I was wondering if it was possible to flash a dreambox using only a null modem cable? I know most guides say you have to have a crossover cable aswell but was just wondering.


Cheers

you also need to use a null modem if you flash a maxvar image such as gemeni as you need to erase the flash memory

Hello People
I had would like to share my experience I was trying Flash me box using null modem cable but the box wasn't talking to my pc.
it was simple I was using the serial cable thinking that it is null modem cable. So i bought null modem cable and it worked first time.

Most trader and shop selling the serial cable as null modem cable.

Thx
