If you have an openpli image on the DM500 rename the commando image to root.cramfs
FTP this to /var/tmp folder.. In the openpli menu go to settings then expert settings then update and manual update and it will install..

Howto install the latest software image on your DM500

Thank you, i will try that. I let you know how it went :)

Wait how should the file be named? root.cramfs or root.cramfs.img ??

EDIT 1: Where can i find expert settings? All i can find is System settings and if i click on "Software update" this pops up:
"Are you sure you want to put your box in **STOP** mode?
When the box is in **STOP** mode you need to connect to it with a webbrowser and flash the new image.
Make sure you make a backup of your settings before continuing."

the backup image is not sent to the tmp folder on the dm500
using ftp

Yes it is, i transferred it a long time ago, but i always get this :(
But i'm going to try Master G's method :)

Which image is on the dm500 at the moment ?

Well i had Gemini 4.7.0, but i have now flashed it to OpenPLi http://openpli.org/download/dreambox/dm500plus/

The only reason i want to change the image is because OpenPLi made it alot slower and it always crash randomly whenever i look at a channel or even zap to a new channel :/

EDIT: This is what i always get:

Can you ftp to the DM ?

Yes by using Dreambox control center.. or any other FTP software :)

Quote from master G

Flash the image in telnet using dreambox control center. This was already explained in your previous thread Can i install OpenPLi on Dm500-s??..

Don`t ask us to help you configure oscam, CCcam etc as we havn`t forgot you are using a pay server Got my Dreambox box with gemini and MgCamd, now what?

Nah screw CCcam... I've been reading about it and it sounded too good to be true. After i knew it had a flaw (not legal) i decided to not use it anymore as i intended to do...
Master G, i've been trying to use telnet but i get this all the time:
"-sh: eraseall: not found" :(

Look at this thread i wrote: http://linuxsat-support.com/showthread.php?t=92820

Hello guys, i've been trying to flash my Dreambox DM500+ but with no success...
I have downloaded Dreamup versions "DreamUP_1_3_3_11", "DreamUP_patched_by_forhike_and_natas" and "DreamUP_1_3_3_9"
But they all give me that i can only use the extension file .nfi and not .img...
How can i flash it to Command if it only accept .nfi and not .img?

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 :(

Hello guys, i am going to flash my Dreambox by using telnet since my laptop doesn't have a COM port...

I followed this guide: http://linuxsat-support.com/showthread.php?t=443

But everytime i try to write this command: "cd /tmp && eraseall /dev/mtd/3 && cp backup.img /dev/mtd/3 && reboot"
I get this message: "-sh: eraseall: not found"

I used FlashFXP to transfer the commando file (i renamed it to backup and the extension file type is .img).
And then i used Putty to write that command...

What am i doing wrong?

Here is a picture of how it looks like:

Hi , we dont have any support for 'pay servers'. Read the rules before you post anything for your own sake. Thanks :79:

Sorry, let just forget i mentioned the paid subscription :P
How can i use Dreambox Control Center for starters... I can't even access it! :(
And do you think i should do i clean installation by using Commando instead of Gemini? :)

Hello guys, i just recieved my Dreambox 500+ (bought it used), and i think it's installed with Gemini and it have MgCamd 1.31...

Now since i have never ever played with this before (i had a DM800 "preinstalled" with all the channels),and i have no idea what to do next...

I have a CCCam subscription, but how do i "install" it in my dreambox?
Should i factory reset everything or just use the used box and go with it?

Also when i use Dreambox Control Center to transfer the CCcam.CFG into my box, where do i find the ip adress to the box? Is it the same as if i write "IPconfig" in the command box?

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?

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??

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 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 :(

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 master G

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 maazkhan9869

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 :)

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?

Hello guys! I'm thinking to buy a box (for the first time) to use it to watch on a CCcam subscription i have bought.

I want to buy a cheap box since i'm not home all the time. I've been looking at Vu+ solo2 and it looks great. But is there a cheaper alternative?
Is there any special requirements i need think of when i buy the box?
I mean i have a good internet speed, is there anything else i should buy? For instance cables etc etc...

Never mind i used nautilus to access the folder so i could make the folder to become permissioned
However this problem occurs now :(
