dm500 clone newbie images

[SchoonUK]

Hello

I have tried to use DreamUP with no luck getting no responce back at all, However i am using a USB to Serial Convertor, Going to try tomorrow with a actual COM port.

As always i should read before storming in and flashing with any image that i can get my hands on,

Thanks

If you got stuck with DreamUP and the DB is locked on the green, try flashing the box with DreamUP v. 1.3.3.4, it's for the DB 500 clone

Hello

Tried with 1.3.3.4 and still no Joy, Im starting to think i have bombed my box but i can still see the splash logo is this the case when you bomb a box ?.

Thanks

Hello All... Again

Turns out i am a complete dick and the cable I was using was not nulled.

Anyway now that i am using a nulled modem cable i can get a response form the box but i wanted to make sure that when I flash it now i am using the correct img etc.

The ones on this thread are all options to me but can anyone recommend the best for me to use. ??

Thanks

Just used the Gemini 4.2 with my DM500 - works great.
Just one question: I know it's a clone but how can I tell if it is a C or an S version?

[SchoonUK]

If it recives a signal when plugged into a Satailte its the S version, The C version is only for Cable.

Tnx fore upload.

That's nice compilation.

hi guys i am new to the dreambox world and i have complied this thread to help others newbies, with tools and safe dm500 clone images.

my dreambox is set up via laptop/ router /dreambox. to config this network i used dream control centre v.2.96 make sure dhcp is enabled on your dreambox receiver via the network ,or communication settings, depending which firmware you have currently installed

then press the search buttons on the dream control centre page this will assign the ips for you or if you already know the ip of your router and dreambox simply enter the ip of your router and dreambox into the white areas,but you will have to deselect dhcp on your dreambox receiver settings and save then press reconnect on the dcc page

example of dream control centre:
this computer xxx.xxx.x.x
dreambox xxx.xxx.x.x
router xxx.xxx.x.x
the last number of each ip should be different

on your dreambox receiver network settings
ip :xxx.xxx.x.x
netmask :255.xxx.xxx.x
type:lan
nameserver: ip of router
gateway:ip of router

to setup ngrab server on your dreambox receiver enter the same ip as this computer on dream control centre i.e
xxx.xxx.x.1 ,then press blue button to decect mac address,port will be 4000
you will then will have to create a new folder on your laptop so that recorded files can go.

i did this by creating a new folder in documents libary i.e dreambox folder open the new folder and create another new folder i.e recordings
so it will be somethinmg like this
documents/dreambox folder/recordings.

the software you need on your laptop is ngrablite once installed open the software,right click the green icon in
task bar right hand corner of desktop page,click settings and the folder you created earlier for your recording to go is your target folder then press ok.

to flash/ patch /upgrade firmware i used flashwizard pro 6.3
click config and utilities enter dreambox ip into ip underneath dreambox#1 then select install firware into flash memory(YOUR DREAMBOX SHOULD BE TURNED ON NOT STANDBY)
find the firmware file it will be a .img file on your laptop/pc. it will be in downloads open the rar file to show .img file
then select yes to upgrade it will state the firmware was successfully terminated.

please make a note how to access the language menu prior to flash as some will start up in arabic and you will have to find and language menu to change to english



cheers, hope this helps
