    Try this


    To fix this you need a SD-Card labled "DREAMBOOT" with first partition in FAT format.


    When you plug this in the u-boot should stop before the bootlogo.... then the crash doesn't occur.


    Then connect with putty and try "run recovery_from_flash" to start recovery mode.

    Step 1: Get a SD-Memorycard and put into your computer.


    Step2: When asked by Windows choose format, and choose format "Fat" not Fat32!!!


    Step3: After format is finnished right click with your mouse on the SD Card device icon and cange label of the SD Card to DREAMBOOT


    Step4: Now put the card in to the SD Card slot of your DM One UHD and power up.


    Step5: Sometimes you get just a black screen and sometimes you get an option menu on your TV Screen.


    Step6: Now connect with Putty choose Serial connection to your DM One UHD and if asked login with root then type without the run recovery_from_flash


    This should clear your fault flash and put the DM One UHD into Recover Mode and you can flash new image from your Web Browser.

  • this not connect to putty by rs232(mini usb).

    It does not boot via SD card and only flashes red. Which parts are likely to be damaged if not connected?

    I was not clear about the putty part so sorry about that.


    You should connect through com port (Serial) not (Telnet).


    Correct com port number can be found in Windows, Right Click "My Computer" and choose property, then choose Device Manager

    Go to Comports and find the one for the mini usb.


    Use that to connect with putty and follow step 6 above

  • Thanks for your reply dear friend

    I know this, but this device, while it recognizes the port com but doesn't log, I'm sure I log on to other devices but I don't see the log on this device. There is absolutely no connection between the machine and Putty

    Before starting to go so drastic away i would suggest you ask for help over at https://dreambox.de/board/


    Its mostley German language but if you ask questions in English they usaly give you an answer

    It must be possible to fix this, its not the embedded IC Flash thats borken its the partition table


    Try that first before start fiddeling with the hardware ;)

  • Yes, here it was, but I didn't get the right answer. There is also a suggested Uboot method but I do not know how. I also checked that the Uboot can fix the Cool Down device, but it's not running on the Dreambox.
