Hi Folks,

Not sure if this has been mentioned on this forum yet but as I've just spent 2 days adding and deleting images and re-formatting my USB stick, thought I would say it anyway.

When using FlashWizard 5.0 and 1.09 images in multiboot be sure to use the:
1.09 beta CVS
image in Dreambox internal flash memory.

If instead you use the:
1.09 beta
image, then FW5.0 fails to correctly register the current running image.
The red arrow in FW5.0 shows that the flash image is in use when you know that it is one of your multiboot images running!
Worse, when you try to ftp files to the image, they go to the flash image, while things are in this mixed up state. You can see from your ftp package that it is not the correct image as there is no 'scce' or 'bin' etc folders.
Also anyone ftping addons to /tmp would find they were not recognised as they were in the flash image /tmp and not the required multiboot image /tmp.

So, to cure these problems, make sure you use 1.09 beta CVS.

Hope this helps to save some frustration!

73 & happy dreaming.

Hi All,

Sorry about consecutive post but this is important for anyone thinking of going to 1.09 images with multiboot.
So I added this to bring it back to the surface, so to speak!!

73 & happy 1.09ing.

Hi BonceChops,

It's in Spartans sticky at Toes or at w w w.satnews.it.
On home page locate panel called 'Updates' and scroll down to:
08/02 Firmware Dreambox Original 1.09beta CVS 08/02/05

Click 'Firmware' and then scroll down that page to:
Firmware originali per DB7000
top of the list is:
Original Version 1.09beta-CVS.

Hope this is OK?

73 & good luck.

As a Newbie, I do not fully understand what your explaining.

I have been having problems installing the Phoenix version of Hydra using FlashwizardPro 5 onto my hard disc. Are saying that I must have the latest version of the original enigma image in the flash memory before I can use the lastest Hydra image? The flash image I have at the moment is enigma version 2.6.5.

I am able to download the Hydra software onto my dreambox7000 harddisc but FlashwizardPro 5 cannot get it to install.

Put the V1.09 CVS version in flash. That should do it.

No not yet. Going to download from a different site, both the 109 cva for flash and the hydra phoenix for usb. The screen on dreambox is lit up even thought it is switched off. Is this the same with you.

Many thanks for your help. It certainly sorted out my problem! What's more, I now aware of the obvious - make sure that all variations of images held on HDD or USB (e.g. Pli, Hydra etc.) are based on the version held in the Flash memory!

Good stuff. Using the same version kind of makes sense when you think about it, but that doesn't help when the stupid thing is lying broken and bleeding on the floor!

Glad you're sorted.

Had problems with 1.09 beta cvs in flash because it just wouldn't load correctly.
When I booted the Dreambox up it said updating front processor please wait

So I waited and waited and nothing happened.
I tried again and could see the boot screen but after that nothing

I loaded Gemini 1.06 into flash and noticed that I can now move the var to usb or hdd which was the reason I wanted to multiboot in the first place just so I would have more space to play with plugins etc.

So I am sorted
Don't waste your time with other images
Gemini 1.06 is the best
