it could be a bootloader problem, before flashing over lan go to device info and check the bootloader. and if its not a clone update the bootloader to r73, then you will be able to install images with r73 second stage bootloader

It is very simple.

1º - You must get from DREAMBOX the DREAMUP

2º - you must have a nullmodem cable.

3º - Connet the nullmodem cable to the DM

4º - Open the dreamup

5º - Click connect

6º - Put DM ON

7º - It begin the work.

8º - When finish, you put the image you want, after, without
disconnet

9º - It takes about 1 HOUR

10º - When it finish, you can disconnect and work as normal.

11º - The Boot now is the inicial.

Good luck

I can only go as far as "6º - Put DM ON "
DM800 shows NO IP at boot up

I flashed DM800 with gemini2-440-dm800-200907162041.nfi
now there is no ip at bootup anymore in the led display
and can not be found by any software

I don't have any null modem technology anymore

how can DM800 be reset with the original file ...

If you go to 6º:


1º - With the nullmodem you connect to de dream

2º - MAKE SURE THE PORT COM LIKE 1 OR 2 OR 3 ETC.

3º - Key CONNECT

4º - NO NEED of the IP because it is working throught the COM port

5º - It begins to work. It MUST

6º - After finish, DONT DISCONNECT AND PUT THE IMAGE THEN KEY
IMAGE. It takes about 1 hour.

7º - you must understand this. It is done with the nullmoden
nothing with the IP - Internet.

8º - After this you can put the DM OFF and take off the nullmodem
cable

9º - Put the DM on.

10º- It works with all dm.

Good luck

Hi mate

Try going in to setup communications network and ensure DHCP is on and save, take a note of the IP when your in there. Now pull the power leave 10 seconds and holding the power button down re apply power.

The IP should show in the display. If it does you can now reflash any image with the browser method.

If not check you Ethernet cable and router.

If the DM is crashed, the only way is with the DREAMUP and

nullmodem to make it O.K.

I dont know any other way.

I know that mate, macssam does not mention if the box will or wont respond to the remote just he has no IP. So we dont know if the image has crashed just there is no communication. No IP at boot could indicate the 800 is not in DHCP mode which it need to be if a IP is to be found for browser flash. It could also mean it has crashed

If the above does not help then yes is a DreamUP job.

everything works with bootloader69
but still no channels and SNR 0

I can also access DM800
when booting from Kalyway10.5.2
without any tools like Cyberduck
Cyberduck 3.2 keeps asking for login and pass

Login = root
Pass + dreambox

Assuming you have not changed them.
