Using temporary directory: /tmp/tmp.UpES42Ui4m Here is a sample output for reference (Also see the below screenshot): You may want to take a look at the other information printed in the terminal window for more information about what was done.
#Firmware image gemini 4.7 install
Go ahead an install on your Dreambox 500-S. This image is the same as the original one but with TimeBomb removed. The new image as specified in the second command line argument will be created (CleanImage.img in the above example). When done, you should see the following lines in the terminal window (If you see anything else it means that the program was not able to remove the TimeBomb) RemoveTimeBomb OriginalImage.img NewImage.img

Open Terminal window and change directory to the scripts folder from step 2Įxecute RemoveTimeBomb providing original (infected) Gemini image as the first command-line argument (from step 3) and the name of the new (disinfected, to be created) image as the second argument Original Gemini image that you need to disinfectĭownload the required scripts from 58667 or scripts.zip ()Įxtract scripts to a folder on your Linux machine (I used $HOME/Desktop/scripts)ĭownload original Gemini Image and save it somewhere on your Linux machine Linux Machine (32-bit only) (I used Ubuntu Desktop 10.04 32bit on VMWare Virtual Machine). This tutorial will help you manually remove TimeBomb from original Gemini Images. The TimeBomb only exists in original Gemini images v4.31 or newer for Dreambox model DM500-S. Other developers of unofficial firmware groups would find boxes to be affected by this if they use the latest drivers, providing another time bomb is to be introduced.
#Firmware image gemini 4.7 drivers
An unofficial firmware group called Gemini who used the latest flash drivers in their firmware, found that flash corruption would be caused on clone DM500-S receivers. In April 2008, Dream Multimedia allegedly introduced a time bomb into their latest flash to disable the boot loader on counterfeit models.
