No such thing as flash erase with DM800, it's not like the DM500.

You just need to flash a new image and it is done.

What problems are you having at present ?

PC connected to router via ethernet cable, the Dreambox connected to router via ethernet cable.

Router must have dchp enabled.
Then follow instructions HERE

Are you using the new white sky card?! If so, from what I've heard, this doesn't work straight through with cccam. Needs to run from within newcs...

Hi,
Just to re-cap, is the following procedure correct.
Old image in flash
Barry Allen running on USB
Using a recent image from flash.

To update flash image.

Re-Boot DB from flash image
Flash the new image from brouser
Re boot.

Now the question is will Barry Allen be accessible from the new image on the flash or will it need to be reinstalled so that you can boot again from the USB.

Each time i have tried this i lose the information on the usb
Thanks,
Pedigree

Depends what image you have in the flash, Nabilo pure flash has Barry Allen built in for you or OoZoon has Barry Allen from it's downloads.

OK mate put the Oozoon 23/06/2009 on the flash, it's in the uploads or at least it is now (thanks sonic lol)

BA 4.8.17 in in the plugins...Plugins>extentions, just let it install reboot and you're ready to put the images on the usb for multiboot.

Just to add to the above, if you already have images on a barry allen usb stick, then it will (assuming you don't remove the stick when installing barry allen) recognise this, and use the images from this stick to boot when you've updated the flash...

Thanks to Sonic1, loveman, and canthackit.

I am running a nabilo pure flash in the flash and EDG Nemenis on the usb.
I will give it a go at the weekend using Oozoon image.

Are you saying you've got Black Hole on the flash?
And with Barry Allen?
If yes then remove BA! it wont work.
Just use Black Hole as is.
What you want if going multiboot is Oozoon (the last one) on the flash, Barry Allen 4.8.17 is in the Plugins.
Then you can go multiboot if you want, you can then install Black Hole 0.10 on the USB

in telnet

mount -o remount,rw /boot
rm /boot/*
reboot

this will erase the boot folder and force the dreambox to boot into failsafe mode, you can then get the IP from the front lcd and type that into your browser and reflash from there.
