Dreambox DM800HDSE v2

  • Hi Guy's.
    I am trying to re-image a DM800HDSE v2 with a new image using my web browser.
    Every image I tried reported a bad architecture.
    I then found it flashed up No CA and went into stop mode, run flashup.




    I have tried dreamup and Sunray flash up but when I switch the box on after flashup say's conection made, neither of the flashup programs respond with the box type and neither uploads the uploader program.
    It just sits there in Stop mode.
    The web browser info says it has bootloader #88.




    Its as if the service port is not talking even though the virtual comms port (18 in my case) is set up OK.


    If I connect Hyperterm to the virtual comm port set at 115200 8bits no parity 1 stop bit.




    When I switch on the dreambox the service port sends a whole lot of data which I dont understand and if I press 'S' it goes into setup mode.
    I tried doing a factory default from here but this did not cure my problem.




    It is almost as if Dreamup and the Sunray flashup are working at a different speed/No bits/Parity etc.




    Is there anyway of seeing what the settings are in these flashup programs?




    Any clues guy's?
  • Well, it's not definately sure it actually IS a clone. There are a few options:


    1. He actually owns a genuine DM800se v2 and this one has a bootloader #88 or #89. He accidentally flashed an image meant for a clone. This results in the same error.


    Solution: install the correct!! VCP drivers on a PC/Laptop. Download the correct image for your box from www.dreamboxupdate.com and store this on your PC. Use DreamUp to restore the correct image in your box.


    2. He actually owns a cloned box and flashed an original image in the box.


    Solution: Save the power supply adapter (might come in handy). Open your trash container, dump the DM800se v2 in it. Close your trash bin. Visit a local shop and buy a genuine DM520 or DM525-Combo (around €109 to € 159). This has 2 advantages: it's an original with waranty, it's twice as fast and has 4 times more memory..
