Try usig the other USB port.

How could this help?
If your AzBox doesn't have an IP, where DCC/Angry IP Scanner will point?

Better you configure your DHCP server properly instead waste your time with all this workarounds.

You need to read AND understand.
Ultra doesn't have VFD,so this is not a workaround,is a must do.

DCC scans the network,as well as others do,and find the box's IP,no guesses involved.

Hi Smudger M8,

Not sure if you were referring to my post or not but if you were...I had already tried front and back USB ports no joy.

Thanks

James.

What model of Azbox ... Premium or Elite?

Read this chance to recover! HERE

If you have a storage device that is seen, copy the patch.bin (ex. 0.9.5020) on /dev/xxxx and mount the cramfs on it ... and then reload the old kernel (Opensat) ... at new reboot ... you can regain access to USB Upgrade menu, where you can reformat DOM and reinstall what you want !

"you have a new Kernel in your Azbox", but I then get a box saying "no rescue mode" "Put a patch.bin on your USB stick, reboot and try again"

Do you actually have patch.bin on your USB stick and has it been formatted as FAT32?

For my Ultra I just enter in router's web interface and check Ultra assigned IP by DHCP.
No guessing or workaround needings.

Also, as my router's DHCP remember devices by MAC, IP is always the same, using original fw or using E2 firmware.

Anyway, you could also install a bunch of other software to do that same thing. User's choice.

I didn't say that use a IP scanner or other tool are the wrong way for Ultra.
I meant that in cases where your box don't get an IP none of this tools should help.

We have recently been very much spoiled by the team it's so quiet, so nice if we had something new for the weekend to test. with all due respect natural
with what they have given us so far.

Patience.. Have patience. A new firmware will be along soon.

Since version 1.0.31 new FIX's are :

- VFD trough AzBoxVFD Plugin ( Channel name, Time etc. )

- Standby function

- HDMI Loop ( hotplug )


As there is new progress, all fix and changes will be written here.

Hi Zfeet,

Yes, I have even bought some new 2GB ones which were formatted fat32, so I have tried 5 different makes of USB stick from 1GB to 4 GB all formatted fat32.

Thanks M8 any input or advice is greatly appreciated.

James.

That's because you didn't know about DCC.(and others)
The IP doesn;t need to be "guessed" ,only need to be found,and DCC can do that for you in a minute.

In these cases ... it would be sufficient to use the programs that make to IP address scan on your network!

An example: Angry IP Scanner ... search with google !!!

lol I was being funny.Lost in translation! :P I just had to check my routers LAN IP address management.

What's a HDMI Loop?

[**esp**]

What's a HDMI Loop?

Not sure, but there is a problem with HDMI locking up the Azbox, so maybe this is to do with hotplug and is now fixed?

Try first to put an older version of the 2nd Enigma
Hello.

[kam2006]

azbox Premium all the solutions did not succeeded in installing the wireless on my Give me another way

@ Satommy:
I tried the plugin enigma2-plugin-extensions-****center_experimental-cvs20101025-r0_dm800 and everything works fine.
I can go to the menus and I can select the video. Player opens. But I can not plays back any video. I think the problem is that all videos are *. mp4. A problem of codec?

[kebien]

What's a HDMI Loop?

Is probably how hotplug works for hdmi.
When hdmi cable is connected it should be detected and video output should restart with HDMI enabled,as in a loop.
I think is a condition of hotplug

Hi M8,

That would be impossible I cannot load anything with a USB stick, I have tried to load other versions of E2 but the USB ports are not responding on my box. I know how to use applications for FTP and Telneting but that was for only simple tasks with Opensat stuff, I have no real experience with Dreambox's and real coding.

If it was possible to override the E2 version I have by transfer another version of E2 via filezilla I would, but I don't know where to put the file, or for that matter what Telnet commands I would need to get it going. Having looked at a post that explained how to return to Opensat firmware by using Filezilla and Telnet, the Telnet commands looked very complicated for a novice, and I would probably do more harm than good.

I got this advice from Arcibald.

"If you have a storage device that is seen, copy the patch.bin (ex. 0.9.5020) on /dev/xxxx and mount the cramfs on it ... and then reload the old kernel (Opensat) ... at new reboot ... you can regain access to USB Upgrade menu, where you can reformat DOM and reinstall what you want !"
I can find dev, but don't know what xxxx or mount the cramfs means.

So following these instructions from Slarva,

You can recovery manually to original firmware like this, you must have harddisk inside the box and original patch.bin (copy it with ftp program like FileZilla) in there too:
telnet (use Putty or something else) to box
mkdir /hdb
mount /dev/hdb1 /hdb
dd if=/hdb/patch.bin of=/hdb/patch.cra bs=56 skip=1
then will be the cramfs be mounted whith loop
mkdir /Patch
mount -o loop /hdb/patch.cra /Patch
dd if=/Patch/FLASH/loader.bin skip=512 of=/dev/mtdblock4 bs=1024
reboot box

is not going to go well, I am sure if I had a better knowledge of coding then I could do it but I am not confident so could end up with a completely dead box.

Kind regards
James.

Did my first test with the latest E2 version, but no go.
Sharp tele couldn't find HDMI or SCART at all.
Went back one version to .30 and it worked but no sound at all.
Anyway my disecq was ok (10 lnb on WaveFrontier), scans ok.
Looks very promising.
I'm going to wait for the first Beta release.
Keep up the good work team thank fo so far !!

Have you tried this... https://www.satpimps.co.uk/showthread.php?t=141544

I think you need Step. 7 onwards if you have read the tutorial, as you can already FTP/Telnet your box?

Step 7

Now let’s go to transfer the necessary files to the box using FTP
To do this, we connect with our favorite FTP client (I use filezilla). You have to enter the IP address we got on previous step. The user is root, and the password is azbox, as usual. Copy files (Files are in the Files folder of this tutorial):
backup_kernel : Copy it to /MMP on the box
update : Copy it to /tmp on the box


Step 8

Return to the putty windows, where it asks login and password.
The user is root, and the password azbox.
Type:
cd /tmp (We move to /tmp directory)
chmod a+x update (We give the file run permission)
./update /MMP/backup_kernel (start restoration)
The process will begin, and will show progress.
When the process completes, the decoder will reboot, and will come to life!
We have 100% operational box with the original firmware!
Now, we can flash the firmware we want. Don’t forget to make a “Format Application Area” to clean up remnants of previous firmware
