Flashing a Dbox2 using A Null Modem Cable and Hyper Terminal

[Slainte.Celt]

This is a great tut man. The crossover cable wouldnt work for me for some reason. I dont know much German but I'm pretty sure it told me I was using an active firewall which I definitely wasnt.

Posting now in an attempt to download the uboot file required. Having troubles.

Sorry I never joined these boards sooner.


Also, if laky pro was the best image last time round, is the new laky the best idea? Cheers

Hi, I followed all of the steps and when it had finished everything it said "copy to fash... done" on Hyperterminal. I then unplugged everything and on the LCD display on my Dbox2 it says "loading kernel" and it has been saying that for ages. What do I do???

[Slainte.Celt]

If after reboot its still saying that, try re-flashing the box with a freshly downloaded image. there may have been an issue with the image you flashed.

Hi can anyone help me. I followed all the instructions as per posted by Aftermath. I downloaded the file attached to the post u-boot.rar. and I inserted the image lincsat beta 7.25 fta. My box does not seem to work. Is there anything else I need to do apart from what I have already done. Any help would be much appreciated.

Hi I have tried to flash with h.p. but only got so far, when I enter erase 10020000 107fffff it comes up as done. then when i do the last bit cp.1 it goes to this => and nothing happens. The reason I am trying this is because I flashed a 2x image into a 1 chip Sagem dbox the box lights up but nothing boots. Can anyone help me PLLLLLLLease

this might sound stupid but are you typing cp.l and not cp.1 i.e l and not the number one.
also it takes about 2-5 mins to say flash done or whatever it is supposed to say.

thanks

Hi I have put the no1 in yes after cp.1 there is nothing for hours the box still won't boot. Now booted up using the null modem info fantastic.


Thanks to you stars

Hi
Got to this part and need some help what image do i use?? could any one give me a link to a working image...Thanks

NOW TO TRANSFER THE IMAGE.

On top of hyperterminal window click on Transfer then send file,
Choose your image (image without bootloader)
Then choose the "kermit" protocol.
Click on send.

you will get a screen something like this.
