Image For clone DM800 SE With SIM 2.10 (boot 84a) Please ?

Hi,

I have just received my dreambox DM800SE (inc. internal WiFi) from one of the Chinese suppliers and have it up and running OK.

On bootup the dm800se cycles through the "Sunray" background on screen with some Chinese text now and again. Once booted up the dm800se defaults to the English language configuration and is running on the original shipped image. I have scanned in a couple of single transponders and the dm800se seems to be OK.

I would like to replace the original shipped dm800se dreambox image with a better image in order to remove any remnants of the Chinese text characters and to be able to use any additional features offered by an image from one of the mainstream support groups.

Would anyone please be able to recommend me a good image for a clone Dreambox DM800SE and confirm what the recommended process is for flashing the image onto a clone Dreambox dm800se? The SIM version is SIM 2.1 (bootlaoder 84a) so I am not sure if I need to update the bootloader before I flash the image?

As I have SIM 2.1 (bootloader 84a), do I flash the image directly to the dreambox dm800se box using DreamUp and a null modem cable or can I use the online flashing process using the IP address of the receiver?


Any help most appreciated as I do not want to brick the dreambox dm800se due to not following the correct procedure.

The best way to flash is through the web browser,
turn off from the back,
hold power button in and switch back on,
keep holding button til you see **STOP** in the oled screen,
it will then display an ip address,put this ip address into your browser and the web flash page will load,
scroll down to firmware upgrade and then browse to your img file,

As for images it depends on what you want really,you cant go wrong with either the DW image or the DBUK image tbh,

the DW image contains the patched bootloader so you can just flash it and let it reboot (put a tick in the reboot box on web flash page)

with the DBUK one you will need to flash the bootloader straight after flashing the image BUT before you reboot (no tick in box ),just open another tab with the web flash page loaded and once both image and bootloader are flashed then you can manually reboot :)

Thanks for the info.

To confirm a couple of points:

1. Does the bootloader always need to be flashed after an image flash? I thought that the bootloader (84a or 84b) was flashed first followed by the image flash or have I got it wrong?

2. If I have bootloader 84b already in the DM800 SE and I wish to update the image, can I just flash with a new image or do I need to flash the bootloader again?

As I said if the image is prepatched for sim2.10 then you dont need to flash the bootloader after,if its not prepatched then you do

You only need to flash the bootloader first if your bootloader version is less then the one in the image :)

Ah, OK, got it now.

I have managed to flash the box with bootloader 84b from the previous version of 84a and then flashed the DW image and it is all running OK.

Many thanks for your help.

I feel I will be following suite, but just wanted to thank Wiz/pimp for the info

I think the DW image sounds easiest and contains it all so will use that one with my dreambox 800se

just one question do I need a usb flash drive or will it access the image from my pc via network ?
 
Re: Image For clone DM800 SE With SIM 2.10 (boot 84a) Please ?

When flashing through the browser just point it to the image stored on your pc.

Make sure your box is connected to your network, either hard wired or over wifi.
You say you have CCcam installed and your clines restored, make sure to turn CCcam on!!!

Good luck

Not to mention your lines might be dead?

Yes I'm sure it's connected to wifi network do you any link how restore clines ?
 
Re: Image For clone DM800 SE With SIM 2.10 (boot 84a) Please ?

Do you know how to restore clines and how to check clines are dead ??
 
Re: Image For clone DM800 SE With SIM 2.10 (boot 84a) Please ?

If you have flashed a new image, it is gone.

Do you not have a copy of it in your emails? You need to transfer it back into a file called CCcam.cfg located in /etc/

How can I flash the bootloader?

How can I flash the bootloader?

first you must download bootloader ensure you have correct one for the image you wish to flash or have on box
dependent on your box you will need also dreamup patched or the sunray version and follow the tutorial how to flash clone box in the stickies menu.you flash bootloader the same as you flash an image..its just way quicker flash.
