  • Hi I've an original dreambox with A8P sim (security sim a8p), I would like install the last image openpli or openatv, were can I find image compatible with my box?

    P.S.

    Is my box v1 or v2? How can I understand that? On the label below is written only 800 HD SE, not v1 or v2.

    Thanks

  • Hi thank you, I installed openpli 7 becouse 6.3 and 6.2 of openatv wouldn't start at all. Do you know were can I take file of Italian language? In this image is not present Italian. Thanks again

  • I have a couple of (or 3) solutions which will rejuvenate your old machine!


    1) Try OpenPLI


    The reason is that the OpenPLi images are usually smaller, leaner and meaner and therefore more suitable for older machines with a seriously small flash.


    Nevertheless, one has to expand one's Flash because it's extremely limited by today's standards.


    How? Well, you:


    a) add a large enough USB stick, which you

    -previously partition in your PC into 2 partitions, using, for instance, Mini Tool Partition Wizard freeware, in EXT4 format

    -mount the smaller one as /media/usb and

    -the bigger as /media/cf;


    b) later add an HDD to the mix and mount it as /media/hdd...


    To /media/usb one expands one's limited flash memory, using the Flash Expander plugin - it will move the /usr folder to it.


    To /media/cf one makes a SWAP file, sends EPG to it, also picons, buffering and cache for E2iPlayer/IPTV Player, save subtitles for films streaming etc.


    To /media/hdd one sends only recording & timeshift, plus one downloads films via E2iPlayer, if one is so inclined and if there is enough space to do it.


    OK, I have an old Ferrari 500 HD, which is very similar to your old machine, so it is all very much alike...


    So, here is something for it I prepared earlier, since I can't replicate it all here now (too long and too many attachments, screenshots etc.), so I will just post a link to my precise, detailed and painstakingly careful guide to rejuvenating your old machine, where you can download all the tools for it, too! ;)

    You may have to register to get the files and see links there but it will be worth it! This above is with OpenPLi image for it...


    On the other hand, if you want something more modern and fresh, up-to-date and properly supported, then you could get...


    2) PurE2 - you might love it... It used to have a built-in Flash Expander (now, I think you can download it from MENU > PLUGINS > EXTENSIONS)! And a lot more, starting from the best Device Manager which - for older devices - is crucial to set up an image structure properly! I.e. a properly done/prepared image structure will make it do things it "normally" can't do...


    You have on this forum my posts aplenty, as to how to install PurE2, configure it, get your CamDs, FNC plugins and a lot more... Here is a link to my discussion re. PurE2 image version for Japhar SIM card, with a "how to" to resize it, expand it and so on...

    You will find there an appropriate image for your box, too, as you can use original images for it, I believe.


    I wrote there the following, amongst other things:

    One removes the bits of E2 one doesn't need. One must be careful here. I do it via Telnet, using the following command (which you should modify according to your needs/requirements/etc. - this one below is for MY needs):


    Code
    opkg remove --force-depends --force-remove tzdata-africa tzdata-americas tzdata-asia tzdata-australia tzdata-pacific sambaserver samba rt61-firmware packagegroup-base-ipv6 openssh-sftp-server kernel-module-r* kernel-module-usbserial kernel-module-zd1211rw enigma2-plugin-systemplugins-positionersetup enigma2-plugin-systemplugins-mphelp firmware-* enigma2-plugin-drivers* volatile-media rtmpdump kernel-module-mac80211 kernel-module-at* enigma2-plugin-extensions-epgsearch enigma2-plugin-extensions-cutlisteditor enigma2-plugin-extensions-supportchannel enigma2-plugin-systemplugins-autobouquetsmaker enigma2-plugin-systemplugins-commoninterfaceassignment enigma2-plugin-systemplugins-cablescan dropbear kernel-module-belkin-sa kernel-module-pl2303 kernel-module-ftdi-sio enigma2-plugin-systemplugins-blindscan


    Reboot.


    Now, I have 4MB free in my flash. Go to MENU > Plugins > Extensions > Flash Expander > install > EXIT button.


    Start Flash Expander and install it on the smaller 2GB partition (it will later on appear as /usr, as you'll see soon). Restart will follow, after it moves the /usr folder content to USB /media/usb partition.


    I then use a SWAP Manager, to create a SWAP file (512MB) on /media/cf partition, activate it and I also make it "autostart" with E2."

    PurE2 has a SWAP MANAGER INCLUDED in DEVICE MANAGER nowadays, so no worries, you'll see it in PMANAGER > DEVICE MANAGER.


    It also has built-in tools to direct E2 towards the folders for picons (it should be in media/cf/picon folder, in my setup) or to send EPG to /media/cf and so on and so forth...


    Good luck!


    P.S.


    3) There is another possibility but YOU ARE GOING TO TRY IT AT YOUR OWN RISK ONLY, AS I CAN NOT GUARANTEE IT WILL WORK WITH A DIFFERENT SIM CARD FROM THE ORIGINAL ONE, AND THAT IT WILL NOT FUCK UP YOUR MACHINE ("compliments" of the author, gutemine):

    The "Flodder" script will move everything from the flash to a USB stick (single partition large enough stick) and hence give you loads of space in a simple manner.... IF it works... Better and faster USB sticks should give you better performance... But not all will work...


    PurE2 has a script to do it (moving of everything, i.e. "root" folder to flash) via remote controller, very neatly and simply, in 800HD SE:

    MENU > PMANAGER > SCRIPTS...

    "Enlightenment is man's emergence from his self-incurred immaturity. Immaturity is the inability to use one's own understanding without the guidance of another. This immaturity is self-incurred if its cause is not lack of understanding, but lack of resolution and courage to use it without the guidance of another. The motto of enlightenment is therefore: Sapere aude! Have courage to use your own understanding!"

  • If you do not have 2 x USB ports or 1 USB port and 1 eSATA port (for HDD) buy a cheap USB HUB...

  • Btw, our chief coders tells me that your A8 SIM card means that you CAN use PurE2 for original DB800HD SE.:cool1:


    That means that the 3rd solution is best for you! Easy and simple and no problem at all!:thumbup:


    The script is actually included in PurE2, as I said, so remote control and - enjoy...:rasta2bigsmoke0gf1:

  • 0) Do not be lazy or insecure - there is loads of help out there, online, for any kind of question!


    So, put your questions into DuckDuckGo search engine!!!



    1) Get your image, like here:

    Code
    http://pur-e2.club/OU/images/index.php?dir=6.2/dmm/

    2) How to do it? Remember: IIYF!

    Code
    Flash it like so: https://duckduckgo.com/?q=how+to+flash+Enigma2+into+DB800HD+SE%3F&t=ffsb&ia=videos

    For instance:

    DM800 HD se Flashing firmware by Browser

    Flashing a new firmware by Browser

    What you need to flash

    You need the image file you want to flash. Image files have the extension *.nfi. You can't flash other

    images like *.img files. Don't try it - it won't work.

    You need either a DHCP server and a configured bootloader

    You need a browser and a network cable. Connect your Dreambox to a switch/hub/router in your lokal LAN.

    To flash a new image, you can use the second stage loader. It must be present and not broken.

    The following steps assume you have a DHCP server.

    - Power down the Dreambox, either using "shutdown" and by switching off by the power switch.

    Standby is not enough!

    - (1.) Press and hold the power button.

    - (2.) Switch on your Dreambox.

    - (3.) Your Dreambox will get the next free DHCP IP address from your router.

    - Now, open a browser on your PC.

    (1.) enter in the address line "http://ip/" .

    - (2.) on the bottom of the page, there's a link called "firmware upgrade". Click it.

    webinterface2.jpg

    - On the next page, you can select the flash image you want to flash. be sure that it has the ".nfi" extension.

    You can't flash other images (like .img)!

    - Click on "FLASH!" and wait. It might take some time to upload and flash the image.

    - Switch the box off again, and on again. The new image should be flashed and working.


    3) Then, use the Flodder to expand your flash by moving everything to a USB stick, like so:

    Good luck!
