hi friend i was make it now working perfect thanks

 

[JYAPGR]

the flash .. well it come up Dreambox Dm500 board initialize
Flash info. : INTEL Unknown
and thats it .. it will not go any further then that ????

Hello ,

You have to follow the windows guide and not the command prompt one.
Thus because it not support your Intel Flash chip .
So you have to try many times to connect .
First press connect and almost the same time add the power plug .
It depends of the CPU performance .

Good Luck

John

Hi, I unwittingly bought a clone and thanks to these posts I have got bootloader installed. I have unsoldered the jtag cable and now I get no LED's or anything else. I haven't got a R232 cable yet. Will everything spring into life when that is connected or have I done something wrong?

Dear mates ,

This is a guide that we create after a successful recover of a dead dm500s . It contains photos and automated scripts .

Greetings from Greece .

Hello ,

This is not correct , the green led must turn on after jtag procedure .
Are you sure it ends successfully ?

Give us some details about .

Hi, I downloaded the zshare.net guide and followed that. Had no problems reloading. The LEDs stayed on whilst the JTag was plugged into my computer, but went out when I unplugged it. Had no response at all from remote. Have since tried all kinds of reloads in all kinds of combinations. Can now get green LED on after reloading, but not off remote (Batts are new). Only comes on when mains lead is plugged into the back. Absolutly no conection from computer to dreambox using either R232 or LAN. Just about ready to bin it and buy something else DM600pvr!!! (Genuine) When it comes to mac addresses and stuff like that I haven't got a clue what to do.

I have a genuine Dm500 with Gemini 4.40 on it working now, but have a second Dm500 (clone) ordered and on its way to me, is there any way i can change its Mac address so i can put the 4.40 of gemini image on this one also without issue or was this a once of issue and i can safely put this image on my clone ?

Hello , Sorry for the delay but in Greece is vacation period.
So , lets take it from scratch . You have jtag successfully the dm 500 .
The led stays on after jtag cable disconnect.
To proceed with flash you need a null cable . This is a specific cable with pins 2-3 3-2 5-5 4-6 6-7 7-8. This is the correct pin assignment . However it may work just with the three pairs 2-3-5 .

Now you are ready to flash , use only dreamup soft and serial cable only .

Try again .

Good luck .

Hello ,

Really i can not understand you ,
You prefer to install a time bomb image instead to use another one bomb less such as EDG NEMESIS 4.2 .

Whatever , from gemini blue panel download and install the qSUB plug in .
After mac update you can uninstall it .
Then with DCC soft go to /var/etc and find the init file . Edit the file , in the line "ifconfig eth0 down hw ether 00:12:25:2f:78:89
ifconfig eth0 up " put any MAC address that you prefer, exit and save .
You are ready .

I've read through the thread a couple times, and I have a question. Most of the posts refer to the Alps tuner. If I have a genuine DM500 Philips tuner do I need to use the Windows or the DOS version? Or either?

Hello ,

Hm , good question , try the dos , if not work for it , then windows . It depends of the Intel flash .

The 1st one is easy the 2nd is tricky .

However you can't damage the damaged ......!!!;)

Dear Mates ,

You will find under a bomb less version of Gemini 4.40 for Dm500s (not plus version ).

Thats all for now.

Thanx for the share on this, however due to the possible gravity of installing this 4.4 version and the possible devestating effects of it going "bang", please could you also share the source of this Image and any link to further discussions about it......I'm keen to try it but would like to read more before i do!
