Hi! I have read a little about this would like to know what each one is for!
While booting the power light will change from green to yellow as the line 'checkpanic' in the rc.sysinit gets executed. This happens a few seconds before the screen changes from the startup image to "almost there" and it's your cue to hold down a button (use pause) on the remote to trigger a panic. When the record light changes yellow, key in one of the following sequences:
0 - emergency call to tivo, touchtone dialing
1 - emergency call to tivo, pulse dialing
9 - emergency call to tivo, touchtone w/ 9 prefix
-- I suggest not doing any of these unless explicitly instructed
52 - emergency reinstall
-- this will act like you've received new software but will reinstall the existing software on the alternate root partition and boot it, particularly useful so you don't have to go trolling for backup images when your hacks fail.
56 - software install
57 - mfs check
58 - perform mfs cleanup
-- both of these will cause the green screen and various mfs checks
Obviously the tone and pulse is obvious, but why would my TiVo need to make an emergency call to HQ? What would it do? What are the other bits for and what do they do. Are there any other useful codes for this kickstart panic mode!
Many Thanks
