There are 3 main programes that you need
1,Dream box control centre (DCC) this is a ftp programe which enables you to transfer files into the db..i.e keys,sat lists plugins etc, once logged in to your db you can see the linux files (via ethernet)
2,Flash Wizard Pro, this is the prog i used to flash the image, make backups etc (via ethernet)
3,Dreamup, in case you flashed a bad image or something went wrong during the flash and your box wont boot..(through rs232, MUST be null modem cable)
Ok to get started you need to know the ip of your db, hopefully you can navigate round your menus in the db to find this. Look under network settings or something like that...load up flash wizard pro, click on 'configuration and utilities tab' here you will see where to enter you db's ip..Enter ip address and if applicable login and password..if it doesnt need a password leave blank..sometimes login = root..Then click on 'instal a firmware into flash memory' click on the open folder symbol and find your new image on you pc (hopefully youve already downloaded one, pli jade etc) then it should be self explanatory from here..I always made sure the 'kill enigma' box was checked..After its loaded the box should reboot, if not just turn it off and switch back on again..If the flash has worked ok it will take you through the setup of configuring your sats etc..Obviously being that a new image has been loaded it would have lost all your previous settings etc but after you have set it up you can make backups of what you have done. Hope you get on ok
