    If you have flash a gemini image to a clone dreambox 500c, then you have bricked the box, clone boxes do not like gemini image at all, so i`m told m8

    you'll have to use dreamup, connected to pc with serial cable.

    To back up the image from orig box, telnet into it the use this commaned: -

    cat /dev/mtd/3 > /tmp/backup.img

    This backup command works with enigma based images, not sure about neutrion images, give it a go. It is works you will have a backup in /tmp/, transfer to pc then flash to second box.

    If you have a working box why not just use an image backup from that box onto the "problem box"?

    I've merged your threads to keep this issue in one place & to keep track of what you have done. Pointless having 2 threads on the same issue.
