3. Access Web Interface: Enter this IP address (or http://dreamtwo) into a web browser on a computer connected to the same network.
4. Upload Firmware:
   • Click the "Firmware" button.
   • Click "Browse" and select your downloaded image file.
   • Crucial: Ensure the "Backup and Restore Settings" options are unchecked.
   • Click "Go!" to start the flash process.
5. Complete & Reboot: After a "Finished successfully" message, click "Click here to reboot." The receiver will restart with the new image.

Alternative: Rescue Mode via Telnet

If the standard method fails, you can force Rescue Mode:

1. Connect via Telnet (e.g., using PuTTY).
2. Enter these two commands sequentially:text
   Code

   echo "rescue" >> /proc/stb/fp/boot_mode
   reboot

   
   

3. After the reboot, the IP will appear on screen. Continue the process from Step 3 above.
