  • great! 10x mate :)


    but for me still remains a question: in case of loss of power during flash update of a DM, the consequences are similar to a BIOS flashing of a PC?
    permanent damage can occur?


    thank you

    LARGE written sentences do not correspond the netiquette purely and will be considered as roar. Do not surprise then, if someone roars back.

  • Thank you DreamSat2 for a superb step by step tutorial.


    If I can get it right - then there is really nothing to it !

  • Hi,
    Can you please help me?
    I received my new DM800 today and I want to flash it with Gemini.
    I used DreamUp V1.3.3.0.
    After connecting the box, I clicked on Flash and choosed the image file.
    Log pane is saying : Calculating checksum...
    This lasted at least 30mns.
    I stopped it and restarted from scratch : same as before =>Calculating checksum... for hours.


    Can someone help me please?


    Thanks

  • I got same problem like you thoura with my DM800 when i tried the Dreamup using the RS232 cable or the lan connection.


    i advice you to make the traditional way for DM800 :


    1- activate DHCP server in your router or any server


    2-plug the power and keep pressing the power boton till the box gets and IP and writes STOP.


    3- you go back to your PC and open your browser and point it to the IP of the DM800


    click on the flash link and put the image that you like to use.


    good luck :404:

  • Hi dreamsat2 .
    I followed your step by step explanation of using universal dreamup. all was going well until it was loading the image after about 1 minute it come up with" error upload aborted " , I tried few diffferent images and still with same error.
    my dreambox 500s when I plug the power has only green light on the front and doesn't display any tv out.
    anyone with any suggestions.

    That's really the best way to flash your DM800 (not sure about other models). No NULL MODEM CABLE and no DREAMUP soft is needed!


    Dreamup soft works fine with old images up to 31 MB in size. With newer versions i always get "file too big!" error message
