[Dreambox 500c] Flash Error

[Dazza]

do you erase the flash memory when changing the image on the box m8,

Thanks for the reply Digi, yes, always choose the erase option, but it still goes wrong...? It really narks me I have to say...! Never had this trouble with the old Dboxes, but on the Dreams, it's a different story...

The telnet method beats all others hands down.

ftp yourimage.img to /tmp (not /var/tmp)

telnet to box (root / dreambox) and paste in this command (make sur name of image matches your own)

cd /tmp && /bin/eraseall /dev/mtd/3 && cp yourimage.img /dev/mtd/3 && reboot

Nice one Rickets, thanks for that. I shall keep that info handy and try it next time I flash my box...
