Hi Dimps

This sometimes happens if your using a USB to Serial converter lead.
I recommend using a ethernet cable to flash rather than via RS232.

See _http://www.dream-multimedia-tv.de/dm500/ for more help.

Cheers, Lee.

Did you try yo lower the speed of your com port to 9600

[DIMPS]

Yes Onecard.tried It All.normaly Ok With This Stuff But This One Is Going To Beat Me I Think.would Any One Now The Jtag Pin Out On This Box Dm500 S Last Hope I Think Cheers Cam Man

I know you probally tried this already but one more try won't hurt

plug out the box, start dreamup, select the com port, make sure the network option is not ticked, press connect,wait for status "connection prepared, now switch on the dream box" - now plug in the dream box.

If you get to this point without errors you are ok, select flash and load your choice image.

I have never seen a recovery file for a dm500 and a quick search on the net does not reveal much, I could not find anything on the connections either.

let us know if you have any luck re jtag.

btw did you try the serial upload with a different Pc?

[dimbo]

yes m8.tuck it to my cuz.an this is the thing it connected with lan so i flash dm 109 file back to box .it did that ok.but once again it would not boot up.never had this prob before with the box.the light come on but no one at home.lol many thanks for your help every one .ps tried it on is again but still no go aaaaaaaarrrrrggggh

[dimbo]

can any one please post the full settings for com port i can then check see if its some how changed in my settings ie bits per second/data bits/parity/stopbits/flow control/ advance settings/receive buffer/transmitbuffer many many thanks for all your help the cam man

[onecard]

Ok so you could connect over lan at your cousin, what about by serial only (no network ticked). If you can connect by serial do a flash erase before flashing new image.
