Nokia Dbox2 2xI doesnt boot, nothing on LCD, some logo on TV

[mash4077]

I start to remember, this is a restriction in v1.6...

my dbox2 only works if there is betanova software on the box, becouse lcd doesnt work...

remote control have all the keys i need..

i just need BN2.01 and will be ok...

[mash4077]

Im sure that your dBox will work with yadi too.

but it hangs and displays only what i have written before

if i could know how to repair it it will be great, but it always hangs...

probably i should upload ucodes, but i dont know how to connect to FTP... which IPs do i have to use (i use 192.168.5.3 for PC and 192.168.5.7 for dbox)

[mash4077]

Normaly after flashing yadi (since v1.9.02), it starts with an LCD boot menu that automatically starts the "Neutrino" entry after few seconds of no user action. Listen to the serial interface during boot up. Try pressing "OK" on your remote control until a language dialog appears on your tv screen. Network can then be configured.

i cannot do enything to somehow interupt the process and set the correct ip address. Can i boot it with some other image from my harddrive and then write configuration and ucodes on dbox2?

now i flashed dbox2 with this image: alexW2xImageV1[1].7.1.200402171738r
and is working! but i have to access the service menu. How can i do that with universal RC?
Please help...

[mash4077]

Can i boot it with some other image from my harddrive and then write configuration and ucodes on dbox2?

Probably. For that the dbox can boot over network with a yadd installed on your harddisk.

How can i do that with universal RC?Please help...

Don't know... try to find the right settings for your remote control...

i have now solved all the above problems (well not all )...
dbox2 is now running on alexW neutrino (latest snapshot) image.

Now i know that there is something wrong with LCD, so i shut it down in settings.

BUT it only runs becouse some [rescue] process started after that message:
clear failed: Device or resource busy
graphic mode failed: Device or resource busy

is this a special process only in alexW images or can i find it in other images too?? and how to activate it?

Thanks again both for helping me!

[Znida]

anybody know how to activate that RESCUE process on other images?

[mash4077]

is this a special process only in alexW images or can i find it in other images too?? and how to activate it?

Hi,

as far as i know there is no special process, all images are based on the same tuxbox-cvs. AlexW-Images are rather old because AlexW has retired from the image build process.

regards
mash

[Znida]

well maybe they are but they dont activate that, so it freezes the box and thats it

which image could i also try?
What is diference between Enigma and Neutrino?
It is very confusing; too many images, too many settings...

[mash4077]

There are a lot of legale images that you could try, but unfortunately all of these images need to configure the network after the first boot. No chance without working LCD.

Enigma and Neutrino are both graphical user interfaces, a matter of taste...

Look at this AFTER FLASHING (first boot):

Now the image WORKS! How come that other images dont?

[Znida]

Now the other image worked as well. I typed IP blindly indo Dbox2 and press OK key. Then the booting resumed. Is this why it worked?

I can't remember that i ever seen this before. Also i don't know if this is a part of the tuxbox-cvs or in fact a special AlexW-Tool. He did a lot of patches to his images...

Yes, cool!

Now you can check the ip-address by d-box-key > Einstellungen > Netzwerk

it all works OK now (besides LCD)
