Thanks for the reply,it was a japhar image I flashed by mistake(this'll teach me to read the whole of the thread title next time!)
I've tried the japhar flasher too,still no joy.Added a couple of photos to show where I get up to

Hello Oily,

Probably then it's time to get a Japhar Sim ;o) from http://www.japhar.com/japhar/, the DM800HD is capable of running ALL Japhar images, Ferrari images and Sim2 (2.01/2.10). Just installing the Japhar Sim, your box will then boot smoothly... as a Japhar image is already loaded ;o)

At what I see, if this is the JapharFlasher, did you connected your Rj45 cable to the Router as well as the Rj45 or Wifi of your laptop to the same router ?

Also you need the Rs232 cable connected to the PC, and if possible with a REAL Rs232 port on your laptop.

If both points above are ok, then it should be fine, and you would restore it.

If you use a USB-Rs232, then most probably your problem comes from there.

Remember that with the JapharFlasher, you don't need any "unlock button" tool, as the SSL inside the JapharFlasher should work with ALL Sim, original and all clone sims. So if you don't get the button it means there is a connection problem (Rj45 or Rs232) and this cannot be fixed with "software trick" but only with proper cables/connections.

Did you validated the Rj45 communication/IP ? As for me it is not capable of switching from the Rs232 mode to the WebInterface to upload the data. Put both, box and PC to the same router, that's the best and easiest.

Probably the last resort to buy a new sim .DM800 is connected via RS232 to a real RS232 port on the PC,PC is connected to the same router but via wifi.

How do you go about 'validating' the rj45 communication/ip?

Thanks for the reply

Please do me a full screenshot of the JapharFlasher when you try to flash the DM800HD box, and don't use any "tool", just run it and do the screenshot of all the JapharFlasher window when it stays/freezes so I can see all details at that point.

First thing you need to know is if your serial port is working.
Connect the box with a rs232 null modem cable, and check with a rs232 terminal modem software as Putty or Hyperterminal if the port still working.

And nearly forgotten to say.., Use wxp and a pc with a real db9 rs232 comport to flash the box.

Only got W7 and PC has a real RS232 com port which is working johnny

It's a big job, but I would go this way...

Install on your Win7 PC, VirtualBox (VM) and then WinXP on a Virtual Machine, then use your Com Port via that VM with JapharFlasher, and let us know how it goes.

Cheers,will give that a go

Managed to find a hard drive with XP on but still no joy? Any ideas as to why it won't?Cheers

You need to have both cables rj45 and rs232, and naturally the network/IP must be as well activated.
