Improved flash error correction feature for the DM500HD, DM800HD and DM800HD-SE

OpenPLi just recently moved to the new SSL & drivers (mid Oct.). If you’re already running OpenPLi (not running a clone) it looks like the online update might update without first flashing the new secondstage-dm500hd-84.nfi.

It is recommended that you flash the new image for improved stability.

Starting today, images for the models DM500HD, DM800HD and DM800HD-SE include an improved flash error correction feature.

In order to benefit from the improvements, it is required that you either flash the new image with the latest version of DreamUP (V1.3.3.8) or flash a new second stage loader ( DM500HD DM800HD PVR DM800 SE ) before flashing the image via your browser or other means.

If you use the online update functionality, the new second stage loader will automatically be installed after rebooting.

Use the forums instead!

    What I don’t understand is that at first you say I have to flash it with DreamUp, then you say I can also flash a new second stage loader first with no explaining how that is done.

    At the end you tell me I can use the online update.

    So, what is the right method??

  • Olandese

    It would be nice a little explanation how to do this. I don’t understand it, do i have to use dreamup, or just flash again the newest image build with the browser? or just flash the second stage loader(with dreamup or browser) ?

  • Alex

    To bad no answers here, but since the EPG and timers are screwed again with the switchover from daylight savingstime to normal time, I’d rather flash the box completely and re-import the EPG.
    Should be no problem, I have done it several times, but how do I know I have the new second stage loader and drivers?
    First flash the Dreambox with the original Dream Multimedia image? (I don’t think so, since on their website http://www.dream-multimedia-tv.de/en/downloads the latest version is Release 3.1.0 from 23.03.2011)
    In the past I was told I have to flash first with an CVS-image, and OoZooN should be such an image.
    Or can I just download the latest OpenPLi and flash the box with that image?

    And what would be the difference in using DreamUP or the webinterface in Stop-mode?

    Correction for the url above, I found the new original Dream Multimedia image (v3.2.0 dated 05.09.2011) on http://www.dreamboxupdate.com/

    Sorry, I will do that.

    How difficult can it be to write some help that makes sence at all?

    -Use the online update > says there is no new software (current = from 2010)
    -Use Dreamup (V1.3.3.8) I can ping the dreambox but dreamup does not connect
    -Flash a new secondstage loader > HOW? and then what? If I could get it working.
    -When folowing the links of the DM500HD I get all sorts of info but not for the DM500HD
    -Use the forum for help, jou must be kidding, then I have to wait till someone understands what I am asking, give an answer thats helps and I have to belive he is helping me. Maybe the box is dead after I get helped by a amature?

    But I will try to flash the box with the seceond stage loader, but you can REALY improve your documentation! the info here is scatterd, outdated and misleading.

    Fool-proof method:
    Assuming that youi have backed up your configurations & channel lists, and own a genuine dreambox 800 and flashed a NFI image before, here’s the easiest way:
    1. download ozoon latest image and install it (from web-interface or dreamup after the turning on dreambox while pressing the power button).
    2. Now you have latest bootloader (v84) coz it’s built into ozoon unlike openpli
    3. Finally, get latest openpli nightly and flash it like step one –now you have latest bootloader PLUS openpli

    To know your bootloader version, turn on your dreambox while holding pwer button, then goto the ip shown on lcd, using browser and you will see
