DM always start up in rescue mode

[sarfraaz184]

Hi
After a power on my DM920 always start up in rescue mode.

I do not touch the front during power up
I have access to the box using LAN and it shows the normal rescue mode site
I upload the firmware to newest but after restart it again in rescue mode i tried many time but after restart it goes again in rescue mode
Any suggestions to solve the problem ?

any help?

Did you try to rescue zimage?
https://dreamboxupdate.com/opendrea...m920/zImage-rescue-3.14-r0-dm920-20200227.bin

Maybe it turns to regular boot

1. Copy this .bin to /tmp
2. Open telnet and login (via the IP address)
3. Cd /tmp
3. flash-rescue zImage-rescue-3.14-r0-dm920-20200227.bin
4. Wait 3-5 minutes. Wait for DONE info!
5. Power OFF to 10 sec and power ON.

in rescue mode telnet works but ftp not work so we do not send any file in dreambox

There are two different methods for flashing new firmware to the DM920
UltraHD, via browser or telnet / putty.
To put the DM920 UltraHD into recuse mode proceed as follows:
Browser method
1. Download and extract your image of choice.
2. Power off receiver via the rocker swith on the rear panel.
3. Power on receiver, within 0.5 of a second you must press and hold the
power button on the front panel.
You will see a sequence of colours blinking on the power button. Blue, purple
then red, then a constant blinking blue.
Release the power button when it starts to blink blue.
If you don`t see a sequence of colours blinking on the power button you
have pressed it too quickly.
Power on the receiver, with the same hand hold the power button on the
front panel.
4.Type the ip address of the DM920 UltraHD into a browser and press enter.

@sarfraaz184,

You can try out telnet console if ftp does not work.

Give this command on telnet console;

update-rescue -v

Dreambox will connect to dreambox update site.

on off touch button(sensor) broken box assumes you’re touching continuously and startup in rescue mode is initiated, needs sensor replacement

I have figured out the problem somehow. It is a hardware problem. I had a hunch that there is something wrong with the front touch button. I removed the front panel (from strip) and DM920 booted normally. Then I swapped front panel of a my another Dm900 with my DM920, and 920 booted normally. Then I tried to install DM920’s front panel to DM900. When I powered on the DM900, it went into recovery mode. Thus concluding my discovery that front panel/power-on button is faulty of my DM920.
Can someone help me that should I disconnect the front touch button somehow or change the front board altogether

I resume this old thread because I have exactly the same problem in my DM920.
Tried to upload a clean image, then tried to use the Online Recovery option. Both seem to work, but once finished the box reboots always in Rescue Mode.
I suspect a sensor fault under the front panel.
How can I remove the front panel for checking? Do you think that a good cleaning could solve the problem or the original replacement is needed? Thanks.
