:clapping:

That's a great news !

You did it with a simple JTAG (5 x 100 ohms resistors) adapter ?

I haven't got 100 ohms resistors at home (only have 220 ohms and higher...) but will buy some on monday.

Thank you very much for your feedback.


PS : On my other DM500S, I've installed Nabilo-V08 and it works like a charm.
The only thing I haven't found yet is the "Quick-button" menu to allow recording when "Radio" button is pressed...

Yes simple jtag 5x100 ohms 20cm wires (only network is not working now maby mac address)

Need different mac:adress in binary network do not work with 00:00:00:00:00

You mean that the MAC adress is set to "00:00:00:00:00:00" in the bootloader ?
Setting it to "00:09:34:..." in "init" file is ok, or is there something else to do before flashing with JTAG ?

So you can't find a good bootloader bin ?

Is there a software to read the bootloader of a working DM500S ?
If so, I can make a dump next week (as soon as I get 100 ohms resistors).

Hi, I've a 500c, and I've flashed it like you said. It Works, but I've no turner. I think this is becouse I need a Cable Bootloader.... Do you know where to get it ??

Thanks in advance

I'm afraid I don't know.

All I can tell you is that the best way to get it would be reading the bootloader from a working box

Yes, but, how can I read it ?? I have one ok, I have Jtag... But I don't have software...
Do you know wich one could I use ??

No, unfortunatly, I don't !

And I think it is code protected... so you have to write a specific byte in order to be able to read something else than FFs.
Not so easy in fact. ;(

I don't have a clone to test these but here are some DM500 bootloaders:

Code:

Use at your own risk (but if your box is dead what have you got to lose?).
