Hi Guys,
I see we don't have any Topics about these DM900/920 UHD Boxes yet, so I will start.

I have absolutely NO experience with "arm.based Receivers" like VU etc..so this is a learning curve.Tks

Thinking of getting one of these DM900UHD and would like to get to know more about it first before I buy.

I have read about Flashing the images via "Rescue Mode" but does the RAR file,
" SIM230_openatv-6.0-dm900-20170820.rootfs.tar "
need to be UNZIPPED or does it go ZIPPED into WEB Browser..in "Rescue Mode".?

Do the usual Proggies like DCC_E2 and E-Channelizer or dreamboxEdit (64) also work on the DM900/920 arm based Boxes.?

I am reading lots of problems loading images, loading Oscam, loading Plugins etc etc..on Original and SIM2.30 Clones, is this true or do Back-Ups work fine.?

I have read that Original images with modified " lib.module" files CAN be loaded/changed/updated on SIM2.30 Box images and work well, is this also true.?

Thanks for any help

I asked the same Q's in a DM900UHD SIM 2.30 Clone Forum and got really stupid answers, first to come here and secondly NOT to ask Q's in DM900 Section but to use Chat Zone for this...very strange rules.!!!

Hello AJP007,

I didn't had time to take a look at the DM900UHD yet, but as it's mostly comparable to the DM520HD, here are few points.

- Files to load the image into the box are tar.gz or tar.xz

- All the normal tools, such as Putty, FTP, Telnet, WinSCP, DCC etc will work, as it's always Enigma2 software, also if it's for another CPU/Chipset (ARM).

- Naturally all software compiled for MIPS will NOT work on ARM, so you need to have the software compiled for ARM Architecture instead of MIPS. So for example CCcam doesn't exist, only for MIPS, so you will not have it for ARM boxes.

- The Rescue mode is used to flash the image, better to not change it and keep as the manufacturer put it, so you should have no problem with the clone or the original.

- The Patching of the images look like naturally to need the Drivers, but we have no idea about what else (if there is a bootloader/SSL etc). We had no time to take a look at it, we asked the clone manufacturer and support sections but none are capable of answering, and clone has only few images... in fact no real support.

We would like to do a Japhar sim version, as we done for the DM520HD, but all depends of the ressources we have left and time. So the current priority is DM8000HD, then after only the DM900UHD.

For the Fun, the clone DM900UHD is the most interesting, for the sport as we can tell it ;o), as patching is definitely fun as well as you can swap the sim to Japhar then (when available). Just be sure to never flash a "Rescue Manager", probably this is the best advise, then you will always be able to recover the box.

TS,
Thanks Buddy, you are my Hero as always.
OK I have understood all you have recommended.

That's ALL very positive, super.
I have been searching for about two weeks and have found a few Back-up images from different Teams and as you correctly stated ALL are working with Oscam and NOT CCcam.!

To Unzip rootfs, .tar.bz2, rootfs, .tar.gz ...etc images you need the 7-Zip proggie.

But as far as I understand the image Upload process, the .tar Files are ALL Zipped, so you take this Zipped file and insert into Web Browser in the "Rescue Mode"...UNTICK Backup and Restore that is important and press Start.
Reboot when finished.

I will read and do some more research before I buy, because I still DON'T understand 100%, Zipped or Unzipped .tar Files to Upload.!!

I understand you have lots of work and it is NOT priority No.1
to do DM900/920 UHD Boxes.
Thanks to you and the whole team for ALL the hard work, ;-)

No problem I can wait a little and when I am ready I will buy and play around with it.

When the JapharSim 900UHD becomes available then will definitely buy one to compliment my collection.;-)

OK Buddy,;-)
I wll check with Johnny.B @ 8a8f8 and see what he has been doing with his DM900UHD. I have seen his Pics about the Main Board and many Technical details also a "Silicon Twin Tuner" which sounds very very interesting.
Thanks for your support and help.
Will be back to Post more when I know more.
Merci

The images for DM900UHD/DM520HD are *.tar.xz and *.tar.gz, you don't need to unpack them if .xz and .gz, as these are the ones to use to flash to the new DM boxes.

Admin,
Thanks for the very important Info, Super... understood ;-)

Yes I read today that most image Download Files come as a "Web.zip" file, and the .tar files are inside "ZIPPED", these files go straight as they are into the "Web Browser" "Rescue Mode" Loader for DM900/920 boxes.

Then this is "IMPORTANT" make sure you "UNTICK" both Boxes "Back-up" and "Restore" Press "GO" and after Loading successful....Reboot.!!

Everyday I learn something new, so when my new DM900 UHD Box arrives i will be ready to go. ;-)

At present problems with DHL in China, delays of 15 days for pick-up at Dealers and then after that until 25th Feb Chinese New Year, so a little delay and NO box probably until middle March, says my Dealer.

If I get stuck I will come back and ask for advice..much apprec
Thanks
AJP

The VU J board is for VU+ Clone boxes (VU+ Solo / Uno / Duo).

For the DM900UHD, you just need to replace the clone sim it has by the Japhar Sim NC3, that you will find here,
