Attention! With this Image the dbox will not be able to boot!

[waqasahmed]

Hi, obviously I am new to the forums, so dont shoot me down for being a noob. Anyway my problem is this, I download the ROM 7 fix that was released today and un-rared it. After un-raring I have a nagrarom7.bin file but when I use this .bin file on "Dbox flashing assistant"(I havent plugged the dbox in because Im scared) Anyway when I press start, it says "Attention! With this Image the dbox will not be able to boot!" and when I change the .bin to .img, the same message happens and when I leave it as a rar file. Please advise me on what to do

ftp it to the box in /var/keys/

The rom7 fix is not a complete image. Just do as the poster above states and ftp it onto the relevant folder. The flashing assistant replaces everything which you do not need to do.

There is another open post telling you just how to do it take a look in this section

Copied from other thread. Subzero's guide~:
Heres a quick guide on how to transfer the nagrarom7 file using FTP.

Let’s Get Started:

To make this easier, place your tv/box close to your PC
(so that you have easy access to the back of both, to change cables around.)


1. PC Setup: Now would be a good time to create a ‘System Restore Point’ on your PC,
(as you will have probably have to change the IP settings, to something different from your internet settings).

Unplug your internet connection NOW to avoid any conflicts.

Switch OFF all firewalls and antivirus on your PC
(and make sure windows XP built in firewall is OFF)


2. Power on the TV and DBox, but don’t hook it up to your PC yet.

Using the remote control, press DBOX > SETTINGS > NETWORK
Take a note of the DBox network settings
(this is an example only)

IP-Address 192.168.0.3
Net Mask 255.255.255.0
Broadcast 192.168.0.255
Def Gateway 192.168.0.2
Name Server 192.168.0.2


3. On the PC go to START BUTTON > SETTINGS > CONTROL PANEL and open the NETWORK CONNECTIONS

Right-click the network card (it may say Local Area Connection),
and select PROPERTIES > CONFIGURE > ADVANCED tab

Highlight the ‘Connection Type’ (in the left window),
and in the right ‘Value window there is a drop down menu (it will probably currently say automode)
Change the Value to 10 full mode then OK

Again, right-click the same connection, and go back into the PROPERTIES of the network card
There is a List of items in the first window (you may need to scroll down further)
Left-click on internet protocol, when it is highlighted, click the PROPERTIES button.

Select the ‘Use the following IP address’
Enter the settings, as you seen it on your DBox, except the IP address will be one digit less of the last number
(eg. 192.168.0.3 on DBox, so use 192.168.0.2 on your PC)

OK these settings.


4. Connect the RJ45 cable between PC and DBox (linking them together)

Run the Flash FXP program
On one side should be the files on the PC
On the other side make sure you select ‘ftp browser’ (the tab is a monitor and folder picture)
(It may already be selected)

Click CONNECT (the icon which looks like a lightening bolt)

Select QUICK CONNECT the three boxes require some information
SERVER OR URL = (enter the IP address of the DBox)
USERNAME = root
PASSWORD = dbox or dbox2 or commando

Then click CONNECT

You should now see the DBox files in the window (if not, check the IP settings/password).


5. In the PC file window, browse to the folder containing the nagrarom7 file.

In the DBox window browse to the var/keys folder (NOTE: you may already be in this folder).

Transfer the nagrarom7 file across into the var/keys folder

Delete any other nagrarom(10/11... etc) files

When done close down the Flash FXP program.

Enable Autoupdates on your Image (check previous posts on how to do this).

Now reboot the DBox

Switch to a non-FTA channel. Wait a few minutes for codes to update.

6. You may want to use the ‘System Restore’ program now, on your PC,

or try this page it has pictures of ftp Step by Step Guide to Using FXP (with pictures)

Thanks masalawalla will try that tomorrow and azkhan but wouldn't a flashing assistant be easier? Im not too bothered about the order of the channels.(well at least the guide seems hard to do)

[masalawalla]

In a day or two somebody will probably release a new image with fixed rom so you can get that and use IFA if your happier with that method.
