Hi Digitalworldz!
My dad recently bough an DM800HD se running Enigma II. He has also bought 1 months worth of CCcam. Problem is it doesnt work. And now its up to me to fix it. Im about as much of a noob as you can be at this stuff. Ive been reading guides and tutorials on every page possible but i am not getting any smarter.
So i come here very humbled, asking for help.

What my dad has managed to do so far is to connect the dreambox to our WIFI and set up a few channels that are free.

Any links or help for understanding what all this terminology (clones, c lines, emu etc) or how to set up this dreambox would be greatly appreciated.

Cheers
Arush
 
What is the image? Where/how can i check this?
I have not installed anything too it. I saw a guide somewhere that told me to transfer the Cccam.cfg to /etc using DCC, which i did, but no change.
 
When you box boots up are there any clues to what image you have installed ?

A boot screen with the image name on ?

@bobby123 what are clones?
@Ferret WHenever i boot up my dreambox its just an image of the dreambox on it.

First thing you need to know is if you have a clone and if so what type.

Do you have a gold sticker underneath saying sim2.1 also look at the small screen when you boot it may tell you on there.

There is no golden sticker underneath. Just a white one with a serial# and the MAC adress. You can see how my startup screen looks here imgur: the simple image sharer

Should be another image popup after that one.

Your going to have to take the lid off take a look at the sim and describe it ! Until we know what sims in your box we can not advice you any further.

There is no secondary image. Just the one i linked to.
Regarding the SIM it looks like the ones for phones (pre-smartphone era). The sim has a golden sticker on it with 4 chineze characters on it.

EDIT: Bought from china if thats of any help?

Image=Operating system/software.

e.g
Pli 2.1, Pli 3.0, Pli 4.0, OpenATV 3.0, Dreamelite enigma, Blackhole etc.

You can find out by pressing
Menu > Information > About

As you have an A8P sim, you should use images that have the genuine bootloader on it. Even though you have a clone receiver.

If you use an image with a Sim 2 bootloader built in, you must flash the genuine bootloader prior to rebooting.

So i checked. I have Enigma2 (2012-11-03) release (3.2.4)

What image do you recommend fo the DM800HD se? Focus should be on stability/speed as no one in my family is that tech savy, i just want to get this fixed and then have my parents watch their shows in peace :p

Flashing a new firmware by Browser

What you need to flash
You need the image file you want to flash. Image files have the extension *.nfi. You can't flash other
images like *.img files. Don't try it - it won't work.
You need either a DHCP server, a configured bootloader or a serial cable and a terminal program
like HyperTerm.
You need a browser, and a network cable. If you connect the Dreambox directly to the PC,
you need a cross cable, if you connect trough a switch/hub/router you need a normal
(non-cross) cable.
To flash a new image, you can use the second stage loader. It must be present and not broken.
The following steps assume you have a DHCP server.
If you don't have one, you have to setup an IP address in the bootloader's serial setup.


- Power down the Dreambox, either using "shutdown" and by removing the power connector.
Standby is not enough!

- (1.) Press and hold the power button. Replug the power connector into the Dreambox.
- (3.) A text "*** STOP ***" should appear. Now you can release the button.
The bootloader entered the "waiting" mode.
- (4.) Above the "*** STOP ***" text, there should appear an IP-address
(four decimal values with a dot in between). If there appears the string "dhcp" instead,
the box still searches for a DHCP server. Wait a bit. If it doesn't change, something doesn't
work with the DHCP server. Check wether network cable is plugged in etc. If it just doesn't
work, set an IP using the serial terminal

- Now, open a browser on your PC.
(1.) enter in the address line "http://ip/" (where ip must be replaced with the value in the LCD).
- (2.) on the bottom of the page, there's a link called "firmware upgrade". Click it.

- On the next page, you can select the flash image you want to flash. be sure that it has the ".nfi" extension.
You can't flash other images (like .img)!
- Click on "FLASH!" and wait. It might take some time to upload and flash the image.
- Switch the box off again, and on again. The new image should be flashed and working.
