Can i Confirm

[gravedigger]

That when flashing a dbox with ifa method that the dbox should say flashing on the lcd and if theres no sign of this then bad flash?

As all i see is IFA on the screen but the last 1 i did actually stated flashing??

well there is another way of flashing....I usually ftp the img. file to the temp folder of the dbox and then go through the dbox menu to write an Image...takes about 5-8mins but works a treat.

The progress report of this method of flashing shows on your tv.

Is it that same version of IFA that you used last time?

The version from the download section should say FLASHING on the lcd when it's flashing and it will say FLASHING DONE! when it's complete. If you don't think it's doing it properly, unplug the box and plug it back in. If you have a null modem cable you can see the comms output from the box and you'll be able to see if it's actually flashing and communicating or sitting doing nothing.

A 2x box should take about 2 minutes to flash and a 1x box takes quite a bit longer...about 5 minutes.

1x boxes take upto 15min lol. 2x boxes take max 3mins.

Ok.

Thanks for all the replies. as far as im concerned as it does say done in ifa with the german text come up which i can just make out says reboot box.

So i then proceed to scan and finds all channels perfect. So far so good.

The problem, im having its stayong on a encrypted channel for a few seconds then goes off with a fat white line through a black screen. Sometimes the picture will come back and sometimes it wont but it doesnt seem to do this on freeview channels. I tried sportser uk 05 which i have never had any probs with, keywelt 3.1 and also Boxcracker which i liked very much but to no avail. Boxcracker found 188 transponders but only 9 tv channels.



This problem led to me thinking it was a bad flash??

any ideas u good people...

 

[gravedigger]

Any 1. All info is highly apreciated.

How many chips does it have
are you getting the white line on all the images you have tried so far.

its a Nokia 2x

And only tried 2 images as BC wont find channels but yeah on those 2. I use sportster uk_05 all the time and never had a prob at all with that image but this scenario is just wired

Only channels it dont seem to do it to are the Freeview 1s.

 

[krazylegz]

try changing the ucodes m8. if it loaded up in the first place it wont be a bad flash. my box never says flashing in the lcd and always works ok. just depends on which version of ifa you have

Try this one
http://world-of-digital.com/forums/showthread.php?t=60419
after flashing transfer these two files into the zapit folder
http://world-of-digital.com/forums/showthread.php?t=49759&highlight=bruteforce
then press blue button and go into cryos sporstermode and change to 1.73
reboot it should now be set to do a brute force scan.
also try ucodes as leefield as suggested
if you get the same problem with the white line post a boot log
mgb might be kind enough to check it out to see if there is a hadware fault.
hope this helps.
