Duplicate drives in Tivo

[chris22]

I need to make 7 more of the exact same drive for my tivo, so heres my Idea:
Run 51killer.tcl
Put drive in Tivo, slave up a second one and run dd to copy first drive onto second

Will this work?
Will this screw up my tivo?


Thanks

Why not do an mfsrestore from one backup?

I saw this in another thread:

Sell it and buy a hacked DirecTv one on ebay, Also I sell them. No subscription required.

Just you will have popups and messages telling you to activate it.

you can maybe get $30 for your tivo.

So are you asking for help for duplicating drives and for getting that USB drive to be recognized to make it easier for you to make hacked drives for DTiVos that you are selling?

If you are using scripts and utilities that are not allowed to be sold, that's not kosher.

I don't use scripts, except the ones that are allowed to be used in commercial environmental. I just read the sh script files and figure out what I need to do. It took me over 75 hours to enable everything that I needed to enable to make it legitimately hacked with everything zipper has + much more. I Include a utility so they can click on button and install TWP from there PC. BTW: I am going to start help rewriting hack man for the new TWP. SO DON'T CRUSIFY ME!

Yes, I did learn how to hack it via Zipper, then looking at a lot of files. Then I bought an extra Hughes HDVR2 to hack just by mounting it and making proper changes to the Files. I rewrote a few scripts that would be in violation of license agreements if I used them.

You may ask: Do you even know how to program anything?
I have been a PHP Programmer for 9 years now.

You may ask: How do you know about linux?
I have been the owner of a Web Hosting company for 3 years. I deal with dedicated servers. They are a pain in the ass. I am not going to advertise my hosting or programming companys, as this is not the time or place to do so


The usb drive is really to make Samba work and automount with the Tivo.


OK it works. I have created a script to do it. It is free for personal use and for commercial use.

It works.
license: Free for personal use. FREE FOR COMMERCIAl USE!

Here is the script and where to add it:

add /ddflag to the root directory

Add the following script to the file:
/etc/rc.d/StageD_PreMfs/rc.Sequence_050.SetupApplicationEnvironment.sh

if [ -e /ddflag ]; then
rm /ddflag
dd if=/dev/hda of=/dev/hdb bs=102400
