nullx8 Posted November 18, 2012 Share Posted November 18, 2012 Does anyone know a place where someone can flash me a dreambox? I have only mac's at home and 90% of this usb-rs232 adapters not really working properly. I went to fortune, but it took me an hour to find someone not scared by the fact i "just" want to use his pc with rs232 port I think its much more efficient to simply go to someone know about dreamboxes. The community is quite big in thailand since this boxes are beeing used to hack pay-tv. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

monty Posted November 19, 2012 Share Posted November 19, 2012 Is the dreambox actually working? Because I normally flash over network. But obviously can only be done if your dreambox boots properly. Using either flashwizard or dcc on windows... I can find software which allows your dreambox to be flashed from your iPhone or ipod, but not immediately anything for a regular Mac...Must exist I would think... https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/dreambox-image-flashing/id320427917?mt=8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nullx8 Posted November 19, 2012 Author Share Posted November 19, 2012 Is the dreambox actually working? no it is not, the firststage got busted after false update to a 8000 firmware instead of a 800 one the box stops at ERR01: CA Not Found. thats fine can be fixed with dreamup easy, but requires a real serial port and a bunch of free hours (it takes forever without lan avaiable) so i do not have both of thet, better to give it to someone not afraid of it and do it for few bucks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
