TM500 Super Flashing
Ok guys this one has got me stumped
sorry for the long winded post but trying to give as much info as possible
I got given the above box last week and all it did was show
U-Boot 1.1.2 (Tuxbox)
failed to boot...
going into debug mode
[u-boot@TM-9100 boot]$
So I flashed it with about 3 different images and I finally got it to boot up with the following image
TM-500super-TM600-UR-08-01-2011.img
Anyway yesterday the guy says it was on itv3 and no picture was showing on any channel so he rebooted it and now it just says the same
U-Boot 1.1.2 (Tuxbox)
failed to boot...
going into debug mode
[u-boot@TM-9100 boot]$
So i get it off him and flashed it with the UR image but no joy, so spent about 3 hours flashing every image I could find and still no joy it just wont go past that screen
The weird thing is after it has flashed it says "hardware version not mine and was expecting one series of numbers and got a different set and maybe you transferred the wrong file" and it also says Error in the lcd, see piccie attached
but they are the correct images
So I found the TM-500-600-500S boot load-3-1-11
and flashed the TM600_500 Super_uboot file, which it does ok and says done in the lcd but it still wont get passed the failed to boot screen
tried flashing images after doing this and still the same
also when I press and hold the up button, power up and choose factory reset and press the right button it just goes blank and does nothing until i reboot it
then it just goes back to the same failed to boot screen Hidden Content
Anyone shed any light on this as its got me stumped
Thanks for looking

i pm you m8
i dont no if this will help you too
ds team can mess up the flash on the box so should never have been loaded in the first place. took me ages to get it out using tm005 and serial interface and null modem cable with a few factory resets along the way before getting tm009 into my flash
tm005 and tm009 are original flashes and only 005 has a noboot image for tm9100 users
so if you have a tm9100 you should try tm005 noboot and flash using the serial input and null modem cable
once its in , factory reset it and then load tm009 in the usual way and factory reset it again too
ur009b2 and ur010b2 can be used in your flash although I think you should wait a few days for tm010 to be released
its an uphill struggle to get dsteam v3.4 out of the flash but can be done with the right tools and patience
...
you need to use a null modem cable and tcc6 and serial update it with 005 noboot image and factory reset afterwards just to be sure
you can put whatever 9100 image you like in a tm9100 m8 , but all the 3rd party images are beta and all have problems and may not work properly
I have always advised using tm009 in the flash and images in iboot
anyone using a non-official 3rd party image in the flash is asking for trouble and the best one to use at the moment is ur010beta2 , at least until tm010 is released
there is no way I would be putting dsteam v3.4 back in my flash after the last time and it isnt just me who has had a problem with it
you hold the front button in on a switch-on boot to access the factory menu for serial loading and resets etc
the serial upload will take ages unless you select 115,200 as the connection speed on your com port
and if you read my answer again you will see I said to factory reset after loading tm005 , not at the end of all the uploads
so its tm005 and factory reset , then tm009 and again factory reset
and as stated get a cheap mmc card and use it for images and you wont damage the box
better to fail on an sd card costing around a fiver than a box costing 20 times more
i hope it help
