gotta 500c new and tried to connect with dreamup but it werent having it with the rs232.it eventually let me connect via ftp so i fired DW_V2.img over to the tmp folder and renamed it root.cramfs and flashed from there .now i cant connect it via xover cable or rs232 and there's nothing on the tv.
it lights green on the box and the pc says "connection ok" ( plus the little green ethernet connection light inside lights up) when i power the box up but there's nothng on my tv picture and ftping is a no no.is there anyway to unbrick this ? basically get a flash into it .i can lift the tsop and reprog if needed but im unsure if that's were nfo is held.
 
Is that a normal rs232 cable you are using or is it a null modem cable?
 
try using dream up and put on the original image for the box

i cant get dreamup to recognise the box.its definalty the right cable as i have 3 boxes in my house , living room/kitchen/bedroom and no problems connecting with the others.
it just hangs like i havnt turned the power on.
 
The question is not a network connection. You need a proper nullmodem cable.
