Hello,
I've a DM800SE clone (Sunray SR4) with SIM 2.10
I've installed a new Dream-elite image, configured and wanted to make a backup (a .nfi file). I guess I installed wrong plugin because as I remember that opkg installed other packages too which were named to *mtd*. And the box doesn't boot anymore.
After switching on the message "NO CA or image, 2nd failed!" pops up and finally stuck with the message "BIOS NO CA FOUND" with few seconds later. No change even if I press mini-flashup button during poweron.
The SIM card and the SIM connector was cleaned.
I started to search the net for the problem and I've found a lot of solved solutions with DreamUp, Sunray-Flashup, Dreambox Optiflasher (v1.0.6 and v2.0.0.6) and NCF Repair Tools. I installed all the above softwares but I stuck in the beginning: the softwares didn't detect the box (I turned the box on when the SW requested). So the serial "dreamup" protocol seems not to work for me.
I fall back to build virtual console to catch the boot messages, maybe it has some useful info. The hyperterminal failed (just displayed garbage when I turned on the box). I tried out not only the 115200 8N1 as COM-port setup but other baud rates too: no success.
I returned to Linux and started the minicom. It also displayed just garbage. What was strange here that the same garbage was displayed at baud rate 9600 and 115200. ???
I tried out 2 different USB cables, used other USB ports. I tried at an other PC too, here the Hyperterminal was running in a virtual XP (Virtualbox). The similar garbage apperaed as in the native XP. I think I can exclude the HW problem of the PC and USB cable.
I've read enough articles to think that my chance to get my box back is not too high. Finally I removed the SIM card to see what happens. The box behaved the same.
I couldn't find too much detailed info how the boot process is going on and how the SIM is involved in it (if it's involved at all).
So I would like to ask the experts what can I do here?
- is it possible to fix the service connection anyhow?
- is it worth to buy a new SIM? Has a chance that it's wrong?
- is it safe to get out a SIM from an other box and make a try? I mean under the safe that the "replace-SIM" cannot be destroyed?
- using a recovery compact flash image,
- booting with TFTP (is it possible without accessing the service port?)
- other
or simple buy a new box?
Thanks in advance
