Quick guide to getting the Neutrino.DREAM image running on a Dreambox DM500-c
This guide assumes you already have a Neutrino.DREAM+ image with cable support.
I've based this guide on the Neutrino.DREAM+ 1106Z Image.
And you have already connected the dreambox to the PC/Laptop via ethernet cable (Patch or X Over).
You should also install a ftp client such as CuteFTP.
Make sure you have the following files, are included with this guide.:
cables.xml
zapit
Autoupdate.Key
the 6 nagra rom bins eg. nagraepr10.bin
and addon_mgcamd.bin which should have been included with the original Image.
Firstly you need to download FlashWizzard PRO from the following website:
http://www.satnews.it/ricevitori/dreambox/flashwizard/index.shtml
Now unzip the files (I put mine in a folder on my desktop for easy access).
Next we need to Setup your PC's network:
Goto Control Panel then Network Connections.
Find the connection which your Dreambox is connected to, right click on it then goto properties.
Now click on Internet Protocol TCP/IP and then properties.
Now put 192.168.0.4 as your IP address (or whatever you prefer, if you already know what your doing.) and 255.255.255.0 as your subnet mask.
Click OK to close the Internet Protocol TCP/IP Properties window and again to close the Network Connection Properties window.
Your network settings should now be saved.
Now you need to setup the dreambox's network.
If your using an enigma based image eg. the dreambox's original software or a Gemini image:
Press the Dream button on the remote.
Go into Setup, Expert setup then Communication Setup.
Set your IP address to 192.168.0.3 (assuming you used 192.168.0.4 for your PC's IP) and your subnet mask to 255.255.255.0
Make sure DHCP is off and Enable network in on.
Save your settings then exit.
If you already have a Neutrino based image on:
Press the Dream button.
Go into Settings then Network
Make sure DHCP is off
Set your IP address to 192.168.0.3 (assuming you used 192.168.0.4 for your PC's IP) and your subnet mask to 255.255.255.0
Now press Setup Network Now, exit, save settings now, exit then exit again.
Now to flash the dreambox.
Run flashwizzard pro.
Fom the options on the left side of the window click Configuration and Utilities.
In the Connecting parameters put 192.168.0.3 as the Dreambox IP, leave the login and password as root and dreambox unless you've changed them previously.
Next choose Install a firmware into FLASH memory from the options on the left.
Click on the folder icon and locate the image you wish to load onto the dreambox, in this case were using dm500_nplus_1106Z.img (or drag and drop the image where it says to in this window).
Choose yes when asked if your sure you want to restore the backed up image.
The dreambox's memory is now been flashed, be patent and wait until theis process is complete and interrupting may kill your box.
Once the flashing is complete and your box is rebooted you will be asked to choose the language Neutrino will use, english will probably already be selected if noe select it then press back. Also you will get a message saying you have no channels and need to do a scan.
You will now have to set up the network settings on the dreambox again, folow the instructions no how to setup the network on a neutrino based image as shown above.
Theres a few modifications we need to the image to enable it to scan UK cable, decrypt channels and AU keys.
Open your FTP client and create a connection to 192.168.0.3 using root/dreambox as the username/password.
Now browse to /var/bin and copy the zapit file that was included in this zip to the /var/bin directory.
Once the file is copied over you need to change the access rights for the file, If using CuteFTP right click on the file and choose CHMOD / Properties, Set the permissions to 755, click ok to save the changes.
Copy the following files (included with this guide) to the following directories:
Autoupdate.key - /var/keys
the 6 nagra roms - /var/scce
cables.xml /var/tuxbox/config
Browse to /tmp and copy the addon_mgcamd.bin (included with dm500_nplus_1106Z.img image) there.
Press the DREAM button on the remote goto Service, Software update. Change the Updatemode to manual (ftp) now search for update.
You should see addon_mgcamd.bin listed move onto it and press OK, choose yes to install the camd.
When it's finished installing reboot the box.
Now we need to do a scan.
Press dreambox on the remote.
Goto Service then Service scan.
Change cable provider to CableUK Sym6952 or CableUK Sym6887 depending on the symbol rate used in your area.
Change scan mode to Full
Turn manual scan off and start scan.
When the scan is finished go back into the Service menu and choose Reload channel lists.
Go into the Bouquet editor and use the red button to delete all the bouquets, when done exit the screen and save when asked.
You should now have all your channels but only the freeview ones are viewable.
Press dream then goto Addons, choose Mgcamd settings and turn Autoupdate on, save settings.
Now chhose mgcamd as the camd and Restart the camd.
If all's gone right in a few seconds your channels should clear
And your finished. Well done.
You can now rearrange your channels by using the Bopuquet editor in the service menu. Create a new bouquet then Add channels.
