Take the lid off and look at the sim in the bottom right hand corner. Describe it and we can yell you what you have.

Yes, as Brummie said. Unzipp and send ipk via browser and don`t restart, just, via browser again, send the image you want. SSL is just a few seconds, sometimes we don`t "see" it going to the dreambox :D

yes if your receiver is booting ok that file Ferret mentions is an IPK file, like he said unzip and ftp it to TMP then manually install,if you got an NFI version you could flash it through your web browser

i was looking for 84.nfi for u , but could find it , the only availble thing is .ipk , where it is not risky or dont feal fear , here is what u have to do

, send secondstage.ipk to /tmp , by DCC write down & send telnet command to execute ipk
Code:
opkg install -force-overwrite /tmp/*.ipk
or this old command as i dont know what is architecture currently
Code:
ipkg install -force-overwrite /tmp/*.ipk

then switch off box & on again while pressing front button so u can go to IE flash mode while u can see ur ip displayed

from IE browser just write down that ip u see in box front lcd panel then hit enter & now upload & flash any of those image i posted earlier , then wait til it finish & say reboot on webpage , then reboot & u r having now new image with ssl 84 & thats it
