Flashing a new firmware with Browser

What you need to flash

You need the image file you want to flash. Image files have the extension *.nfi. You can't flash other
images like *.img files. Don't try it - it won't work.

You need either a DHCP server, a configured bootloader or a serial cable and a terminal program
like HyperTerm.

You need a browser, and a network cable. If you connect the Dreambox directly to the PC,
you need a cross cable, if you connect trough a switch/hub/router you need a normal
(non-cross) cable.

To flash a new image, you can use the second stage loader. It must be present and not broken.

The following steps assume you have a DHCP server. If you don't have one, you have to setup
 an IP address (klick) in the bootloader's serial setup.



- Power down the Dreambox, either using "shutdown" (to enter the deep-standby mode) or by
 using the power-switch. Standby is not enough

(1.) Press and hold the lower frontpanel button.

(2.) Switch on the dreambox, either by using the powerswitch or, in deep-standby mode,
 press the power button. Still, hold the lower button.

(3.) A text "*** STOP ***" should appear. If something like "/flash".. appears, you didn't
 hold the right button. Now you can release the button.
 The bootloader entered the "waiting" mode.

(4.) Above the "*** STOP ***" text, there should appear an IP-address
 (four decimal values with a dot in between). If there appears the string "dhcp" instead,
 the box still searches for a DHCP server. Wait a bit. If it doesn't change, something doesn't work with the DHCP server. Check wether network cable is plugged in etc.

And another trick to flash with the browser, but not using the front push button, and forcing the box ip to your own chosen ip in your network.
Also handy if your front display or panel does not work.

1. Connect the box with the network, and serial cable.

2. Use, startup DreamUp and set it to the correct com port, enable the Use Network, be sure that the Local IP and select one are the same, keep the Remote IP in the same ip area.
Example, Local/select one are both 192.168.0.5
Remote IP 192.168.0.10

With other words use DreamUp as you always did.

3. Press the Connect button, switch on the box.
If all goes well you see a connection to the box in the Log screen.

4. Let DreamUp as it is and use the Remote IP in your browser etc.
