Purchased e-star 3.0 sim dreambox? please help?

[ranjb]

Hi All

Right I currently have a sim2.01 dreambox with DM800 CLONE COBRA1423 IMAGES v00.4a sim2 oe2.0 ssl84d image.

I have just brought for the other room what I thought was the same type of box only to find that actually I purchased the same type of box but it has a e-star sim.

Doing a bit of reading I think I might have made a mistake as apparently this sim works differently to a sim 2.01.

Am I able to install the same image onto this box or will it not work?

If I was to upload a new first bootloader, would that work or would i screw it up?

Can I purchase a new sim2.01 for this dreambox?

If the above cannot be done. What images do I have at my disposal to use for estar 3.0?

I noticed also on this estar dreambox its using a different tuner. Its called eardatek rather than the ALPS tuner. Are there any differences between the two?

Any advice on this would be appreciated as I am sort of stuck and dont want to ruin the box by uploading an incorrect image.

Thanks

You'll need to use estar patched images if you try the sim2 image youll get the no ca error message and it can be tricky to recover from it.

Unfortunately there is no real support from estar for the 800hd

There is a converter here to patch images to work on your box but it wont work on the latest images use it on images from around the date that was posted.

Ok thats brilliant, so all I need to is use the converter with a compatible image and I should be ok?

Do I need to do anything with the first bootloader?

Thats what the patcher does it injects the ssl and drivers etc but as i said only use it on images from before the release date.
