Backup files / image requests (UK TiVo's only)

[blindlemon]

Adding hacks etc. doesn't increase the backup size at all.

As long as your backup 'divorces' OK it will always be the same size as the A drive of the tivo it was originally taken from - ie. 30 or 40 hours.

It is therefore well worth making a backup once you've installed network drivers, TiVoWeb, EndPad, Mode 0, hacks etc. - as they will all be included :)

[kitschcamp]

Adding hacks etc. doesn't increase the backup size at all.

I think we're at crossed purposes...

I thought once you'd used an image and expanded it to fill the drive, you could only ever back it up and restore it to a hard disc at least the new hard disc size?

[tivo_boj]

Blindlemon,
on the disks you offer I know you offer to put tivoweb etc. What other things could you build on them ( I cannot get dailymail working, so this would be good, then I could try with my own settings)

[zerolight]

does anyone have a backup image for a single drive tivo, with cachecard and tivoweb installed. my seagate gave up the ghost and had to be replaced my manufacturer and my backup image simply won't work. :(

i'm tivoless.

Please may I have a link to a 2.5.5.a image? If it has cachecard drivers on as well, that'd be great, but I don't want to push my luck!

Thanks in advance.

Or any image...?

Hi, my s/h Tivo is arriving tomorrow and I am planning to put a new 120Gb disk in it. Could someone PM a link to the backup CD so I can get d/l and get the Tivo up and running as quickly as possible.

Thanks.

Pollo

[blindlemon]

If it has a drive and is in working order then you don't need to beg an image :)

Just take a backup as per hinsdale (http://www.newreleasesvideo.com/hinsdale-how-to/index9.html) and apply that to your new 120gb drive.

Is there anyone that can let me have a UK backup, so that I can restore a Tivo with a dying disc?

Thanks if you can help.

Also... is there any way of getting at some of the 160gb of programmes that were recorded before it suddenly died?

Thanks, Mark.

Sent you a PM with my standard response.

For getting your programmes off you may be posting a new thread with a description of your problems and I'm sure someone will off you some suggestions on how you can try to get them off!

If you have a working disk then all you need to do is use the hinsdale guide and make a backup of your existing disk and restore it to your new disk...this can save your programs and the need to do guided setup again

hi guys :) as the title says, i'm in desperate need of a working tivo drive image, basically i'm getting a "dead" tivo from a friend, the problem is apparently a total hard disc failure (tho tbh i won't know for sure till it's swapped out) it's an early model & he has a lifetime subb (hope i can transfer it ;) ) now, i'm a total noob when it comes to tivo but i reckon i can follow at least one of the excellent guides here, but the guides i've seen so far seem to need the original tivo drive :(

sorry to have to use my first post to beg, but i'm really stuck & this is my first introduction to the world of tivo :D

any help greatly appreciated :)

hi guy's, i've got that tivo unit from my friend, i plugged it in & the fan immediately started up & a green light has come on at the front of the unit, but thats all thats happening, no gui or any signal from the tivo at all, either through scart or rf (the rf passthrough seems to be working but there is a lot of picture degradation ) if it where just a hard disc problem i would have thought something would still be displayed on the screen ? even if it's just an error message, but as i said earlier, i'm a complete noob when it comes to tivo, so i really need an informed opinion, so i guess my question is this, is it still likely that it's the hard disc thats at fault or should i be looking elsewhere for the problem before i start messing around & changing the hard disc ?

also, the remote seems to be functioning fine, the red light is flashing when i press a button & it's deffo putting a signal out, but theres no indication that the tivo is recieving any signals (no lights flash on the tivo to say it's recieving etc)

thanks in advance.

UPDATE - Turbonet arrived this morning so I went through the hinsdale guide to upgrade from my a & b drives to a larger A drive and original Tivo A used as new B. But I keep getting a Backup Failed message in mfs. For now I've just installed the turbonet driver on the original A drive and put the Tivo back as it was.

My plea now is to ask if there is a bcakup image available that I can stick on my new A drive? If so can I get a PM? Thanks...

lol, is everyone having problems lately.

My dodgy electric cooker has reached the end of its life and in the process took my Tivo with it, tripped the electric twice in 10 minutes. Without a surge protector or ups to save it, kablooie!!!!

I couldn't get past the Powering Up screen......even after 3days of leaving it.

Now after a compressed air clean and examination i can hear the hard drive spindle click on startup. Its dead.

Well instead of forking out £100 from pacelink for a new 120gb i'd rather just pay £40 and image it myself. We were so desperate we went and ordered sky+ & multiroom. Well, i want the tivo sorted so i can have a pvr in both sky rooms.

Can anybody pm me with a suitable drive image and a link to any configuration/install tips etc.

I'm installing a new 250gb drive and can't restore from my original drives. Can someone please PM me a link to a 2.5.5 backup please? One with LBA48 kernel would be perfect.
Thanks

I have sent you a PM with details of a standard image. I beleive that there is a thread around which tells you how to mod this to be 2.5.5a

You'll also need to install the turbonet drivers as this image is original.

Hi Guys,

Won't jump into the long story, but I had a HDD failure, followed the instructions here to backup and replace it, and although it boots fine now, it hangs whenever I enter the Tivo Central screen.

I'm assuming this is a software issue and would be most grateful if someone could direct me to a blankish image I can use to restore my Thomson Tivo back to a working state.

Cheers,

Ian

If you're stuck in GS because you can't make the call via the modem, then pull the drive and install the CC drivers anyway. Set the "daily call" to network and re-install the drive. The GS should then complete via your broadband connection :up:

Hiya

My TiVo keeps locking up and occasionally reboots itself. I've fitted a CacheCard and run various hacks (chiefly Tivoweb plus and tserver), and I'm fairly sure I've buggered somehing up along the way, so I want to start from scratch with a bigger HDD (I did a backup when fitting the CacheCard but it won't extract now..) - I currently have the 2 original HDDs in there.

Is this possible? To just start with a blank HDD (I have a 120Gb one), put a virgin tivo image on (can someone point me to one?), add all the hacks/cachecard drivers etc and then swap it into my Tivo? It's been a while since I upgraded mine but from memory this should be OK?

Edit: I missed the most obvious problem, which is that I need to preserve my account status (lifetime). Bah. So know I'm just confused - I can get a new image and copy across my status somehow?

There's a thread mentioned in the FAQ about problems backing up 2-HDD Uk TiVos with mfstools - should I read that?

2nd Edit: Read the post referenced above, now even more confused. Swap space and stuff - not sure relevant.

Cheers

2nd Edit: Read the post referenced above, now even more confused. Swap space and stuff - not sure relevant.There are no problems with backing up 2-drive UK TiVos that I know of.

If your target drive is < 137GB then you don't need the LBA48 kernel; If it's <= 250GB then you don't need any more than the 127mb swapfile mentioned in Hinsdale, although specifying more will allow you to add a 2nd drive at a later stage.

If you have problems with your upgrade, please start a new thread in the UK forum and I'll try to help you out.

That's no problem, glad you got it ok.

The donation information in the PM is there because I personally place a financial benefit on getting my Tivo back up and running.

I wanted to give people the opportunity to show that they valued this too and so recommend the two charities of the Dove House Hospice in Hull (my wifes grandfather was cared for there until he died) and Marrie Currie as my Grandma died from cancer. Donation is purely optional and any donation to charity no matter how big or small is good in my book! :up:

Hi. Sorry to do this...

I've just tried to upgrade my Tivo, and realised that the backup has output the lines...
Source drive size is 39 hours
- Upgraded to 127 hours
- Upgraded to 270 hours
Backup image will be 270 hours

So, since I've already done two upgrades, I can't do another one.
Could somebody please be generous enough to point me in the direction of the usual?

:(

[mike0151]

You could try doing a divorced backup, losing your recordings etc (which a new image would also do) and then restoring that image to the new drive. Fairly sure that is covered somewhere in Hinsdale and other guides.

HTH
Mike

[tommyw]

Ah, this may be doing it... I'm upgrading from two 120 gig drives to one 320 gig, and did my original backup with
mfsbackup -l 32 -6so /mnt/dos/tivo.bak /dev/hdc /dev/hdb, which produced the output above: 270 hours in, 270 hours out. I'm thinking that's not "divorced"? Although the file is about 1 meg in size, so clearly doesn't contain the recordings.

When I restore that, (to my 320 gig drive, which is properly detected), I get restore failed: backup target not large enough for entire backup by itself.

Ditching the -l32 option produce a 39 hour image file, which restores ok.

[Wonder_lander]

Do you still need the image details?

[blindlemon]

Ditching the -l32 option produce a 39 hour image file, which restores ok....yes, but do you have the background clouds animations - esp. on the Search by Title screen, IIRC?

If not, then you need to make a divorced backup. See here (http://www.tivocommunity.com/tivo-vb/showthread.php?p=3651299&&#post3651299) for details.

[tommyw]

Wonder_lander: thanks, but I it turns out that I am sorted for the image. At least, once I get blindlemon's question resolved.

Blindlemon: dunno. I put it all back together and went to bed at 1am. I'll check when I get home this evening. But thanks for the reference. Wheee! I get to do it all again :)

ETA: Yup, I do have the backgrounds, which are animating away nicely. The weird bit is that the Search by Title screen doesn't come up with the on-screen keyboard. But I'll worry about that in a separate thread, and get out of this one now!

ETA: And by doing over, but discarding the NowShowing stuff first, I could use the -l32 option to the backup, and I have the keyboard (and other instructions) appearing on the screen now. So everything's sorted. Thanks!

any chance i could grab an image, since this morning my tivo has decided to come up with "severe error" and doesnt show any signs of restoring.

3. Soft padding
Any other goodies.

AFAIK, the image(s) generally available are of a standard 2.5.5 with no hacks. Restoring that using the LBA CD, specifying a larger swap and running copykern is hardly more hassle than restoring an LBA image. As for hacks, many of them must be separately installed by the user in order to adhere to their licensing conditions.

I have managed to buy a cheap HDR112 Series 1, US TiVo, a little bit gutted that I cant do anything other than load an ozTivo image and get it to record and play with no guide data. I also have a PAL tuner which is not installed yet, is there any point at all of trying the us model with a UK image??

Anyway can some please tell me where i could get one so i can try for myself??? I have read on a forum that someone got series 3 US software to run on a UK TiVo, i am probably quite naive to think that the opposite is possible, but dont mind having a go,

Thanks

Hi all,

I have exactly the same position as the quoted post here, I wonder if anyone could be so kind as to PM me a link to an image.

Many thanks in advance.

Morning guys,

can anyone please help me, 40GB drive is on the way out after nearly 4 years oftrouble-free service! Glitching has started and sometimes fails to boot up correctly.

Could you please point me in the direction of a virgin backup?

thanks
