I buy a new dreambox 520 DVB-C/T2 box.
my first step was update the firmware for the latest one. I pick up the firmware on http://dreamboxupdate.com/
Now, the detected tuner on my box is :
Tuner A: BCM73625 (G3) (DVB-S2)
but my dm520 has DVB-C tuner.
I want my dm520 working on DVB-C, can you help me?
dm520 tuner DVB-C not working or not recognized

That's extremely weird... The official firmware should list the correct tuner.... Did the box start with the startup-wizard? Or was it a 'famous' Am*****n buy?
I would suggest a recovery-flash and then a recent image... It should offer the correct tuner...

Hi, The box started with startup-wizard.
I buy my box in portugal store.
can you help me on recovery-flash?
What i have to do? step by step.Thanks a lot.

When you started the box for the first time, did you enter into the startup-wizard? If not: the box was not new and should be returned immediately!
You can enter recovery mode by turning off the box completely. Switch it on and as soon as the LED blinks, place your finger on the LED foil. Release your finger when the LED lights continuous red.
Or go to the shut down menu and choose 'Recovery Mode'..

yes, It started in startup-wizard.
I already start in Recovery mode-> enter in telnet and write theses cmds:
echo rescue > /proc/stb/fp/boot_modeshutdown -r now
I did firmware upload for last firmware on http://dreamboxupdate.com/
but still DVB-S2 instead DVB-C !!

Return it immediately and ask for a refund. You have been given a bad clone...
-
:(, anyone have another suggestion?
-
I don't think so... I own a DM525-Combo and I don't recognise the Tuner Setup page you show here....

Hi, another point.
I look to the log in the service port when I power-up the box.
I saw some bad sectors in the nan flash memory. see the attached image.
can you check if in your box there is also this error bad sector?
thanks -
Yes, got those too.. All NAND chips have some 'bad blocks'. The system isolates those and therefore don't bother operation. Only when the 'boot' area is affected, the box must be repaired

in this case, can you confirm the affect bad sectors are located in 'boot' area?
-
The DM52x has only one partition 'boot' because of it's small size (512MB), DM9x0 with > 2 GB has 'boot', 'storage' and 'data'... But those boxes use the same technique. Bad blocks are 'flagged' and skipped. When 10% or more is bad, the box won't boot...
Have you tried the 'Genuine Dreambox' plugin to verify it's not a clone?
-
I run a "genuine dreambox" plugin and I get a code.
how I check this code?thanks
-
I just checked.. Since the new Dreambox site is online this function seems to have disappeared ...
-
any idea to fix the issue?
-
Without Bootlog its not easy to say anything.
But when you tried latest firmware from dreamboxupdate.com and the DVB-C is not detected... then i think its a hardware defect or no genuine box.

here is the bootlog file. (attached file)
I bought my dreamcast as genuine.

Okay. There are some i2c transfer errors. I think the box is broken. You should either try to exchange them through the dealer, or you can try to let repair them via dream support.
-
Bootlog says it all. The FrontEnd (FE) is broken. It actually tries for both (73625 DVB-S2) and (718x DVB-C/T2). The box has a hardware fault (as Ghost rightfully states). Since you live in Pirtugal, best to have it swapped by the dealer (you're within the 14-day retention period).

I bought the box on last September. I try to setup the box on first week without success and leave the dreambox in the corner. I have some problems and know I pick up the dreambox.
I'll try to contact the shop. Thanks for help
But since there is a issue in the i2C. can you indicates the resistors pulls-up used in the i2c lines . I'll check with oscilloscope the waveforms.
