done all that about 30 odd times but the box never gets detected. When I switch on the DM800 the front display shows No CA Found so cant even use the HTTP method
 
try japher flasher should be able to recover
 
been a while but never failed to recover box yet
 
Starting to think you have a serial port problem or the cable is not a null modem cable.

that's my thought here, going to order a new one today. the cable is null modem as used it before to recover DM500

- - - Updated - - -

have you tried NCF Repair Tool

no not tried that one, will give it a go
 
if used cable before then no need for a new one can you access other pc to try

only other is a laptop with Windows 7 but no serial port, this desktop I have used a few times - I set it up with XP for such a purpose, to flash DM500 and Skybox using Null modem cable and never had issues before
 
anyone willing to see if they can flash it for me if I send box off or better if you local to west Yorkshire I can pop over with the box
 
you have the tools needed so pointing to box issue then ? but wouldnt give up
 
The cable may be faulty, did a loop back test on the null modem cable and it fails
 
I managed to get a usb to serial and connected it to my laptop running Windows 7

DreamUp detects the DM800 now but nothing else

however using NCF Repair Tool I get this error

Power ON DB Device [ESC to Abort]
Operation Start at: 20:35:54
DM800HD Detected !
Wrong Boot Response!

any ideas what to do next

Wrong Boot Response can mean a problem with this sim remove clean and try again. It can also mean a communication problem.

hoe easy is it to remove sim and clean it ?
 
Pop your nail in the hinged lid part of the sim holder and gently push back to the hinged. Bit like on older type mobile phones.

Very delicate be careful.

done that .. still same problem

ordered a new null modem cable from amazon so should be here tomorrow
