Hi there. Are you using the abcom enigma image ar a dgs based image? Definately souunds like a bootloader problem. Have you recently changed from an enigma based image to a dgs based image. If so you must flash the box with an "all" image and not a "noboot" image as these images contain no bootloaders. So you may have an enigma image with a dgs bootloader or vice versa. Do you have the required software and the correct usb lead to reflash.

You will need a program called flashtools and the usb vesta driver.

Thanks for ur kind help. I have no clue if the image is enigma based or dgs. What I did is I pressed reboot enigma and the box freaked out in stead of retart box. Thanks

@ powel000,
I use Mutant 200 and recently flashed an AB Enigma image, and experienced the very same problem. Another con for this image that its database supports 4 satellites only. That was more than enough to intimidate me.
I flashed my receiver with SifTeam-1.9.3C and very happy with its stability. Still configuring the image to meet my requirements.

If you don't have a good reason to use AB Enigma I recommend SifTeam image.

Sifteam image differs abcom enigma image as the followings

Sifteam image
+Fast zapping
+Easy to use
+Stability
-Skins

Abcom Image
+IPK Files
+Skins
-No holding on remember the last channel.I think This is general problem because of eprom.

400S has a flash memory capacity of 8mb but I met box halted when I totally downloaded image,skins,addons and etc. bigger than 8mb

@Kamaxx
You are right mate the channel zapping is TERRIBLY fast!!! Very good point for SifTeam. I should say that my system has gone read-only, and so I have to reflash it to solve the problem. I think my system has gone read-only because I didn't changed the mID value at the first bootup. At that time I got no clue what that mID things is.

@ Powel0000
Ok mate! You suffer most among us all. Have you chosen another image or what?

The AbCom enigma image for the 400s is rock solid, I have been using it 24/7 for months, as a server to peers and my Dreambox 800 & 500, I have tried others but always end up going back as reliability is required, I know this image will run perfect and i can leave the house safe that my box wont lock up and leave my friends missing the match, *****

@tomthebomb1968
I ve got no clue how an 400s image will perform on a 400s box. But the general rule is to keep playing with the box to minimum and add required plugins ONLY. As a beginner I will expect a lot of hangings, haltings, read-only systems. I am still a beginner as far as linux-based STBs are concerned. After having flashed about 5 images, I am, honestly, proud that I have never had to JTAG my box YET !!!

Hi m8,
I have flashed my receiver with SifTeam 1.9.3C and this is the second time my systems goes read-only. Although I changed the model ID to 20 right at the first boot, it went read only after less than 24hours.

What am I doing wrong

 

[tomthebomb1968]

Try changing the mid to 40 or Dreamox 7000

Ok man,

I did try this but no luck. I also tried many other images than SifTeam and still have the same problem.

On a brighter note, NOT all folders are read only. I also found from other forums that the majority of Enigma based images have the same restriction when you try to modify the contents of specific folders such as the /share folder. In other words, the creators of Enigma based images deliberately compile those images and add the read only restriction to some sensitive folders such as the /share folder.

I will be grateful if you can post a link to an Enigma based image for relook 200s and doesn't have this silly limitation.

As a Linux fan, I will also try to look around for a way to remove this terrible attribute from the required folders. Or if you know how, then you will save my life .

Cheers,
