    Pull the plug on the dm800, hold the power button on the front panel and plug in the power. Keep holding the button until you see DHCP stop on the led, here you will see the ip address of the dm800, sim version and bootloader. Put this into your browser and you will get the menu to flash a new image.

  • Hi m8 after doing what master G told you u only need to put the following in your browser


    http://(ip of your box)
    hit enter
    A new page will appear, click on upgrade firmware


    Browse to the directory where you stored the nfi file
    click flash and when ready reboot the box

  • Don´t you dare even think about giving up!!!!! you´ve come this far ,even if it´s only a little ;) but you have gained priceless experience,,,
    sometimes you need to take a deep breath and step away from it to "see" the problem ;)
    It´s all part of the learning proccess and we never stop learning ..that´s the beauty of our hobby ;)
    so you just go get your self a cuppa then go for a walk then come back to reading slowly and retrace your steps,,
    you will get there in the end..

  • last warning M8 be aware if you got a clone box use a patched E2 IMAGE make sure you use the right IMAGE for your box other ways you will get in to more trouble..

  • That;s correct mate after that you get a page in front of you there you click on firmware upgrade , browse to your nfi file and click flash
    Afger flashing is done click on reboot and confgure your box.
    Don't forget to save your cccam.cfg and your settings.
    After configuration FTP back the config file and your settings list and you are up and running

  • thanks to all here i was just frustrated i will try get a loan of a laptop windows and try again , thanks for your great support cheers


    let you know just tested for you on my PC MAC with Safari browser and update my DM800 IMAGE clone SIM 2.1 done in few minute
    believe you have to read my post again and suss out where you going wrong M8...some time can be frustrated not to get first time..


    i know once you suss out will be peace of cake working with your box..let us know how you get it on..and good luck


    PS let you know as well with MAC some tools will not work with E2 IMAGE but there is way around to sort out you just have to have patient and ask question and learn
    at the end will be a great feeling you done it..

  • much appreciated CDR but every time i entered the ip just keep getting lots of sites. do i have to go into dreambox web interface first ???? thanks

    When you type the DM800 ip address into your browser it will bring you to the webinterface. The above image will only appear by putting the receiver in flash mode, unplug then hold button on the front panel and power on. Look at the led on the front panel it will show you the ip address to enter into browser/safari
