Hi zeeshop!
From what I can remember, you must set up your recording. I'm at work now and I can check the exact settings when I get in but I think you have to set a recording server. You can the choose things like image size and codecs in which it is streamed.

Hi there bekja001!
Before you post you should always introduce yourself within the introduction forum.
Can you access your DM500 through a web browser? -
I got the channels working but the cccam.cfg, I cannot seem to find it any where ??!!
On ts panel and then on to softcams, I have Cccam2.3.0 on and it is green and there is no ecm info !!You can just make a cccam.cfg file within etc if one is not there. I just make a text file and rename it, then transfer over.

I highly rate this image http://linuxsat-support.com/dm…ge%3Dopen-pli-2-01-a.html

What would you like to update on your Dreambox?
-
That's a really nice image too!
-
That's bloody it guys! I flashed the OpenPLi image through the webshell after flashing the bootloader offered by Mee®kat using a patched version of Dreamup.
I didn't realise that flashing an official firmware on a clone would corrupt the bootloader.
I owe you guys! I'm friggin' made-up =D -
Because that bootloader has worked and its has SIM2 on the ***STOP*** screen, that means its a clone right?
-
But i have a webshell! :)... new bootloader has gotten rid of the error and I've got a ***stop*** IP for the first time! =D

Bad news fellas:
19:32:40 box type: DM800
19:33:59 Calculating checksum...
waiting for OK from box to beginn upload...
19:34:00 Uploading file to box...19:34:15 box is flashing from its memory...
19:34:15 OK, flash-copy succeeded
19:36:15 Calculating checksum...
waiting for OK from box to beginn upload...
19:36:16 Uploading file to box...20:52:02 box is flashing from its memory...
20:52:05 Flashing failed (!!! 010 INVALID IMAGE (OR OLD VERSION)), box will be unusable now!!It all seemed like it was going so well; Should I try the same method with an image for a genuine box and if so, is there an image you could recommend?

Mate if your still stuck try this..download this patched version of http://linuxsat-support.com/dr…ersion-forhike-natas.html
Then download open pli http://linuxsat-support.com/dm…ge%3Dopen-pli-2-01-a.html
Connect box to pc/laptop via null modem cable only and make sure network is unticked...so com1 or whatever serial port you are using//then click connect/then switch on dreambox..if all goes well it should say dm800 detected and the flash button on the right should be there for you to click...
1:Click flash button and select 84b bootlader included and it should flash it in a few seconds..
2:when bootloader is done click flash again and then select the actual image..this will probably take around an hour so get some lunch...
3: when image is finally flashed for good measure click flash again and write the same bootloader again...when done click disconnect...unplug power from dreambox...wait 30 seconds then apply power..
4:eat lunch and hopefully watch some tele.....I think your bootloader is probably corrupted which is not allowing your image to go on so follow my steps above...
MAKE SURE if its a laptop it does not go into sleep/standby while flashing as you could really blow the boxes brains out..also make the null modem lead is secure and no chance of being tripped over..
Cheers
Good Luck!!!

Flashed the bootloader! That's the first success I've had, just flashing the modded image now *fingers crossed*
-
Do you have any further suggestions Inspiral? (edit: I didn't see those two posts, trying now...)
-
Same error, I think it's the same method:
DM800HD Detected !
Dreambox Detected...Ok!
Sending Flash Loader...
Second Stage OK!
Boot Success & Ready For Network Web Interface!
Error: Socket Error # 10060
Connection timed out.After the boot success line, it take about 15-20 seconds then the error pops up
Could this mean it's not a clone?further thought... the designated IP is 192.168.1.77
My DHCP server only has leases for 192.168.0.x
I managed to get the webshell earlier when the IP was 192.168.0.14 using dreamup(patched)
That's when I tried an official image and got:
crc check skipped INVALID IMAGE (OR OLD VERSION)
Which made me think its clone -
So far I've followed the Optiflasher method, it looked good and I was hopeful but it spat out this:
Power ON DB Device [ESC to Abort]
DM800HD Detected !
Dreambox Detected...Ok!
Sending Flash Loader...
Second Stage OK!
Boot Success & Ready For Network Web Interface!
Error: Socket Error # 10060
Connection timed out.Any ideas guys? Is it goosed?

DreamtroolboxGR
try this mate recovered mine lastweek with similar issueI have a similar issue, the only toolbox I can find though is My Dream Toolbox 7.4
Will this do the same trick?
Thanks in advance! -
Thanks also! I haven't heard of the optiflasher method, and I'll try those other two links when I get in tonight. Thanks again guys I'll let you know how it goes later on :)

You need to flash the box in serial mode using the null modem cable, from memory this will take about 45 minutes, once done the webinterface will be available again.
Thanks for the help, I've tried using a null modem, it took 77 mins! It uploaded the image and stayed stuck on "waiting for acknowledgement"

Hello friends,
I am in a very similar boat except I don't know if my DM800HD PVR is genuine or a clone. I was asked to add bouquets for my father-in-law's friend. He had just bought the box, apparently genuine, but the guy he bought it off didn't know his root password and brushed it off, telling me to just flash it. So I went straight for an official image through the webshell and it died.
I got a NO CA error (it didn't an never has mentioned a second stage bootloader either on the lcd or in any dreamup) and proceeded to use Dreamup.
I tried a few different versions until one uploaded the flash loader but didn't get any further
I then read up on some guides about enforcer and DM800 repair
I have flashed over ethernet and serial but both upload and fail to installI followed this guide:
http://linuxsat-support.com/en…lone-fix-no-ca-error.html
But no webshell is accessableI have tried this firmware Downloads | dream-multimedia-tv.de
and this OpenPli-BL84-sim2.10-exp-dm800-2013-06-19-17-48.nfiAnd I'm really stuck.
My only progress has been to get into serial mode and get an IP but no webshell
I would really appreciate any help guys, thanks in advance
