Dream box blocked

Solved/Closed
Hello,
When I plug in my Dreambox 500s, I can't do anything with the remote, not even turn it off.

Could this be due to a problem with the satellite dish?

Yeah thanks for a response

  1. Good evening,

    I had exactly the same problem as you, I had a clone and it was blocked by flashing a firmware. At the time I had a contact who sold me the JTAG lol

    in a few minutes it was done, it returned to its normal state... 185 euros saved.

      1. Hello,

        I searched just like you,

        I saved my Dreambox with a tutorial that is sold on eBay

        it was very easy to do.

    2. Hello
      Here is the trick for blocked DREAM
      You need to download DREAMUP / GEMINI 410 and a FEMALE RS232 or USB to RS232 cable
      And redo your DREAM
      And voila everything works again
      For more info you can send me a message or MSN /xxxxxx@live.fr
      good luck

      1. It depends on the situation, apparently you’ve never bricked a demo :p

        A simple flashing doesn’t work in some situations, and to recover the device you have to flash directly to the memory.

      2. @tsopranoGood evening tsoprano,
        how to flash directly a DM 500 directly onto memory?, because I can’t flash it neither with DreamUp nor with DCC: IP address unknown.

      3. @vaud2GOOD EVENING
        IS IT NORMAL THAT YOUR IP IS PLOTTING?
        YOU NEED TO BOOT DREAMUP, YOU NEED TO UNPLUG YOUR RS CABLE WHICH IS CONNECTED BEHIND YOUR DREAMBOX, LEAVE IT ON AND THEN RECONNECT NORMALLY, IT WORKS, YOUR BAR FILLS UP
        AND YOU CAN FLASH IT
        GOOD LUCK

      4. @ALERTE38Good evening and thank you for your response. I tried your trick but I can't flash the DM500C. I have another Dreambox 500C which I have flashed several times without any problem, whereas with this one I can't. It seems to me that this is a Chinese clone that is locked. I would like to flash with Nabilosat.
        Best regards.

    3. Hello everyone and SALAM to all, I’d like information about the Dreambox 500-S. Before connecting it to the internet there were channels, and once I connected it, all the channels showed “service not found.” This morning I tried to turn it on again to use it, and to my surprise the LED is stuck on green and I can’t reset it. If you have any answers, thank you. I’m a total beginner with the words used; please use understandable terms.

      1. Hello,

        By turning on my dm 500 again, there’s no image, only the green indicator light on (it was configured in Tunisia with a one-year subscription...) after 5 days of use IT Fails!!! How to repair it while keeping that sharing configuration, basically without flashing it?

        I would be very grateful to anyone who wants to help me :-(

      2. Hello,
        when I boot my Dreambox 500, I see the green LED but inside I see an orange light although it is supposed to be green. The Dream works correctly for about 5 minutes, then the image freezes and I no longer have control of the remote.

      3. Hello my friend.

        I have a solution to your problem. We can unlock the Dreambox 500; I’ve done it for mine. In general, it is unfortunately accepted that if a box is blocked, it is dead if it cannot start. We can talk about it if you want on MSN: my nickname is xxxxxxx@hotmail.com. It should work for you too. Otherwise, if you want, call me at 00-216-23-409-007; I am in Tunisia; we can arrange an appointment on MSN. You can then post the solution on the forum if it works (we’ll do it together) so that everyone can benefit.

        Cheers to you; see you soon if you wish

        3. No one is talking to you about miracle solutions!!!

          Just an instruction manual to perform a JTAG on the set-top box.

          We can talk about programming... but not miracles.

          You know, there may be explanations for "unexplainable phenomena"...

      6. Hello,

        Is there anyone in RP who could reconfigure my DM 500 S clone for me? I don’t understand anything about flashwizard, RS-232, RJ45 crossed, it’s all Greek to me.

        I’m in the southern part of the Paris region, and if someone knows how to handle it well, I’d be interested.

        Thanks in advance to everyone.

        1. Hello,

          I recently (two weeks ago) bought a DreamBox 500S in Morocco, the seller tested it in front of me, everything worked fine. When I returned to France and tried it, I plugged it in correctly in place of my parents' ordinary decoder (which works without issue), and there it says "Service not found". So I brought it to my cousin who has the same one to try, and at his place it works without any problem... Both of us have a dual head.

          Could someone please help me?

          Thank you in advance.

          1. Hello,
            Have you tried swapping the LNBs (Astra instead of Hotbird and Hotbird in place of Astra). I had the same problem and the solution was very simple. I hope it works for you too ;-)
            0
          2. Yes, you need to invert the LNBs
            In the config it’s simple: if Astra is on LNB 1, set it to 2, and Hotbird on 2 set it to 1. Save, turn off and on again, and if it doesn’t work, rescan Astra and Hot with these new settings and it will work.

          3. I am looking for a person who can reinstall my Dream 7000S 3V, which has lost all the channels, and I had someone in Belgium who had installed all this with encrypted channels, but since September I have had no news, I touched something and now I have nothing at all, and I myself do not know how to do this, and since I am 80% disabled and bedridden, I only have this to keep me entertained and also the internet, so if someone would kindly help me, that would be nice. Thanks in advance.

            I have an 85 cm dish and a dual LNB at 19.2° and 13°.

            Have a good day.

            Sincere regards,

          1. Hi xénoplus,

            this message appears when it's a clone, and you put a firmware with protections on it.

            It is now possible to repair it. but if you just bought it, have the warranty exercised.

            otherwise, I bought a JTAG for the DM500 on eBay. however, it is very, very hard to find!

            1. No, it’s not a problem with the parabola, but with the Dream Box. They all have this, don’t worry, it’s normal.
