    How to flash a E1 Based DMM Via TELNET

    To flash an image using Telnet

    This method will only work with a .img image file.
    * Rename the image file to backup.img
    * FTP the image file to the /tmp folder on the dreambox
    * Telnet to your box and paste the following command:

    Code:
    cd /tmp && eraseall /dev/mtd/3 && cp backup.img /dev/mtd/3 && reboot

    To backup an image using Telnet

    * Telnet to the box and paste the following command:

    Code:
    cat /dev/mtd/3 > /tmp/backup.img
    * FTP to the box and navigate to the /tmp
    * Here you will find the backup.img file.

    How to copy an image from your PC to the Dreambox via Telnet

    First of all, you need to have a mounted directory from your PC. Make sure you have the image.img file in your mounted directory on your PC. Telnet to the dreambox and paste this command:

    Code:
    cp /hdd/movie/image.img /tmp/image.img
    The img will be copied from your mounted directory to the /tmp folder on the dreambox ready to be flashed.

    nahh to be fair with the dm7020 you just flash it over the lan via web page. same with the tm600 via mini web. it's only the real old boxes such as the dm500 that are a pain in the posterior.

    yeah the newer models have the webif / mini web to flash

    yeah i totally agree. although it is rare to stuff up a DM while flashing it but it does happen and in those cases a NULL modem cable is the only solution to getting the box back on its feet so to speak.
