Need to Skip Guided Setup!

[Mshadow1023]

OK, so I've accepted that my S1 TiVo is just shot. I can't get the modem to respond, and I've now decided to use it purely as a digital video hard drive, and dump old videos into it using the AV input. I erased everything from the TiVo, and because of it, I'm now stuck in the Guided Setup, and I don't even want to set anything up. Because this tivo isn't going to be plugged into a network or a phone line, I can't get past the First Call Setup. Is there any way to override this? I've tried unplugging everything and it just brings me back to the Guided Setup. Please help!

You're SOL untill you can get past the guided setup. You could install a backup image from a Tivo that has already completed guided setup. You could also get an external modem and connect it to your serial port on the Tivo to run guided setup.

Or you can use serial PPP through your PC.

not sure, but if you hack it, running fakecall.itcl may get you past that point in the guided setup (forget which s/w versions that works for)
