHWIZARD_6_3. It works fine for me on my Dreambox 7000 allthough my image is gemini 4.3

Oh, I've just "FTP'ed" image to /tmp and renamed it to root.cramfs
Nothing else...

I'm going to try Nabilo next week.

Just want to get Gemini Blue Panel working before that !

Ouch, not the best way to do it mate.

The very best way is to open a telnet session and erase your image then upload your new one.

Nabilosat has all the blue panel stuff aswell mate, it's an amazing image, the best there is if u ask me.

Telnet commands to erase and flash a new image...

cd /var/tmp - change to the temp directory on your dreambox
eraseall /dev/mtd/3 && cp backup.img /dev/mtd/3 - erases everything then copies your image into the same place
reboot - reboots dreambox

Thank you for your help.

I'm going to try to reflash with Gemini 4.3.1 using telnet commands just now.

Then I'll try Nabilo, which seems to be a very appreciated image.

I'll give some news in a while !

[nafan]

Ok, just rebooted the DM500S.

It's scanning transponders...

The blue panel can disappear if you have copied your own /enigma folder to /var/tuxbox/config.

There are files in the /resources folder that messes this up.

You could have tried a factory reset and see if it came up then.

[nafan]

Oh, it had never worked on my box (I'm a newbie in Sat Boxes, even if I manage Unix servers at work...)

The scan is completed.

And the Blue Panel WORKS ! It was just an erasing issue...

Many thanks to you.

[C64]

Glad it worked out for you mate.

This will backup your image and place it in your TMP folder, remember to copy it from tmp to your PC.

cat /dev/mtd/3 > /var/tmp/backup.img

pleased u got it working m8 and its always best to use dreamup for flashing the boxes.

also agree with witchy that nabilo is a corka image and has probably one of the best add-on servers.....edg nemesis is also a good image

[C64]

I don't rate Dreamup at all mate, you can't beat a good old fashioned Telnet session, Dreamup is ok if you aren't sure how to Telnet though.

[nafan]

Ok, I prefer a good old Telnet session too.

Dreamup is a NullModem wired solution, isn't it ? If so, I can't use it because none of my computers have a serial port...

This will backup your image and place it in your TMP folder, remember to copy it from tmp to your PC.

cat /dev/mtd/3 > /var/tmp/backup.img

Does it dump all memory range (ie settings / plugins / etc) ?
