No, oe 2.0

Try this image (Dream-Elite-4.1) and let me know if it works for you. RE: OPENBH-4.4.001-DM800SE-SIM2-15092020-PGS

EDIT

Fyi, I haven't dealt with this box for a long time. If it works for you, I'll try it again.

with the "manual" method works fine on my dm800se clone (sunray triple tuner) sim 2.10
i have 2 partitions on the usb (mbr), 1st fat16, 2nd ext3.
i've restored the nfi image on the 2nd partition, copied kernel on the fat partition (and edited the autoexec) and it boots just fine.

i would say is a good image, but it miss openvpn that is a must have for me...

k i'm gonna try it tomorrow and let you know.

Very intersting I can give a try

I'm not using any multiboot plugin so I cannot tell much about MultiMiniBoot

I use a small size usb 2.0 pen (8 or 16 gb) . I'm not sure if the Dm800se firmware works ok with bigger size usb pen. I never tried.

It works ok with mbr with 10 partitions or more.

I use use the following partitins on my usb pen (I have internal hdd shown as sda)

1) vfat 32 mb -> primary -> shown as sdb1

2) linux-swap 512mb -> primary -> shown as sdb2

3) ext4 1gb -> logical -> shown as sdb5 -> for the first image

4) ext4 1gb -> logical -> shown as sdb6 -> for the second image

and so on

with that I can run any kind of image of any size (provaided that is for dm800se)

As you read in my previous post, I mention that the old generation images do not run on an MBR disk in logical partitions.

As you can see, I already have 37 images (new generation) in logical partitions and another 12 (old generation) that cannot be run

and I use MultiMiniBoot on the hdd (I run them from the first DreamElite image (old generation).

I use a 64gb microsd card via a small USB card reader and everything works normally and much faster than a usb pen.

what do you mean by old and new generation? oe 1.6 or oe 2.0?

to pinpoint a very useful guide, here is one:
How To Boot Your DM800 From A USB Stick

it can be done at 90% on the enigma2 device itself, and to format in fat16 (the 1st partition) you have to use a pc

it basically create 2 or more partitions, extract the backup image on the 2nd one, copies the boot info on the 1st, setting the boot priority on the device, and that's it.

here is how I do it without using any multiboot plugin.

1) Go to a linux computer (or use your drembox with eparted) an make at leas 2 partitions , the first should be 32 mb and the second big enough to contain the whole image ( I use 1GB) . Format the first one as vfat and the second as ext3 or ext4

2) Take your nfi image and decompress it and copy it to the second partition of your usb pen. Copy the boot dir contents to the vfat partition

3) edit the "autoexec_dm800se.bat" in the vfat partition and change the second line of the file in

"/boot/vmlinux-3.2-dm800se.gz root=/dev/sdbx rootdelay=10 rw console=ttyS0,115200" (without the quotes)

Be aware that the "sdbx" should be changed in either "sda2" (if you do not have internal hdd" or in to "sdb2". If you add a third partition and you add another image and you wont boot that one , copy the boot content of that image into vfat and change sdbx in sda3 or sdb3. (and so on)

4) modify the bios of your dreambox to boot from usb (if you do not know how to do it just google it )

I f you have done everything correctly it should boot the image in the usb pen

Please note that it does not matter what image you have in the flash.

I made up some simple scripts to be able to switch from one image to the other without doing the manual changes

which bin do you need to decompress the nfi image (using a linux vm) and write it to the usb partition?

Quote from tiaderosa

Hi,

Great job !!! .

you said:

"when a image boot

a) boot with vmlinux that is on DREAM-BOOT , with /lib/modules/ that is on image in OMB or ROOT

b) this vmlinux with modules MUST BE from the same compile-build image base from pli or openatv

c) not possible ,for example, to boot if vmlinux on DREAM-BOOT is pli and modules on multiboot image is from openatv or the opposite

d) possible to boot image base pli, with vmlinux - modules from openatv or the opposite"

That is clear.

If I understood correcly the booting process, vmlinux is first booted from "Vfat" partition an then the process jump to sdx2 "ext3" partition when you have an external flash image which must have the OMB plugin installed. The OMB task will be responsible of booting the image seleted from the omb menu using the proper vmlinux and modules. If this is the case?

In principle I need to change the vmilux in the DREAM-BOOT only if I decide to change the image in the "external flash" if needed . Is this the case ?

I didn't like omd in flash image because the booting process is much longer and because the writing of vmlinuz on the flash not always work correctly. I didn't like other Multiboot pluging like Italyboot (which is what I was using mostly) because of some incopatibility with newer image that creates issue with samba or OpenVpn.

So I 'm actually using an "homemade" usb-boot in which each image in store in a partition of the usb pen. I use a script to boot a different image. Basically this script copies the Boot content of the selectet image to the "vfat" partition. The "autoexec_dm800se.bat" is of course modifiet to point to the partition of the select image. In This way I've solved all compatibility issue,

very interesting topic.
I'm trying to update my old dm800se clone (sunray) fitting a complete image on usb drive to boot from there
do you have any tips or guide to use your method?
i'm trying to have the original old openpli 6.1 on internal flash, and a more updated image on usb.
grazie!

ciao piterfree,
i have a sunray triple tuner sim 2.10 i use with oscam and nothing more.
i was wondering if i can lash this image, and also i want to be sure that:
triple tuner is gonna work
if the image has openvpn (2.5-2.6)

at the moment i have an old openpli 5.x, but i need to upgrade it because latest openvpn i can use on it is 2.3.9, and is not supported anymore by any vpn providers...

scusa ma come si fa a scaricare l'immagine? non ci sono link

the linked image zip says is for ibox 2 and se... i have the ibox 3

can you post the link please?

Quote from hamza theboss

try the openpli 4 it's the best that i use it

it's an olg image but you have online update dated on 12-2019 and all things work fine

it's the fastest one for cloud ibox

if the feeds are offline the only way to install a package it's via terminal.

if i need to install curl or openvpn i can manually copy the ipk and try to opkg install packl.ipk

but libs like libcurl, libssl, etc needs to be pre installed too, otherwise the main ipk won't install. so a live feed or all the needed ipk must be installed manually.

if the feeds are offline the only way to install the ipk is to download manually too all the dependencies ipk. but i can't find a working feed to do so.

question: which openpli image have you installed on your box?

i think i've already tested it, but i'll give it another try...

thanx

thanx for the reply

that's the point: with no feeds i can't install manually the pack, because it's missing dependencies...

i.e: curl needs libcurl4,libgcrypt11,libgnutls26,libgpg-error0

openvpn needs also the kernel-tun, libcrypto, libssl

i can't find them for openpli or openatv 5.x

i've already tested the openpli backup you linked, but feeds are off, and with no kernel tun.ko openvpn can't work...

do you have a reliable source to get the missing libs/kernel patches?

hi,

i'm trying to flash a recent image for an original cloud ibox3 with working feeds.

the only one that has it seems openatv 6.4 but is really slow (it takes around 3 min just for booting).

is available a faster image? i need to install curl and openvpn but without feeds i can't find most of lib and dependencies..

pippomus can you help me out? grazie mille
