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.

thanks

i have the same problem
error resetting lockbits
any help please

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.

dm500 lock bits error??????
solution.... Reball PROC.....!!!!!

[miguelgr00]

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.

[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 ;-)

After running this exe program, it tries to connect to the internet - only my firewall stopped it?
If its a proper patch (with nothing hidden), it should have no reason to connect to the internet - sameway dreamup works without needing an internet connection?

I might be a newbie here, but I'm sure as hell not 'wet behind the ears' and have to ask the question WHY it wants to connect?!
Such programs make me damn suspicious.

My DM500s says:
Unable to read configuration data

--- Device Con Power-On Test DevProgram exception
SRR0=8x SRR1=8x
Die ... :-(

After flash with DreamUp

If you see a DreamUp message like "found no valid JFFS2 in image" then it means you're flashing an image like Commando 14.6 that has had the /var_init folder in the root SquashFS partition surgically removed to save space in /var

Don't press the <Flash erase> button, just press <Flash>

i have prob with DM500 it does not respond to the remote control and no image

Not much of an explanation of your problem m8, be more specific. Try another remote or reflashing a new image.
