Respected Sir,

Dream Box Dm 920 UHD

1. After flashing the below latest rescue loader, red light on the front side of the dreambox dm 920 is blinking in red always. Dreambox is not booting & getting into setup menu & unable to get the IP address.

zImage-rescue-3.14-r0-dm920-20200511.bin

2. TV Screen displays dreambox explore more & circle is rotating on the top left corner.

3. If I switch off & switch on the dreambox by pressing the red button for few seconds, dreambox lcd displays waiting for DHCP.

Could you please help me in resolving the same.

You need to flash a new image into your box,

Flash our OpenPLi 7.2star image you will find on link below,

DM920UHD OpenPLi 7.2star : http://www.ourdreambox.com/ubbthreads.php?ubb=showflat&Number=21226

Do it, when you have the DHCP on the LCD, as you explained.

Respected sir,

Since, yesterday night, TV Screen displays dreambox discover more & 2 circle(One Big & One Small Circle) is rotating on the top left corner.

I cannot get into the setup menu for identifying the DHCP ip address.

Thanks

Respected Sir,

If I switch off & switch on the dreambox by pressing the red button for few seconds, dreambox lcd displays Rescue Mode waiting for DHCP. & stops there.

Connect to the Mini-USB Service port on the back of the DM920UHD and Putty to enter with the Putty Terminal in Serial mode (from your PC) into the bootloader. It looks like you corrupted something in the box. Naturally your box MUST be connected to the Modem/Router with a RJ45 cable (try to remove and reinsert to see if it gives you an IP address).

If you want I could access your box with Teamviewer 14.x, you need to execute the install file as for private use (not install) and give me the ID+PIN/Pass (via PM naturally), before you will need to have the Putty connected with the mini-USB cable to the box with your computer, and access to the terminal/DM920UHD. I will re-apply the bootloader update that seems to have gone wrong.

Respected Sir,

The reason for the above problem is, yesterday I started updating the latest rescue loader for dreambox dm 920 via ftp. The file name is shown below:-

zImage-rescue-3.14-r0-dm920-20200511.bin

then i executed the below code into telnet

flash-rescue /tmp/*.bin

after running the above code in telnet,message from telnet was:-

manufacturer id : c2
memory type : 20
memory density : 19
read it ok
comparing 2848 sectors
erasing 2846 sectors
writing 45536 pages
verifying 2846 sectors
flash done


Request you to resolve by Teamviewer. I will give you the ID & Password.

Ok, i will connect to putty with mini usb cable & what are the parameters I need to update in putty, in order to access for terminal.

Sure, once you have the Putty/Terminal working let me know.

The COM Port depends of the one selected by your PC for it, but you should be able to find it on the "hardware section" where you have all hardware elements listed of your computer.

Then the speed must be 115200bps.

So you will have to select the Serial in Putty, and write COM? with the port, COM1, COM2, COM3, etc, then add the 115200 speed.

Once all is setup, start the Teamviewer and advise me, so I can take a look at it and tell/help you.

Respected,

This is regarding dream box dm 920

After blinking the red light for number of hours (2 days). Yesterday night once again I switched off & switched on & touched my finger on the blinking red light immediately. All of a sudden my dreambox displayed Rescue Mode http://dm920.local.lan/

Hence, I copied & pasted http://dm920.local.lan/ in the browser
& uploaded the below files with the latest firmware into my dreambox & the dreambox got successfully flashed

dreambox-image-deb-dm920-20200515.tar.xz

Could you please suggest, where I was wrong in telnet after transferring the "zImage-rescue-3.14-r0-dm920-20200511.bin" via FTP

then i executed the below code into telnet

flash-rescue /tmp/*.bin

1. Any other code I need to execute in telnet after flash-rescue /tmp/*.bin so that dreambox do not work in backgound.

2. Presently I am using latest dreambox image. As suggested by you in #21373 - 05/20/20 10:24 AM. Whether I can continue to use

My latest Dreambox image

OR

DM920UHD OpenPLi 7.2star : http://www.ourdreambox.com/ubbthreads.php?ubb=showflat&Number=21226


Sir, please suggest.

The OpenPLi 7.2star is working very well on the DM920UHD, so you can no problem use it in your box, we had more than 15 000 downloads on the past 6 weeks.

Admin

Respected Sir,

Screen shot of the openpli is shown for Dreambox DM900 in the above attachment. Whether this link can be applied for Dreambox DM920 UHD also.

Seen the link for Technomate Nano 3T Combo & its firmware updates is up to 18th Feb 2018. Please suggest can I replace any other latest software, which is compatible for technomate nano 3t combo.

Thanks

Go on the DM920UHD Section for the images, and select the one you want from there.

I only checked the links you published, and both worked. If it wasn't for your box, then go on the right section for your box and find the right link for your box.

Respected Sir,

Regarding Dream Box DM 920 UHD

My box is running with the below software & .bin

dreambox-image-deb-dm920-20200515.tar.xz
zImage-rescue-3.14-r0-dm920-20200511.bin

Now, there is a latest software & .bin available @ https://www.dreamboxupdate.com/opendreambox/2.5/unstable/images/dm920/index.php which is shown below:-

dreambox-image-deb-dm920-20200526.tar.xz
zImage-rescue-3.14-r0-dm920-20200525.bin

My concern is, in order to flash
"dreambox-image-deb-dm920-20200526.tar.xz" how to install "zImage-rescue-3.14-r0-dm920-20200525.bin"

Thanks

You don't have to flash the bootloader, that stays inside the box (it's a different partition), and the image doesn't need to be flashed again, you just have to do the online update that is available in the Parameters menu of the image/GUI. It will update the software differences between the 26 and 11 version, and you will have all good and upated.

Admin

Respected Sir,

I switched off & switched on & touched my finger on the blinking red light immediately. My dreambox dm 920 displays rescue mode waiting for DHCP instead of http://dm920.local.lan/

This happens always, after updating the latest software.

In the post #21380 - 05/21/20 03:24 PM 20200515.tar.xz software was successfully flashed, with http://dm920.local.lan/

Could you please suggest.

Pressing the frontpanel button you set your box to rescue mode, you should flash the new image and it will boot normaly.

Or the other option is to send the reverting commands, to set it as boot and no more rescue mode. Telnet/SSH to the rescue modem/partition and then send command below.



Admin

Respected sir,

1st Option is not working for me. Message on LCD Display "Rescue Mode - Waiting for DHCP". Is there any alternate for bringing the "Rescue Mode To http://dm920.local.lan/

2nd Option, i have not understood. Telnet/SSH to the rescue modem/partition. After sending the below code, whether I will get option for flashing latest firmware.

"echo "normal" >> /proc/stb/fp/boot_mode && reboot"

Thanks

Your box is set on "rescue" mode so you have to change this, sending the command while you are logged in terminal mode (telnet/ssh). For it use Telnet on your PC computer or Putty software.



Admin

Respected Sir,

After sending the below code via telnet

Code:

echo "normal" >> /proc/stb/fp/boot_mode && reboot

Message from telnet was
*** Server has closed***

Again, by pressing the red button for few seconds on the front panel shows "Rescue Mode waiting for DHCP"

Could you please guide me what is the next step

The box should now reboot (as you see you have at the end of the command the "reboot" command).

And the DM920UHD should be in "normal" mode now, and no more in "rescue" mode.

Admin

Respected Sir,

Again, by pressing the red button for few seconds on the front panel shows "Rescue Mode waiting for DHCP"

Could you please guide me what is the next step.

If you press the frontpanel boutton when you turn on the box it WILL ALWAYS go in RESCUE MODE... what do you expect it else to do ?

TS

Respected Sir,

I need to flash the below latest image into DM920UHD

dreambox-image-deb-dm920-20200526.tar.xz

Previous images was flashed via "Rescue mode http://dm920.local.lan/"

Thanks

The rescue mode is set to flash an image, so if you press the frontpanel button it's for flashing an image.

Then once you have the address IP or dm920.local.lan, you flash the image with your browser (Chrome, Explorer/Edge, Firefox, Safari etc).

Admin

Respected Sir,

1.) If front panel of LCD displays
"Rescue mode http://dm920.local.lan/"
Then I can copy http://dm920.local.lan/ in the browser & flash the latest firmware.

2.) Now My dreambox dm920 displays
"Rescue mode - Waiting for DHCP" by this message I will not be able to flash the latest firmware.

Please suggest.

If it waits for an IP from the DHCP, check your network and cabling... as it means the box doesn't communicate with your Router/Modem. You can always reboot your modem, generally it fixes bugs and problems as you have. As the problem is due to your network and box not connected to it... not the box itself.

You have a network problem. The "Waiting DHCP" is normal, as it requests from your modem an IP address, and waits until your modem gives one to it. It can take various minutes to obtain it.
