HR10 Tivo Dialing issues

[vMAC]

Ok can someone here help me. Haven't been here in about a year, but I need to find out something.
Had a HR10 that I hacked (Zippered, Ethernet, Serial), then a couple months later I dropped it off my service. About a week ago I reactivated it to give to my mother-in-law. I then did a CLR & Delete (bad idea). Now I can't get the Tivo functionality to work says I have to make a call. I tried that no workie; then I read the forums to try to solve the problem. Here's what I have tried:

Run Fakecall from command line - Says it ran successfully still no workie
Delete fakecall from rc.sysinit and make a call - Quits during negotiating
Re-Zipper'd the drive from my PC - Still no workie
Serial PPP - I can see the information via Putty/Hyperterminal but not getting "User Requested"

Anyone can help me, I'd hate to have to sign another agreement to get another Tivo unit when this HR10 is working perfectly (guess it's not since no Tivo but you get my point).

Running fakecall and a reboot should work. It did for mine.

Not to be rude but I stated in the OP that I already did this and it didn't work.

Anyone else?

I don't know about what the zipper does, but to keep a hacked machine from contacting the mothership, a route (or 2) is usually added to stop packets from reaching it. You may want to check that (it'd be in one of the startup scripts... possibly /etc/rc.d/rc.sysinit.author)

"Not to be rude" but I did say should work. Besides what BTUx9 said did you try fakecall a second time. Maybe it really didn't "take" the first time.
