Dreambox 600PVR Flashing Guide.....
This guide takes into account that you know how to use FTP and TELNET software and also that you know how to use a web browser such as internet explorer.....if you don't know how to use any of these tools please stop now and get someone who does to flash your dreambox. This guide also will show you how to flash the dreambox very fast using a web browser instead of using dreamup.
Firstly this guide assumes you have the dreambox default image on your dreambox and also the dreambox is connected to a router (you will need the dhcp server on the router turned on to give the dreambox an IP address).
OK make sure your dreambox, router and pc are turned on - go into the router settings to make sure DHCP is turned on, then start the dreambox - goto MENU/SETUP/Expert setup and look at the settings that show the dreambox IP address...this will probably look like 192.168.xxx.xxx - you will need to write this number down. If the number starts with 10.xxx.xxx.xxx - dhcp is not turned on and your dreambox does not have an ip from the router - STOP NOW!!!
OK you have the IP address - so lets get started....
You will need the following files...the image(pli-henelite) and the extra files(cams/keys/services/cables.xml and a few others). The services and boquets included are for east central scotland, you can replace these with your own if you are in a different area.
Here you go then...

The Extra Files
Good shit, you now have everything you need and should be watching TV in around 10 minutes time.
Firstly we are gonna corrupt the bootloader so we can flash via a web browser - rather than dreamup as this is much,much,much faster and only takes about 3 minutes instead of half an hour. We will need to telnet into the dreambox to do this.
Imagine the dreambox ip address is/was 192.168.1.147
open command promp and type "telnet 192.168.1.147" - the login is - root
copy and paste the following commands into the command prompt box after you have logged in to the dreambox.
Now the dreambox will reboot - once rebooted the dreambox won't come on.
Open up internet explorer and type in the address bar 192.168.1.147 (you DB IP address)
When the web browser page loads - you should select "flash new firmware"
browse to the pli-henelite image you downloaded and flash that image...it will take around 2-3 minutes. Once the image is flashed turn the dreambox off at the wall and then back on - the dreambox will now boot up into the new image....now for the fun bit....the dreambox will take a few minutes to boot and eventually show a screen TV SYSTEM WIZARD...change these settings to what you require then press the green button on the remote control to save. Select your language and then press ok, then select the timezone you require..once again save by pressing the green button.
At this point ignore the transponder scan as we are not going to scan for channels as I have already attatched some in the extra files you downloaded. Just press EXIT on the remote control, then exit again.
Now we are gonna ftp the extra files I posted to the root of the dreambox.
Ftp 192.168.1.147 port 21 - username root, password dreambox
ftp the etc and usr dirs over to the dreambox root dir - overwrite everything if prompted.
chmod 755 the following
usr/keys/everything in here
usr/bin/evocamd+mgcamd
close the ftp manager now..we don't need it anymore.
Next we are gonna telnet back into the dreambox....as before telnet 192.168.1.147 - login - root
paste this command:
exit telnet
Open internet explorer or your default web browser and type this in the address bar:
Now get the dreambox remote contorl and press MENU/SHUTDOWN/RESTART ENIGMA
Once enigma resarts your screen will still be black....press the blue button on the remote
Select Softcam Setup
Select Default Softcam and change it to evocamd 2.14 then press green to save and start the cam
If everything went well - you should be clearing decrypted channels.
Next press MENU/SETUP/HARDWARE SETTINGS/REMOTE CONTROL/ - where it says default enigma - change it to classic neutrino - then green to save.
Press exit
Press System Settings/User interface settings/OSD options/ where is says enable fast zapping - click this so the green arrow dissapears - press exit thress times and select shutdown/restart enigma.
That's all folks....happy viewing.
