Guide: Flashing a Dreambox with Dreamup

[Blake Edmonds]

great mate thanks for the tips.
Dreambox on it's way! can't wait.

[ferchu]

Change the port!

[mohis]

When I connect power nothing happens?

Any idea...?

I have the same problem but no idea how to get it working

[bash]

initally when you load dream up, do you choose com1 or two from the drop down or do you leave them do you tick the box marked " used network"?

i load com1 m8 i just need help

[Devilfish]

You use which ever suits your needs. Most PCs only have one com port so select com1.

If you are only using a null modem cable then don't check the 'use network' box.

Hi when using dreamup there acouple of things you need to follow i have read through the guid on how to flash the box which is detailed with very good instructions.
the answer to the question is when using dreamup u can start by using com1 and untick use network.

The problem is not dreamup not working i'd the same problem before and it took me some time to flash my box. the problem is the type of computer your using the com ports are disabled which was the case with my pc and i didnt have enough knowledge on how to enable them, i tried several pcs but they all didnt help me as the com ports were all disabled untill when i used my old pc with com ports not disabled. Most the of the pcs these days come disabled you need to find some one with good pc skill to enable your com ports and use a latest version of dreamup.
Every thing should work out properly once you follow the instructions thanks.

If someone could please help me it would be appreciated. Just got a 500c from dvbseller... stright out of the box trying to follow these instructions but when I turn on the box nothing happens in DreamUP.

sig-gotyouth@hotmail.co.uk is my msn for any kind soul that wants to help me out...

There's not much else to say other than what's in the guide.

Turn the box off
Connect the null modem cable to the dreambox and com1 on your PC
Run Dreamup
Click connect
Turn on Dreambox

The progress bar will start to move on dreamup and it will upload the bootloader to the dreambox.

If nothing happens when you power on the box, you've either got a problem with the box or you are not using a null modem cable. A serial cable and an rs232 cable look the same but they are not a null modem cable.

Trial version of smartftp will still work for a limited period, or you could use a free client like filezilla.
