    How has he locked my DM800HD?

    Hi, pretty much a complete newb here, I have my own dreambox but the one in question is my Dad's. Basically the guy he bought it from had pre loaded everything and put it on a server. There were some problems with the image and the guy tried and failed to sort it out then started ignoring emails. When the sub was up for renewal he was straight on the line for payment but my Dad was having none of it.

    I found a different server and the guy sent me a 24 hour test line. I tried to insert it with CCcam Lines Manager. The old line was clearly visible and i deleted it and put the new one but it wouldn't let me save it. This reminded me of a few weeks earlier when i tried to setup pc->tv streaming but couldn't save the new server on the box - it just kept reverting back.

    Somebody on another forum ran me through replacing the cccam config file with the one with the new c lines on via explorer but it wouldn't save - kept saying the memory is full. I tried to delete the old one then insert the new one but whenever i viewed the file it had reverted back to the old line. I deleted some non-essential plugins - picture viewer etc and tried again but still not enough memory. There's nothing been saved on the box like tv programs or anything.

    All i want to do is get him on another server for now - can worry about the image later. It's not denying me access via the user/pass route it just won't let me save anything new. Any ideas on where to go from here?

    That's one hell of an introduction.

        Hi

        He has most likely password protected it, best thing might be to flash a new image and start again.

        You seem to know your way around a dm so shouldnt be a problem for you to reflash it.

        Regards

          Yeah plenty of guides to help me flash an image ... Does it go on alongside the current image and if so how do i choose to load the new Image?

            The new image would usually replace the older image entirely

              If you can see the line that he's put in then you must be logging onto the box ok. He may well have set the file to read-only, if you use DCC then you should be able to browse to the folder /etc locate the file CCcam.cfg and check/change the permissions on the file.

                Ok so i've installed a new image - the Blackhole one - and i've managed to insert a 24 hour c line. Now whenever i try to alter the cccam stuff from the Dream Elite Cccam Main Info menu i'm getting Sorry. Connection to CCcam refused. Check that CCcam is running and your webinfo settings.

                Not really sure where to go from here?

                    And i've just noticed in DCC that there is no longer a router image there - just pc and dreambox connected. Is this what's wrong with it?

                    Cancel that i've got it showing up now i just searched for it and connected it in DCC

                    Still need to activate the c line if anyone can help
