Flashing the DBox2

[sidhanif]

hi

firstly im a a complete novice to this but am picking things up really quick as some of you are really helpful.

i want to correct the box myself rather than drive half way across the world to my contact who is probably rubbing his hands with glee due the prospect of the income this latest attck on the box will generate.i run betweeen my sisters and mums house inputing manual codes which is a right faff!

so to start with i have:
Nokia dbox2
latest sportster pro image
a crossover cable
ifa verson 3
BM toolbar with all the latest fixes & files.

i can follow the instrcutions i guess that some have posted but wanna know what files i use.

sorry to sound desperate so can someone help

thanks




some of you have explaind how to flash the image but what do i do to correct the current problem with the box

Easiest way is to follow the guide and ftp the rom7 fix unless you have messed up the box leaving you with no choice but to reflash an image.

YOU don't have to do anything with your channel list or rescan for channels just follow this 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,

Select ‘Restore To An Earlier Time’ and choose the correct point
Turn back ON your firewall, and virus checker
Connect back onto the internet, and online to the forum
Let us know if you have any problems.
and ftp the rom 7 download across
