I flash mine by moving it to my PC. It is that small it is easier to move it than use a long null modem cable.

Like said you dont need to know what the TV screen says. After flashing you will know if it worked, power it up again and see if you get the green light come on after it was booted, might take a couple of minutes to boot.

Well, rather than spend three days looking for my null modem cable I ordered a new one. I'll do the reflash when it turns up...

My System: I bet on red. If I lose, I double the bet on red again. I continue with this until I lost everything.

Took a long time but I finally did it. Used the null modem cable only because the IP range at work is different to that at home and it would have taken me as long to change the IP on the DM600 as it did to flash over null modem. In the end it took 25 minutes to re-flash the latest Gemini (4.4), so we'll see if it works when we get it home.

My System: dreambox,technomate motorised dish

dm600 does take about 25-30min with null cable, also try different versions of dream up i found latest version would'nt work. you might find some images not stable, i prefer older versions (tried and tested)

A simple way to install a new image (or a number of images) is to use multiboot with the Barry Allen plugin. I have posted a how-to here :-
