I have flashed a few boxes using both methods and they work.
Thanks to cgscott, not me!!!!!

You will need a nullmodem cable!!

Use the null modem cable. No dreambox ip is neccessary. Use the null modem cable from A PC , not from a usb/laptop to serial.

Welcome back Satlinksw

Lucas2007.... previous post....
Unfortunately the null modem cable (rs232) can be wired different ways for differing applications http://www.lammertbies.nl/comm/info/RS-232_null_modem.html

Here`s how I believe it should be wired ...
Pin 1 - Not Connected
Pin 2 - Goes to Pin 3 on the other end
Pin 3 - Goes to Pin 2
Pin 4 - Goes to Pin 6
Pin 5 - Goes to Pin 5
Pin 6 - Goes to Pin 4
Pin 7 - Goes to Pin 8
Pin 8 - Goes to Pin 7
Pin 9 - Not Connected

Ebay £3...

When you go to Maplins, get yourself a USB Serial Converter (30+EUR). It will allow you to connect your null-modem cable to your Dreambox via a standard USB connection. Download "DreamUP", download whatever image you desire, and then use DreamUP to flash it to your box. Dreamup will automatically invade and set your IP.

i got a dreambox 500c from my mate to fix and have loaded several of the dw images with null cable but cannot get it to autoroll. i followed cgscott's tutorial and used his working image. i scanned with brute and picked up 121 tv channels which is nearly all of them in dublin on ntl but can only view the fta channels. i have also tried rebooting and restarting evocam 212 but no joy, do i have to ftp the updated roms as well? appreciate any help, thanks

Switch to a working channel, go to manual scan, enable network search ONIT BAT, start the scan.

I'm having similar problem. N*L Dublin, No problem flashing, scan using bruteforce, can find transponder but cannot find any channels, have a starview working fine, any ideas, probably something simple?

Try scanning your local area NTL cable ie instead of using "Bruteforce"
