http://www.denktenk.com/modules/wfdow ... visit.php?cid=50&lid=1196


STEP 1

We need to change our U-boot loader (1.3.1 or higher) to a multiboot loader. To do that,
your receiver must be flashed with a Sifteam, PKT or ipbox standard image (not Enigma2 image)

a) Connect the rs232able from your receiver to your PC your receiver must be off from the main power switch.

b) Run puTTy and chose serial. Type at serial line the correct COM port (the com port that your RS232 is connected)
and type at speed 115200 then click at open button.

c) Switch on your receiver and hit Ctrl and Z together until you see at the putty screen Cuberevo>
If you fail switch off the receiver and retry. Type or copy paste the text below

setenv menu_1 'setenv ipaddr 192.168.5.107;setenv serverip 192.168.5.105;setenv gateway 192.168.5.254;setenv netmask 255.255.255.0;setenv bootusb "run bootargsusb;usb reset;ext2load usb 0:1 a5ff0000 boot/uImage;bootm a5ff0000";setenv bootargsusb "setenv bootargs console=ttyAS1,115200 panic=3 root=/dev/sdb1 rw rootdelay=10 init=/bin/devinit ip=$ipaddr:$serverip:$gateway:$netmask mem=128m coprocessor_mem=4m@0x10000000,4m@0x10400000";setenv bootcmd "run bootusb";saveenv;boot'

and press enter then type or copy paste:

setenv menu_2 'setenv ipaddr 192.168.5.107;setenv serverip 192.168.5.105;setenv gateway 192.168.5.254;setenv netmask 255.255.255.0;setenv bootargs "console=ttyAS1,115200 panic=3 root=/dev/mtdblock3 bigphysarea=1500 ip=$ipaddr:$serverip:$gateway:$netmask quiet";setenv bootcmd "bootm a0060000";saveenv;boot'

and press enter. Now type:

saveenv

and press enter to save your configuration.


Be sure that you change the ipaddr, servrip, gateway and netmask with your LAN settings

ipaddr= the ip address of your receiver
serverip = the ip address of your pc
gateway = the ip address of your router
netmask = netmask!!

To find out your pc ipaddress the gateway and the netmask: double click at your local area connection at your pc then click support.

d) Now switch off your receiver ( allways from the main power switch!! ) press at remote control 2 and switch on your receiver keep pressing 2 for about 5 to 10 sec.
Ok now your receiver booting from the standard image. (if you switch off and switch on again your receiver will be booting from the standard image dosent need to press again 2.)


Step 2

a) As your receiver is turned on and working with a standard image, plug in the usb stick.
b) Run KCC type the ipaddress, the username and the password on Telnet and FTP fields.
c) Click on test to be sure that everything is ok.
d) Now click at the experts button. If you can see the SDB icon you are in the right way if not switch off your receiver and make the step 2 from the begining.
e) Right click to the sdb and make a new partition with ext2 or ext3 (doesn't matter) file system. you can make more than one partitions.
f) As you finish with the partition switch off the receiver plugout the usbstick then switch on the receiver wait until the standard image load and then plug inthe usb stick again.
g) Download and unzip the Enigma2 SifTeam 0.2.0 mod PKT beta 3.0b image on your desktop. Its better to this point to rename the Enigma2 SifTeam 0.2.0 mod PKT beta 3.0b
to enigma2, now at your desktop you must have a file enigma2.tar.gz. (approx 60Mb) Also its better to unzip the enigma2.tar.gz file to enigma2.tar with the 7zip program.
h) Run the FTP client and put the enigma2.tar (or enigma2.tar.gz) from your desktop to your receiver at mnt/usb/usb0 path.

Step 3

a) Run putty at telnet mode type the ipaddress of the receiver then click at open button.
b) Logging in telnet mode and type this command:

cd /mnt/usb/usb0

and press enter then type the command:

tar xvf enigma2.tar

and press enter. If you have the enigma2.tar.gz type the command

tar xvfz enigma2.tar.gz

Wait until finish (takes about 30-45 minutes)
c) switch off your receiver.

Step 4

a) Press at your remoote control 1 and then turn on your receiver.
b) Wait about 10 minutes for the first boot
c) Check at the receiver lcd panell to chose the output (Scart RCA HDMI etc)

Step 5 (Final step)

If everything works fine go with your ftp at etc/resolv.conf edit and change the 192.168.1.1 to your router ipaddress. This is important to have your receiver internet access.

ATTENTION: If you want to boot from flash the standard image, before you do it remove the usb stick from your receiver.

tar xzf enigma2.tar.gz
and this work.
0000000000000000000000000000000000000

*****try again., reread this thread. ,create single partition,format it ,copy enigma file, unmount your usb.
and re-enter bootarg.

you dont need usb0 , you can

cd /mnt/usb
mkdir bro1

mount -t ext2 /dev/sda1 /mnt/usb/bro1

your usb is now mounted on bro1 directory.


after you finish unpaking enigma file, run

cd /
umount /dev/sda1
or
umount /mnt/usb/bro1
now you can unplug your usb*******************

How to install Enigma2_PKT and 0.2.0.

Installing E2 to USB stick on IPbox9000HD the way i do it.

There seems to be quite a few people struggling to Flash the E2 image from a USB stick, so here i am trying to simplify it for those people.


I am using NLB image 8728 ( only because i got a full working backup )
8728 version here



or you can use one of the Cli images , or Sifteam ones, depends on what you want to try at the time.


1. you must have a USB stick and needs to be formatted in Linux mode, ext2 or ext3 . I use Paragon Partition Manager and a 4gb USB stick ( Kingston one ) also a ( Sandisk 1gb one ).

you can get Paragon Partition Manager here.
Code:

http://rapidshare.com/files/165377615 ... Professional__Retail_.rar



in Partition Manager create 2 partitions ( i just half the stick ), then click on format, and choose ext2 or ext3, your PC will need to reboot and will format the USB stick on startup.

Many people try more than 1 stick because not all USB sticks are compatible.

Now put the USB stick into usb port at the back of the IPbox

==================================================

2. now we need to install u boot 1.3.3 , download from here
Code:

http://rapidshare.com/files/165278506/IP9000HD_usb_uboot_1.3.3.zip

also we need to download PC editor here :
Code:

http://rapidshare.com/files/201083923/PCEditor_1.2.49.rar

we need a USB cable ( the printer type ) the square shaped end goes in host at the back of the IPbox. and plug the usb connector into PC.
Switch on the IPbox and and keep the front power switch pressed in until you see USB UPGRADE on front LCD.

Open PC editor and get it to flash the Uboot 1.3.3 onto the IP box.

Now you can switch off the IPbox again.

3. Now we need a serial cable or a seriel to USB cable if you dont have a seriel port on your PC,
also a programme called putty, download it from here :
Code:

http://the.earth.li/~sgtatham/putty/l ... /putty-0.60-installer.exe

and a programme called PSPad , download from here
Code:

http://rapidshare.com/files/164638429/pspad453inst_en.rar

now this is the tricky part because the timing has to be correct.

open the programme putty and choose the connection to use, this time choose seriel connection, and COM 1 ( or whatever your COM port is ) also the baud rate has to be set to 115200.

click OK at the same time as you switch on the IPbox at the back, be quick and hit the CTRL and the Z keys on keyboard at the same time.

you need to see this command in putty : cuberevo> ( this is the curser to start from )

If you dont see this and loads of text is appearing before your eyes, switch off the IPbox and stop putty and Start this process again until you get it right.

Now we open PSPad and copy and paste these 5 lines into that.
Then we copy and paste from PSPad into putty at the cuberevo> command
after each one press enter to get back to the cuberevo> curser.

================================================

Code:

setenv menu_1 'setenv ipaddr 192.168.1.5;setenv serverip 192.168.1.6;setenv gateway 192.168.1.1;setenv netmask 255.255.255.0;setenv bootargs "console=ttyAS1,115200 panic=3 bigphysarea=10240 root=/dev/nfs nfsroot=/root/Desktop/root rw rootpath=/root/Desktop/root ip=$ipaddr:$serverip:$gateway:$netmask mem=128m coprocessor_mem=4m@0x10000000,4m@0x10400000 init=/bin/devinit";setenv bootcmd "nfs a5ff0000 192.168.1.6:/root/Desktop/root/boot/uImage;bootm a5ff0000";saveenv;boot'

Code:

setenv menu_2 'setenv ipaddr 192.168.1.5;setenv serverip 192.168.1.6;setenv gateway 192.168.1.1;setenv netmask 255.255.255.0;setenv bootusb "run bootargsusb;usb reset;ext2load usb 0:1 a5ff0000 boot/uImage;bootm a5ff0000";setenv bootargsusb "setenv bootargs console=ttyAS1,115200 panic=3 bigphysarea=10240 root=/dev/sda1 rw rootdelay=10 init=/bin/devinit ip=$ipaddr:$serverip:$gateway:$netmask mem=128m coprocessor_mem=4m@0x10000000,4m@0x10400000";seten v bootcmd "run bootusb";saveenv;boot'

Code:

setenv menu_3 'setenv ipaddr 192.168.1.5;setenv serverip 192.168.1.6;setenv gateway 192.168.1.1;setenv netmask 255.255.255.0;setenv bootusb "run bootargsusb;usb reset;ext2load usb 0:1 a5ff0000 boot/uImage;bootm a5ff0000";setenv bootargsusb "setenv bootargs console=ttyAS1,115200 panic=3 bigphysarea=10240 root=/dev/sdb1 rw rootdelay=10 init=/bin/devinit ip=$ipaddr:$serverip:$gateway:$netmask mem=128m coprocessor_mem=4m@0x10000000,4m@0x10400000";seten v bootcmd "run bootusb";saveenv;boot'

Code:

setenv menu_4 'setenv ipaddr 192.168.1.5;setenv serverip 192.168.1.6;setenv gateway 192.168.1.1;setenv netmask 255.255.255.0;setenv bootargs "console=ttyAS1,115200 panic=3 root=/dev/mtdblock3 bigphysarea=1500 ip=$ipaddr:$serverip:$gateway:$netmask quiet";setenv bootcmd "bootm a0060000";saveenv;boot'

Code:

saveenv

===============================================

After the last line " saveenv " you will see a message saying saving to flash or something like that.

There are many other ways of entering these lines into flask, some people only put in the lines they require but i am teling the way it works for me as ive tried other ways with no success.

================================================

4. Now we need a programme called Katherine Control Centre ( KCC ) : download from here

http://rapidshare.com/files/201091318 ... ein_Control_Centre_1b.rar

or the latest version from here

http://rapidshare.com/files/201094132/KCC3_0.rar

i use the first one 1b version because it does what i want.

Now open KCC and set your IP address and username / password for your IP box and click on test,
it should come back with all OK, once you got the all OK, swith on IPbox so its running your Normal image.
Now press on the icon that says " Experts " KCC should open a small box and is now setting up your USB stick ( this takes about 15 mins to 20 mins )

when it gets to 100% you will get a new box appear and gives the details of your USB stick and how its formated.

=================================================



5. Now we need a programme called FlashFXP : download from here http://rapidshare.com/files/204327537/FlashFXP.rar


Now we FTP to mnt/usb

you should now see 2 folders usb0 and usb1, also inside each of those 2 folders should be another folder that says " Lost and found "
if you dont see these folders then your stick is not set up properly and you need to do the KCC part again.

Once you got those folders download one of these 2 E2 images :
E2 0.2.0 beta from Tideglo
Code:

http://rapidshare.com/files/200754705/enigma2.tar.gz.gz

or the one i use, the PKT Modded version
Code:

http://rapidshare.com/files/200754707/Enigma2_PKT.tar.gz

i go for the PKT version as you can download all your addons, emu`s e.t.c from remote control, in Panel.

you need to ftp the image into mnt/usb/usb0

close Flash FXP

===============================================

6. Now we need to unpack the image onto USB stick.

open putty and choose telnet, and put in your IP address of IPbox.

now we need to put in these 2 commands

cd /mnt/usb/usb0

press return then this

tar xzf enigma2_PKT.tar.gz

or this

tar xzf enigma2.tar.gz for the other version, personally i go for PKT version.

press return , now putty seems to be doing nothing , but be patient as it is, this part takes about 30 mins to do sometimes.

you will know when it is done because you will see this. -sh-3.00#

=================================================

7. now ftp to your IPbox again and look in the mnt/usb/usb0 folder , you should have all the folders there to be able to boot from E2

=================================================

8. Time to boot box from USB stick, time to keep your fingers crossed.

switch off the box at the back then back on and keep your finger on the relevent number on remote control for about 6 or 7 seconds and let go.

Press Button 1: start your image using nfs-server
Press Button 2: start your image using usb pendrive if you don't have a SATA hdd
Press Button 3: start your image using usb pendrive if you have a SATA hdd
Press Button 4: start your original flash image in the decoder (DGStation's original firmwares and images based on them)

the blue power button will start to flash while the box says booting, after about 10 mins light will stop and the word loading will now appear.

this is when you know its working fine.

If the box stops flashing and still says booting, something has gone wrong,
re start the box and try a different number,
its normally 2 or 3 you need to use, as 4 is to boot from normal image from flash.

If it still does this then maybe download a different E2 image, or in most cases the USB stick is not compatible.

==================================================

If you want to start again , just FTP to the box and delete all the files inside the mnt/usb/usb0 apart from the Lost and found folder,
and re ftp the E2 tar.gz image , and try from there.

=================================================

If you want to change the boot up screen to a different picture download a few from here

Code:

http://rapidshare.com/files/201102251/Bootscreens_for_IPbox.rar

and ftp to the /boot folder the 2 files called "bootlogo.mvi" and "poweroff.mvi" and CHMOD them to 755.

==================================================

There is a small problem when re booting so you need to apply a fix : download here
Code:

http://rapidshare.com/files/201103692/rc5_fix.zip

Remember that files in /etc/init.d/ should have chmod 755

For Sifteam e2 with PKT panel use file rcS !

For clean Sifteam E2 use file rcS2 (but reneme it to rcS and overwrite to /etc/init.d/ )
Source: Digital Kaos How to install Enigma2_PKT and 0.2.0.

After overwrite full reboot your E2. Now after Restart GUI everything works great Everything is tested

Btw. Today will be released new MOD of PKT panel based on latest Sifteam E2 beta 0.2.0 . Cheers

==================================================

It is not as easy as some peeps might think to do all this, thats why i wrote it the way i do it and if you follow it carefully anyone should be able to do it...
