Default excited but need advice for a sagem dbox2

hi guys.

ok im usless when it comes tech stuff but i think i have an idiots guide
to flashing (thanks to heike)

i have the linux image flash assistent and my idiots guide sooooo im all good to go and im dead excited about the whole thing.

BUT i need some advice before i get going with this.

the image i have to flash is laky pro1, the box i have is a sagem dbox2 and every now and again it freezes and i have to reboot the box. i heard somewhere that some flash software can stop this problem. does anyone know what flash software is best to stop the freezing problem?? if not does anyone know if the laky pro1 is any good? or do you know of a better one?

thanks in advance

Get IFA from www.hallenberg.com frei downloads.

For freezing Sagems you are better running an image that has the gbox EMU ( Laky only has evocam ).

Flash Blade Quad and when you are up and running press the blue button and copy the keys from evocam to gbox then switch EMU's from evocam to gbox.....you may need to reboot.

The only thing is that gbox does not AU and on the next keyroll your box will not update. No problem, all you have to do is switch back to evocam till the keys update then go back and copy the keys to gbox again and switch back to gbox......takes less than a minute !!!
