before you reflashed did you perform a flash erase (a flash erase erases the corrupt image ) a flash erase should be done anytime a dm500 is being reflashed .a box such as a dm7020 when reflashed will simply overwrite the old image but a dm500 will not it needs a flash erase .use a null modem cable and perform a flash erase before flashing the box again and i recommend using an older version dreamup for flashing a dm500 such as dreamup 1.3.2.1

do you think this is a problem of corrupted image?

@smirnoff,

I will try that too and give you a feedback. Thanks

[domirudi]

i tried and ....nothing

[touchstek]

@smirnoff have tried the version 1.3.3.4 but no success, i am presently flashing with 1.3.3.5 which was in your original file sent

[touchstek]

No success too. What then is the problem ? Can someone advise me if this box is dead ?

I am still trying to know what happens when a box goes dead. Does the green light go off. ?
Would there be any connections to the box.. YES or NO
Please be of some help to me as this is very frustrating.

[touchstek]

That did not work too smirnoff. Too bad I can't figure out what this problem is

[plasterer]

Take the top off the box
And make sure the the connectors are all secure
As this will render the remote useless .

Hi,
Its problem in flash, try to replaced or make a jtag.

[domirudi]

I THINK THIS IS THE PROBLEM(FLASH).
How can I replace the flash?
If I use Jtag this means uploading db with new image from flash?
Why dream up said
ping result ok and the box is alive speaking with us

Have you tried null modem cable with ethernet lead together??

Perform flash ersae first and only takes a few minutes.

With just null cable takes ages and more of a chance of a bad flash.

I had similar problem and also found different version of Dreamup helped.

with this procedure my db is gone.

bye bye dreambox

with this procedure my db is gone.

bye bye dreambox

Only use a null modem cable. Get another image and use a different version of dreamup if your getting errors.

Null modem is the safest way to flash a dreambox and you can always recover it with a null modem as if it crashes during flashing with ethernet it will no be recoverable as there is no IP address to connect to.

[smirnoff_rules]

your sure u have null cable and not a RS232 cable ?


l had one years back and the null didnt want to know .. l installed network magic and it found the ip of the box and installed that in dreamup with the null connected and bingo updated over the internet cable not null cable

[domirudi]

i dont understand
my db is gone for two weeks
what is happening
i dont want to buy more db

yes i used null modem total and when i flashed it ,it said to me error flashed your box is unusable
