issue flashing dm800hd

[green_sat]

I have IP address for my box and the network is set up.
when I access through the browser I am not getting option to flash with image. The page I am getting is black with menu options on the top Television, radio, Movies, ....etc
can I flash by ftp the image into the temp directory and manually upgrade!!!

Many Thanks for any assistance

you need to put box into flash mode , remove power , wait 30 seconds , apply power whilst holding on/off button in , some text should appear on led screen "stop , http mode" or somethin along them lines

As above mate
All your doing is connecting through the browser
do as above and it will take you to the flash page.......Paul

I have tried the above but I keep getting dhcp above the stop.
also it appears that at this point my wireless bridge is also not powered up?
help!!

Can you not move the box to near your router and try and update it via a fixed wired connection i.e. without the wireless bridge? I always thought that when updating firmware it's better to do it via a fixed connection rather than wifi.

I have wifi on one box and i can't flash it this way as it doesn't see the wifi till you have an image on it, so as has been said you really need to take it near your router and flash it with a cable conected to your router.

does it have gemini on it?

you need to flash via dreamup and null cable

It has enigam2 with sim201 76a.

Can I not just just flash it from the image I have in the tmp directory

without wishing to sound like an arse mate, you have been told 3 times now how to fix this but you still insist on trying it your way.

do it either via null modem and DreamUp or via a hardwired Ethernet cable..

if you ask for help mate, its generally best to take it rather ignoring it and trying to find your own way

All the help is appreciated I am not ignoring it's just that I thought I am overlooking something , I don't have a null cable but i am sure I do have ethernet so I will try that...
Fingers crossed..

a null modem cable with cost you ?5 on ebay , an Ethernet cable even less..

these boxes require the correct equipment, you cant just gash it and hope for the best..

as i say to a lot of people.. these boxes are in essence a mini PC using Linux OS with an attached Sat / Cable / DVBT tuner.. you have to do things the correct way
