Help to flash

[Bann32]

I have a R6 network cable (no DHCP Server), it seems my DM800SE doesnt have a comm/rs232 port am I able to flash/update my DM800 or do I need a different cable? or setting up a DHCP Server is a must?

EDIT: Its ok, I need to get an a to b usb cable, I think

Ok how do I tell which DM800SE, I know its a sim2 but thats all

None of them have a comms port mate, you need to attach it to your router then it will be networked with its own IP address, you then flash fw thru a web browser,
Look in the sticky section for "flashing dm800 " , its same method for SE,
If you have sim2, then the fw /image must be sim2 compatable

As in your edit , you can use the mini USB connection, but most peeps use the web interface method I described above

Thanks for the reply, It just seems there are several sim2 with different numbers on the end.

Is there one that someone would care to recommend

[toonarmy9752]

is the numbering on the end of the sim2 files a version number and does the the higher number mean a later version?

It decides which bootloader you use unless the image comes with it -

ssl82 both enigma2 and drivers must be patched
ssl84 allows you to use original drivers

in the end I used - BACKUP DM800se SIM210 SSL84b - Patched by riyaad

As suggested at the end of this thread:
