I have tried your fix it does not work for NTL Ireland, thanks all the same, so just to let others know don't waste your time as this fix does not autoroll.

I would appreciate anybodys help is there an image with the autoroll built in that I can flash onto the box with a null modem cable.

I addition I tried an new image with the null modem cable and searched via ntl bruteforce. I then ftp'ed to the box and installed nagrarom7.bin but still no luck. Am I doing something wrong or using the wrong files for NTL Ireland. I have had no problems fixing the starview boxes and even the starview clone but these dreamboxes are really confusing. Any advice would be appreciated. Thanks.

This does autoroll. Did u get the channels?



I will try my best to help fellow members.

OK guys heres an image with autoroll installed. I also added lemmings game and yatzy.

This image can be uploaded with null modem cable.

Use Dreamup to upload with Null modem.

I downloaded the autoroll through the addons on my box. So this should be a permenant fix.

Heres the image:

Been told it works in ireland mate.

If you load this image do a fresh scan of channels using bruteforce then reboot.

All goes well the cam should kick in and you'll have the channels.

hi pamela,

i believe to flash using dreamup you need a null modem cable not a crossover ethernet cable,
however you can f.t.p. using a crossover cable. i use filezilla to ftp. it is free to download from the web. just google it.

when you run this programme it asks for the boxes ip address and the user and password.

user is root and password is dreambox ( for the dm500c)
the box ip address can be found from the menu on the box using the remote control.

good luck


mark ..

Follow this procedure guys and girls.

1. You will need relevant software so that your box can be fixed properly.

Dream up, Flash Wizard. Dreambox Control Center. Extract the file and autorun the program. A small box will appear with the relevant software.

HERE>>>http://rapidshare.com/files/109770655/DreamboxForEver.rar.html



2. Now you need this imgage i have FULLY WORKING! This is a flash wizard file and need to be flashed through the flash wizard program you downloaded before. PLACE THIS IMAGE ON YOUR DESKTOP. EASY TO FIND.

Here>>http://rapidshare.com/files/109770789/working_dw2.0.fw2.html



3. Now that you have downloaded the WORKING IMAGE. Connect to your dreambox via DCC. You will need your Dreamboxes ip address for this. If you do not have it and have an image already on you box. Go into the setup, expert, communications. Your ip address will be in here.


4. Once you have connected to the dreambox. Open Flashwizard. Go into configuration and ultilies at the bottom of the box. Make sure the ip of the dreambox is the same as the one in dcc. It should be. If not change it.

Now Click Install a Firmware to flash memory. Now you will need my WORKING IMAGE. You downloaded above. Click the open folder tab. Browse for the image. Should be on your desktop as instructed above. Click open.

The image should now be visible in the box.

Now click flash image backup. This will install the image to your box.
Takes approx a minute.

Once completed reset the box. PLug into ur tv. And try.

It should now show that the flash is installed.

Do the scan using bruteforce.

Once the scan has finished check your channels. TRY SS1 FIRST. If you dont have the channel. Reboot box. This time the evocam should startup and will roll the channels.


This is the simplest way to install this image. If this doesnt work or you have problems connecting to your dreambox you will have to go down the null modem route. Please leave me a message if you have problems with this.

Thankyou

Chris[/quot


Lads It Works


I followed the tutorial word for word. Made my own crossover cat5 cable, downloaded the soft and firmware as advised and installed as per tutorial.Scanned using the N*L ie option in the service provider box and it works. Watched S*y Sports 1 and Movies in Ireland.
One problem there is a lot of duplicate channels with the same name some work some dont, but they are all there (dont know yet if this is my fault). I dont know will it autoroll but I assume it will because it decoded all channels this morning.
This box belongs to a mate so I wont have it for much longer but I still have to do my own so I will keep you posted.

Thanks for your tutorial Chris!!

thats the boxes ip address pamela.

which box are you using?

if its the dreambox you can find the boxes ip address easily enough.

i was trying to type from memory how to find the boxes ip address but i cant remember.

look above at one of chris's posts i seem to remember he posted a tutorial and somewhere in ther it tells you how to find your boxes ip address.

good luck

one other thing pamela,

if you are using a normal ethernet cable ( the type you use for connecting to the internet )

then this will not work it must be a crossover cable.

the other option if you have a hub is to connect pc to hub then hub to dreambox.

Hi guys

Im a bit new to this so was wondering if anybody could help me out. i have downloaded the tool bar and also DW Dream 1.6.2 enigma dm500-c.zip. I have also downloaded dream up. But i am a bit stuck as to what to do now. I understand that you have got to use dream up to flash your box but not sure what to do with Dw Dream 1.6.2 and also what does ypdate the box mean. When i open dream up there is two spaces for IP addresses and these have numbers in them do i need to change these at all and if so what to. I know i am probably being a bit dumb but would much appreciate somebodys help.

Cheers

so if its a null modem cable connect one end to your pc and the other to the dreambox.

start dream up

uncheck the use network box

click the drop down and select the port your cable is connected to.

click connect.

unplug your dreambox wait a few seconds then plug it back in.

if your using a null modem cable the pc will detect the dreambox and the bar will start filling from left to right until its connected.

you will get a message saying something like " the dreambox is talking to the pc"

then you simply select flash and browse for the image you want to flash onto your box.

you will be asked if you want to perfoem a flash erase click ja

this takes a while so have a cup uf tea.

when this is all done i.e. uploading image flash erasing old image and the box flashing from memory

unplug the box again for a few seconds then plug it in again

that should be it

go to a channel you know is free to view i.e. rte 2 to make sure all is working then try sly sp@rts news and leave it a minute or two.

if that doesnt come up you may have to change the keys. theres posts here on how to do that just read back a few dozen pages.

let me know how you get on

cheers !!

This is a 9 pin null modem cable

http://www.assmannusa.com/images/large/080633.jpg


turkish 18 download this image.

http://rapidshare.com/files/110010020/dw...timage.img.html

Then using the null modem cable via dreamup which can be found here

http://www.dream-multimedia-tv.de/download/DreamUP.zip

Go into dreamup uncheck use network

Your box must be off when you do this click connect and plug the box in.

Dreamup will communicate with the box and allow you to upload an image. Upload the image you downloaded at the top of the page.

Let this image install. This is a fully working image which doesnt need keys installed. Once you have installed scan using bruteforce in your area. Then try Sly Sports 1. Leave for about 1 minute till the cam picks the channel up. If this doesnt work reboot and all should be fine.

PS markarman?????

Check this out dafty:

Hi guys,

I've been busy for 1 week trying to install the fix on my Dreambox. First I just FTP'ed the Nagarom 7 file. No luck. Then I tried the DW Dream 1.6.5 imagine, and then FTP'ed the Nagarom 7 file. No luck. Then I installed the DW 2.0. image (from which I understand the fix was already installed in it). No luck. So I added the Nagarom 7 fix to this image. No luck.

Then I read about CGScott's image. Followed every step. Did a Brute Scan. Then I went to BBC 1. After waiting 10 seconds..Vioila!!! Perfect! All the channels are there, some are duplicate so it is indeed a bit messy, but it works!!! I'm so happy! All my trouble was not for nothing thanks to you Chris! BTW, I'm in Dublin, so lads in Dublin, this is what you need to do:

Thankyou for the reply smerlin

I appreciate folk getting back and letting people know this does work.

Especially in Ireland.

The reason it has double the channels is the image is uk scanned on my box and has the channels preloaded.

So once scanned in ireland using bruteforce you end up with some channels channels from uk and ireland.

If and when you are confident at loading up the images. I can send you an image that is fresh and when installed will take you straight to the search at the start.

Then when scanned using bruteforce will show only ur area laist when loaded.

Thanks again for the reply.

ps MARKARMAN: Look at that another irishman loaded and working.

Looks like you aint got the luck of the irish mate LOL!


Cheers

Chris
