Try different version of dreamup. Also try another image.

Is it just a standard dm500s not the + version

Hi

Good signs are dream up is connecting and speaking to box, I woudnt try the erase image, I would just try and do an erase from dream up first and once the first erase has been succesful take it from there.

Try the dm500 patched ver of dreamup I included in my upload..

Hey thats the fun of these boxes, you lose sleep over it and pull your hair out too curse and mumble but once successful...... its all been worth it .

Hope thats gonna be you with a smile on your face in a bit.

Guess what the box is here :-), now it flashes pli jade to the box with no issues but then does this error

memCRC32 from box not equal local CRC32!

Any solutions?

This means that the CRC check on the image you uploaded has failed. Basically CRC is a cyclic redundancy check. If the CRC on the image that has been transferred to the box doesnt match the images original CRC, then the image has been been corrupted during the upload.
You need to verify your null modem cable is definitely good, also try using a different PC. if the issue continues with a known good cable and different PC you may have a hardware issue with the reciever.
Or try a different image that you kmow is working fine
Cheers

Yeah i know my cable is fine, works on my other box, so does my image... but keep getting the same error, even when uploading the erase.img... any ideas?
