Bricked box

[teebe]

Hi,

DM800HD just re-flashed successfully (?) it wont boot anymore, got this lines in putty:

(c) 2007,2008 Dream Multimedia GmbH. All rights reserved.
Dreambox DM800
FIRST STAGE 1.00 {BO23456}

2ND STAGE OK, build #76 (20100419)

0.000 - BCM board setup
{00000126,00000126,00000125,00000124,00000123,

ofcourse it cannot be re-flashed or accessed in any way.
JTAG, bootloader... please advice

When you power the box on, Press and hold the power button and see if an IP address pop-up, Then flash via the web panel

try what flip flop says above ,you could also try flashing the old fashioned way with dreamup and null modem cable .of it will take about 45 minutes to flash it that way but it usually gives a good reult.

Dear both,
it does not respond to power switch and does not enter into stopmode and also dreamup 1321 does not sense it.
Found a patched dreamup version and succeed flashing but ends with CRC error.
Any suggestion?

dreamup 1.3.2.1 is an older version try 1.3.3.4 ,i had to download a few versions before one worked but it worked in the end.

Thanks, actually my problem is the box not dreamup. Can some one tell me what image to flash, being it a clone and apparently with 2nd stage #76?
Thank you

go to the dl section and dl a file called forced flash, use that dreamup and flash bl 72 only

Thanks, flashing with dreamup in this order:
- ssl76C_20100909 (boot loader #76)
- sim201e-76-gp5.00-OE1.6-dm800-20100429 (example)
gives:

2ND STAGE OK, build #76 (20100419)

0.007 - fp init
0.008 - ca init
SW != 9000
error in receive

NO CONFIGURATION DATA PRESENT. STOP.
* ERR01: NO CA FOUND

This error is new.
Try to flash again from STOP, no change.
Any suggestion?

I have made a tut a while back, have a look for it that will get u workin

[teebe]

Thanks for suggestion, i have already noticed dreamup has its own bl (#65) that allows at least to enter stop mode, besides the CA error prompted in dreamup 1334.
I am trying to load images and bl on top without powering off in procedure, trying various combination of bl #76, #76A and pli, gemini, etc etc but the situation does not improve, i am wandering if i can purchase the original sim or a better than the one delivered (of which i can't know the version).
The original bl was #75, the image gemini, that's all i know for sure.
The actual situation is box stops in image load, both 1st and 2nd stage boot apparently succeeds.
Questions:
is the original sim a valid choice and where to find,
there is a better choice for clone boxes regarding sim?
Thanks
Teebe

teebe,
The first thing to find out is which sim you have, try here
UBB Message - Dreambox Made in China OEM Forum
hopefully you will be able to recognise your sim.

The guy who runs that part of the forum is toysoft anf he has developed a neat program that can convert your sim to a better version (hopefully). Look through the posts to get his download DM_Sims_v0.4.rar
If you ahave access to a 'WINDOWS' based sim card reader you may be able to update your sim card and then flash a later version to your box.
I have had help from toysoft - he is very good- and have updated my sim - works well
