I tried this box. that box when connected to tv, doesn't show nothing, only the led stays on and nothing on the screen.
when tested with remote control the led doesn't blink.
I think this dm has dead. thanks

Hi ervini

Before try JTAG method, I would suggest you to reflash it.

Download the last openpli image from here:

-http://downloads.pli-images.org/builds/dm500/OpenPLi-beta-dm500-20130505-305.zip

and flash the box with null modem cable (avoid lan cable) and dreamup.

If the box is not alive, then the only way is to use the JTAG method.

Re: dm 500

Re: dm 500

It's a shame that the dreambox is not alive and needs jtag.
That's means that someone with knowledge on soldering must do the job.

Here is a video that describe the procedure:

Also tell to your friend that can find in the market a new clone with 40-50€.

Re: dm 500

Do you fix your dm.
Are you sure dreamup method dont work?
Use null cable,not with lan you cant connect

put null cable to back of pc and back of dm
Start dreamup program and click connect
Turn on dreambox
If you get ,,box alive and speaking to us'' then be sure you can flash dm

@ervini

Don't forget, that dreambox clones are very unstable and don't work with all version of dreamup.

So, you may have to test different versions of dreamup in order to find a working version for the box.

Re: dm 500

The Clone DM500s will only work with this version Dreamup1339 all others do not work correctly for flashing via RS232

Re: dm 500

Serial port might be another issue: if you don't have a native serial port in your pc, i.e. you are using an usb to rs232 adapter, be sure to use the right device driver.
I've seen many adapters (with wrong drivers) working fine with other applications but not with dreamup.

bro thank's for your help the box is dm 500 T clone

Re: dm 500

bro thank's for your help the box is dm 500 T clone

It doesn't matter if it's 500T or 500S, the receiver is the same and the procedure of flashing also is the same.

The only difference is that the T version has tuner for terrestrial channels and the S version for satellite channels.

Try again the Dreamup1339 and use an old pc with a serial port.

Re: dm 500

Also dreamup 1.3.3.4 works well with clones, you can try it.
