Mate if you've purchased it off ebay its very probable that its a clone. Do not , and i mean do not update it to 1.2.61 as it will install a bomb on it. It will damage the bootloader and the box will be useless. If you have installed 1.2.61 it won't brick it straight away, its a time bomb, it will wait for a while and then brick it when its being used. I suggest if its still working that you run the rescue usb image before your box is permanently damaged.

Do you have the original carton the box came in? Have a look on the top of it, a lot of the boxes the clones come in have a spelling mistake which is being covered up by a lot of ebay sellers.

The spelling of alien will be spelt as ALEIN not ALIEN. If that's the case, if its a recent purchase get in touch with PayPal and start a claim for being sent a counterfeit receiver. The manual will also be of poor quality with a lot of the pages looking washed out.

Trust me if its a clone it will eventually get bricked by the bomb in the latest piece of software. Amiko are being more ruthless than Dream multimedia were a few years back with the DM500.

Cyber Hacks listings are near enough the same as Azuril, a known clone seller on ebay, its a clone mate, no doubt about it.

Hey Nano

just realised my alien is a clone had the box 6 months and have really enjoyed it, great box. Where do you get the usb rescue image from. Very rarely go into spark but may have upgraded it to 1.2.61 not sure how long its been out and want to be on the safe side.

Just had a look at my Spark version and its 1.2.60 is this alright, does it have the timebomb in it?

go back to 1.2.58
that is i think on the safe side.

How do you do that? I never use Spark at all

go into spark
choose menu
choose spark + ok
then update software

Surely i don't want to update the software this will put 1.2.61 on it?

can you not go back to choose

Don't know never tried, just don't want to f*ck my box up

u should be able to choose which version u wish to upgrade, go down the list.
how the hell did u managed to start enimgma on it? i couldnt, always stuck on boot after uploading or on actuall upload, have tried almost every possible image, whats urs?

This is what i have posted on another forum

I have been asked by a few members to post up my e2 image for the amiko alien 8900 this is the image i use

I will post you a link below to the enigma2 image that i use and also a backup of an image setup for 28.2 east all you need to do is enter your cline into var/keys using dcc (dreambox control centre) (can be found anywhere on google).
put the two folders on your memory stick as they are

Firstly flash the e2 image to your box
go through the basic setup procedure and then go to menu, pkteam blue panel, down to mount centre into hdd manager then using the left arrow bring up your memory stick and press the green button (mount device) this should tell you that your memory stick was succesfully mounted. next exit back to the blue panel and go to system into backup manager and press the red button, this will then put the backup settings onto your system and reboot your system.

next go into dcc and go into configuration and in the dreambox put in the ip on your box which can be found in menu/setup/system/network/adapter settings

the name in dcc should read as root & the password is pkteam put this in and press reconnect the line between the pc image & the dreambox image should go green if this is the case then go into FTP var/keys right click on ccamd.list and paste your cline in here and then save. Next in DCC go into tools and send command and press restart dreambox and this will reboot your dream box and it should be now working. To access your bouquet press ok & then the blue button and this should then show you folders that i have set up go into anyone you like and click on a channel and it should work

good luck and let me know

This is just a basic for 28.2e but once you get this up and running you can tinker with it. Download other channel lists and change your settings for multi sats

also when you put your box into standby always put it into deep standby otherwise the box will hang up and you will have to disconnect it from the mains ans reconnect

bear in mind that this is just for people who are frustrated after buying the alien 8900 and not being able to get it running. It really isn't a box for newbies although i am finding that a lot of people are buying them and then wanting to throw them out of the window. Anyone who gets this up and running and wants any further advice on how to do other bits and pieces let me know.

This also has crossepg on it just go to red button and press crossepg updater to set it up.

whether it is the best i don't know but it is the most stable that i have found

If your unsure or don't feel safe just run the rescue image. You will find it on this forum.

Do you think we should have a page where people can list ebay sellers who are selling clones?

Nano

Might be a good idea, thanks for the advice. I found an early copy of spark rescue and gonna try it tomorrow.

Hate to bring up a dead thread.
I updated my box today, found out it was a clone! The U-Boot code is gone in system information, box still functions though, downgraded to 1.2.58se, I still don't see the U-Boot code again (guess its destroyed) However I do see the software as 1.2.58 now whereas on 1.2.61 it said .50 still.
Do you know If I use the rescue image, if the U-Boot code comes back? Can anyone confirm??
I found it a nightmare setting up my software on the box so don't want to restore the box if not needed.
Cheers.

im still trying to work out as well if my box is a clone as the box seems fine.............................

point me in the right direction of the image as the link on here is dead?

thanks

is it easy to do?

Forgot to say thanks............but i might of done this in another thread as well.
