DREAMBOX dm500s problem flash

[securityforce999]

Anyone having a 'Lock-bit error' on a DM500S, try this:
(worked for me);

In Dreamup, after your box has been connected, powered up & acknowledged, click FLASH (not flash erase).

Select your image file.

A pop-up window will ask if you 'wish to carry out a flash-erase also' - Click 'NO'.

Your box will (should) now flash the image - you will notice it will automatically carry out a 'flash-erase' in the process anyway, then boot up the image you just flashed.

Hope that helps ;-)

Similar problem maybe.

As a newbi I had a similar issue, what I did I checked the communication between my pc and dreambox, and then I deleted my dreamup and installed again and it worked for me. I did the flash erease yes and then reload the image with flash erease not. That is all.

Try the oldest version of Dreamup you can find and flash this to your box. After flashing the erase image you then need to flash your image of choice.

Most likely these errors are caused by using a USB to Serial converter. Try using a PCI to Serial card in a desktop PC instead. Should be no further issue using dreamup.
