### **Installation Steps**


**1. Download the CoreELEC Image**

* Get the correct `.img.gz` file from the Dream Elite server:

``` https://images.dream-elite.net…dex.php?dir=DREAMONE/old/

```


**2. Prepare Your SD Card**

* Insert the SD card into your computer.

* Open your flashing tool (Balena Etcher or LibreELEC Creator).

* Select the downloaded `.img.gz` file and choose your SD card as the target.

* Start the flashing process. This will erase all data on the card.


**3. Boot into CoreELEC**

* Once flashing is complete, insert the SD card into the Dreambox One's card reader.

* Power on the device. It will automatically boot from the SD card into CoreELEC.

* **Note:** The first boot will take several minutes and may include an automatic restart.


**4. You're Ready!**

* After setup, you can begin using CoreELEC and Kodi.

* Bluetooth remotes are typically detected and paired automatically.

### **Switching Back to DreamOS (Enigma2)**

To return to the default DreamOS:

1. In CoreELEC, open the **Shutdown Menu** (top-left corner).

2. Select **Restart** or **Shut Down**.

3. Once the Dreambox Two is off, remove the SD card.

4. Turn the device back on using the remote or the power button—it will now boot into DreamOS.

**Summary:** This guide explains how to install CoreELEC onto an SD card to run Kodi on a Dreambox One. The process involves downloading the system image, flashing it to an SD card, and booting from it. You can easily switch back to the original DreamOS by removing the SD card and rebooting.

  • I successfully flashed coreelec to a sd card, ive installed headend as i want to use the dreambox tuners for tv via correelec. I go through the process of using the wizard to set it up through a web browser, it recognises the tuner as it lists it on the left hand side, when it goes to scan transponders it doesn't find anything, i am using a unicable lnb for 28.2 and i have configured the lnb settings, i have also ammended the sat transponder file to make sure the transponders to make sure they are current.. Any advice?

    Thanks Richard

  • Hi I could burn CoreElec and Librelec to Dreambox one to run Kodi. It works, but when I try to install IPTV I found problems:


    - In Librelec I could install IPTV Simple Client, but when I set the IPTV list (it works on PC), it does not star to seek for channels.

    - Also, I tryed to install IPTV Recorder, but no way to do this...


    Any one with this problem?? I want to run Kodi with IPTV Recorder on my dreambox one to finish problems with IPTV recording channels of all the images I´ve tested.
