  • Unable to boot DM500HD : Stuck after second stage loader

    Zitat von flagooner

    Hi hope you don't mind me entering this discussion late as I have a similar problem of write failure when flashing.Can you tell me how to enter the bios so that I can resolve the problem please?
    thank you



    First, you must have the DM500HD completely shutdown.


    Then, you have to connect the USB cable to the USB Service port, and with a software like Hyperterminal get ready to capture the right COM port.


    When you are ready, just hold the physical Power button in front of your DM500HD and you should see the BIOS screen on your computer

  • Unable to boot DM500HD : Stuck after second stage loader

    Well well.. before I begin to follow your guide, I tried to flash an older version of DM500HD image (2.7.1 - January 2010). I now get this and can't connect at all to the web interface when I do a long press on the power button :



    status is sometimes 0004 and sometimes ffc1.


    I can't even access to the BIOS so I returned it to my reseller in France which will send it back to DMM. Thanks for your help Homey

  • Unable to boot DM500HD : Stuck after second stage loader

    Hello everyone,


    One night, I just understood that my Dreambox couldn't boot at all. (When powered on, it goes directly to the red fixed DEL).


    I thought that the image was corrupt so I tried to flash it through the web interface (with a long press on the power button). I sended an official image and another one but the result was the same.


    I got the same results by using Dreamup and a USB cable with the service port, booting with it, and then passing through the web interface to send the image, same result.


    Then, I tried to use the Hyperterminal software in order to see what's happening when I power up my DM. It gives me that :


    It doesn't go further. Each press on the power button gives me exactly this result.


    I then tried to send an image through the web interface, and leaving my hyperterminal console on. I'm now getting this during the flash process:



    Whatever image I'm trying, or browser, it seems that the same sectors are getting involved, and marked as "bad".


    Please know that it's an original DM and that it worked well since months ago, even with all images I was sending to it.


    Do you think that Flash memory is damaged, and should explain why it can't boot anymore ?


    Thanks everyone for helping me about this.
