DM900 do not boot or update image

Hi...

After flashing a new image on my Dm900HD i get stuck:

The image never end the boot...

When i go to the rescue mod and try to install a new image i get:

[*] Remounting '/dev/mmcblk0p3' to '/data'
[*] Mounting '/dev/mmcblk0p2' to '/mnt'
/mnt/etc/recovery/backup-hooks.d/fstab.sh: line 4: can't create /mnt/etc/enigma2/fstab.bak: Read-only file system
[*] Unmounting '/mnt'
umount: can't unmount /mnt: Device or resource busy

I follow some informations off another topic an i Telnet this commands:

1. wget http://www.dreamboxupdate.com/….14-r0-dm900-20170113.bin
2. flash-rescue zImage-rescue-3.14-r0-dm900-20170113.bin

After the second i get a:

Warning: Could not read CA!

Warning: Please consider updating your rescue loader!

And it starts to update rescue loader

I restar the box and everything is the same.... when i try to flash a new image i get the same error...

I already have done

Now when i repeat the command i get:

Warning: Please consider updating your rescue loader!

When i execute

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

reboot

It boots on rescue mode but i still can´t flash any image

Quote from master G

Is the dm900 original or sim 2.30 clone ? Are you flashing a compatible image ?

It is original.

This problem starts after i flash a Barry Allen backup....

The backup boot and when i choose "delete other languages" restart and never complete the boot again.

So i download a OpeAtv image, extract "po" folder and replace it. The image now boots but i can´t do anything... For example every time i try to install a plugin i get a error...

In rescue mode i have the same error i explain in first post...

I will describe the beginning of this.... maybe have importante information:

I have a DreamElite image on boot

I install BarryAllen

Install a OpenAtv image on BA and customize that image

I make a backup on BA (backup to backup option)

I flash that backup on falsh... and all this problem began...

It s possible the box is trying to boot in BA and not on the box flash?

When i check in image i can not find any ba folder (in media/ba)...

Before i read your answer i try the Online recovery on rescue mode. I get :

I would try flashing your image of choice now.

I try and i have the same problem:

[*] Remounting '/dev/mmcblk0p3' to '/data'
[*] Remounting '/dev/mmcblk0p2' to '/mnt'
/mnt/etc/recovery/backup-hooks.d/fstab.sh: line 4: can't create /mnt/etc/enigma2/fstab.bak: Read-only file system

Stupid question:

Should i try

wget http://dreamboxupdate.com/opendreambox/2.5/stable/images/dm900/zImage-rescue-3.14-r0-dm900-20171017.bin

flash-rescue zImage-rescue-3.14-r0-dm900-20171017.bin

On rescue menu or after image boot?

I try both ways...

I get forever this:

root@dm900:~# flash-rescue zImage-rescue-3.14-r0-dm900-20171017.bin

When i do it with image boot nothing happen´s... it stay´s on the same menu!!!

If i "manually" download rescue image from: http://dreamboxupdate.com/open…le/images/dm900/index.php

Is there any option to install that bin file it without rescue menu?

Thanks cyberworld23 and master G for your help!!! My box is alive again

I try again:

wget http://dreamboxupdate.com/opendreambox/2.5/stable/images/dm900/zImage-rescue-3.14-r0-dm900-20171017.bin

flash-rescue zImage-rescue-3.14-r0-dm900-20171017.bin

after boot in the image and not in rescue menu. It update and after that i was able to install a new image from the rescue menu.... the only thing i did different was flash a newenigma image (before i try DreamElite, openAtv and dreambox official)

Just another question:

- Can i install in flash a backup from BarryAllen? Or was that the mistake I made?

hi

you should not install BA on Dreamelite and The Others like newnigma

the best way is installing (unstable dmm originial) on flash and after that try installing the other images via BA

i will say again (Unstabel on DM Flash) like Cvs-oozoon

Display More

Thanks for your advice... im my Dm800Hd i use oozoon and never had any problem

OpenAtv it's also a bad choice, correct?

The backup that is in the box by default is reliable? Can i restore a complete image (plugins, settings, skins, etc) with that?

So @amirali.sh and any other´s who can give me a opinion....

At this moment i have a OpeanAtv 6.0 full personalize in my Dm900Hd flash

It is viable:

- Make a full backup with dback of my OpenAtv image

- Install on flash a empty Unstabel image

- Install BarryAllen

- On BarryAllen install a empty OpenAtv image

- Restore the backup of my actual image in the empty OpenAtv in BA...

Ca i do this? Or is risky and I can end up with problems in DM900Hd again?

Thanks!!!

hi again

dear fmoreira you cant use dbackup in ATV because its debian package and didnt recognize by ATV

and i think there is no dbackup for OE2.0 nowadays

its better to use with internal (backup and restore) under the menu ( if ihave not make a mistake its there)

other steps are correct as you said

Display More

I ask about dbackup because it cames by default as a plugin in OpenAtv image!!!

I will try my steps replacing dbackup for the default backup function.... With that i will have a full backup of my image (plugins, cam´s, skin settings, etc)?

Thanks again!!

Quote from master G

I used BackupSuite on openatv.

To make a backup on a USB stick, you’ll have to create 1 file on it (it's a kind off precaution for letting BackupSuite use this USB stick). So In the root / of the stick there should be 1 file named backupstick.txt or backupstick.

Can I use the box Hdd instead?
