TM 500 & TM 600 HOW TO LOAD A UR IMAGE credits go to the author

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
First of all get the reciever all wired up before hitting the power make sure network cable is in...
open the front flap and hold your finger down on the power button then flick the power switch on at the back, KEEP YOUR FINGER HELD DOWN ON THE FRONT POWER BUTTON, keep it there until you see a number, now this number will be the end part of its ip address for example if it says 3 your ip address for the box will be 192.168.1.3 or obviously if your router has a different ip combination it will be the last digit of the ip address.
Now open up your internet browser on your pc and in the address bar just type out the IP address then click go this will then let you in to the technomate loading portal all you do is click browse which will be the location of the UR image you have downloaded find it and then double click, then click download, the image will now go in, once finished it will say done on the front panel just restart the machine..
YOUR STILL NOT DONE!!!!!
its very important you first do a factory reset
so press ok on english and then just exit out of the rest until you come to the enigma info bar press menu on remote goto setup, then expert setup, then factory reset...once restarted the box is then ready to go
TIP: blue x2 lets you to the blue panel download where you can get latest channel list etc>>>>>
latest software here:Download center

hope this helps m8 press thanks button if it does :)

so how did you get on vinny ?

i tried it with the last digit and nothing happened then tried it with the 3 digits which appeared on tm500 as it said to do this on pdf. i get miniweb but when try to update i get flash failed check firmware,

i selected update rather than reset factory settings then browsed the tm500_update. also tried with TM500_02-07-2009-orginal

is this the wrong file?

if its a tm500 super you use a tm600 image, regular tm500 use tm500 image.

this is what i've read elsewhere on this forum, dont have 1 myself but i tink its accurate.
 
where did you get ya image from cos the link i gave you was for the software you asked for tm500 ?

just realised u had linked the software, i downloaded it from the sticky il try that after work

it will open free to air channels ,put the latest software on it ,then a lot of people use these boxes to connect to a server , its the server you connect to that will tell you what channels can be opened , hope this helps m8
 
there is always the technomate loader all you need to do is get your ip addy for box and load firmware through network or null modem lead
