You may need to use a RS232.

Are you using Technomate_ControlCenter_7_1? Here is a tutorial to flash via serial lead
by digidude and the Technomate_ControlCenter_7_1 program

Hi Guys

e:invalid protocol 1 : ready 13.01.44

e:unknown 13.01.44

Are you using a null modem cable and have you checked you have the right com port set in Technomate_ControlCenter_7_1 in setup?

If you know what the ip address is of the box then just open your browser and typ 192.16.......... and login to the box then flash a new image via the update option. (very similar to the dm800.)

hi guys
i can access my box through pauls advice..anybody know the username and password for the gemini image??

much appreciated

[logie110]

password technomate..doh!! thanks guys

[logie110]

ok guys..i am in the enigma web interface..where to go now to flash my new image?..sorry for all the questions!!

[paul362]

First of all get the reciever all wired up before hitting the power make sure network cable is in...
open the front flap and hold your finger down on the power button then flick the power switch on at the back, KEEP YOUR FINGER HELD DOWN ON THE FRONT POWER BUTTON, keep it there until you see a number, now this number will be the end part of its ip address for example if it says 3 your ip address for the box will be 192.168.1.3 or obviously if your router has a different ip combination it will be the last digit of the ip address.
Now open up your internet browser on your pc and in the address bar just type out the IP address then click go this will then let you in to the technomate loading portal all you do is click browse which will be the location of the UR image you have downloaded find it and then double click, then click download, the image will now go in, once finished it will say done on the front panel just restart the machine..
YOUR STILL NOT DONE!!!!!
its very important you first do a factory reset
so press ok on english and then just exit out of the rest until you come to the enigma info bar press menu on remote goto setup, then expert setup, then factory reset...once restarted the box is then ready to go
TIP: blue x2 lets you to the blue panel download where you can get latest channel list etc>>>>>
HAVE FUN

Sounds like you may need to flash via RS232.

[logie110]

thanks sicilian..tried that aswell..all i got with the rs232 lead was invalid protocol displayed on the loader page..looks like box is bricked..will order another one later..

thanks for the help

You wont go wrong if you do as sic has said I use our sponsor all the time and have not had 1 problem since i started ordering from stef.

One other thing make sure you are trying to flash a factory default image before you write the UR image. (these gemini images are more of a pain@ the moment than a help for the TM's)

[logie110]

thanks for the info guys..think im probably going wrong with the factory default image...any advice on how and where to get default image appreciated!!!

[Sicilian]

Any of the images here should be fine, try the latest: -

i had exactly the same after loading gemini image could not do anything at all with it so i just loaded the ur image on.

[paul362]

no problem glad your sorted.

Just a side note : to update your UR image just press the LAN button and then press BLUE and it will update you to the latest UR release without loosing anything.
