Montroc.. dear friend, openpli is very good but purE2 has more "juice"

Emo,

thanks

I am not a programmer neither technician. I can operate. I do not have the slightest idea of what is BSR.

Could tell me practically the list of operations and their precise sequence to execute to implement your advices.

Thanks a lot.

The BSR is an option to activate in the BIOS or thru the JapharFlasher/DreamUp, while you flash a nfi image file.

Emo

Yawwilson,

Thanks for your attention.

When I tried openpli, on members' suggestions, I flashed unsuccessfully OpenPLi-2.1-beta-dm800-20140510.nfi.

Hello jenseneverest.. good day!...kind of finding it difficult to connect ftp with purE2 image ..had previously connected to openpli... user name.and password? Or some other suggestions...

Master G

thanks so much

I will try this evening to connect ftp and let you know how it works

Montroc

Emo,

I appreciate very much your attention and support.

Could you give me the *.nfi image address of such a bad sector recovery? I have no idea where to find one.

Flash image with bad sector recovery. Then reboot box and flash image normaly again.

if during boot the box still restart infinitely, then replace the 4 big capacitors (you could first remove the tuner board, hdd if any, anything connected to the USB, and any paytv smartcards on frontpanel. If box boot properly then its definitely the 4 big capacitors to be replaced with 105’ ones if possible from Rubycon for quality).

Teak-won-do,

Thanks for your suggestion

Il shall explore it and let you know any progress in that direction.

technodvl2,

Thanks for your precious information.

Among my seven image flashing negative experiences, there was an image recommended by a member: OpenPli-2.1-beta-dm800-20140510.nfi

The sole image that enabled at least the generation of the images presented in my detailed analytic and documented story was suggested by teak-won-do:

newenigma2-ipk-weekly-dm800-06_09_2020.nfi. With all 5 others, including my own two ones, no image at all appeared on the TV screen.

So your point on size makes sense.

What is the full nfi address of the OpenPli you recommend, if you still recommend it.

Thanks again

DM800 Hd or se

there is not much space after image and skin with cams and a few plugins

there is not much left for it to do it's thing

anything you add will make it unstable and risk of not booting up

space is at a premium on dm800

no matter what you do now

everything you had inside your box is lost

the only option you got is to re-flash with new image

i wouldn't use blackhole it's one of the largest images you can get

and openpli is one of the smallest ( even though it's not supported by openpli )

good luck

you learn by messing up

thanks dvld2,

Let me be accurate regarding internet connection:

1- When I insert the power supply plug, the ethernet plug starts flashing both colors: yellow and green, led starts flashing red and on the box screen, message: Dream Multimedia. The tv screen opens with a V+ Black Hole 2.1.7 http://www.vuplus-community.net purple image,

2 -10 seconds after, everything stops during 15 seconds: only internet plug yellow, non led light , TV screen is black

3 - The ethernet plug starts flashing both colors: yellow and green, led starts flashing red and on the box screen, message: Dream Multimedia booting... . The tv screen opens with a V+ Black Hole 2.1.7 http://www.vuplus-community.net booting ...blue image,

When I open DDC with the right parameters, There is non connexion with the box and a message: "error 10057 on functioning Send Socket is not connected."

that is the detailed analytic and documented story

Thanks a lot for you goodwill. I appreciate it very much. It is good to be good!

if you got internet connection

and you say CCcam config is the problem

using DCC

copy CCcam.cfg found in /etc/ to your desktop so you can allways use it again

save anything else you think you may need

and delete CCcam

/usr/bin/CCcam ( whatever number )

if you have HDD disable it

if you have USB remove it

and see if it starts

but i think your problem is the SKIN your using

if your brave id delete any skin you installed ( YOU INSTALLED ) ( /usr/share/enigma2/ ) ( whatever name )

you can try and see if it kicks in

maybe try this first

telnet

init 4 && opkg update && opkg upgrade && init 6

the power supply problem

would let you boot

but you would have no signal on sats from my experience

Compo,

Yes , that is what I did.

Panda555,

Thank you for your suggestion. I tried 7 images including two used in the past that were in my Dreambox 800HD files.

Regarding servicing, I have no idea whom to send it yo? I am right now in Spain. If you know someone capable to repair it, I am interested to contact him.

Montroc

Compo,

Thanks for your detailed advices: it is so useful.

I tried:

First: using another power supply, result negative. No rebooting.

Second: removing the Peritel cable connecting the box to my cathodic Philips large screen TV: result negative. No rebooting.

I am not good at soldering.

The box worked perfectly well until the streaming provider reprogramed the box for CCcam one day testing.

My question: is there a way for a true specialist to try penetrate the box with internet and act as a surgeon?

Montroc

Many thanks

to technotvl2: There is internet connection to my Dreambox 800hd

to Panda555: My CCcam provider is prepared to act if the box reboots. They recognise their responsibility. I do not know at this stage if they are prepared to reprogram the box after reset. but before questioning them, I rather know how to reset to factory the box. If you know, tell me, please.

I opened it and did not see any message from esmosin

Thank you

Where can I find that PM?

Thanks

What is PM?

Emo,

In your statement, that extract interests me the most: "There is no possible FATAL KILL of Dreamboxes, .....A box is ALWAYS recoverable, and I appreciate this from DMM Team " And I share your judgement:" it means you have no idea how DMM hardware/software works". You are perfectly right: I am able to operate the DM800 HD as I did it for 5 years without any problem with its Vu+ 2.1.7. and its Black Hole 2.1.7. skin. I do not know how to program it and I have no idea how DMM hardware/software works. it is wrong programming by a steaming provider that generates the non-rebooting. I am satisfied client for three years by their streaming services, so I accepted their offer to install a CCcam system for one day probation.

Question: could your DMM Team tell me how to proceed to get a rebooting? Having failed with flashing 7 images (including two ancients used by me in the past), the best being "newenigma2-ipk-weekly-dm800-06_09_2020.nfi" without enabling rebooting, I came to the concept of an electric or mechanical solution to reset the factory setup.

I am very pleased to get your DMM Team's confirmation of what I suspected, that the box is ALWAYS recoverable. Please, tell me how to proceed.

To Teak-won-do: You described your occupation as a haker. Could you penetrate my Dreambox DM800HD that does not reboot even after having flashed your recommended image: newenigma2-ipk-weekly-dm800-06_09_2020.nfi?

I remind you that the box read light flashes, there are two initial images on display. First immediate image Vu+ 2.1.7 (https://www.linuxsat-support.c…chment/151888-bc6ef4-png/) 30 seconds black interface and then second image Black Hole 2.1.7 rebooting ...(https://www.linuxsat-support.c…achment/151889-53d44-jpg/) . My box is original , its picture is:(https://www.linuxsat-support.c…t/151890-2d863696d61-jpg/). The hard disc seems to me functioning.

I am a bit surprised that the German inventors of the Dreambox system have not provided an electric or mechanical solution to reset the factory setup in case of a user programming failure. Users' programming failure must be quite common without becoming fatal. If my proposition is true, what is that solution?

Thank you so much for your attention to my request.

I shall provide you with all the details you might need to advise me and possibly save my Dreambox 800 HD. It has worked perfectly for years. It is a streaming and CCcam provider (I am for three years a satisfied streaming customer) who offered an extension of its CCcam services. He programmed my Dreambox by Anydesk to enable me to test it during a single day. When his programming was over, he asked me to restart the box. I did it and the box never rebooted. I tried 7 images (two historic ones from my files and 5 other among them animage you suggested. The image which restores the first TV views is newenigma2-ipk-weekly-dm800-06_09_2020.nfi. These first views are Vu+ 2.1.7 followed by Vu+ Black Hole with unfortunately rebooting...

My model : S/N: 8A18130000032260 MAC: 00 09 34 28 3C C1

The box was offered by one of my sons who installed it and is not unfortunately available to solve this problem. I can operated but not program it.

I appreciate very much your help.
