    might it be flashwizard pro and if your having problems with that you could flash it with original Dream up software and re-flash Gemini image ...loady you forgot how to do it mate Hidden Content

    Is it the 3.10 image that I uploaded to the downloads loady? If so, it's 192.168.1.102. I had the same problem with the GP image coming up and then it would reboot and it would continuously do it! I am using component video and remember this problem from a while back....I had to change to scart lead and then it worked ok.

    If you give me a minute...I'll change my settings back to RGB then take another backup! I'll reuploaded it to the downloads.

    Re: stupid question in here...

    Try powering it on without any scart lead connected. Wait a few minutes then plug it in...hopefully it will have booted up ok (if that's the source of the fault, might just be a bad flash!)

    It's now re-uploaded with RGB settings so should be better for scart users! Hidden Content

    Re: stupid question in here...

    Ah well....looks like you'll need to load firmware using Dreamup. All you really need to do is connect serial cable and turn it on, do you have a desktop PC that you could take it to, since your lappy serial is busted?

    You can get Dreamup and the firmware from here.

    Hidden Content

    All you need to do is connect the serial lead, then hit connect on the dreamup software, then it shoudl say something like 'connection prepaired, now plug in dreambox'. Now plug it in the program does it all. When it ways it's done, unplug it, take it back to the tv and plug it in. It should be a basic Gemini image, setup the ip address, etc. then connect to it and flash the new gemini image again.
