[QUOTE="un4gvn, post: 128668, member: 193828"] Well what do you know, I finally have some free time to type a few words in here. I have been busy dreaming ;) for the last 5 days and man what a learning curve lol. First, let me introduce myself, the name is un4gvn :-DOH! , living in nicosia, Cyprus. Pround owner of a baby 7020s + 160GB HD - V-Box III Moteck - 2 meter cheapo prime focus dish - invacom twin universal lnb ( one end going to the 7020 and another going to my sat pc card, dont wanna fight with the mrs for channels ). I managed to learn and do everything on my own (yeah baby) [size=4]THANKS[/size]to this forum and the great minds in it. Lots of reading, smoking, scratching my head, aspirin was involved and you have to bless the person who came up with the "search" button :-clap .Thank you guys.... Now if I may , I will try to add some of the problems I experienced during my dreaming period in the hopes it will help someone avoid smoking an extra pack of marlboros. I did not want to wipe out the original 7020 image (being new and all) but it had an old firmware version dated March, so I downloaded the newest one dm7020-20050628203759.nfi. Problem [color=red]#1 : [/color][color=black]when you use the latest image, the username is root BUT the password area has to be left blank :-comp .[/color] who knew arggggg 3 hours wasted.. Then I got myself a USB stick 512 ( this was before I got the hard drive ) , so I decided to use the stick, loaded with as many images as it would let me and start playing (multiboot). Problem [color=red]#2 : [/color][color=black]flashwizard and flashwizard pro do not work for the 7020 series (tested maybe 20 times). your only choice would be to use miniroot0.18.

The one I had luck with is gemini2.20. works like a charm.[/color] so, why would I use a usb stick for just one image? no thank you. I flashed the gemini220 straight. how to is here: yazoo post #3 [url="http://www.satellites.co.uk/php-bin/forum/showthread.php?t=47010&highlight=flash+image"]http://www.satellites.co.uk/php-bin/forum/showthread.php?t=47010&highlight=flash+image[/url] I used the blue button on the remote, downloded everything I might need for my dreaming (cams,cam config,keys etc..) and I know for sure that tonight, I will be in bed by midnight and not in front of my pc with words why-how-but-wait on my lips :-cheers . To recap quickly: *flashwizard and flashwizar pro = no no for the 7020s. *miniroot = too buggy (maybe your are a lucky person, try it). *with the latest official image, username is root/password is blank(empty). *gemini220 image is stable (it's been 4 days now) and I like it, use the blue button and download away. *Dreambox edit is a MUST for any DB owner. *some images work and some don't. keep trying. *PLEASE scan everything you download before opening or installing, got saved twice by my anti-virus software. Now if only someone can come up with a proggy to save my dish positions so I won't have to do it again after flashing an image lol. PS: for anyone in Cyprus interested, I 'm watching everything from 30W to 45E crystal clear. [color=black]Sorry for the long post, I just hope it will help someone like I was helped by the many posts in here.[/color] [font=Arial Black][size=5][color=#ff0000]A big thank you[size=2][color=#000000] [font=Verdana]to yazooo-BGonastick-tiggy-T_G-rolfw-[/font][/color][/size][/color][/size][/font] costas3d-gameboy-PCD and the list goes on and on. Thank you I will for sure ask some questions in the near future as I still have not figured a few things out. but for the time being, I'm taking a well deserved break, dreaming of course, lol.
