Enhance Your Hacked Tivo With This Script

[sk33t3r]

JW you are correct
Note that if you have an HR10-250 tivo, neither of these tools is required Superpatch or set_mrv_name

When running the latest zipper 4.0 the system hangs at backing root file system on a freshly restored drive, 6.3e

[rbautch]

When running the latest zipper 4.0 the system hangs at backing root file system on a freshly restored drive, 6.3eAre you sure it's not just taking it's sweet time? To get past it for now, run the Zipper like this: /cdrom/zipper nobackup

[rbautch]

I didn't think superpatch was needed for the HR10-250's (6.3x series)? or did I miss something? Since I don't have an HDTV (YET!!!) I don't pay that close attention to the HR10-250 stuff.Not required, but useful if you want to disable encryption, enable 30-sec skip, etc..

[JWThiers]

Makes sense.

[sk33t3r]

Are you sure it's not just taking it's sweet time? To get past it for now, run the Zipper like this: /cdrom/zipper nobackup


It was taking its sweet ass time but thenit finally said no space and continued. Now the issue is i told it to customize the menu and standby is gone, im pretty sure it was inteh first menu any how.

And when running superpatch 62a or 67 i get the following error;

Superpatch hasn't been officially updated in quite a while. You need to patch it for use on any dtivo sw version higher than 6.2. See ddb. This question has been asked and answered there quite a few times recently.

I've got a Samsung Sir-4040 DirecTiVo that I've upgraded with a larger hard drive (500 GB). That parts wiorking fine. I also installed networking using the PTVNet cd. I was able to see TWP thru my browser. I no longer can browse to the TiVo but, using Look@Lan, it says the TiVo is online. When I attempt to browse to the TiVo, the browser just times out. Could my /var directory have gotten overwritten?

So I decided to use the Zipper because it looks better to me than what I used before. Using The Zipper TiVo Hack Script v4.0, I pulled the drive and attempted to boot the Zipper disk from cd that the script told me to make. It boots up with PTVNet prompts instead of the Zipper scripts that I expected. Should the prompt be PTVNet (not exartly sure what it said but this is close)? When I input mount /dev/hdb /cdrom, I get an error. I don't remmeber what it said.

I didn't put an image on the Zipper cd because I was using a drive that I just wanted to add networking to and keep my recordings.

Does anyone know from this information what could have gone wrong? If more information is required, please let me know.

Thanks,
Porter

PorterSounds like you used the wrong boot CD from DVRupgrade. Follow the link in the instructions to download the correct boot CD. The prompt should not be PTVnet, but I would expect a PTVnet CD would still be able to mount your cdrom drive.

PTVnet is an alternate way of hacking your tivo that is mutually exclusive of the zipper. If you follow the PTVnet instructions from DVRupgrade, you should be able to hack your tivo without using the Zipper at all.

I thought I used the $5 boot cd that the instructions called for. I know I paid $5 for it. I thought that I'd followed the link in the instructions. I'll check that.

I wanted to use The Zipper because of the extra goodies that the other way doesn't offer.

Thanks for your reply. I'll check things more closely next time. Maybe I did make a mistake but I just don't see how.

We'll see.

Hey guys,
I have been a user of the zipper for quite some time. I have done my HR10 and my RCA DVR80. This was done back when the zipper was at version 1.7 I think.
Anyway, I got a wild hair this past weekend and wanted to upgrade with the latest tweak.sh file so it would update the TWP and add the gotomydvr stuff.
I was able to log into my tivo and run the uninstall_tweak.sh file, but now I get the dreaded "cannot download file" . I tried to reboot and now I cannot even log into my tivo.
I know I have a serial cable somewhere :confused:
Is that my next option? Once I get logged back in, How do I fix the internet connection?
I could see the tivo from my HD tivo before I rebooted, so I know it was on the network ok, just not getting to the internet.
Any info would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Randy

[HellFish]

If you're able to, instead of downloading the script from the tivo, you can download it onto your computer, then FTP it over to the tivo and run the script.

See this reference on the Zipper Wiki here: Update the enhancement script (tweak.sh) failed (http://www.dvrpedia.com/Zipper_-_SApper_-_Enhancement_Script#Update_the_enhancement_script_.28tweak.s h.29_failed)

If for some reason you still cannot download directly from the internet to your tivo, just get the latest zipper scripts from the zipper page. Unzip it and ftp the rbautch_files.tgz file to the /hacks directory on you tivo and run tweak. This will bypass the file download.

Note - instead of downloading the zipper and unzipping, you can also download the script from the 1st post of this thread.

If you're unable to FTP or telnet in, then I can't help you.

[rmax]

Thanks for the reply..I did try that and it still tried to download the latest script. I guess I am going to have to pull the drive and re-zipper.
Thanks again,
Randy

[JWThiers]

Try doing a dos2unix on the file you ftp'd over. If it gets the dos line endings in the file that would fubar the file for your tivo.

[rmax]

Yep, I tried that also. For some reason it still tries to download the file after I copy it over in the /hacks directory..not sure why..It seams to execute properly, just keeps wanting to download..hmm...

[JWThiers]

When you run tweak.sh, do you run it from the /hacks directory or do you type the whole path to like

sh /hacks/tweak.sh
???

If you type the whole path, instead try cd'ing to /hacks the run tweak.

I've tried the free ptvlba48-4.04DD.iso and the $5 one. No luck with either. Which one should I use?

I am using the following guide in my attempt to get the Zipper onto my DirecTiVo:
http://www.dvrplayground.com/article/13683/

Looking at what the directory on the final zipper cd should look like and what my cd looks like, I've noticed that they're completely different. Mine seems to be using the 8.3 file naming instead of long file names. The directory is below. I've burned the image with XP and Vista using Nero Express and with Windows Explorer in Vista. The first folder in the directory is ~0.LIV. The other folders and files are similar. Is this my problem? How do I get the image to burn correctly?

f:/zip.jpg

I've been trying for 20 minutes to post an image of my zipper cd directory but, obviously, I can't figure it out. I hope that the above information will suffice.

Can someone please tell me how to fix this? Am I using the correct ptvlba48 cd? Why won't my zipper cd burn correctly? Should I be using the guide that I'm using? If not, would some send me the link of the most up to date Zipper guide?

Thanks for the help. It is appreciated.

If this question has been asked and answered allready - please forgive me..... but - I just bought a brand new Tivo HD. I would love to be able to telnet into it and see whats going on. Are the hacks for the series 2 devices compatible with the HD box..... or should I wait for new scripts/hacks? Also - can you add a console port to a HD box?

Thanks!!

You'll need a PROM mod before you can do anything. Telnet works, and I believe you can modify your box for a serial console for troubleshooting. Some hacks are compatible, but most probably still require some updating.

PorterThis (http://partners.ptvupgrade.com/z/39/CD59/) is the CD you want. The most up to date guide is always in the instructions here (http://www.mastersav.com/tivo_zipper.html). Try adding your directory image as an attachment, rather than an embedded image.

Thanks for your help. It's finally working, mostly. I used a test 160gb drive. I had to figure out that the ptvupgrade prompt is correct. It is the prompt used until executing zipper.

I tried to create a new folder in twp but when I hit Create Folder, it errored.

Also, I'm still confused on at least one part of the enhancements script. When asked if I want the Tivo to reboot answer yes unless I want to use caller ID then answer no. What if I want it to reboot and use caller ID?

Oh well, I'll continue with my 500gb drive later.

Again, thanks for your help,
Porter

[willardcpa]

....Also, I'm still confused on at least one part of the enhancements script. When asked if I want the Tivo to reboot answer yes unless I want to use caller ID then answer no. What if I want it to reboot and use caller ID?....
This came up some time ago. I don't have access to the actual wording you are referring to. (I think that it only exists within the zipper set up, ie. folks only see it as they are operating the zipper).
If I recall correctly I think that the confusion comes in because some folks read it as somewhat like a "double negative". One of those "yes means no" kind of deals. If you want to use caller ID, then you need the box to reboot. It has to reboot in order to reset the fakecall - so that the box doesn't actually call in, if it did it would download new software and kill your hacks. It's the folks that are not using caller ID, that don't hook up their phone lines, that don't have to worry about the box trying to call in that don't necessarily need the box to reboot.
Read the question in the zipper again real "slowly and carefully", with the idea that you do need it to reboot since you will be leaving your phone line attached.

[rbautch]

I had to figure out that the ptvupgrade prompt is correct. It is the prompt used until executing zipper.You said "PTVnet prompt" in your earlier post. That's what made me think you had the wrong CD.

[Porterx]

You said "PTVnet prompt" in your earlier post. That's what made me think you had the wrong CD.

Yeah, sorry about the confusion.

This a a killer app. Applause to you and everyone who had a hand in it.

When I was networking my standalone tivo, I had an app that would graphically display used and remaining disk space. Does someone know the name of or have a link to that or something similar that works with the directivo's?

Thanks,
Porter

[Porterx]

Thanks for your help. It's finally working, mostly. I used a test 160gb drive.

There's trouble in paradise. I ran zipper on my 500gb drive and now I can't connect to my router. I don't have a link light only the occasional activity light. It worked fine with the 160gb drive. The only thing that's changed is the drives.

Do I need to run zipper again? Could I have answered a zipper question incorrectly? I remember telling it that I wouldn't be using wireless and I gave it my tivo and router ip addresses. Is there something else that I can do?

I had made a serial cable years ago but never used it and don't know how to use it. I still have it though.

All help is appreciated.

Thanks,
PorterNot sure what the issue is, but the drive shouldn't matter. Rerunning the Zipper may fix it. If not, serial console output would help. What adapter are you using? In the future, please keep Zipper questions in the Zipper thread. Your chances of getting help are better, since more people monitor that thread than this one.

[Porterx]

The "info" feature of Tivowebplus allows you to check remaining disk space.

Thanks. If I ever get it networked, I'll check that out.

No suggestions on the other thing huh?

Porter

Edit: Yes that works fine if you're sitting at your computer. The one I used had a graphic overlaid on Now Playing that showed disk space graphically and numerically.

I use Filezilla to transfer files into my Dtivo. Have you tried it?

[mendodave]

Hi all,

I did this upgrade to two of my Dtivos, successfully, and greatly appreciated. I could not leave well enough alone, however and started playing with the second box. I switched to wireless networking, and since I don't have a wireless adapter, I can't access the box anymore. D'oh!

I know I can use a cable to fix this, but can't I pull the HD, attach to a windoze box, and edit the tivo.cfg file to fix it? I would rather not re-Zipper it.

If the filename I am looking for isn't the tivo.cfg file, does someone know what it is and if I am on the right track?

thanks!

David

[Da Goon]

but can't I pull the HD, attach to a windoze box, and edit the tivo.cfg file to fix it?
No, you can't just connect it to a windoze box, it won't understand the tivo partition scheme. You may be able to do that if you compile tivopart under cygwin, but it would probably be easier just to boot with a linux disk such as the one you used for the zipper process, and mount it that way. There is no "tivo.cfg" file, the closest thing would be the /etc/rc.d/rc.sysinit.author file which runs at startup and most people use to start up their hacks. You could edit rc.sysinit.author with a call to a networking script with the appropriate ip params set. The network settings are stored in the MFS database, so you can't access them with the drive in a pc. You'd need a script to run while the tivo is "live" to do so, since you can't exactly "mount" MFS.

[Da Goon]

I use Filezilla to transfer files into my Dtivo. Have you tried it?
You can't use ftp over a serial connection. He probably needs to make root writable first or change terminal settings.

Ok, I got the file over and ran it but 30 sec skip was not enabled upon reboot. I searched and saw something about Hackman in TWP, but I can't find it in TWP 2. Is there an individual hack I can put on for that?

[willardcpa]

Search this forum for "30 sec". The results may give you the answer. One of them is a reply from Rbautch indicating that maybe tweak.sh may not run if you didn't originally use the zipper, I see you used PTVupgrade originally (he offers a "fix" for this). Some of the other results mention the S-P-S-30 (maybe its got another "S" on the end of it, I can't remember its been ages since I've used it?). "backdoor", but if I recall correctly that needs to be re-entered every time the box reboots.

[dturturro]

did that already. posted it in my message. is there a way to just add PERMENANT 30 second skip?

[Da Goon]

...is there a way to just add PERMENANT 30 second skip?
Yes, using a tivoapp patch. Looking thru your previous posts I'm assuming HR10-250 running 6.3d. If it's different, don't do this, the patch locations not may be the same, and the side effects could be bad. If you are running 6.3d, then do:
cd /tvbin
mount -o remount,rw /
mv tivoapp tivoapp.orig
cp tivoapp.orig tivoapp
echo -ne "\x10\x40\x00\x2b" | dd conv=notrunc of=tivoapp bs=1 seek=6713220
sync
mount -o remount,ro /
reboot

[dturturro]

thanks, I'll try that today!

Ok, I tried it, rebooted and 30 second skip was not enabled. I was able to program it with S-P-S-3-0-S. Any ideas where to go from here?

[Da Goon]

There's not any reason it should not have worked unless you're running another sw version or made a typo. I'd put my original tivoapp back in place to avoid issues due to a bad patch. Any ideas where to go from here?Try it again. That's the only way to make it permanent.

[dturturro]

I've had several problems trying to zipper my drive. I want to start from scratch with a new CD so I redownloaded: lba48, an instant cake 6.3d image, the zipper script and superpatch (I want 30 second skip to stay permenant on my HR10-250). I unzipped everything and put the items in the tools directory but I'm missing vmlinux.px.

Any thoughts on what I did wrong or how to fix it? Before suggesting 'search' I did that and only saw posts regarding the program not running. Nothing about it missing altogether. ;)

Don't know if it matters, but I have 1 correction. It should read "I just upgrade to 6.3E (not D). Sorry.

Is there a way I can try using my previous RBAUTCH_FILES.TGZ which worked last time? I have no option other then to download the newest update which might be the problem.

Is there a way I can try using my previous RBAUTCH_FILES.TGZ which worked last time? I have no option other then to download the newest update which might be the problem.if you used the Zipper, you can pull it off of there. The TWP distro included with the enhancement script hasn't changed in several months, so I doubt it would make a difference if you rolled back to an earlier version.

Gonna use Slicer to go to 6.3e on one of my HR10-250s that's constantly rebooting and had a question. IIRC, someone once said that the instructions in The Slicer weren't exactly correct--something about not having to do the symlinks command or something.

Does anyone have the step-by-step instructions for using The Slicer after the slices have been installed? I'm basically looking to confirm what's exactly done after The Slicer runs.

I did that, but every time I run tweak.sh it still insists on downloading the newest update (which was the one previous to the latest one). if you used the Zipper, you can pull it off of there.

I don't see the slices in my SwSystem directory. Any idea how to get them there?

[richr69]

I zippered my R10 using Zipper 1.7b awhile ago. The TWP in that version of the zipper is something like 1.3 or so (I don't remember). How do I update the TWP to the latest version found on the latest Zipper.

[Lord Vader]

Just out of curiosity, does it matter which version of The Slicer we use? I have Slicer6.3a and wish to slice from 6.3a to 6.3e.

[rbautch]

I did that, but every time I run tweak.sh it still insists on downloading the newest update (which was the one previous to the latest one).If you put it in the same directory as tweak.sh, it will skip the download.

[rbautch]

Just out of curiosity, does it matter which version of The Slicer we use? I have Slicer6.3a and wish to slice from 6.3a to 6.3e.I think you mean version 1.3a. Should work fine if your adapter uses stock drivers, or you copy your backported drivers manually. I don't think they added the feature that automatically copies backported drivers until a later version.

[Lord Vader]

10-4. Thanks.

BTW, check your PM. I didn't want to clutter this thread with that question. ;)

How do I update the TWP to the latest version found on the latest Zipper.Running tweak.sh will get you caught up with the latest version from the Zipper. However this is not guaranteed to be latest version of TWP.

[Lord Vader]

Thanks. BTW, do you recommend I re-do the hacks (encryption, 30-second, etc.) BEFORE I reboot?

[katiebear00]

Thanks. BTW, do you recommend I re-do the hacks (encryption, 30-second, etc.) BEFORE I reboot?No. It's best to run the enhancement script on it after it reboots.

[Lord Vader]

OK, it's rebooting now. Slicer went fine. I just hope I didn't lose bash. I remember losing bash on another such unit months back. Had to serial in to do anything.

[Lord Vader]

No. It's best to run the enhancement script on it after it reboots.

F@#$!

It rebooted, and as feared, I lost all bash access. Tried to serial in and now THAT won't even connect! I've tried all the various baud rates with TeraTermPro. Any suggestions?

If I could at least get serial bash I can manually run tweak and upload rbautch's files into the same directory as tweak.

[Soapm]

Just zipper again, you'll be all set.

[Lord Vader]

But can I do that without losing all my recordings and stuff?

[Lord Vader]

What's really irritating me more than anything else now is that going to 6.3e is supposed to stop all these damn reboots. In the three hours since I Sliced to 6.3e, this thing has rebooted 7 times, messing up several recordings! :mad:

[Da Goon]

But can I do that without losing all my recordings and stuff?
I'd assume so. Doesn't it ask if there are recordings you want to keep? You can easily rehack the box without hurting any recordings, as long as you don't reimage, and the existing recordings are not scrambled and you don't disturb the diskconfig key.

[Lord Vader]

I think you're right. It's been so long since I last zippered a drive, that I easily forget. :p

Either I'm getting old or I got too involved in my HR20-700 DVRs. :eek:

[Da Goon]

...or I got too involved in my HR20-700 DVRs. :eek:
Traitor! :eek:

No not really. They are actually decent boxes once you get used to them.

[Lord Vader]

I'm one of those who still uses both. I still have multiple HR10-250s working and don't intend to dismiss them outright.

[Lord Vader]

Interesting...I used The Slicer to go to 6.3e. The script ran and gave me a response that it was successful in loading the 6.3e slices. However, the information screen on the HR10-250 says my software is version 6.3a. Also, I jusrt rezippered the drive successfully, and when running Zipper then tweak, both mentioned during their running that I have "version 6.3a". If Slicer says it was successful in loading the 6.3e slices, why is it I'm being told I'm still at 6.3a?

Edited to add that my SwSystem in MFS shows this:


6.3a-01-2-357 tyDb 53870 11/01/07 17:31 796
6.3e-01-2-357 tyDb 1139775 11/01/07 17:31 780
ACTIVE tyDb 53870 11/01/07 17:31 796

I noticed this IS different from what it was before I Sliced to 6.3e.

I noticed this IS different from what it was before I Sliced to 6.3e.It looks like everything says you are still running 6.3a. The slicer checks to see if the slices are loaded in MFS, which they are, and then runs installSw.itcl to install the new software on your alternate partition. It looks like that never happened.

[Lord Vader]

Well, that sucks. I wonder why Slicer ended up telling me it successfully installed 6.3e. :confused:


I did notice, FWIW, that following the Slicer install and responses, when my unit rebooted, the message on the screen said "updating new software," or something like that. I wouldn't think it would do that if it remained at the same version, but I can be wrong.

[incog-neato]

It sure seems like you still have "A"

6.3a-01-2-357 tyDb 53870 11/01/07 17:31 796
6.3e-01-2-357 tyDb 1139775 11/01/07 17:31 780
ACTIVE tyDb 53870 11/01/07 17:31 796

If you had a "pending restart" message in system info or phone it might have "upgraded" itself BACK to A. I had that happen a while back. In fact, each time I sliced the next day it went BACK to the previous version. There was a patch for that somewhere on DDB which worked for me.

Edit: Found it - //www.d-e-a-l-d-a-t-a-b-a-s-e.com/forum/showpost.php?p=271411&postcount=1149 (obviously remove the dashes)

[Lord Vader]

I just may leave it at 6.3a and see if it still suffers from these constant reboots. If it does, then I'll try to fiddle with it again. I wish there was a way to remove the 6.3a software and leave 6.3e as the only one to work with. But that'd be too easy, wouldn't it? ;)

[Lord Vader]

One would think, but I believe incog is right, as he pointed to what was "active" in my setup. But as I said, I'll monitor it and see if the reboots continue. I've programmed some recordings tonight on CBS, which seems to be the common denominator in these weird reboots.

[Soapm]

I wonder if you can slice again since 6.3e is still on the alternate partition?


Edited to correct version to 6.3e

[tall1]

I ran 1.3a slicer tonight to upgrade from 6.3b to 6.3e. Everything ran fine and I ran tweak which also completed without any problem. But it appears tivoapp was never touched, tivoapp still has the 8/2/2007 date and not surprisingly, I have no 30 sec skip or the other hacks. I ran tweak uninstall/install again and same thing. I have enough disk space, everything looks ok it's just that zipper remains unzipped. It displays 6.3e too. Any ideas?

EDIT: I found this post (http://www.tivocommunity.com/tivo-vb/showthread.php?p=5426387&&#post5426387) from Russ that fixed it. I needed to run the "touch /zipper_flag" command before running the script.

You may try manually running superpatch.

[incog-neato]

Slicer screens don't say "installing service update." You get then when it's the D* upgrade. If it said "installing the service update" then it should have installed the new software.

[Lord Vader]

Edited to correct version to 6.3e

I imagine I could. Regardless, the reboot problem still exists, and it's definitely tied to CBS somehow. The thing reboots multiple times when I'm watching or recording a CBS show, but not when I'm tuned to any other network or channel. How odd.

Now I have to figure out how to get Slicer to install 6.3e and not 6.3a again.

[katiebear00]

[Lord Vader]

Yup, I'm sure. I always double-check such things. I also doubt it was because I was using an older version of Slicer, to which Lou had alluded elsewhere. Most folks I talk to say it doesn't matter which version. Nevertheless, I do have the most recent version, Slicer 1.9, so I'll give that a try for the heck of it. Pulling the drive and re-zippering it wasn't that bad anyway. The most irritating part is trying to get 6.3e to take and not 6.3a.

[Lord Vader]

Update, FWIW...

I got the latest version of Slicer, 1.9, and used that. Looked like it worked. I then reran tweak and bufferhack, the latter modified for 6.3e. I rebooted and noticed some of my hacks like 30-second skip weren't working. So, I used the "echo ne..." patches. At first it wouldn't work because I had more than one tivoapp (backups, etc.) in my /tvbin file, taking up too much space. So, I removed those extra ones, leaving me with tivoapp and the patched tivoapp.orig.

I then rebooted and am now stuck perpetually at the unleashed splash screen. It just stays there. This hasn't happened before, so I'm wondering what could be wrong. Any ideas?

[incog-neato]

Yes, but sometimes AFTER you install the new update using slicer the D* update takes you BACK to the previous version. There is a script to fix that posted on DDB. Each time I slicer'd to 6.3C (a while back) the next day I was back to 6.3A because the 6.3a slices never deleted themselves from the MFS. It was weird. So now I always run this script after an upgrade just to cma.

Zipper again, you should be all set.

I hope so. That's a lot more palatable than having to re-image and lose all my recordings! Wish me luck, Soapm. ;)

Rezippered it and am now waiting. It rebooted, went to the unleashed splash screen, rebooted again, and is now hanging at that unleashed screen--again.

This isn't looking good, soap. :(

Well, I'm at least able to get a bash prompt via serial. Any suggestions on what to do first, soap? I'm stuck at the unleashed screen.

Post the log from the serial bash so someone can take a look at it. I am surprised Zipper didn't get you back in.

[Lord Vader]

I even reran tweak to see if that would work; it didn't. So, I restored the original tivoapp, but it's still hanging at the unleashed screen. Here's what the responses are:

The first few lines may be missing due to not being able to scroll up that far in my telnet connection.

Let me know what you think.

[Lord Vader]

Well, whaddya think, soapm? :D

Does it look like I'll have to re-image the thing altogether, or is there hope to save all the recordings?

[Da Goon]

Looks like a bad tivoapp patch. Remove any calls to ncid from your startup scripts. If you've got serial bash, use "sz" to grab your kernel log and post it as an attachment. It will provide more info and will much easier to read. If you're getting bash started early enough, try using skill -9 rc.sysinit, if that halts the startup, it may give you time to fix things or troubleshoot before tivoapp starts.

[Enrique]

when I run the zipper_isomaker.bat I get a message: You forgot to add the boot disc to the zipper_tools folder. Exiting...
Press any key to close this window.


Do I need PTVupgrade Iba48 boot disc? or Can I use this person links to?

[Lord Vader]

Go to the Zipper instruction site and simply make sure that all the files shown on the screen shot are also on your Zipper tools CD, except for an image if you already have that on your drive itself. It sounds like you're missing one of the key things needed, and it's very easy to add it. Once it's in your Zipper folder, you'll then create an ISO that incorporates everything.

[Enrique]

It sounds like you're missing one of the key things needed, and it's very easy to add it.Well i added everything from the zipper.zip, So i am not 100% on anything other then that I need.


Do I need a image or not to get the zipper working?

[Lord Vader]

If you already have an image on your disk, you do not need one on your Zipper tools CD. If you are zippering a virgin drive, then you'll need an image, and that can easily be added to your Zipper tools CD. Look for an Instantcake image and add that to your Zipper tools CD.

[Markman07]

Anyone know what EndpadPlus version is included with the zipper / script ?

A few nice features have been recently added.

1.2.0 (September 4, 2007)
-- added bookmark feature to start playing show after start padding (drnull)
-- updated & changed DST code to reflect new time changes in the US (falcontx)

1.1.5 (July 15, 2007)
-- added back-to-back exemption option (falcontx)

[Lord Vader]

Well, he IS going to need an image on either the drive itself or the CD.

It has been awhile since I first tweak'ed. Last night I decided to download the latest version.

Now, Tivoweb is not working. I can start it, but if I click on NPL, this is what I get

action_nowshowing '' ''
can't read "::multi_delete": no such variable
while executing
"if {$::multi_delete} {
set nstype 6
} else {
set nstype 0
}"

invoked from within
"$cmd $p1 $p2 $p3"
(procedure "do_action" line 19)
invoked from within
"do_action $action $chan $part $env 1"


Any ideas?

I recently put NowShowing and dserver into tvbin in order to run TySuiteJ.

[fredfillis]

never mind, fixed it myself

[Fofer]

How did you fix it? Those details might help others who encounter the same problem in the future. :)

[daleykd]

I just want to verify that I read this right:

If I had an HR10-250 at 6.3c (Zippered), let it upgrade to 6.3e via the phone line and DirecTV upgraded it, I lost my hacked TiVo.

Now, can I use the Zipper again (with rbautch scripts) on 6.3e? Does the Zipper work ok with 6.3e?

Thanks.

[Lord Vader]

Yes, Zipper works fine with 6.3e.

Can you clarify how you fixed this issue? I have the same issue since the recent upgrade.

[incog-neato]

I had a couple problems with 6.3e/HR10. For 1, if you answer yes to ADD CHANNEL LOGOS it totally locks up (rbautch confirmed this but I'm not sure if it has been fixed yet) and the other problem was the TiVoweb wouldn't install. Ultimately I installed both of those items manually. I just want to verify that I read this right:

[MurrayW]

When I was running tweak.sh I had a typo when trying to name my HR10-250 at the customize bash prompt step. I tried using the backspace key and the delete key to correct my mistake, but these keys just added some giberish to the end of my already erroneous name.

I have 2 questions:

1. In general, when you are using linix scripts, how can you backspace to correct an error in an entry?

2. It's not a big deal to run the enhancement script over again, but if I can save a few minutes, I'd prefer to just run the portion that customizes your bash prompt. Is that EASY to do? I am sure that it is possible, but if it takes more time than it would to re-run the entire script, I would rather just re-run the full script -- can you tell I am lazy! ;)

thanks,
Murray

Don't rerun the script, just edit the /.profile file with the correct name for the bash prompt.

[Lopey]

I can't seem to find the twp config file. Were is it put?

[bhang]

sorry if its been asked, but I couldn't find it, can this be run on an SA1?

[Da Goon]

bhang

There are major differences in the MFS structure of an S1 compared to an S2 as well as processor differences (PPC vs MIPS), so .tcl scripts and binaries aren't backwards compatible. So my best guess would be no, this script won't work. I'm sure it'll run (or try to) since I assume it's a shell script (which is portable) but I'd heavily advise against doing so.

[eschuckmer]

I have a Hughes HDVR2 running 6.3e and have been having some problems with TivoWebPlus. Even though the lines are in my author script to start TWP, many times when I try to access TWP through a browser it comes back with the "connection timed out" message. I can get TWP to perform correctly by running the alias twprs that was installed by tweak.sh. But I would love for TWP to remain up for longer than it does.

I know that tweak.sh used to install a cron entry to automatically restart TivoWebPlus every night at 3AM. However, it now seems that this step is no longer done. Is there any reason, in particular, that this was removed? Would there be any problem with creating a cron entry to do this myself?

BTW, I've been hacking this Tivo from back in the Sleeper days, and did all my hacking previously without this wonderful script, so I have a pretty good understanding of how things work. I never used to have this problem with TWP periodically becoming unavailable. I understand it may have to do with 6.3e but was wondering if anyone has any ideas.

Thanks.

[rbautch]

Earlier versions of TWP were a bit flaky, and required periodic restarts to get some features working. The current version of TWP is more stable and reliable, so I removed the cron entries. There's no problem with creating a cron entry that periodically starts or restarts TWP.

[bhang]

I used the sapper disk I got made today on my sa2, and it seemed to work fine but when I go to my.tivo.ip(192.168.1.104) I get the "you just installed networking, blahblahblah" I changed the port in tivoweb.cfg to 8080, when I go to my.tivo.ip/:8080 I get "resource not found"

I tried twprs, it said it was restarting but I didnt see the usual stuff that shows up on the screen when its loading.

I tried loading with "twp" but I get another http server found, exiting to stop reboot loop, or sumthing like that

I used "ps ax" but I don't see tivoweb listed

it seems like everything else is working, I just read a thread about "adding logos" killing TWP? is this my prob? can I fix it without re SAppering?

telnet, ftp work fine

thanks

tried twprs, still "resource not found"

so it seems to be running but I cant connect, Im wondering if its theme related? I dunno I'm grabbing at straws, Ive read thru alot of this post but Ill keep looking, searches have gotten me nowhere...

edit:
I just did the tweak uninstall then ran tweak.sh again but said no to installing logos, so of course I dont have any chan logos :( and I changed the twp http port to 8080(since the tivo uses 80 for the "you installed networking, blahblah) and I still get the resource not found error...

what am I doing wrong, Im trying to read the whole 88 pages but Im not finding much on this problem, which leads me to believe its user error on my end.... ANYBODY?

Ok I reran tweak.sh to get my logos back, I then changed my tivoweb port to 8080 in all 3 copies of tivoweb.cfg but I still get "resource not found", I've tried everything I can think of, Im no linux guru but Im not a total noob either, maybe I should start my own thread, on this...ATM, I need an advil and a power-nap, Ive spent ~3 hours today and maybe 2 yesterday, I want to try re installing, but after the script im not sure about where to put it or the symlink thing, so I gotta read up before I try that...

[bhang]

All I can get is resource not found, my question is can I just use the "normal" install instructions for tivowebplus? I'm looking to try the 2.1 beta

thanks for anyhelp anybody has,

bhang

[paris5]

Sure, you can install TWP anyway you want. The enhancement script just copies TWP to your root directory and puts a line in the author file to start it when your tivo boots. Try connecting to TWP from a different PC, and confirm you don't have any firewalls on your PC blocking access. If you still have trouble, try posting in the TWP thread.

ok, so I have twp installed and its running I just cant connect, I can however connect to another sa1 tivo on my network, if I install twp again, I will have to re run the tweak.sh to get it moved to the new location, correct me if im wrong but this is how i understand it..

ok, so im headed to the twp thread with this problem, but on the 3rd rerunning of tweak.sh I got another problem it didnt happen on the first 3 installs, but when I telnet in I get this before the first prompt then I dont see it again till I re open a telnet session...***FIXED 9:25pm est***

what the heck is it and why is it happening this time and not the others?
**FIXED** I dont know what or why but re tweaking seemes to have fixed it, the resource not found & time difference still screwed up.

sorry to keep asking such dumb questions, but there ain;t to many tivo resources around.

bhang

edit:
this may be part of my problem, the time on my tivo(guide) is 5 hours different than the time my shell shows(on the same box) [ie its now 7.39eastern dalight savings, the shell says 00:39am UTC] I ttried setting the shell date and TZ, but that throws the tivo time off..?

[Lord Vader]

The latest version of the script now has patch locations for 6.3e. Since the the script is usually run right after running the Zipper, it expects to find a /zipper_flag file before it will patch your tivoapp. So if you choose to run the script strictly to patch your tivoapp, run this command first to create the flag: touch /zipper_flag

Russ,

Does the latest version also have patches for 6.2a? I've got a couple old DTIVOs on 4.01b that I'm going to redo with 6.2a and was wondering if I'd have to apply all these patches or if your latest version has all them for 6.2a as well.

[HellFish]

The zipper instructions advise you to download a specific superpatch if you have 6.2a. I believe you need to download the file from stonersmurf's post.

[Lord Vader]

Yeah, that was included when I created the Zipper tools CD. I was just wondering whether the additional patches referenced above were included with Russ's tweak.sh script.

[Lord Vader]

Looks like a bad tivoapp patch. Remove any calls to ncid from your startup scripts. If you've got serial bash, use "sz" to grab your kernel log and post it as an attachment. It will provide more info and will much easier to read. If you're getting bash started early enough, try using skill -9 rc.sysinit, if that halts the startup, it may give you time to fix things or troubleshoot before tivoapp starts.

Well, here we go again, dang it!

I imaged a new drive with 6.2a, Zippered it, then found out that rbautch's tweak doesn't have the encryption and 30-second skip patches, so I applied those manually. So I reboot, and what happens? It hangs again at the TIVO unleashed splash screen!

Just what the heck is causing this, and why does this keep happening? It's irritating to say the least. Now I've got to take the darn box apart again! :mad:

[HellFish]

At the end of October, I used the Zipper v4.1 with the superpatch specially designed for 6.2a by stonersmurf I referenced yesterday, and it work flawlessly.

The superpatch has all those patches, so if you are using the Zipper, the tweak script does not need to have it. It calls the superpatch.

edit: obviously this is for a dtivo using 6.2a

[Lord Vader]

Well, apparently it's not using Superpatch properly, because after I Zipper the drive and run tweak.sh, which is part of the whole process of imaging with 6.2a then Zippering the drive, the 30-second skip function, among other patches, aren't working. This is where I'm rather puzzled. If Zipper is supposed to include and run superpatch, why don't the superpatches actually work? :confused:

[HellFish]

It doesn't natively include any superpatch, you have to download the correct one. To make things easier for you, don't even download superpatch-67all-1.2 (We're playing tag (http://www.tivocommunity.com/tivo-vb/showthread.php?p=5775421#post5775421)) :)

edit: on the zipper page it has a photo of what you're folder should look like before burning to CD. instead of having Superpatch v1.5, you should have superpatch-6.2a.tcl in the folder. DO NOT have any other version of superpatch in the folder.

[Lord Vader]

I think I've got it figured out. Check my question re. set_mrv_name, though. Now here's another question: if I wish to use bufferhack41.tcl, should I do that after all the superpatch stuff?

[HellFish]

Yes, install bufferhack after you get this working. Except use the version in my signature, not the regular bufferhack41.tcl. And make sure you read my edit above.

[Lord Vader]

Well, I know I do it after Zipper; I just wanted to know if I do it before superpatch62a or after superpatch62a is run.

[HellFish]

Do tweak.sh (which will run superpatch62a) as soon as you turn on the tivo after Zippering it.

I don't even know if the superpatch will work if you do bufferhack first (I think superpatch needs to be run on a clean tivoapp, and bufferhack modifies the tivoapp file).

[Lord Vader]

That's what I did before: I Zippered, then ran tweak.sh, but noticed the patches weren't present, so I manually applied them, which is what led to the booting up hanging at the splash screen.

[rbautch]

That's what I did before: I Zippered, then ran tweak.sh, but noticed the patches weren't present, so I manually applied them, which is what led to the booting up hanging at the splash screen.Instead of manually applying patches, which is prone to error, try manually running superpatch.

[Lord Vader]

Russ, I think I did it right now. (This would be much easier if I didn't do these things like once every few months--I get stale doing that!)

I Zippered, ran tweak, then after rebooting the unit, I ran superpatch.tcl. After that, I THEN ran bufferhack and rebooted. Everything now seems OK. (Crossing my fingers...)

One thing I do notice, however, is that superpatch created a tivoapp backup called "tivoapp.original" then bufferhack created its own tivoapp backup called "tivoapp.bufferhack.backup". Is it safe to delete via the "rm" command one of those backups? Basically I want to make sure if I do delete one, upon reboot the thing doesn't get stuck again at the splash screen.

[CrashHD]

you can delete them, after rebooting. If you delete them without a reboot between the time they're created and the time you delete them, it results in orphaned inodes, and you loose that much usable drive space from your root partition.

The short explanation is that when tivoapp.original or tivoapp.bufferhack.backup are created, they are still the in-use tivoapp until the system is rebooted, and deleting an in-use file is what causes that problem.

What you do with those backup files is a matter of personal preference. I gzip my tivoapp.original, and delete the bufferhack backup.

[Lord Vader]

That was probably my problem from the beginning. Dummy me should have remembered that.

[taekwondodo]

Does anyone have any idea why Tivo Desktop no longer works after loading MRV with the enhancement script?

I am running an HDVR2 + enhancement script + MRV - MRV works, but Music/Photos no longer finds TivoDesktop (1.3, tried 2.1 as welll) - It used to work, and now it doesn't.

Thanks.

[ttodd1]

Think I read you need version 2.0.

[taekwondodo]

I tried 1.3, 2.1, 2.0 and 2.3 (Deleting tivobeacon.exe each time) - none of them work. Where do I look in the tivo to see if the right application is running?

Thanks.

- Jeff

[Gunnyman]

you don't
everything is on the PC side.
since MRV works, superpatch has been applied correctly on the tiVo.
have you tried JavaHMO?
it's really not that hard to configure?

[taekwondodo]

I had JavaHMO - and had no idea how to configure it... There were no destructions, nothing... nowhere. how do you configure it?

Thanks.

- Jeff

[bengalfreak]

I had JavaHMO - and had no idea how to configure it... There were no destructions, nothing... nowhere. how do you configure it?

Thanks.
- Jeff

You double click the JavaHMO configure icon and away you go. A warning is in order, one of the problems with JavaHMO is that development on it has stopped completely. JavaHMO looks for the specific version of Java that comes with the program. If you let Java upgrade to a newer version it will break JavaHMO. And you can't use newer Java based programs, like Limewire with the old version of Java. If you can live with those limitations, JavaHMO works great. I solved the problem by putting JavaHMO on my server PC and running Limewire from a different computer on the network.

[rsuchowi]

Check your default gateway on the Tivo side. When my default GW was not proper it caused all kinds of problems.

[fredfillis]

It has been awhile since I first tweak'ed. Last night I decided to download the latest version.

Now, Tivoweb is not working. I can start it, but if I click on NPL, this is what I get

action_nowshowing '' ''
can't read "::multi_delete": no such variable
while executing
"if {$::multi_delete} {
set nstype 6
} else {
set nstype 0
}"

invoked from within
"$cmd $p1 $p2 $p3"
(procedure "do_action" line 19)
invoked from within
"do_action $action $chan $part $env 1"


Any ideas?

I recently put NowShowing and dserver into tvbin in order to run TySuiteJ.

Apologies for not sharing how I fixed this. You need a later version of TivoWebPlus than was installed by tweak.sh. Check out the tivowebplus thread.

I am trying to get the permanent 30 second skip working. I googled it and found this command
#30-second skip
echo -ne "\x10\x40\x00\x2b" | dd conv=notrunc of=tivoapp bs=1 seek=6717416
which I ran from command prompt. In the past the command seems like it was longer than that.
That didn't do it, then I tried the enhancement script, that didn't do it.
Is that 30 second command right? Is it supposed to go in the author file for each reboot?
Thanks

I ran the tweak script on my DSR7000 6.3f and oddly, I didn't get the channel logos or the replaced splash screen even though I choose these options. Is there a way to manually add the logos? Thanks.

6.3f on a DSR7000? I thought 6.3 was only for HD DTV's. Maybe that's the problem.

[kniederberger]

6.3f on a DSR7000? I thought 6.3 was only for HD DTV's. Maybe that's the problem.

Nope 6.3f is also for the SD DVRs (See this thread (http://www.tivocommunity.com/tivo-vb/showthread.php?t=377373)). My R10 recieved the 6.3f upgrade on it's own a few weeks ago and I used the slicer to upgrade my DSR7000 to 6.3f a couple of weeks ago.

I had channel logos after the 6.3f slices were allpied, but lost them after running the tweak script.

[Lord Vader]

I have never been able to successfully run tweak or retain all the hacks after Slicer was run, and I've been trying this for 3 years at least. I have no idea as to why this happens, either.

[tivoupgrade]

I have never been able to successfully run tweak or retain all the hacks after Slicer was run, and I've been trying this for 3 years at least. I have no idea as to why this happens, either.

The Slicer has been available for less than a year, so I'm not sure that this is a slicer-related issue so much as it is a problem that might be caused by manually updating to a newer version of the OS without going through the 'normal' process.

It could be that your channel logos need to be reloaded (there is a channel logo slice floating around out there somewhere) which may or may not help. Or its possible that something about the format has changed in the database that requires it to be repopulated from the satellite or from a different slice file...

[edit]
This may work for you:


cd /var/packages
wget http://www.dvrupgrade.com/software/update_tool/logo-67.slice.gz
gzip -d logo-67.slice.gz
dbload logo-67.slice

[rbautch]

I have never been able to successfully run tweak or retain all the hacks after Slicer was run, and I've been trying this for 3 years at least. I have no idea as to why this happens, either.As Lou mentioned, some things cannot be retained across a slice upgrade, namely anything that has to do with tivoapp like 30-sec skip, encryption, etc.. This is because tivoapp gets replaced when you upgrade your software to a newer version. The point of the slice upgrade is upgrade without pulling the drive, and then reapply your tivoapp patches.

Thanks for the help, I tried the above and it didn't work on this DSR7000 with 6.3f. Actually when going to run the above, I found that dbload was no longer present on the system so I had to reload it. I rebooted and tried again with no success. Finally the logos loaded after I ran the command as "tivosh dbload logo-67.slice"

There seem to be a lot of odd things going on with 6.3f such as missing files and strange occurrences with scripts. A couple of the enhancements installed by the tweak script did not seem to take, the all most there splash screen wasn't replaced and the channel logos??? The unit did do a double reboot when acquiring satellite data when I did the sync, reboot after running the tweak script (unfortunately, I was in telnet, not serial so I didn't capture the error). Has anyone else out there had success with tweak on a SD 6.3f unit? Maybe Lou can run it on the test unit he had on his bench a couple of weeks back:) Thanks.

[kniederberger]

Channel logos are missing again:( The logos were there yesterday and are gone today. The system has been up for about 4 days and has had no new hacks or reboots since the logo slice was applied. All I can figure is that there must have been something downloaded from the satellite that is incompatible with the logos on this system? Any ideas?

I need to get my 3 Zippered DTivos "modernized".

They are all still running V6.2 and have old hacks. I tried the "no slices" upgrade from V6.2 to V6.2a a while back, but it did not seem to work... of course, the time displayed in the schedule was off for an hour during the DST weeks between the old and the new.

I do have the V6.2a slices in my MFS SwSystem directory.

I need a sanity check that my planned steps to a hacked V6.2a system are correct:


Buy the "slicer" and run it on each of my boxes per instructions at http://www.dvrupgrade.com/forums/showthread.php?t=6
Reboot so that it is now running the V6.2a image
Run tweak_uninstall.sh to clean out the old hacks
Download, copy and run the latest tweak.sh to put in the latest & greatest hacks


Does this look workable?

Thanks!

Update: I just looked at the latest tweak.sh and it looks like it finds the uninstaller, or downloads one if it needs it... so i looks like I can skip step 3 altogether.

[rbautch]

I need a sanity check that my planned steps to a hacked V6.2a system are correct:That should work fine. tweak.sh itself never changes - it's just a wrapper script that downloads and installs the latest version of the main script, which is called start.sh. One more thing you'll need to do is reapply superpatch. Follow the link in the Zipper directions to download the 6.2a version from DDB.

[goony]

All went well - thanks rbautch :up::)

Two of my boxes didn't have the slice that I wanted (I decided to make them match their hardware type) so I first had to grab the desired slice and do a dbload on them.

After that, I just did
slicer <desired version name>
ran superpatch
ran tweak.sh (deleted old stuff, loaded all new tweaks)

Of course, I had to download stuff, move it to my DTivos, reboots, etc.

I upgraded using Sapper and Slicer from 7.2 to 9.1 After I applied the slices I lost my network connection. Could not telnet or perform FTP.

I have a Toshiba sd-h400 series 2 box

The steps I took.

1. Used SApper to apply a new image
2. Setup the network with Static IP
3. Script ran just fine no errors.
4. Put HD back in box
5. Ran Sapper script for remaining hacks
6. Verified it all worked. And it did after guide setup.
7. Verified that 9.1 update was brought down and waiting to be installed.
8. Ran Slicer with no problems or errors.
9. Lost network connectivity after that. IP is still there but no Signal present.

My Question is did I do something wrong here?

And if this is what happens!! then how do I restore the network back? so I can Telnet, FTP and get guide info again.

As you can tell I'm kind of new at this. Last time I touched the box was a year ago.

Any help out there?

Thanks

[Lord Vader]

I have found that every single time I use Slicer, I've lost all telnet access, and rezippering never has worked to restore it. I end up having to Instantcake the whole thing from scratch. Because of this, I have abandoned the use of Slicer altogether.

[Da Goon]

Get a serial cable for debugging. If you don't have one, then you may have to pull your drive and rehack the new software.

This is why I'd recommed to read thru the scripts you're using to get at least get some idea of what they're doing. Reimaging just because of lost telnet access is COMPLETELY unneccesary.

Well that's not good news.

I'm not sure if I have a driver issue because I'm going from 7.2 to 9.1.
My last go around I answered yes to the question about the 2.0 usb drivers needed to be downloaded and applied. First time I did not do that. But I'm not to keen on applying the slices and finding out that I need to do this all over again.

The fact that it says no signal makes me think it may be a driver issue. The USB device is a Linksys WUSB11 USB WiFi Wireless TiVo Adapter. Has been running well since Oct of 2006.

I now have it back on 7.2 with everything working again. If I run Slicer my thinking is it's going to wack the network again Unless the 2.0 drivers are required with 9.1 upgrade.

Anyone have any issues like this? How did you fix it?

Odd. I've only had the Slicer fail once and that was due to impatience. I though it had died and ended up rebooting into a clean image so had to Zipper myself back to happiness.

Since then I've had no issues. Run the Slicer per instructions, followed the prompts, walked away for 15 minutes or so, came back and hit a return (in some cases the process completed without returning the prompt) and finished out to a hacked latest version.

I also tend to re-Tweak to catch up. Tweaking 6.3f got me onto TWP 2.1beta. I'm glad i did.

Seems to randomly reboot every once in a while. Have any idea what causes that? Or is there a specific log I can look into to see what may be causing it to happen. everything else sems to be fine, I have ftp, telnet and the wifi seems to be all working fine.

I guess I could do it all over again but I thought I would ask first.

My assumption in doing all this is that I must upgrade to 9.1 in order to keep my guide coming in. Is that correct or could I just stay at 7.2 forever?


Update #2 - Looks like the rebooting issue has gone away for now. After doing it 3 times or so it has ot done it since I wrote this post the first time.


Thanks

I am using PTVnet with the InstantCake 6.2 CD's. Everything worked great. I then applied the Enhancement script. using the enhanced mode. I updated the USB drivers when instructed. Could not connect to the Tivo. I then pulled the harddrive (again sigh) and reinstalled the PTVnet and InstantCake. Again everything worked fine. I then applied the Enhancement Script and decided not to update the USB drivers.

That is the only change I made. Now the system keeps rebooting right after the AlmostThere.png screen comes up.


I also created a new AlmostThere.png screen. Bliss with a couple changes. Just remove Bliss from the title and FTP to the correct folder.

Edit 1: Ok I did the same thing and bypassed the DHCP and the USB installs. Endless reboot gone but now no networking. Is there a way to get networking without the endless rebooting?

There's some specific information about it earlier in this thread (here (http://www.tivocommunity.com/tivo-vb/showthread.php?p=3078001#post3078001)). I posted some correctly formated splash screens here (http://www.mastersav.com/Tivo_Splash2.html).

I was able to use your script without the rebooting problem after I decided not to do anything with the USB or network stuff. The rebooting problem started before I changed any PNG files. My AlmostThere,png works fine on my tivo.

What I would like to do is skip the USB and DHCP network stuff altogether. I have pulled my drive (left the top off the Tivo for now) at least 5 times. Using PTVnet and InstantCake 6.2 it works great but I would like to use 90% of your enhancements. I have tried to install the enhancements several times trying something different each time.

I cannot get the network to connect. I am using a TrendNet TU2-ET100. I would like to keep the PTVnet with InstantCake USB & Network drivers. Is there a way to make a new script that does not run either of those. Saying no to the questions for network and USB doesn't matter it still won't connect. If you know of any other reason why my network won't connect after I run your script let me know.

I just uploaded a new version that should fix your issue. I don't have time to test it fully right now, but it should work. A few things to note:

If the script detects that you have PTVnet, it will prompt you for some network information, like static IP or DHCP. You can't skip that, or the script will exit.

The script sets up networking by inputting network parameters in the MFS database, which is different than how PTVnet does it. It replaces the PTVnet rc.sysinit.author file completely, and removes the /test.conf file in /init directory used by PTVnet to set up networking.

I thank you for the update I will check it out. However, I want to stay away from changing how PTVnet sets up the networking because it works. Can you tell me what it is about your script that you think will work? Cause I have no trouble with the way PTVnet does it. Is there a way to just skip the network setup in your script?

If I copy out the rc.sysinit.author from the /etc/rc.d/ folder and the MFS database (if I knew where it was located) run your script and then while I still have a networking connection (Doesn't fail till I install your script & reboot) transfer those files back and then reboot.

I looked and the test.conf file is already gone anyway.

Do you think that would work?


BTW where might I find this new update?

Also can I just install your version of TWP? and how?

[gbakakos]

Now that I have my Series 2 back up and running after using SApper and Slicer. Would I have any issues or what should I be aware of if I wanted to now apply Hackman to the box. I thought I recall that SApper moves the hacks around or somethng like that!!
Any suggestions? Don't do it!! Go ahead.. no problem!! ??

Thanks

I ran this script last night over my PTVnet install. I think I misunderstood one of the options. The option that asks if I would like to install USB2.0 drivers, I answered "NO" worried that it would put different drivers instead of the ones that PTVnet installed and I figured why fix what isn't broken. Well the script ran perfectly but on reboot I have no connectivity through my network.

I am probably answering my own question but did I actually clear out all my previous drivers and by choosing "NO" did not install any new ones?

My USB adapter is a Linksys USB200M. I can tell you that no (zero) lights are illuminated on the adapter now.

Great script by the way!

Thanks,

I built my 500g tivo drive from a MFSLive image of my DVR-SD40(6.2),& PTVnet CD. Installed Superpatch in /ptvupgrade/superpatch/ ,& tservser in /ptvupgrade/bin/,& use tytools10r4 to extract --everything worked fine.I only have a slow dialup connection (no router or broad band)- read a lot of threads,-ran teak.sh ( after FTP tweak.sh & rbautch-tools.tgz (binary) to /var/hack/),- using XP comannd prompt-(did not overwrite PTVnet, installed static IP, with PC-IP as router address)-everything ran fine. Could access tivo with puttytel & filezilla, but could not open the updated TivoWebPlus,(could open twp 1.2.1),& when trying to access tserver with tytools-I would get connected (no bash prompt)-then get message: connection failed, did not get telnet bash prompt-check your settings.
Didn't know where to go from there , so I ran tweak_uninstall & tivo is working as b4.
1. Is there any way to run the script or individual parts without broadband connection?
2. Should I delete the enhancements folder now?
Would appreciate any help.

Link/Act is steady on.
10/100 is steady on
FH is off.

but no lights at the hub. It worked fine before. I am willing to try the serial debugging if anyone is willing to help me out. Also what is the pin designation to make a serial connector?

OK I have made a serial cable and got connected to the tivo with SecureCRT. From this point I have no idea what to do to get the USB200m 2.1 working again.

I think I found a minor problem in one of the files included in the enhancement script. The version of Wipelogs appears to have incorrect crlf line endings on the third and fourth lines. It is not a major problem, but it's enough to keep it from working. If you run it from bash, you get an error but not when you run it from cron as most people seem to.

It appears to have been in there for a while. I checked an old version from last August and it had the same error.

I assume you mean through serial. From your serial bash prompt, I suggest first running /enhancements/tweak_uninstall.sh to get your tivo back to where it was before. This should get your networking back. If you're still interested in installing tweak.sh, and want to troubleshoot the interaction with PTVnet, then run tweak.sh again, and FTP the following files to your PC before you reboot:
/etc/rc.d/rc.sysinit.author
/etc/hotplug/usb.map

Now I'm confused. I've done that for YAC and mfs_ftp and it works fine. But what should I do for the config file for TWP? Do I create a folder called TWP, then a subfolder called config, then place the tivoweb.config file in there? So I'm not creating a symlink for the entire structure, just that one file.

I guess that makes sense, I just hadn't done that for anything other than entire programs.

Well I did the uninstall. After the uninstall I didn't get the networking back and I have lost bash prompt as well. I can connect to the tivo with secureCRT via serial but no bash prompt. When I plug a USB adapter into the tivo I get "usb.c: USB device 9 (vend/prod 0x2001/0x1a00) is not claimed by any active driver." at the cursor. but I can't type or get any other response.

Any ideas?

bash-2.02# 'insmod /lib/modules/ax8817x.o'
bash: insmod /lib/modules/ax8817x.o: No such file or directory
don't use the ' in the command.

if the file was missing or insmod couldn't find it you'd get something like : insmod: ax8817x.o: no module by that name found

also, ax8817x.o is usually a symlink to usbnet.o if you're using backport drivers, so just try to load usbnet.o

After a successful update from 6.3f to 6.4a, I decided to re-tweak my HDVR2s (since they both have the update, but not my HR10-250 for some reason...but that is another post). When I did, there were no errors displayed in the tweaking. However, when I went to check the DirecTV Central menu, "Standby" was not there where is should be.

I figured I would just run the Superpatch67Standby.tcl script from the /enhancements directory manually, but I got the following error message:

I am not looking for you to correct the patch script written by someone else, but rather looking to let you know that you may not be catching errors and definately not showing them in the tweak script when related to at least THIS piece of it. (Hence the > /dev/null in your script...) Might be better (and more informative) to display the output of the other commands, at least in the "expert" mode.

Other then that, the script works great. Thank you for making my life a little bit easier.

I uninstalled tweak.sh. Rebooted and the network adapter started working again. I downloaded all the files from /lib/modules and etc/hotplug. I reinstalled Tweak.sh, downloaded all the files as stated above, rebooted and the network adapter stopped working.

I ran a comparison on the two file sets. The only difference was in ax8817x.o. I replaced it with a copy from before running tweak.sh. rebooted and the network adapter still didnt work.

I entered
bash-2.02# insmod /lib/modules/usbnet.o

Network adapter started working. I am pretty sure it wont work when I reboot. Does anyone know what I can do to find the problem?

[Bob_Collins]

OK, newbie here, so this might be dumb question. I cannot see in the tweak.sh script where it runs the "superpatch", so do I need to manually run the version specific superpatch manually, and the set_mrv_name script manually? If so, should they be run before or after the tweak script? :confused:

Thanks in advance!

[JWThiers]

The enhancement script is for tivo's that are already hacked (i.e. superpatch already applied). That is for this thread.

If you are talking about the Zipper program that easily hacks your DTivo, that is a two stage process, the first part of the process applies superpatch. That is the other thread titled "Hacking your series 2 DTivo just got a whole lot easier..." follow the instructions carefully it is a wonderful thing.

PS Hey everyone I still lurk here from time to time

[Bob_Collins]

Thanks for the reply! I saw nothing in the instructions that indicated that Zipper installed the superpatch, only that it required it to be on the CD. Does it somply run whichever superpatch version it finds on the CD?

I've asked this question in that other thread, but no one responded to it there.

How can I be sure it runs the 6.4a superpatch which I have edited so I do not enable the 30 second skip (I don't want 30 second skip)?

[JWThiers]

ASSUMING that things haven't changed too much since I did this last (I haven't used a hacked DTivo since Feb) zipper uses whichever superpatch version that is on the CD that you make (it looks for the file starting with whatever superpatch version you have not a specific version). You can also use whatever version of the OS that you have on the CD the file that is named 000001 (or whatever it is). As long as you don't change the filename too much you are OK.

I have headed down pretty much the same path as mclevenger.

DTV RCA DVR40
InstaCake distribution version 6.2a-01-2-321
PTVnet
Linksys USB200M v 2.1

Installed "tweak.sh" today, including the updated USB drivers. Seemed to install OK, but lost USB network support after reboot.

I have successfully connected to my Tivo via serial cable and ran "tweak_uninstall.sh". Uninstall ran successfully, I rebooted, but still have no network. The USB network adapter does not light at all.

Unlike mclevenger, I did not have any success with reinstalling the module "usbnet.o". I simply get the message that it is already installed, and the network adaptor remains disabled.

Additionally, I can't rerun tweak.sh as it attempts to download updated files for installation, and I have no network connectivity.

One other thing...I initially ran "tweak.sh" from /var/hack/ and subsequently ran "tweak_uninstall.sh" from there too.

Thoughts?

[MillerRQ]

Yeah, I had looked at those posts but didn't see any solution. I have a working serial connection so I can test anything you may suggest.

BTW, I choose "Yes" when prompted to install the updated USB drivers.

[maupen]

Same here.. with DHCP and I choose YES on USB..

[rbautch]

Those posts say that there are some interactions with PTVnet that I haven't fixed yet. I just got around to fixing it today. You can now run this script safely on a PTVnet tivo. If you lost your connection, try running PTVnet again before running this script.

Hello,

Not sure if I'm experiencing the same issue as others have recently, but I attempted to uninstall/reinstall the script and messed up some of my network settings.

I breezed through the reinstall thinking not much had changed, and I entered "Yes" for DHCP - but it seemed to alter my subnet mask and default gateway. The following values were "entered":
DHCP - yes
Subnet 255.255.255.0
Default Gateway 4.2.2.2

I can ping the Tivo, so I know its getting an address on my network. So I tried JavaHMO and transferring a show from my other Tivo and both were successful.

Time to break out the serial cable?

it seemed to alter my subnet mask and default gateway. The following values were "entered":
DHCP - yes
Subnet 255.255.255.0
Default Gateway 4.2.2.2

Time to break out the serial cable?The script installs a "dummy" gateway so that hacked DirecTivos don't phone home. It sounds like it is working, so what's the problem?

[rbautch]

Actually it uses 4.2.2.2 for DNS server, not gateway. Not sure where that value came from but it could be your problem. The script that sets network parameters hasn't changed for a few years.

[bmerri19]

It sounds like it is working, so what's the problem?

Well, just can't open TWP in a browser for one thing, and am unable to Telnet into the box now.

Browser (Firefox) reports "Connection Interupted" - IE just says the cannot display the page.

BrianFrom serial bash, run this: tivosh /enhancements/net-status.tcl
and post the results here. Then start up tivowebplus with /TivoWebPlus/tivoweb consoleand post any errors here.

[Soapm]

You may can use the remote and go to the network settings then turn off DHCP and set a good IP manually.

[bnm81002]

I went to update the enhancement scripts, after it updated I no longer can access TivoWebPlus, I enter the Tivo's IP address in my PC but no TWP menu is displayed, I can MRV and I can telnet, so I know the USB adapter is working and my DTivo receiver is networked, what can I do to solve the problem? thank you

[unclemoosh]

Is TWP running? I had a similar problem. I had TWP installed in the /var/hack directory. After I ran the script, it installed TWP in /TivoWebPlus and added the start-up command in rc.sysinit.author. This caused conflicts as I also had it starting in /var/hack/TivoWebPlus.

The result was it didn't run at all. So, I killed the new directory, the /var/TWP directory and the start-up commands and life is good.

Maybe this is your problem, too! :confused:

[rbautch]

To see it it's running, enter ps | grep tivoweb

[bnm81002]

To see it it's running, enter ps | grep tivoweb

I entered that and I got
282 ttypo0 S+ 0:00 grep tivoweb

[bnm81002]

now it keeps rebooting? what can I do? thanks

[rbautch]

Try running it with tivoweb console and see if any errors come up.

ok I tried this and I have TWP back on my PC, hopefully the DTivo won't reboot anymore, thanks for the help


now a new problem, I used WinMFS to copy from my old 250GB drive to this 400GB drive, when I go to TEP info page, the drive reads Total Space 379935 MB 100.0% 287:50:56 while my other DTivo receiver's drive reads Total Space 379933 MB 100.0% 380:46:30, how could that be? both drives are the same(Seagate 400GB)?


still rebooting as I speak, is it possible that I can re-format the 400GB drive? I lost all the recordings anyway, thanks

I couldn't locate my serial cable, so had to order another one. It should arrive Monday and I'll run the commands you mentioned.

Stay tuned - and thanks for the help. :up:

Got the cable today and here is the first command and results:

The Tivo is restarting now, so I'll see what happens next.

[bmerri19]

Hmm.. seemed to get stuck at the "What is Password" screen so I rebooted and let it go further. Finally got back to another serial prompt and ran the second line, which produced somewhat similar results:

Going to reboot again and then look around a little bit more...
