Flashing a DM600-PVR without null modem cable

[Curious123]

Have not used telnet since the old Dos days,
would not know how to now, could not even see the program in my windows 7,
or is it through the windows command prompt?

But I did it see in the DCC program.

In Windows 7 you need to enable it i.e;

Control Panel > Programs > Turn Programs on or off > Telnet > tick.

Start > Run > telnet 192.168.x.xxx where x=ip address of your box.

That sound easy, I can see the program, do I put the tick in the (Telnet cient or Telnet Server)?

I think it's the server...

thats mr dudes image and the most stable one l have ever used m8

That Mr Dudes image is still a .nfi & not a .img.

that was from my harddrive backup but if u load from temp it has to be renamed to root.cramfs.img,, its been a year or two m8 , l think lm right tho

I might be wrong but I didn't think you could convert a .img file to .nfi file or vice versa for a dm600.

when doing a manual update it looks for a img , l just rename and it finds it

Ok, will have a look @ that option,
be good as a .img coz in the DCC program there is an (update flash-image) section & the only images it will take are (.img + .bin), not the .nfi.

But I must admit I am a bit worried about tricking the box with a renamed image.

Hi smirnoff been trying your method but can't seemto find a way round it in the Dream menu ;-(

Menu for (Setup):
1. service organising = bouquet
2. service searching = sat searching
3. system settings = time, a/v settings, keyboard settings, osd settings + lang
4. parental lock = parental lock
5. expert setup = communication, ngrab, remote control, factory reset, + a few (tick options) for zapping history & teletext caching ect.
6. timeshift = activation of timeshift.
7. blue-panel = start restart cam, enable auto-cam, camd setup, addons: (downloaded from gemini server), extras setup: automount, calender, alarm clock, epg setup, swap file, password, file browser, created backup + restore backup.

The only one that comes close, is (created + restore backup),
so in the restore backup I directed it to the /temp, but it did not see the .img image that was in there.
So went to the (created backup) & in there were some (tick boxes) for enigma + gemini settings, satelites.xml, adons + plugins/skins & chosen directory /temp, also the name of the backup file is (Gemini_backup.sh).
