just tried it again and got as far as 30% flash before it crashed.

i had put the usb to serial adapter in the freezer for 45min and it has been the furthest i got yet.

when i took it out again it was warm again so i'm putting it down to that.

i have another usb to serial lead but i can't find it at the moment so i'll have to have a look again tomorrow.

at least i know the dreambox isn't totally knackered.

i've downloaded every version of dreamup i could find, 15 versions from 1.0.2.6 to 1.3.3.7

i think i cant use any version after 1.3.3.4 as my box is a clone.

sorry i didnt even see the date,

yea just looking for a gemini image as i was told that its best to flash it with gemini using dreamup after the box crashes and wont do anything, as mine has.

these are backup files, not sure if it would be better if i used an original img file.

thanks for replies

thanks for that
i also found this: hxxp://rapidshare.com/files/328859422/Gemini4.70_DM500-Backup-NoTimeBomb-01.01.2010-ByAYBERK.rar

how do i know if these are clone safe? is there a checker program to try it before you flash it?

just a quick update, i tried to flash it again a few min ago and it took the flash loader in real quick, got a reply and said it was ready to flash (this hadn't happened since the first time i tried dreamup).

i went to flash the pli image and it returned an error straight away and wouldn't flash anything.

i disconnected and tried again but this time it was back to the way it was before, loading the flash loader slowly and not getting an acknowledgement.

i went to pull out the usb to serial converter and it was fairly warm so i'm thinking maybe thats the problem. i'm going to put it in the fridge for a while and see if it makes a difference. maybe i'll put the whole lot in the fridge, this is head wrecking stuff but i'm not giving up now i know that the dm500 is still responding ok.

i just tried to download it and it said file not available 10 downloads reached, i dont know if that is a problem my end or with rapidshare?

there are wireless remote control senders and video senders that allow a remote to send signals back to the original box but as far as i know there is nothing exactly like the magic eye available for the dreambox. ie a remote sender that works off the coax cable.

ok i will have a look for that version, probably the weekend before i get around to it.

the com port settings i have are: speed 115200, data bits 8, parity none, flow control none, and the buffers off in advanced settings (i also tried it with the buffers on).

i'm only going from memory so at the weekend i'll try it all again when i've more time.

thanks for the help.

SkinBobUk, hi i did try dreamup 1.3.3.4 and 1.2.2.0 with the same results. i had a quick look around for other versions but hadn't got a lot of time as i had to go do some work. what version did you get to work can you remember?

"work the curse of the drinking man".

yea, i tried that the first time and it seemed to all go ok until the new flash got to about 75% when it crashed. i read elsewhere that for best results i should have loaded gemini and then try a new image, but, of course, i read all this after i'd done the damage.

i can't get access to the box at all now to erase anything so me thinks it will be a jtag. others have said to try an older computer with a proper 9 pin serial port but i threw them all out a while back so unless i go down to the corpo recycling center on saturday and rescue a pc i'm stumped.

i might invest in another box anyway but i' like to get this one going again if its possible.

i have a cas3 interface which has a dreambox jtag option so i wont give up until i try this, but i'll have to be in the humor to do it as i've done it before with a dragon cam and its a pain in the a**e.

thanks for the reply.

i had my dm500 running pli for the last 6 months. everything was fine until i loaded a new image on, Eagle V5.2_CCcam 2.2.1 on friday last.

the image worked ok until i loaded a new skin on sunday, then the box would only boot to the loading screen and loop back through bootup again.

i got my usb to serial and null modem lead that i've used on a load of other boxes and went to repair the box with dreamup v 1.3.3.4

the box connected to dreamup, loaded the flash loader, and then was ready to flash so i went to flash the eagle image to it again. it got to about 75% when it returned an error and wouldn't respond.

i went through the process again but this time after it loads the flash loader it just says "dreamup upload completed waiting for acknowledge" and doesn't go any further.

i tried this again several times with the same result. i've changed com port settings and tried all the usb ports on 2 laptops using different compatibility (ie win xp, 98 etc). also tried an older version of dreamup.

i cannot get the box to connect through lan so its com port or jtag only. has anybody any ideas before i get the soldering iron out?

ps. its a clone and the image was from the dm500 clone images section of this forum, but i don't think it was the image as it worked ok for 2 days.

another new one today, hopefully it will be out of beta soon.

Ok, i will do, but wont be using it till i get my box back working, put new skin on last night & now it wont boot, cant find the null modem lead either. Pain in the a**e

just tried this, was running it for about 10 minutes, then avg free popped up and said it was malware so i moved it to the avg vault.

anyone else have this problem? i was trying to edit a profile when the popup appeared. looks good apart from that.

Hi, thanks for the reply.

Just wondering if there is much noise from the cooler, also does it run when the box is in standby, ie is the Usb port powered in standby?

I'll have a look on the web and see whats available.

I've got a Dm800 clone acting as a server in my mates house but it is running hot all the time, even in standby.
When he tries to use the box sometimes it locks up and needs a reboot. Its running the latest dreamelite blackhole from this site.

I know that clones run hot and that the server is still running in standby but my question is if i Install a fan in the hard drive cradle area will the fan still run in standby? I suppose it depends on where i take the power from on the pcb.

The other option is to use my dm500 as a server in his house and just let him use the Dm800 for viewing. Would this be a better option?

I have a small fan i bought a few years back fo my Humax 5400 so i might try it out.

Looks like this release is working fairly ok according to reports, i might try it this weekend if i get a chance.

i haven't tried rc 6 or 8 yet. i'm using rc4 with a 4-1 diseqc at the moment and its fine.
the rti team were saying that the last 3 images were for testing and to use rc4 or 5 for normal viewing so its probably just a bug in the software.

you would be better to ask in the dm800 section as this is the dm500 section.

it could be a wireless problem with your router. i have a linksys wrk54g and it has a mind of its own. it will disconnect from the internet whenever it feels like it.
i think it was an overheating problem so i moved to where it would have more air circulation which improved it a bit but it still happens now and again.
you could try and use a cable connection between your laptop/computer and router to rule out a wifi problem. (if your using wifi).
or try a different router if you could get your hands on one handily enough.
