If you need to reimage a TiVo for hard drive repair or storage upgrade:

Turn-key solutions are available from a sponsor of this forum, DVRUpgrade

If you want to go the do-it-yourself route, here is your best bet: drop by #tivo on EFnet. Check the topic for instructions, or just ask for what you are looking for. Be patient. If someone has it, they'll respond, eventually.

Please also use this thread to post requests for any images I can't point you to.

The old thread can be read here.

It seems I've been out of the TiVo scene for far too long. All my old haunts and locations for things are gone and all the files I did have lost in a move. I need to obtain some PROM images for my units a Tivo HD (TCD652160) 1.04 would be of great help to me currently. Thank you to any help anyone can provide... almost feel like a newbie again!

I would like to ask for help because for two days i've been searching and I can not seem to find an answer? I currently own a Tivo Series 3 Tivo 648250 It has the original drive so I made a copy using winmfs and it appear to have backup correctly. But then I tried to do a upgrade from a 250gb to a 1tb drive I notice that I had issues with the original drive. It gave reading sector errors but then I compare the new 1 TB drive and there are some differences in certains partitions. When I place the new drive it never completes booting it just stays in the power up screen? Don't know what to do? Can somebody please provide me a clean image or recommend other actions? I also try doing a copy using mfs live and errors appear on reading primary drive. Thanks for letting me vent.


***Thanks for your assistance I'll give that image a try***

Here's something you can try.

Since you're using WinMFS, see if you can copy and paste the partition table/map (View-MFSinfo) of your original drive so we can see if you can copy it to a larger drive and be able to put any more partitions on that larger drive. That's not a function of whether the larger drive has any free space, it depends on how many partitions you already have on the original, because there's a limit to how many partitions you can have on any given drive in a Tivo.

When I say copy and paste, I mean post the info here.

If you haven't hit the partition number limit yet, I'll tell you something to try.

Hello. I'm looking for an image for the original Series3 - TCD648250B. As luck would have it, right after I put lifetime service on it, we had a power outage that seems to have caused my TiVo's hard drive to freak out. New hard drive on the way...

Thanks.

Got the image - thanks!

My Series 2TB 3 (TCD648250B, 1TB in + 1TB out) died for the third time. Bummer.

Can anyone out there help a brother out? I need a new image? I had the supafly image on another backup drive, but much to my chagrin, that drive is dead too. Good times.

Thanks in advance!

(ps- first time on the boards, not sure how this works, exactly...will some one send me a personal message? Want to show props, thanks, and respect, not noobiness. Again, thanks in advance.)

(pps- i know it is off topic, but is it now possible to have a single 2TB drive in a series 3?)

======

That's damn good service! Good work, Doctors.

Well, I must be retarded. Someone provided me an image for my original Series3 - TCD648250B. The image file provided ends in .mfs. Can't seem to use WinMFS to restore this file, so I tried the MFS Live 1.4 boot CD. It got to 97.88% of the restore process before telling me "Premature end of backup data".

Can someone provide me with an image file for my TCD648250B that I can use WinMFS to restore?

Thanks.

Edit: I received an image. Thanks.
