Can i install OpenPLi on Dm500-s??

Hello guys, i just found my old DM500-s, and it has been a long time since i used it.
I've heard good things about Gemini, OpenPLi and Command... But mostly good things about OpenPli... Now, since i have an DM500-S, can i install OpenPli in it?

Yeh sure you can.

Really? :O
Well that helped alot, thank you :D

I dont remember exactly how to flash the dreambox because it has been a while, but do we still use Dreamup to flash it? Or is there another way to do it?

I think i will go with this Image :)

Openpli Downloads for the DM500

Does it matter if its DM500-S or DM500?

In the website you sent me i can only download a file for DM500 :(

Quote from cazuela

DM500s is a dm500....
the s represents satellite and not c for cable T forterrestrial..
when named DM500(s) or dm500(s) its usually a clone.
So beware of images with timebomb..
For example I had a Dreambox 500+s which is an original..

Ahh i see, thank you! :D
How do i know which image has timebomb? :O :O
Does openpli or gemini have timebomb?

Quote from alimac

why not use commando far better image

Quote from bmitie

yes commando 15.1a rocks

Does Commando have any time bombs? :P
Sorry for these stupid questions xD
Also can you send me the link for Commando 15.1a?
I've seen Commando 15.0d, 15.0c, 15.0 etc etc.. I have no idea which one to choose :(

Thank you! I will try one of them.

But i have a new problem... i've been searching like crazy for my Null modem Cable, and haven't found it... I also found out that my pc doesn't have a COM port to use the Null modem cable to flash the dreambox...
I am going to buy one, that is an adapter for the Null modem cable... But meanwhile, is there any other way for me to flash the dreambox without having a Null modem Cable?? :(

Quote from Honcho

what image you running the now ?

i norm update via ftp by sticking my image in the temp folder and installing via remote
dont do the above untill you get a replay to or not as you may stop the booting of stb
i norm only update same image that way and have never tryed to change systems that way
so it may not be best way to move forward :)
you can also flash wizard pro if i mind right can flash via eithernet but id have to check back

Well i don't know how big the chance is but my dreambox died :/
So i ended up buying a Dreambox DM500+ for $12...
Can i still flash the dreambox even if it's Dreambox DM500+ instead of Dreambox DM500-s??

Quote from cazuela

Wow buddy--must be bargain of the century!!!!
Yes ,,as the + sign simply means extra ran space for more addons nothing else...
but as far as i can recall its the same image.....

Really? Hahah the guy i bought it from hade 4 different boxes.. He had
-Openbox V8s
-Skybox F5s/V8
-Xtrend ET6500
-Dreambox DM500+

Do you think the other boxes is better than Dreambox DM500+?? Openbox and skybox was a bit more expensive, and it looked great, but since i have no idea if it's good or not i picked dreambox... Do you think i should have bought one of the other instead?

Quote from master G

You don`t need dreamup to flash this image, do it in telnet with putty or dreambox control center..

To flash an image using Telnet

This method will only work with a .img image file.

Rename the image file to backup.img
FTP the image file to the /tmp folder on the dreambox
Telnet to your box with putty or dreambox control center and paste the following command, then press enter:

Code

cd /tmp && eraseall /dev/mtd/3 && cp backup.img /dev/mtd/3 && reboot

Thank you, i will try that as soon as my dreambox arrive... But i've read that if you mess it up you are forced to use a null modem cable. Is that true?

Well guys. I have a small problem :)
I bought a null modem cable and everything and successfully flashed it to OpenPLi by using DreamUP.
But it's SLOOOOW as hell, and it crashes sometimes when i try to open some channels (I have no idea why) :O
But i tried to flash it to commando (the links you sent me), but i have no idea how to do it.. With DreamUP it can only accept the extension file .nfi and not .img
How can i flash it to commando? :O

Sorry for these stupid questions :(
