Hi,
I have a problem with my new DM900. when I put the box in rescue mode it does not show the IP address under the rescue mode therefore I can not do any flashing. could someone help me? for your information I switched on and off the DHCP but useless, and nothing has been changed. is there anything in the DM900 setting which should be changed?
thanks
Dreambox DM900 IP address in rescue mode

update the rescue loader first
-
Could you please inform me how? this is the first time im working with dream box. when I put the box on rescue mode then I can not connect the box to htttp://DM900!
thanks -
first your routershould know the ip adress he sent when dhcp is on.
-
ok, I know that I can get the DM900 IP from the router, but what then? could you please write me the process? how can I update the rescue loader?
I think I should download (zImage-rescue-3.14-r0-dm900-20170530.bin) to the box but I don't know how to do it!
I can not communicate with my DM900, even when I have the DM900 IP. -
if the ip is known you can open via browser, telnet and ftp. You ftp the rescue kernel to /tmp and then use flash-rescue script in telnet
but it would be less risky to flash a recent OE2.5image with browser and use update-rescue command in this image.

Hi,
thanks for help. I did it and I got this message.(attached file) now can I go to rescue mode to check? -
now I went again to rescue mode. its writing me rescue mode, waiting for DHCP
when I write http://DM900 in my pc browser I get nothing. what should I do now?
thanks -
I had never seen the IP address on the DM900 LCD when i get in to the Rescue Mode.
And also the displayed URL http://dm900/ don't work.
But the router (also a Asus) give him always a IP form DHCP, just the DM900 don't display it.
You can get to the router WebIF to see the given IP, or better you only set one time a Manual IP Assign in your DHCP Server to your Dreambox and you have always the same IP Address. -
Hello,
thank you all for your support
the problem was in my connection to the router. when DM900 connected to router by WIFI then it will not show your IP address. i connected my DM900 via cable to the router and it showed me the IP address. maybe someone will face a same issue so here i put the command to write it in the PUTTY telnet. the commands are as follows:
Code
1.wget http://www.dreamboxupdate.com/….14-r0-dm900-20170113.bin
2.flash-rescue zImage-rescue-3.14-r0-dm900-20170113.bin
3. apt-get update && update-rescue -v1 - first type first command (wget http://www.dreamboxupdate.com/….14-r0-dm900-20170113.bin)
the message you should get:
opendreambox 2.5.0dm900
the login name will be root and you should not write anything as password
dm900 login: root
Password:
root@
you should type cd /tmp
dm900:~# cd /tmp
root@
2 - second type: flash-rescue zImage-rescue-3.14-r0-dm900-20170113.bin
dm900:/tmp# flash-rescue zImage-rescue-3.14-r0-dm900-20161208.bin

and last the 3-rd command:
3. apt-get update && update-rescue -v -
This is absolutely normal: You cannot flash the box via Wifi, it will only get an IP address when connected via cable... I just searched the manual: Unfortunately this is not stated there explicitly.

Good afternoon,
I would like to ask a question regarding the update of the "zImage-rescue-3.14-r0-dm920". I performed the update with the "update-rescue -v" command, having a DMM image of July 2019 in the flash. I would like to know if you updated me to the last available rescue, or took into account the age of the flash image? Is there a command to check which version of "zimage-rescue-3.14-r0-dm920" is installed? Thanks so much.
