DM500 HD Flashing firmware by Browser

What you need to flash

You need the image file you want to flash. Image files have the extension *.nfi. You can't flash other

images like *.img files. Don't try it - it won't work.

You need either a DHCP server and a configured bootloader

You need a browser and a network cable. Connect your Dreambox to a switch/hub/router in your lokal LAN.

To flash a new image, you can use the second stage loader. It must be present and not broken.

The following steps assume you have a DHCP server.

If you don't have one, you have to setup
 an IP address (click) in the bootloader's serial setup.

Power down the Dreambox, either using "shutdown" and by switching off by the power switch. Standby is not enough!

(1.) Press and hold the power button.

(2.) Switch on your Dreambox.

(3.) Your Dreambox will get the next free DHCP IP address from your router.

Now, open a browser on your PC.

(1.) enter in the address line "http://ip/" .

(2.) on the bottom of the page, there's a link called "firmware upgrade". Click it.

On the next page, you can select the flash image you want to flash. be sure that it has the ".nfi" extension.

You can't flash other images (like .img)!

Click on "FLASH!" and wait. It might take some time to upload and flash the image.

Switch the box off again, and on again. The new image should be flashed and working.
