First of all this image is for the CLONE DREAMBOX DM800se, hopefully in the very near future we will also be porting this image to the other dreambox receivers.

I would like to thank the coders, plugin creators, image makers, beta testers, and everyone involved in this amazing dm800se image!

It is in my opinion just like the previous images made by the DW TEAM, amazingly stable, easy to use, always supported by us.

Installation (for those that are not sure):
There are many ways to install images on the dreambox dm800se, so I will just give some advice on the one I use, and find the easiest method!

1) You will need to put your box into boot mode, hold down the standby button while powering on the box, you will see there is a ip address on the box screen.

2) With that IP address on the front of the box, go into your browser, and type in the address into a the address bar.

EXAMPLE:
Code:
You don't have permission to view the code content. Log in or register now.

3) You will find a new screen (boot screen) that looks like this:
View attachment 63398
(if you do not see this screen you have done something wrong, maybe not held down the standby button long enough?)

4) From the picture above I have highlighted the Firmware Upgrade button ---> Click it.

5) This next screen is where you upload the new image found at the top of this page.

6) Click the "select file button" and select the location of the "digitalworldz-V1-dm800se.nfi" file
* We take it you have already un-rared it from the file in post 1

NOTE: I personally had allot of trouble trying to get chrome to upload the file - and had to use Internet Explorer - which worked first time.

7) Once you have found your file then you need to press "FLASH"

8) Grab a tea or a juice (beer even???), this will take a few minutes to flash the image to your box.

9) Once the image has flashed you should see this screen:

View attachment 63400


10) So it should be all flashed and your new image is ready to go!!!


TROUBLE SHOOTING

Image did not flash, instead it gave me older file error?

This is probably something that a small minority will face:
But it is perfectly normal!
You need to flash the updated bootloader first, all you need to do is follow the instructions above to point 6 and instead of putting the digitalworldz nfi put in he bootloader file.

Latest Boot Loader To Date

This flash should take a second or two as its a very small file, now repeat the steps above but with the digitalworldz nfi file and it should work now.

I will update this post with further trouble shooting when problems arise.
