sorry for bothering ya the null modem cable i need

i have an rs232 cable from a digivox t and a usb to serial converter to plug into the laptop will this do because i cant plug a null modem cable straight into laptop its a different connection

 

A null modem cable is a null modem cable independently if you use it for a digivox-t or a dreambox.
You have to use dreamup for flashing a dreambox.

 

Would Anyone be able to tell me the on screen prcedure to flash the dreambox 500 with an image ( the new fix )using flash fxp,connecting via the router, it wont connect using a null modem and dreamup, nothing happens after it says "switch on box" .
The box is working with a DW2.0 image when connected to TV , i need to install the new DK image.
I can drag and drop the new files(HYPERCAM 1.06) with FLASHFXP,but it wont work with the current image.

Is the null modem cable to only way to flash it, as the connection on the box is not working.

 

To dreamboxy: In dreamup after it says swiitch on box just plug the box in and out and it will work

Iv tried all everthing to get it to connect via null modem.

 

Disable network inside dreamup and choose the right com port for the null modem connection.

 

i can connect my other box up and its fine on dreamup, using com port 1, all settings are the same ,when i put the other box on, nothing after i switch it on.

 

It looks like the comport is faulty at the non working box.

 

yes ! thats it, iv tried changing that port with one from the working box, but still nothing, it will connect ok with a cross over cable to a router, can i flash it that way ?

 

the box wont flash it says it cant find the file

im using an rs232 cable with a usb to serial connection
when i connect the box it recognises it then i plug in the power and the loader fills up when i click flash and find the file and try open it it says it cant

 

You have to decompress the file first. Use WinRAR.

 

im trying it says unexpected end to archive

 

Corrupted file. Either bad download or the file is damaged and you have to find a other download.

 

FLASH WIZARD PRO MAY BE MY ANSWER IF I CAN FIND IT TO DOWNLOAD
