[DBOX-II] Noki dbox 2 flashen via seriele kabel

[spaghetto]

Hallo,

Mocht je net als ik gehad heb je dbox niet kunnen flashen via de normale weg dan is er een weg nog,de seriele aansluiting.

Ik heb op het internet een tutorial gevonden en deze heb ik zelf uitgeprobeerd(moest wel) en het werkt,alleen is erg langzaam.

Hier komt ie en het is in engels.Lsa je slag.

Groeten ,

How To Flash A Dbox2 Using Serial Cable Only.

 

This guide has been written for those who, like myself, found that

the only avenue left open to them was to flash their Dbox2 using a serial

modem lead, as the normal method of using Image Flashing Assistant

(IFA) had not been successful. Make sure before you start this procedure

that you print this info out to make it easier to follow and that you place

the attached file (u-boot.mot) in the root of C drive.

 

Ignore all quotes "" as they are simply there to simplify

matters. Please note that all the input text is "case sensitive" so keep it

in lower case only, no CAPITALS.

 

To start with switch off Dbox from the mains and connect it to

your PC using serial modem cable only, as this method does not require

the use of any network cables or ports. Start up your computer and then

start Hyper Terminal by selecting "Start", then "Run" and then type in

"hypertrm". This will start Hyper Terminal.

 

Hyper Terminal first asks you to give the new connection a name

and an icon, so call the session "dbox" but we can forget about the icon.

Click OK. Then when it says "Connect using" select your appropriate com

port, usually com1. DO NOT select TCP/IP (Winsock). Then you have

to configure the Com port properties, any errors here and the PC will not

communicate with the Dbox, so please double check they are as

follows:-

 

Bits per second - 9600

Data bits - 8

Parity - None

Stop bits - 1

Flow control - Xon/Xoff

 

Press OK to save settings once you have double checked they are as

above. Hyper Terminal should now say that it is "connected" in the

bottom left hand corner of its window. Now press and hold the "UP"

button on your Dbox (not the remote) and turn the power to it back on.

Once you see writing like the example given below displayed in the

Hyper Terminal window it is safe to release the UP button (normally

within seconds).

dbox2:root>

 

At the prompt type "dl 800000" then press Enter. This message

should appear "S record load, offset: 800000"

OK, now click on the "Transfer" tab at the top of Hyper Terminal and

select "send text file", then when the pop up box appears select "All

Files" from the drop down menu at the bottom and then you can

negotiate to the location that you have stored the file named "u-

boot.mot", for this example we will use the root of C drive. Once you

have found it click on it and press "Open" to start the file transfer. At this

point you need to find something to do for 45 minutes or so . There is

also no on screen verification that it is actually doing anything, but have

faith.

 

After the file has been successfully transferred this message should

appear:-

 

"dl: start address 0x800000"

"dbox2:root >"

"dbox2:root >"

 

If so then type in the following:-

 

"chorus 800000" then press Enter. This process starts the file we have

just downloaded. We need to stop the attempted connection by pressing

the "ctrl" and "c" keys together (ctrl+c) on the keyboard. You need to do

this two or three times until the message "Abort" appears. Then type the

following:-

 

"loadb 120000 115200" then press Enter. U-boot announces "## Switch

Baud rate to 115200 bps and press ENTER...". In Hyper Terminal stop

the connection by selecting "Call" then "Disconnect". Click "File" then

"Properties" then "Configure" and change the "Bits per second" from

"9600" to "115200". Click on OK twice to leave the menus.

 

Select "Call" from Hyper Terminal then "Call" from its menu to

reconnect to Dbox. Press Enter on the keyboard to proceed to next step.

U-boot announces "## ready for binary (Kermit) download to

0x00120000 at 115200 bps". Click on "Transfer" again on the top of

Hyper Terminal and select "Send File". At this point you direct the

program to the image that you wish to download into your Dbox. Just

use any one of the images available from the download section as they

are all "Without Bootloader" already. Once image is selected choose

"Kermit" Protocol from the drop down menu at the bottom. Click on

"Send". At this point you need to find something to do for another 45

minutes or so . However, this time you can clearly see the progress of

the transmitted file within Hyper Terminal and the LCD on the Dbox will

show "loading kernel" during the process.

 

After transfer is complete u-boot announces:-

"## total size = 0x007E0000 = 8257536 bytes"

"## start ADDR = 0x00120000"

"## Switch baud rate to 9600 bps and press ESC"

In Hyper Terminal stop the connection by selecting "Call" then

"Disconnect". Click "File" then "Properties" then "Configure" and change

the "Bits per second" back from "115200" to "9600". Click on OK twice to

leave the menus. Select "Call" from Hyper Terminal then "Call" from its

menu to reconnect to Dbox. Press "Escape" key on the keyboard to

proceed to next step. U-boot prompt appears again " = > " so finally

type in these instructions:-

 

"protect off 10020000 107fffff" then press Enter.

"erase 10020000 107fffff" then press Enter and wait approx 1 minute till

it erases all sectors (70 in total).

"cp.l 120000 10020000 1f8000" then press Enter. This starts the internal

Image Flashing process. Wait approx 2 minutes and "Done" should

appear in Hyper Terminal window.

 

Shut down Hyper Terminal program

(you need not save anything) unplug Dbox2 from the mains and remove

serial lead too. Then apply power to your Dbox2 and hopefully you have

just done what you thought was impossible. Well done, you deserve a

cuppa.

en hier dan de U-boot.mot file anders heb je er weinig aan..

 

Toevallig heb ik een niet meer werkende box hier en zal eens testen of het werkt..

Hoi Matchless,

Mijn Nokia kon ik niet meer bereiken via de ethernet aansluiting.

Ik kon alleen via de rs 232 bereiken.

Ik heb er bijna 1,5 uur over gedaan om te flashen.

Het is wel gelukt uitendelijk.

Ik ben benieuwd naar je bevindingen.

Gr.Spaghetto

[Matchless]

Bij mij is het balen.

 

Ik heb 2 decoders en beide doen niet veel meer .

 

1 decoder heeft het altijd gedaan maar geeft nu alleen een verlicht display zonder info. Ook heb ik hier geen seriele of netwerk toegang meer

 

de 2e geeft wel info maar laat eerst het imfo scherm op het display zien en daarna lade...

 

Via de seriele poort zegt hij dat er 32mB ram inzit maar dat er een onbekende flash chip inzit. dit in een continu loop.

 

Dus ik kan nu niks meer testen..eerst een box proberen te repareren.

[spaghetto]

Dat is echt balen.

Bij mij ging het feilloos.Ik moest wel echt heel lang wachten,precies zoals in de tutorial.

Ik gebruik Vista en heb hiervoor hyper terminal ergens gedownload en gebruikt,probleenloos.

Wat jij te zien krijgt via de seriele poort,heb ik nooit gehad,waarschijnlijk is de flash geheugen defect??

 

[BB2000]

@matchless,

 

Is het niet mogelijk om de box opnieuw in debug mode te krijgen??

Voor mij was dit het grootste probleem.

Mijn (Philips) DBOX heeft me heel wat uurtjes gekost voordat dit lukte..

 

Is je 2e box ook dood ten aanzien van UTP/ethernet? Reageerd ie op een ping?

 

Grt,

 

Marcel

[Matchless]

de ene box doet helemaal niks

 

de andere geeft dit in het terminal:

Hmm, ziet er niet leuk uit om zoiets te lezen..

Zou een defecte flashrom kunnen inhouden.

 

Wil zelf deze conclusie nog niet trekken, zou volgende url eens nalopen en kijken of je hiermee je probleem kunt oplossen (wel in Duits.)

Hier wordt tegen de zelfde storing van 0MB aangelopen..

 

 

Ben erg benieuwd of je er mee verder komt..

Hoor graag van je!
