Hi

Was wondering if anyone could help?

I have a Nokia Dbox2 and did have a working sportster image 1.75, i have tried to reimage the box as i had lost alot of channels (rescanning wasnt doing anything ) with what i thought was a backup of my image.

However since then the box turns on but i get nothing else. The problem is compounded by the fact the box is old and the lcd is unreadable , it looks like a lot of numbers are dsiplayed on the lcd so it could possibly be an error code

Any comments would be appreciated.

hi m8
try reflashing with a new img using IFA (image flashing assistant) your box might be kien system you might have flashed the wrong img ie (1x chip onto a 2x chip box) gives you kien system

took a backup of a working sportster image and using IFA have tried to flash the dbox using a crossover and the last used IP address before it went pear shaped

Can't get IFA to pick up the box , its not looking good is it

I have a RS232 cable can i use that to try anything?

Connect the box with the crossover and RS232, Fix your IP address on your PC to something like 192.168.100.10, disable all Firewalls, Anti-Virus & any other Network card including Wireless and try again.

Hello

I have changed IP on my laptop (192.168.100.10) and connected crossover and RS232 but still no luck, i have set the IP in the boot manager to 192.168.0.3 which i think was the old IP or should i have left the default IP in boot manager which was 192.168.100.202?

I have disabled all other NIC's, anti virus etc

Any other ideas?

sorted , I was leaving the box turned on while i ran the initial config on IFA, as soon as I turned it on when prompted it connected and flashed successfully

Just need access to the downloads site now to try that lovely ferret image

all help much appreciated
