Hi All,

I bought a DBOX2 (2xI) about 6 months ago and everything worked fine till a few days ago. Some of the channels stopped working, so I decided to do a re-scan. It found some new transponders and after editing the bouquet file to remove some channels, I went to bed. During the night we had a power failure and now when I power up my dbox, it freezes with the following text on the LCD display:

Sportster Pro
loading kernel

I have read a few posts on the forum and have downloaded various tools including DBOX2 Image Flashing Assistant. I have downloaded the latest image from:

http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/dboxj...2x.img?download

I've done the following in trying to flash the dbox.

1) Turned the power off on my dbox
2) Attached a serial cable to my dbox and pc
3) Made sure the settings on my port COM1 are correct (9600 Bits per second)
4) Installed Image Flashing Assistant on my pc and have disabled my firewall and virus scan software.
5) Selected my image
6) Selected my network adapter
7) Selected Yes to connected a nullmodemcable and selected COM1 as my port
8) I've clicked on Start and OK on the prompt
9) Powered up the dbox and I get the following message:

ydebug: DDF: Calibrating delay loop... debug: DDF: 67.79 BogoMIPS
debug: BMon V1.0 mID 01
... many more lines of code (can provide if required)

BOOTP/TFTP bootstrap loader (v0.3)
debug:
debug: Transmitting BOOTP request via broadcast
debug: Given up BOOTP/TFTP boot
boot net failed

boot: elfcopy failed: 16

I then get an error prompt in German:

"Es wurde zehn mal vergeblich vershucht die dbox.... etc etc"

Any ideas what I have done wrong here or what I need to do to fix this problem?

Thanks in advance
Alisha

Hi Harry,

Thanks for the response but I would prefer to get it fixed.

Anyone know where I can get the flash memory fixed on these?

Thanks again
