    PLEAAAAAAAASE HELP ... URGENT ... I TRIED EVERYTHING !!!

    Hello All
    My Name Is Michael ... I'm from Jordan ... I have a problem with my dreambox it has been bugging me for like a month please help me with any ideas you may think of
    I bought a DM500s with an gemini on it and also a cam (I don't remember what kind of cam maybe mgcamd or newcamd ...
    I bought a six month subscription for cardsharing with the dreambox (that's the way it's done around here) and now it's lost , but the vendor is out of country and I'll have to wait for like 2 weeks (no champions league )to get my subscription back !!!)) , so one day the dreambox freezes at startup on that GP screen and never proceeded .
    So by using dreamup and my null modem cable I was able to flash a new software and everything went back to normal ... except that whatever emu I install doesn't work and encrypted channels don't get decrypted , since that config file is missing .
    but ...
    what I need help with , is that I backed up my corrupted image before I flashed a new one ... it's extension is img , and by using dcc I was able to get a root.cramfs version of it ... so IS THERE ANY WAY IN HELL I can extract files from that image using PC ? btw as you already know , when the dreambox is stuck on GP screen no FTP connection can be made, so dcc doesn't connect when I flash the old image ...the only thing i can do next is flash a clean image using dreamup + null modem cable .
    The only improvement I made is that while having a clean image on dreambox , I opened dcc and flashed the old one on it ... for 1 time out of like 20 ... I was able to see 2 bin folders , 2 var volders ... and so on ... but when I tried to copy what I want it said ftp disconnected and no matter how many times I tried to get back to that point , I never saw those files again, what happens is flash erase (connection stays) ... then copy old image to flash (connection stays) ... then booting the old image (connection ends) ... and I still can't get my files from the old image .
    If ANYBODY , ANY MEMBER , ANY ADMIN , ANY PERSON has an idea on one of the following ... please help and you'll have my thanks for ever !!! :
    1-getting files from dreambox using null modem cable (since when I flash the old image , only serial connection works)
    2-extracting files from the image as it as on PC either the img files or the root.cramfs file
    3-somehow flashing 2 images on dreambox and mounting one to use it for FTP connection and the other is the old one that I want to get my files from .
    4-fixing the corrupted image
    5-ANY IDEA THAT MAY HELP

    In the end I wanna thank everybody who may wanna help me here and wanna thank you for reading this very long post ... looking forward to hearing your ideas .
    Thanks in advance folks

      the img files can be extracted using winrar, open with that.

      Also what you need to do is find config file and backup and then restore it. Also using flashwizard you can flash via the network its not highly recomended but alot faster

          The image you have is not important...unless it's a clone...then you have to be careful not to use a Gemini image with clone killer.

          - Gemini no longer have SoftCams on their download server.

          - So download a clone safe version of Gemini install it via null modem/dreamup.

          - Manually download and install the softcam you require.

          The only issue you have is that you have lost your softcam config file which contains your cline, unfortunately you will have to contact your CS provider to obtain your CS details...then you can FTP them back to the box on the new image.

          Always the danger of using pay servers...they maight disappear over night....and you've just paid 6 months upfront...

              thanks mate
              but I'm kinda noobish , what is a clone and if my old image was a clone what should I do ?
              TOTALLY agree on the paid servers ... but it's the only way :/ I should've backed up the image before it got corrupted though ...
