Hi there all,

 

Im posting this because of what happend to my DM500HD.

 

After a update true my DM500HD, the dreambox got in some error with a green screen and a error message. As it said to wait 10 sec and it will reboot itself, wel it didnt happend after 10 not even ater 1 min.

 

So i booted myself and it didnt return to his normal state. I could see the picture the dreambox booted, but didnt go any further and got stuck some how. Even after a coulpe of reboots i even left the light blinking for a couple of days. Still no change.

So i thought i reboot the dreambox i switched it off and turned it on by pressing and hold the power butten to see if i get the webpage site.. but no luck.

 

 

What i did to fix? here is how i did it;

 

What you need is the following things

-  DreamUP1339.zip   897.79KB   18 downloadsDreamUP1339.zip (unzip after download)
-  CP210x_VCP_Win_XP_S2K3_Vista_7.zip   4.97MB   25 downloadsCP210x_VCP_WinXP/win7 drivers.(unzip after download)

- and the latest openpli driver for your dreambox

- mini usb cable that fits in your dreambox and laptop (usb normal --> mini usb cable)

- and a network connection.

 

 

Step 1: Make sure your dreambox has power but switched off and lan cable connected

 

Step 2: install  CP210x_VCP_Win_XP_S2K3_Vista_7.zip   4.97MB   25 downloadsCP210_VCP drivers for getting a special com port for your dreambox

 

Step 3: connect the mini usb cable between your laptop and dreambox.

 

Step 4: Execute the  DreamUP1339.zip   897.79KB   18 downloadsDreamup1339

 

Step 5: it will prompt a screen

 

Step 6 Select the PORT to COM 4

 

Step 7 Use network tagged( this is needed to enter the webpage)

 

Step 8: If you did step 6 and 7 press connect

 

Step 9: In the log in the white area part, it will prompt a message

please turn you dreambox on

 

Step 10: DONT PRESS FLASH !!! AT ALL!!!!

 

Step 11: let it do his stuff and after a while it will display a new

message, saying HTTP page done.

 

Step 12: Open your browser and type in the adress that is displayed in dreamup under the section REMOTE IP

 

Step 13: Then you get the know screen you have been waiting for.

 

Step 14: You should get a web page for the dreambox. At the bottom is a link that says "Upgrade firmware", follow this link.

 

Step 15:Select the image .nfi file with the browse button, and press the "Flash" button.

 

Step 16:Also press the "reboot when finished" button, so that the box will restart once the update is ready.

 

 

This is where is should reboot give it a couple of min like 10 min. then you can switch off the dreambox. Unplug the USB cable and turn the dreambox on. From this moment should be booting, and displaying the image .

 

BE WARNED THIS METHOD DELETES EVERYTHING ON YOUR DREAMBOX MAKE SURE YOU HAVE A BACK UP OF THE CCCAM OR WHAT EVER YOU USE!!

 

 

Well i hope this helps some in case you still have questions, i will try to direct and help as i can. For me i did this pacience and alot of google.

And unfortunely i couldnt find a good troubleshoot. so with a bits and pieces and a bit of knowledge this is how i fixed.

 

GOOD LUCK !!

 

 

 

 

Welcome to the OpenPLi support board.

What's so special about this?
After a clean flash it's normal that all your data is gone.

The special is that my Dreambox crashed after I did an update. the sysem didn't work anymore. It was still possible to login, but couldn't get into the webinterface after push the power button. It was mentioned that al the data was cleared and not all users are aware that the data is cleared after doing this.

Het speciale er aan is dat mijn dreambox gecrashed was na een update .. systeem werkte niet meer. Ik kon eventueel wel inloggen e.d. maar kon hem niet meer in zijn installatie krijgen met de power button. Het enige alternatief is het bovenstaande. En het staat erbij dat het ook je gegevens wist, omdat bepaalde gebruikers het alsnog niet weten als ze dit soort dingen doen.
