If it doesn't ping, try a crossover cable, if it still doesn't, something else is wrong.ĬOM port - The serial com port used to connect to DB. To test which you need - Plug a normal RJ45 from PC into DB - DB can be fully running, in NHF mode or in Upload mode. You won't need a crossover if your PC & DB are both plugged into a hub/router.

RJ45 Patch lead - RJ45, either normal or crossover - modern PCs usually have auto crossover ports, so just a normal lead is usually required. Serial cable - DB9 Null modem serial cable Wait - At least 30, preferably 60 seconds waiting timeīL - Boot loader 2nd stage - Initializes the box and lets the actual image load - Wrong BL = No boot! - We will only be using. Plus makes a nice grounding for Barry Allen (look it up, I might do an idiot's guide to that sometime if neededĮven though this is long the actual procedure is quite quick. I use Oozoon lean images for speed, lightweight and ease of use - you'll see why later. If like me, your serial is a fatty you may have to unplug the DVI to get it in, since you don't need video output for the important flashing bits, feel free, as I do to leave the DVI & sat cable out until needed. I am going to assume that you will be either carrying the DB to your PC or vice versa and therefore will have BOTH a serial AND an RJ45 connection available. If using a BL lower than 70 Then ONLY replace the tuner file (bcm7401.ko) AND NOT the card reader (stb-core.ko) or the box will hang and you'll probably end up starting again.

Personally tested on 1xBL#70, 3xBL#72 and 2xBL#74 (my BL74 seems to be hacked and appears to be a BL72 in disguise **to be confirmed** - it doesn't matter really and I use #72) but no reason why same procedure can't be used with other BLs. Nearly every connection at the back is live with power in and you are risking a fatal short. NEVER unplug any cables especially the power and sat cable (unplug power before sat cable) while powered on. DON'T DO IT! (Please correct me if you’ve waited longer than a day and this is the only way – otherwise I don’t wanna know) It seems insane to me and you are asking for something to blow - Quick or possibly dead – your choice. I don’t agree with the widely spouted idea of quickly inserting and re-inserting the power until your box comes alive again. You'll probably want to download your bouquets / sat data using Dreamset or Dreambox edit before following this procedure, otherwise, when you're done, they'll all be wiped and you'll have to scan.ĭon't get eager between unplugging the power and re-inserting - you can trip the surge protection and that just means unplugging and waiting even longer (can be hours, even overnight!) for it to discharge before re-inserting. You can substitute relevant bits for wireless if you must.įind out what 2nd stage boot loader your DB is running (watch the display carefully as you insert power, will be probably be something like #72 or #70, if you flash and get a CA error try backtracking with earlier versions) I would never flash anything over wireless, so this guide is for cabled only. Feel free to criticise or point out errors. Thanks also to the various authors of software and posters of information I've unashamedly ripped off - Chouchou, Way75, Mfaraj57, Ferret, Brummie and all the other people I've nicked off - hopefully it's pretty comprehensive.
