ive noticed this and not sure why it happens

i have a working DW v2 image with AU fix applied.

now i use the dreambox menu to make a backup of this working image, the dreambox dumps it in the tmp folder.

so i copy this backup image to my heard drive and use it to image another 500c

when i do, channels wont work and one of the keys will be 1 digit off. Changing this key fixes the problem.

but why does this happen? seems odd!

plus the original dw v2 image is 5mb or so, but when i back the image up, the image size is 7mb! and all that has been added is the small bin fix files.
 
Hi mate. Use flash wizard pro to create a backup. The file will end in .fwz.
You can then use flash wizard pro to set up the new box. If everything goes wrong you can al3ways use dreamup to put it back to normal.

ahh cool, i was using dreamup to flash the backed up image onto another 500c

maybe the fault lies there,

need to back up image using FWP and then flash using it aswell.

il give it a try tonight.

but dreamup is sooo easy to use :proud: lol

cheers dude
 
I backed up throught the DW menu and flashed with dreamup, no problems whatsoever, except do not pergorm a flash erase, when it asks say no!

have you tried putting the backed up image into temp dir via ftp, and flash through blue button, remembering the image must be called DW.img
 
I finally got mine and a friend of mine working. We have between us a dreambox 500c and a Dreambox 600pvr.

Had a number of issues, Keylist.txt would not update anymore, could ftp files from the dreambox to the PC but not back as connection was being refused.

These are the steps I taken to resolve the problems and getting everything back up and running.

1) Restored to factory default & Rescanned all the channels
2) Downloaded the AU fix & Ran it while being connected via router to the dreambox (http://www.digitalworldz.co.uk/forums/index.php?resources/2291/)
3) Downloaded Dreambox fixes on the 8th April from BigMAQ under the heading Updates/Fixes/Dreambox Fixes/8th and downloaded the Nagrarom 7,10,11 compressed file and ftp them onto the /var/keys folder and overwritten the existing files
4) Restarted the EurCam.

It all seems to be working fine. I appreciate all the effort various people put in to find a fix. I dunno if the above helps or not It is just what I have done to get back up.
