to flash your DM800 use webif its faster and safe...

1- power of the DM from mains

2- old the power button and power on the DM u should now see the STOP and a IP adress in the DM display

3- Go to your web browser and type the IP adress showing in the DM display and follow the instrucions

to load channels use openDBedit make sure u put your DM IP and PASSWD

Thanks I have read the thread and done as described and above all i get is
an error.
If you see this, your box didn't boot to Linux.
Unless you interrupted the boot process, this usually means that you have no valid operating system in flash.
Don't panic! It's not a problem. You can just flash a new version and everything will be fine!
Otherwise, you can boot from network or USB.
If you're about to give up, you might get help at the Dream Multimedia Support board!
Currently there aren't many other features...

m8 go to dreambox site and get the last original dm800 image.

Thats great m8 your exactly where you should be !
now look at the last line of text (in orange)
you should have device info and firmware upgrade, click on firmware upgrade which will open a new page, now click on browse and locate your nfi image file then click on flash sit back and wait for completion
restart box ..........
