A friend of mine wanted me to update his 500 but being the lazy git I am at times I couldnt be bothered getting the crossover cable out etc so used the below method without any problems.

Many ppl used this method before and are there any problems ?



This way is only supported by the CDK boxes or what are also called Engima 1 boxes.

the DM500, the DM56xx and the DM7000

When you have an UTP (LAN) connection between your PC and Dreambox, do the following:

Rename the image into root.cramfs (in small letters)
Copy this root.cramfs with a FTP-software to your Dreambox in the subdirectory /var/tmp
Push on the Dream or Menu button on your remote control to get into the Enigma menu
Go to the System Settings menu and choose the Software update

Now choose Software update where you will see 2 possibilities:
Internet update
Manual update

Now you choose the last option (Manual Update).



The Dreambox is now looking for your /var/tmp/root.cramfs file and when it is found flashing starts the usual way.
