[rpbpaul]

I am looking for an idiot's step by step guide for dm800hd se clone. I think I may have allready done harm to my device.I messed up the first image [vu+ blackhole]. The only image I can get to boot up now is blackhole 1-6-6.Which wont allow me to add any plugins [picons etc].
Thank you in advance, I am an enthusiast but a complete novice.

Before we can help you need to tellus us if your boxes is a clone or not and if it is a clone, what sim group it has.

Flash this image then it has got all your need

Youll need 5 good posts and then need to wait 24hrs for your download privileges to start.

As I said before I am new to all this, so please bear with me. I have tried to flash different images to the box, two did complete, others failed.
I got a message [invalid something ?].
I have been using a usb to mini usb cable to connect pc and box, and an ethernet cable from box to the router with Sunray Flashup.
I can not download your image to try it out until tomorrow, as I am new to DW. I will let you know how things progress.
Thank you for being so prompt and understanding.

Best way to flash is via browser

The invalid message could just meean you bootloader is old and need updating give us the full error message so we can be certain.

Hi again.
When I enter my ip address in the browser I cant get the page you show,I am using chrome. Is the flash method using a mini usb cable sufficent.
As far as I can recall when my attempts to flash failed the message I got was INVALID IMAGE or OLD VERSION How do I upgrade or update the bootloader.
Yes the box has a mini flash button.

Thank you once again

 

[alimac]

error above usually bootloader issue

make sure bootloader matches image you flash

use mini flash feature

hold button in power up enter the ip address it shows into your browser

try a few browsers although all work fine for me

You can not flash via browser with just the service minport cable.

Use just a ethernet cable from your router to the DM

Power Off at the plug
Press and hold the front button in and power on, keep the button pressed in till you see the IP on the small screen of your box.
Use that IP in your broswer to get the the firmware upgrade page.
Flash the 84d ssl bootloader then the image i linked to earlier.

Job done.

Try Now mate.

I downloaded the image you gave me, but I had no success with the flash.
I connected to the box via ethernet and mini usb using sunray flashup, I then flashed the sim 2 update,that worked fine. I then tried to flash the image, but I got a message 010 INVALID OR OLD IMAGE box will be unsable.
I don't know what to do now, For some reason I cannot connect via the chrome browser.

Thank You

Think ive mentioned it 3 times now and you seem to be ignoring the advice. Use just a Ethernet cable and flash via browser IE is your best option.

Flash the 84d ssl first the nfi version by browser then the image

SSL attached for you

 

[rpbpaul]

Hi
I am not ignoring you,I have noted evrything you are telling me to do,and I appreciate your help very much. The thing is for some reason I can not connect to the box through the browser.

Thank You

 

[alimac]
