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

[Wonder_lander]

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

Model = US so serial number will be US.

You can't subscribe a US serial number for UK guide data so you'd only get the same functionality as you can with the oz image.

Hi, I have a Thompson UK Scenium TiVo with a 15Gb and 30GB HDD fitted (standard). I haven't used it in ages (after moving house). Tried it out just now and it doesn't boot - black screen. Took the back off and it seems that the 30Gb HDD simply isn't powering up - it's definately the drive, not the cables.

Can someone help me out with an image so I can fix it ?

Any help greatly appreciated, thanks!

Drive just died on my Tivo - Not bad going, it was the original 40Gb from the Powerhouse fire-sale. That's OK - Thought I, since I had the forethought to make a backup image!

Needless to say, the backup image is in fact unreadable. Can some kind soul please point me in the right direction, by PM?

Could someone PM me a link to a 2.5.5 image. A colleague's TiVo has gone kaput. We've established it's the hard drive by swapping in another drive so I've offered to put the image onto a new drive she's going to provide over the weekend.

Cloning my drive could cause potential problems as mine's bristling with hacks and she just wants a vanilla TiVo.

I'll provide a serial number if required.

Just had the strangest thing happen. Hit the reset button from the menu and now I just get a black screen after the "Almost there" message. Can still telnet/ftp to it so rc.sysinit must have completed just no actual tivo app. Figuring a restore might be the only way out of this, but could do with PM'ing the location of a working image.

PM Sent, the recommendation is to go for a single larger drive as two drives is double the heat, noise and risk of failure!

[groovyclam]

My maxtor I put in 4 years ago has bit the dust yesterday ( nasty clicking noise! )

It's a while since I did an upgrade - what is the current max size *single* drive I can put an TiVo image onto - is it still 120Gig ?

What is the current recommended quiet reliable drive brand ?

Many thanks in advance for answers...

[blindlemon]

Biggest single drive in a UK TiVo so far is 500gb AFAIK, although the new 750gb Seagates should work if their startup power requirement is no higher than that of the 500gb.

The quietest drive around is the Samsung HA250JC - 250gb, 5400rpm, cool running, super quiet, virtually vibration free and a 3 year warranty to boot :)

Hi All,

New to this forum - for posting at least - but have had a Tivo since day 1.

I finally succumbed to the upgrade bug, and because I'm not hot on linux (to say the least) I would like to try the upgrade (Cachecard) on a new build before I mess up the existing drives (the wife would kill me).

I'd also like to do this on a single drive (I currently have a twin drive),

Could someone please send a PM pointing to an image for a single drive TiVo,

Many Thanks in advance,

I have just finished my restore to fix my borked hard drive. I replaced it with the above model and can thoroughly recommend it. It is amazingly quiet in my TiVo.

Previously I had a four year old Maxtor in a QuietPC drive enclosure. I have put the new Samsung in, without the drive enclosure, and it is quieter than the Maxtor!

Wouldn't you know it - the Maxtor website says my warranty on the borked drive ran out 11 months ago...

I have been running an upgraded TiVo now for a few years without any problems.

Original setup was 2 drives: 30+15

Upgraded setup is 30+120

Over the past couple of weeks TiVo has been stuttering and crashing so I figured it was the 120GB drive that was at fault and bought a new 250GB drive to replace it with.

The problem I now have is that when I am following the backup instructions for a 2 drive setup, my PC cannot read the 120GB drive as I think the corruption is too bad. It spins up but that's about all it does.

Does anyone know where I can get hold of an image file for a UK Thomson TiVo so that I can start from scratch?

Or, can anyone suggest another solution to the problem?

I no longer have the original B (15) drive either but I suspect it wouldn't have helped the situation anyway.

I've just been directed to this thread and would really appreciate it if someone could PM me with details on where to get an image from and what to do with it when I get it?

Thanks in advance.

I have been running an upgraded TiVo now for a few years without any problems.

Original setup was 2 drives: 30+15

Upgraded setup is 30+120

Over the past couple of weeks TiVo has been stuttering and crashing so I figured it was the 120GB drive that was at fault and bought a new 250GB drive to replace it with.

The problem I now have is that when I am following the backup instructions for a 2 drive setup, my PC cannot read the 120GB drive as I think the corruption is too bad. It spins up but that's about all it does.

Does anyone know where I can get hold of an image file for a UK Thomson TiVo so that I can start from scratch?

Or, can anyone suggest another solution to the problem?

I no longer have the original B (15) drive either but I suspect it wouldn't have helped the situation anyway.

I've just been directed to this thread and would really appreciate it if someone could PM me with details on where to get an image from and what to do with it when I get it?

Thanks in advance.

After several years of faithful service my 120Gb disk has finally failed. I've ordered a Samsung HA250 which seems to be the generally accepted optimum replacement. Could someone point me to a UK series 1 image which I can use on this disk when it arrives (hopefully tomorrow)?

Hi

I have just bought a broken Tivo off eBay. The guy who sold it to me said the HDD was dead. When I boot it freezes at the "almost there, please wait a few more seconds".

I think I need an image to set up a new HDD as there seems little point in trying to extract one from the broken drive in the machine.

If someone could tell me where I can get it (ideally with instructions) I really would appreciate it.

Many thanks!

[Scooby Jones]

Hello there. It looks like I've done something to my original 30gb A drive.... it won't qunlock, for some reason I don't understand, and my tivo is dead :(. Could you possibly provide me with a backup image of the 2.5.5 UK release please? Joe

Actually, I found the problem was with the cable selection/master jumper; I managed to get it to unlock put putting the drive on as a slave drive.

So I don't need a backup copy after all. Thanks :).

[pjclews]

Can you help. I have a Thomson Tivo PVR10UK which I brought in Novemeber 2000, its out of warranty. I have a lifetime subscription.
The thing just stays on the screen saying welcome powering up, and does nothing.
If anyone can help me i.e. what do I need to do, ive never opened the machine up before today, so no backup has been done....will i need an image to recover it?
Thanks

About to change hard drives for the third time in my Tivo's history but realised to my horror that I've misplaced (that is put away somewhere safe) my original Quantum drives.

As I'm moving this time to a single 250Gb drive, it would be even more helpful if someone had an image with the LBA48 stuff enabled.

Many thanks - GeoffT.

[Wonder_lander]

The image that i have available is the standard 40gb one I'm afraid

No problem. That would be absolutely fine, thank you.

I'm no expert but I believe Tivo will only ever see the first 130Gb or thereabouts of big drives. My last was a 160Gb and it was certainly the case with that one.

What I meant to say was that without the LBA48 patch Tivo will never see more than 130Gb or so of any drive. Once the patch is done then it will see and use all of a big drive.

Sorry to jump on the bandwagon - But does anyone have an image that already has the LBA48 kernel so I can restore it to a new 250Gb drive please? Its a basic UK spec single drive model.

Thank you
MBB

You don't need an image with the LBA48 kernel as you will have to use an LBA48-aware CD to do the restore anyway... and that will have copykern and the LBA48 kernel on it :)

[hornist]

Also looking for a 2.5.5 image that will work with a new single 250Gb drive. Thanks.

Now this may not be the best place to ask the following additional questions, but I don't want to start a new thread unnecessarily.

1. My existing (dying) setup is a 120Gb Maxtor (A) + original 40Gb Quantum (B). Perhaps not surprisingly it's the Maxtor that is dying! I can't make a full divorced backup from these drives without the Maxtor going into major error mode and eventually locking up - hence requesting the image from here. However, is there any way I can try to backup just the season passes and thumbs data - in case they're on good bits of the disk - and then restore onto the new drive after restoring the requested software image?
Note that the TiVo still runs well enough to get network and TiVOWeb access, so maybe I could use a TiVOWeb backup module for the season passes.

2. I'll probably sound really stupid now, but I downloaded the 'ptv-mfstools2-large-disk.iso' from tivoheaven, which I think is what I need to build the 250Gb disk, and burned it to CD using Nero. But I simply cannot get my PC to boot from it. It just won't recognise it as a bootable disk. Any ideas? I've checked the BIOS settings for booting from CD. I used an (old) bootable floppy with mfstools on for my abortive backup. The ISO is very small (224K); is that right?

As ever, thanks in advance for help.

Hi,

I am still after a tested UK image. I have tried two images sent to Nick. (post above) both fail on restore with decompression errors one at 93% the other at 39%. I have read in another forum that this could incompatible PC H\W or bad compression. I tried to boot the disk in Tivo and one image just power cycles. The second goes into Tivo with a black background. It may be that a Tivo SW update will fix this?

If anyone has an image or advice I'd really appreciate it. Girlfriend is going to kill me if I don't get Tivo back soon ;(

Upgrading my parents Tivo over Christmas.
Hoping for the best I'll be able to back theirs up, preparing for the worst can I get a PM for a backup to keep in reserve?
Many thanks

My disk just packed up on me before i got a chance to back it up.

I just spent 2 days playing with various disk utilities but cant do anything with it.

Can anyone please let me have an image file for a Thompson Series 1 PVR.

Thanks in advance.

Hi,

My trusty Series 1 Tivo just died. New drive installed but backup I created seems to be corrupt.

Could anybody tell me where to get a clean image from.

Many thanks

Ive been happily using my upgraded Tivo (with original 40 + 120 GB drive) for about 3 years, but now have a GSOD which I cannot clear. I imagine one of the HDs has failed or become corrupt. It sounds like I just need to get a decent (single) drive and start over - but though I did take a backup image, I no longer have it.

Anyone able to help out? Also will a 250 or 300GB drive be ok to use?

Many thanks

PS whats the cheapest way of speeding up the menu system?

PM Sent, I would suggest creating a new thread to get answers to your other questions!

Yes a 250Gb or 300Gb or 400Gb drive will be fine in your Tivo.

See www.steveconrad.co.uk/tivo and the large hard drive upgrade section.

Your menus can be speeded up or stopped from slowing down with a large hard drive and large Now Playing list by buying and installing a Cachecard and 512Mb of RAM for it. Cachecard installation also covered on the Steve Conrad site.

Also for a cheaper way to speed up menus once you have TivoWeb and various hacks running on the box search the UK section of the TivoWeb forum for the word setpri.

Also this little lot may help with your more general Tivo upgradeability questions:-

thanks very much in advance

[jonmalco]

Any possibility of where I can download the image file please?

You have to wait for the owner of this thread to send you a PM with a link to his site where the image files are kept.

If you don't have PM email message notification turned on in your Tivocommunity user profile you may wish to turn it on now and/or to check your PMs manually.

Perhaps you need to have another couple of deputies monitoring this thread who can also send the link via a PM?

Any takers? I'm normally on the ball but must have missed my last instant thread notification e-mail so wasn't aware there where new requests!

[jonmalco]

Thanks Wonder.

Now which image file can I use on a new virgin drive?

The last hard drive had the latest version of the software installed so can I use that image or is it best to stick to the 40Gb one and follow Steve Conrad's instructions.
