Dreambox 800se flash stuck at 1%

I have bootloader 84A... I tried many images but it still doesn't make it. I'm using my brower to flash.

Any idea ?

Hi,

thank you for your quick response. I've been trying everything all night long and nothing worked...

Here is a quick overview of what I have and what I tried :

I have a Sunray DM800se
Image was gp3-dm800se-3-2-4-ramiMAHER.
Bootloader : 84B (2011-09-01)

I used every technique described on the Internet :

Dream-up by Sunray from the sunray website.
I can flash the Bootloader (I see it changed when I flash from the web browser) but whenever I flash an image, it gets stuck at 0.39%, 1% or 0%... it happens when i use both dreamup and the browser. I tried with many different images.

I tried on IE9, Firefox 18.0.2 and Safari (latest). It used to work on safari until today.

Sometimes, the dreambox starts, I get "flash/...linux.gz" and then the LCD screen goes black, the blue light blinks for a few seconds and stops. I get the bootlogo and then Black screen...

I can access the dreambox's BIOS with telnet.

What is strange is sometimes, when the flash process get stuck and I reboot, the image's bootscreen appears but then nothing. Note that I quit the flash process after 1 hour.

Honestly... I tried every single thing and no results at all:mecry:

PS : Here is a question. Since there is only 64MB of NAND and the image is 45MB. How can it extracts itself on the dreambox since I removed the Hard Drive ? (It doesn't work either with the hard drive pluged in).

It's driving me nuts, please someone help me !!!!

I tried with :

SSL 82
SSL 84A
SSL 84B

and related images.

Moreover, I downloaded my FLASH content in the web browser interface.

It is exactly 64MB which means the NAND is completly full. I feel like it is part of the problem ?

Whoever will find the solution will be my hero forever !

Miniflashup will allow you to flash over network and mainly used for getting out ofthe no CA error, i think in this case it would be better to try with just a service cable.

I tried to do the same thing holding Mini Flashup button. Then flashed with the web browser... Same issue.

I tried with the service cable only. Took a regular usb cable with dreamup. The image went on the Dreambox very slowly. Then, the proccess get stuck at "box is flashing from its memory" and then nothing...

SO I end up rebooting the dreambox. But then if I go to the web browser again and download the FLASH which is in the dreambox it is still 64,0MB.

yep... I did it and dreamup gets stuck at "box is flashing from its memory". The progress bar moved until around 1% and then nothing again...

I begin to thin my poor DM800se is dead...

I can't believe it... I can write on the NAND but it won't install by itself...

The boot logo changed though....

Could you provide me a SSL AND an image whic match for sure ?

I'm becoming crazy with this thing...

In the end, the problem does not from talking to the dreambox since I can send files on it, access the BIOS or change the Bootloader...

However, when the box tries to flash itself from its memory, it gets stuck.

Flash the nfi version by browser before flashing the image.

So you mean, first I flash the Bootloader, then I flash the image ? Right ?

Deer Ferret, I LOVE YOU !!!

Don't know why but this time it worked !!! Could you explain me why you suggested these SSL and Image ?

All right, is the image you gave me recent and reliable ?

How can I know the good images for this ssl ?

Please give me some info so I don't intend a night like that anymore !

If you come by Brussels, I offer you the largest beer ever ! Cheers m8 !

All right, I see this image is yours !

Nice work. Although I used to have the blue panel and TS Panel...

It was easy to set up CCcam. How can I add it to your image ?

Sorry, I might sound as a noob, but I'm interested in understanding how things work and getting info about the dreambox is quite hard.
