How to achieve a factory reset of an original Dreambox 800 HD that does not reboot ?

Compo,

Thanks for your detailed advices: it is so useful.

I tried:

First: using another power supply, result negative. No rebooting.

Second: removing the Peritel cable connecting the box to my cathodic Philips large screen TV: result negative. No rebooting.

I am not good at soldering.

The box worked perfectly well until the streaming provider reprogramed the box for CCcam one day testing.

My question: is there a way for a true specialist to try penetrate the box with internet and act as a surgeon?

Panda555,

Thank you for your suggestion. I tried 7 images including two used in the past that were in my Dreambox 800HD files.

Regarding servicing, I have no idea whom to send it yo? I am right now in Spain. If you know someone capable to repair it, I am interested to contact him.

Compo,

Yes , that is what I did.

thanks dvld2,

Let me be accurate regarding internet connection:

1- When I insert the power supply plug, the ethernet plug starts flashing both colors: yellow and green, led starts flashing red and on the box screen, message: Dream Multimedia. The tv screen opens with a V+ Black Hole 2.1.7 http://www.vuplus-community.net purple image,

2 -10 seconds after, everything stops during 15 seconds: only internet plug yellow, non led light , TV screen is black

3 - The ethernet plug starts flashing both colors: yellow and green, led starts flashing red and on the box screen, message: Dream Multimedia booting... . The tv screen opens with a V+ Black Hole 2.1.7 http://www.vuplus-community.net booting ...blue image,

When I open DDC with the right parameters, There is non connexion with the box and a message: "error 10057 on functioning Send Socket is not connected."

that is the detailed analytic and documented story

Thanks a lot for you goodwill. I appreciate it very much. It is good to be good!

if you got internet connection

and you say CCcam config is the problem

using DCC

copy CCcam.cfg found in /etc/ to your desktop so you can allways use it again

save anything else you think you may need

and delete CCcam

/usr/bin/CCcam ( whatever number )

if you have HDD disable it

if you have USB remove it

and see if it starts

but i think your problem is the SKIN your using

if your brave id delete any skin you installed ( YOU INSTALLED ) ( /usr/share/enigma2/ ) ( whatever name )

you can try and see if it kicks in

maybe try this first

telnet

init 4 && opkg update && opkg upgrade && init 6

the power supply problem

would let you boot

but you would have no signal on sats from my experience

DM800 Hd or se

there is not much space after image and skin with cams and a few plugins

there is not much left for it to do it's thing

anything you add will make it unstable and risk of not booting up

space is at a premium on dm800

technodvl2,

Thanks for your precious information.

Among my seven image flashing negative experiences, there was an image recommended by a member: OpenPli-2.1-beta-dm800-20140510.nfi

The sole image that enabled at least the generation of the images presented in my detailed analytic and documented story was suggested by teak-won-do:

newenigma2-ipk-weekly-dm800-06_09_2020.nfi. With all 5 others, including my own two ones, no image at all appeared on the TV screen.

So your point on size makes sense.

What is the full nfi address of the OpenPli you recommend, if you still recommend it.

Thanks again

no matter what you do now

everything you had inside your box is lost

the only option you got is to re-flash with new image

i wouldn't use blackhole it's one of the largest images you can get

and openpli is one of the smallest ( even though it's not supported by openpli )

good luck

you learn by messing up

Teak-won-do,

Il shall explore it and let you know any progress in that direction.

Emo,

I appreciate very much your attention and support.

Could you give me the *.nfi image address of such a bad sector recovery? I have no idea where to find one.

Flash image with bad sector recovery. Then reboot box and flash image normaly again.

if during boot the box still restart infinitely, then replace the 4 big capacitors (you could first remove the tuner board, hdd if any, anything connected to the USB, and any paytv smartcards on frontpanel. If box boot properly then its definitely the 4 big capacitors to be replaced with 105’ ones if possible from Rubycon for quality).

Emo,

thanks

I am not a programmer neither technician. I can operate. I do not have the slightest idea of what is BSR.

Could tell me practically the list of operations and their precise sequence to execute to implement your advices.

Thanks a lot.

The BSR is an option to activate in the BIOS or thru the JapharFlasher/DreamUp, while you flash a nfi image file.
