just reflash it with an image

Find a image and flash your Dreambox,
thats a good start.
OpenPli works fine.

Flash it the easy way, through a web browser:

Use IE or Opera.
Firefox has some problems with older secondstage bootloaders.

Thanks Playa4life...awesome.
I totally forget everything I will flash and get back with you!Thanks again brah!

The old DM7020 is good and I still have mine working.
Only problem is that it does not support HD channels.​

 

[mochoo]

Thanks for the update. I can't even get this thing flashed again. It won't read it on my IE.

 

[mochoo]

I haven't flashed the 7020 in a while and it won't read on my internet browser...weird. Now it is stuck on stop after I turn it on.

 

[Brummie]

i guess it has an old image on it ...?? boot it up and go to advanced settings and get the ip,then use dreamup with nullmodem cable and ethernet cable,tick use internet box, select COM1 enter the ip press on connect,now it says now switch on,switch it on from the back the status bar will fill up and the FLASH button will appear click on that.

I can.t even get it to boot up ito goes to stop and there is an IP addrress but i can't access it. I also use to use multi boot with a usb..would that matter?
Thanks Brummie...frustrating!!!

 

[Brummie]

remove the usb stick and reboot see what happens then

 

[mochoo]

I did that long time ago...shut it down bout 2 years ago and here I am now...I actually thought my box was now obsolete...by bro Geno helped me when I first got it way back...When I turn it on it use to boot up but i did something yesturday and think I erassed something..now the organge sceen comes up with an IP and ***stop*** and nothing else...I am totally stupid when it comes to this...my new lap top doesn't have a com port just usb...but everything else is wireless I have a linksys gameport hooked up to it to make it wireless.

 

[Brummie]

your problem is it needs to be connected to a router direct not wireless,then it should flash perfect with Internet Explorer

 

[mochoo]

I will try that...thanks again Brummie and please hang with my stupid self...and I am when it comes to this...much appreciate ya. I will hook it up to my router direct when I get home later.
If this works...any other steps and anything else would be great appreciated..you da man! Remember...I am Dreambox for dummies when you respond...LOL!
Thanks
Mike

Hey Brummie...after I connect directly to the router, can I use my laptop wirelessly to flash??

 

[Brummie]

yes mate that will be fine,but always best to have both the pc or laptop and receiver connected to the router

 

[mochoo]

You da man...thanks Brummie...I will let you know..wish me luck!!

 

[mochoo]

Could not flash...hooked straigt to the router and the same IP address pops up but I can't read on my computer....
