4- Rename image "dreambox-image-dm900.tar.xz"
5- Insert USB to receiver
6- Now from standby menu select Recovery Mode
or Shut Down your receiver and then press and hold touch button of receiver
or from telnet give any one of below commands

to-the-rescue
or
echo "rescue" >> /proc/stb/fp/boot_mode

If receiver is on red light then first Power Off your receiver from rocker switch.
Then power on your receiver and touch and hold front touch panel within 500 ms to bring receiver into Rescue Mode

You have to take a factory image, and it must be named dreambox-image-dm900.tar.xz, and on a FAT32 Memory Stick, that is not too big... from 1 to 2 Gb I think.

I used the dreambox DM8000HD Memory stick on a DM900UHD, it restored the factory imaage.
