    do a search for image for DM boxes in google you should be able to get plenty of them. You need to download a DreamUp software ver 1.3.2.1 and get a RS 232 or Null Modem serial cable to flash the box. Sorry, i haven't done this for a long time but do a search you should find it very simple.

    yes, you can flash it also by using your Browser if you know you box ip address, i think. I'm sure someone here can help to confirm this as i'm abit rusty with these boxes.

    The link above does not include the image that you need, it's just an operation manual for your box which i believe it would tell you how to flash the box also. You just have to do a search on Google for your image and that's it.

    if everything is working, why do you wish to flash a new image......if you have a sub to a cline, that would have to be added to your new image if you reflashed, assuming w'ere talking sat

    hi
    if your image works ok back the image up
    also using FTP program or FTP in dreambox control centre save ccam cfg file to pc from Var / Etc file
    I use telnet to back up and flash images to dm500
    if flashing image make sure the image is called
    backup.img
     
    To telnet, on pc click START > RUN and type Telnet ip.address.of.dreambox
    A command window will appear, enter username
    root and password dreambox.

    Also you can telnet with dreambox control centre
     
    Telnet Commands

    To flash an image using Telnet

    This method will only work with a .img image file.
    Rename the image file to backup.img
    FTP the image file to the /tmp folder on the dreambox
    Telnet to your box and paste the following command:
    Code:
    cd /tmp && eraseall /dev/mtd/3 && cp backup.img /dev/mtd/3 && reboot



    To backup an image using Telnet
    Telnet to the box and paste the following command:
    Code:
    cat /dev/mtd/3 > /tmp/backup.img
    FTP to the box and navigate to the /tmp
    Here you will find the backup.img file.
     
    hope this helps
    bob
