You need image converter mate
Simple to use programme but not sure if it's still held on here.
If no one posts it here by this time tomorrow I'll fire up my old netbook and see if I can find it for you
 
cheers mate i tried to put an ultaphat image on it supposed to be 1x but it came up kien system when it had finished
 
can you get a 1x image from anywhere. there was convertor software but its scarce now, sure it was called DreamWorld DBox2 Image Converter

i got dbox flashed with 1x image but all i get is blank green screen
i am trying to use flashfxp to get into box but getting now where with it its a newer version than the one i used to use
anybody any tips?
 
Do you get a boot logo before it goes green or not
have you tried flashing a 1x image from the downloads to rule out the software i uploaded
Have you tried the other scart socket and or a different scart lead?

flashfxp usename root pass dbox or dbox2
Are you using a ethernet crossover cable
Have you set your network card up correctly ie 10BaseT_halfduplex

Have a read of this

tried root dbox and dbox 2 still wont connect

Sorry I've not followed all of this thread but you won't be able to connect to the dbox via FTP if it isn't booting, it simply wouldn't have an IP address till its fully booted and yes you would need to know the IP address before you could connect to it. The IP is assigned by your router once the box is fully booted, I've not had a dbox for years, as I recall the only way to flash a dead box is via null modem
 
Once you find the box with kein system you need to flash the box using IFA ( Image Flash Assistant ) together with a null modem cable
After flashing the box correctly you need to find the box IP from the network settings then set up your local network using a static IP one less than the box IP at 10 half duplex
Connect your pc to your box using the null modem cable then you should then be able to connect to your box with any FTP client using
User = root
Password = dbox2

Try a different version of IFA
Don't know if hallenberg.com are still around ?
 
Hi again mate,

Like I said try a different version of IFA, there was a portable version where you only needed a crossover cable for it to work.

Are you certain that the image flashed onto the box ?? When the box is flashing the LCD will say 'FLASHEN' or 'FLASHING' then when it is complete the LCD will say 'FERTIG' with some smiley faces, its only then that you disconnect IFA.

Also I noted that you are trying to flash a commando image. If you flash it correctly then want to FTP the user is root and the password is commando.

im getting all this and when it finishes with the smiley faces i close ifa then turn box off but when i switch box back on the lcd is green and comes up no signal on tv
i have tried flashfxp with root and commando but i can see me having to pay for new window as this will be out on the street shortly
cheers for your help

If the commando image is deffo the correct chipset for the box then you can flash it using the box and remote control.

FTP to the box then transfer the commando image to the tmp folder.

Using remote go to service menu > software update / flash image > flash without bootloader then select commando image then flash. A progress bar will tell you when its done.

I think the above is correct but its years since I flashed a dbox2.

Im glad you've got the box working, I was going to offer you one for free if it was fekked !!!!!
