I just bought a genuine dm900 with dreamOS 4.3.1r27-2018-03-20 experimental on it, kindly help me on the followings:
1 - How do i do a full back up of whats in the box (everything) so that if i face a problem during upgrade or installing other OSs i can restore to factory?
2 - Where can i download the latest genuine Openpli and Openatv images?
3 - How can i tell what bootloader do i have installed?
4 - I tried running ntpd for time sync but it seems not installed, tried installing with apt update and apt install but package not found
5 - I have seen this in more than one dream the timezone setting is correct but actual box time is out, is there a workaround this issue?
Sorry for the many questions

Unfortunately, from dreamboxupdate. There is no bootloader for dm900 clone. Only original. Try to read my experience with bootloader on jb8a8f8.com forum.
So what options do i have ?
-
Try with another image and try another 5 Amp 12 V adapter, if you have installed an HDD, remove it for the tests.
Unfortunately i don't have another adapter but i have tried many images without success. No HDD installed

Old bootloader? This is the problem. Chinese not made new bootloader and no one else.
Thanks, how do i update the bootloader?
-
Be SURE you use the PSU that was provided with the box, that is 5 Amp... and not the old PSU that you used with your precedent box... often users do this way, and keep the PSU on the box, without replacing the old one as well...
Yes I am using the adapter that came with the box

I bought a clone dm900 from AliExpress TopChiStar Store, the box is constantly freezing only the sound works and i have to power off/on. I have tried many of the sim230 images to no avail, i have tried it without network, with disconnected HDMI cable and still same please comment on below suggestions:
1 - Assuming tuner issue, buy an original tuner and fix in the box but not sure if the clone image would accept it its about $100
2 - Wait until new images show and install assuming drivers issue
3 - Assuming sim issue buy a new sim card, not sure if an original sim can be obtained or should i buy a japhar sim
Highly appreciate any other suggestions

I have just bought the dm900 with openpli 6.2, i have also tried openatv 6.0 and 6.3 also SIM230_dreambox-image-deb-dm900-20180425.tar.xz. and i am still having the same issue i have even tried configuring one tuner at a time but still same issue. I don't know how signal strength would affect this new receiver and not my old DM7020hd on same wiring. can someone please explain. I have checked one of the channels signal strength it is 8.0 dB
