New Almost Complete TiVo Codes List - Page 2

rburk · 10-21-2003, 07:40 PM

OK. I just picked up 'Hacking TiVo' and I understand the backdoor codes for version 3.1 and above are 'unknown' and that one way to circumvent this is to hack the backdoor code using a hex-editor.

I also know how to do all that and I may eventually dismantle my ViTo again (I already added an extra drive and 147 hours is very nice, thank you) but if someone has gone in with a hex editor, can they not post what the default setting was before it was reset by writing down the existing values in the hex locations that are to be edited? That would save a lot of folks (like myself :-) a great deal of time if all we want to do is 'get our feet wet' before diving into Linux programming...

So, I'm fixing the time on my Tivo...I got the E-E-Tivo command to work, I get the Time: prompt in the ouji line, set it at 20031101164500, and then what??? I cant seem to find out how to get the Tivo to accept the line of code. If i hit enter, nothing happens, select just adds whatever the ouji pointer is on....gaarrr!!!! I'm stuck!!! any help????

Thumbs Up is what "enters" the backdoor code when you type that in. Have you tried that?

jkeegan · 11-01-2003, 05:21 PM

Enter-Enter-TiVo worked prior to 3.0. From 3.0 on it no longer works.

I see 2 Possible errors with what you are trying to do.

1. The code needs spaces between each letter "B M U S 1"
2. This code is for 2.5.2 versions of DirecTivo, Samsung is at 3.1 or higher.

yea I did #1, looks like #2 can't be fixed being that every directivo is now 3.1.

Hi,

Odd (I think) problem: I have a Phillips DSR7000 DirecTivo, 3.1.1b software. I succesfully enabled the 30 second skip, then tried out the clock display (S-P-S-9-S). That worked fine, and when I turned it off, the clock disappeared. But now I have a station logo appearing constantly in the lower right hand corner, e.g., the CBS eye, the NBC peacock, etc. It obscures part of the screen and is really annoying - any suggestions??

Thanks.

Does anyone know if the 30 second advance works on the newer 4.0 SW? S-P-S-3-0-S seems to have no effect.

ThreeSoFar · 12-28-2003, 01:34 PM

Works on both my S2's...

Does it give you the three beep confirmation?

Make sure those S's are SELECT's and not SLOW's. Easy mistake.

I updated my TiVo box yesterday and now the one hack I've implemented is no longer working. I attempted to re-program it but it appears that TiVo has made changes to prevent it's re-entry.

The hack is from TiVo Hacks by Raffi Krikorian on pg. 6. This hack reprograms the ffwd-to-end button so that it performs a 30 second skip.

Has anyone else had this experience? If so, what to do? I want my 30 Second Skip back!!

elroyjetson: see the message posted immediately before yours. The 30-second skip gets disabled on loss of power and must be re-enabled manually.

I know this. I tried reprogramming the code and it did not work. My question was about whether anyone else has noticed that keypad hacks no longer worked after updating the winter update last week...

zbigfish · 01-19-2004, 07:33 PM

Dan203, you mentioned that you have 3 Phillips S1's for sale, but I was wondering if you happen to have a drive image for an HDR212? I just bought one that had a dead drive and already have a 120GB drive to throw in.

Thanks

He doesn't.

i updated yesterday, same thing happened, no 30 second skip with the previous sequence. i found, however, the following worked:

S-P-S-3-0-S-P - note the last P.

i got no three beep confirmation, but my skip is back.

HTH · 02-16-2004, 06:40 PM

Back-to-back entry of S-P-S codes don't always take. Separating them by another keypress lets the next code work. I prefer using Clear.

dcadiman · 02-21-2004, 04:40 PM

I tried to activate the backdoor using the 3.0 code, but it did not work. Any suggestions for a v3.1.1 hughes direcTivo box? Also, I was able to activate the 30 second skip and it has become my new best friend. Much better than FF through commercials.

Thanks for all the help on this site.

So, do I understand this correctly? There are no back door codes posted for any of the new software versions, because there is now a hack to generate your own code (of course you now have to hack your own box)?

Hmmm.

You got that backward. Because we have been unable to discover the backdoor codes for the new software versions, there is now a hack to generate your own code.

Obviously it would be better if we could just tell you the default code, but since we don't know it, all we can give is instructions for replacing it.

drosoph · 03-07-2004, 12:54 PM

Ok, I've updated a few of the errors on the tivo.drosoph.com website ... its jsut a graphical list of the base list in this forum .... Please keep me updated of any new codes or errors in the page ..

madmix · 03-07-2004, 11:40 PM

I miss my 30 sec skip. had it with my Hughs directivo but I got the Toshiba so I could record off of cable too. So would this hack work to unlock/create a code to enable the 30 sec skip on my Toshiba? If so, how would one go about implementing the hack?

If not, is there a reasonably priced PVR that will record off of RF/cable (under $500)? I still have a couple of weeks to return the Toshiba. And what are the chances that a software update will "fix" this?

Thanks,

Ken

just got updated last nite and usual sps codes don't work

however, don't put the "p" at the end, put it at the beginning!

they all work that way now [psps30s-psps9s-psps pause s]

Vin,

Which model do you have? Is it the Toshiba SD-H400? I will try the code you discovered.

Thanks,

Ken

Tried the new code... didn't work. Packed up the Toshiba. Back to Best Buy it goes : )

HTH · 03-12-2004, 03:24 PM

You do know S is for Select, P is for Play, and you do them while playing back a recording from Now Playing, and that it isn't something you enter as text into Search by Title, right?
