What are the standard transfer rates for MRV on a Wireless connection?
1 hour for 10 minutes seems really slow...... It took 3 hours to transfer a 30 minute show from on DTivo to another...

That sounds like a USB1.1 speed. I'm currently doing around .75 megs/sec when I use that Ty-you-know-what proggy.

Using a 802.11g wireless ethernet bridge, I can MRV a 1 hour show in about 10 minutes between by two zippered SD Tivo's.

A little short of success on my SD-40 with 250 gig. Burned the ISO with correct settings, but saw an "error" during installation using the ISO disc. I scrolled back to see the specifics, but it was no longer listed. With the most recent updated 6.2 sofware on the Tivo HD and the $5.00 "DD" disc, I went through the boot-up into the second boot and have tv, but no serial bash and no network. I noticed a couple errors via serial on Hyperterminal on the laptop.
First was "FakeCall for Version 6.2-01-2-351 is not supported.c.sysinit"
Second "Insmod: /lib/modules/usbcore.o" No such file or directory"
I thought there was another usb error but wasn't diplayed at scroll back. I hope this helps "fine-tune" things a little with possible problems with others. Let me know your thoughts....

Help Anyone !!!
I just re ran the zipper script on my dsr704 to change some settings, i uninstalled the previous version, deleted the unpatched app it was asking about to save room, then went to re install like normal and i get stuck when its trying to download the latest enhancement script from mastersav.com. The error I recieve is
Downloading latest Enhancement script...
wget: www.mastersav.com: Host name lookup failure
Download failed. Adjust DNS and try again? [y/n]: y
Setting DNS settings in /etc/resolv.conf...
Done. Please re-run tweak.sh. Exiting...
rm: /enhancements: No such file or directory
Daves Tivo-bash#
And it keeps going round and round
1. Is there a way to run the script without the download IE. like the original install?
Thanks |

2nd Boot reboot loop
I've gone through the posts over the last few weeks, and thought I'd be all set. I got a "fresh" image from Instant Cake. And added the image (000001) to their $5 ptvlba disk and the zipper, superpatch and MRV.
The zipper ran fine and I installed the new drive into the Tivo (HR10-250). The first boot went fine and it alerted me that it was booting again to set the network settings. However, the next boot sits at the boot window, the record light goes red, and then the device reboots. It just does this over and over.
So I assume I need to try to recopy the image onto the new drive, but I want to confirm I have the right image file. I downloaded the "special image 1.2" from instant cake. I hope that's the right image to have? Did I get the incorrect one for the 10-250?
ICAKE-S2DT-HD InstantCake for Series2 HDTV DirecTiVo Units (3.1.5f)
VERSION: SLICABLE
Can someone confirm that the correct image size is 168,583,168 bytes?
I can not find anywhere in the IC forums if the image sizes are listed.  Any guidance would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance!

The instantcake iso itself should be 172,418 KB - it's now shown on the Zipper instructions. If the same thing happens again, run Instantcake sans Zipper and see if it boots.

Sounds like you entered the wrong service number. You should have entered 357. The Zipper only looks for a usb.map file if your tivo is not an hr10-250. This would also explain why your network connection doesnt come up.

Yes. Extract the rbautch_files.tgz archive from the zipper download, and FTP it to your tivo in the same directory as tweak.sh. Then tweak.sh will recognize it's there, and will skip the download.

This is not good. As long as you have a serial cable, tap the enter key a few times to get a serial bash prompt. Then navigate to /lib/modules, and make sure usbcore.o is there. If not, run the zipper again, but before you take the drive out of your pc, navigate to /lib/modules, and make sure usbcore.o is there. Use a different terminal emulator (like tera term) and capture your entire serial console ouput. What boot disk are you using?

Thanks rbautch! I'm going to try your new Zipper tonight. My IC ISO is the size you've indicated in your post.
I tried to be brief in my first post, but I should have added I tried the instantcake cd alone. Unfortunately I cannot move around the pri and sec IDE to match the exact setup IC requires (not much flexibility in their process). Trying to use an old system to make the new drive.

If you have an IC cd, you can extract the tivo image from it and use the free mfstools boot disk from weaknees to copy it to your drive. Look in your IC cd in the images folder and theres the file "000001" required by the zipper. Rename it backup.bak and burn it to a cd. Check the weaknees interactive upgrade info here : http://tivo.upgrade-instructions.com/index.php for restoring a backup. IIRC the command should be : mount /dev/hdX /mnt
then : mfsrestore -s 127 -r 4 -xzpi /mnt/backup.bak /dev/hdZ
hdX being the location of your cdrom drive and hdZ being the target tivo drive
This way you won't have to move around the IDE cables. Tried this a while back and it worked fine. Hope this helps

The 357 service number did the trick to get my Netgear FA120 working great, and I was up and running and applied the rest of the Zipper enhancements. Then suddenly after applying "The Slicer" to upgrade to 6.3-01-2-357 suddenly my Netgear adapter stopped working :-( Now I'm back to no network again. I'm attempting to make a serial cable with a male db9 end and 1/8 inch stereo plug while using Cat5 as my cable. But how do I restore my Netgear FA120?
Help..stuck again
Thx

Both DTivos have DWL-122's in them.... Transferring from one to the other took 3 hours for a 30 minute program.....

Rerun the zipper again, then look for 6.3a slice, not just 6.3 I never could get the6.3a slice to show up after initial install of zipper, tried it 10 times. Of course the instructions have changed in the last few days so maybe they will show up now. Last week I had to ftp the add63 file over to my tivo and run it to get the 6.3a slices the following morning.
I have installed the 6.3a ( about 6 times ) but have since rerun zipper and stayed with 3.1f for now. tytools does't like 6.3a if you're interested in that kind of stuff. and with the audio issues I read about I figure I'll play with 3.1f and wait for 6.3b....hopefully.
Of course this is just my opinion (for all you bashers out there)

rbautch,
thank you for your attention to my problem.
I'm using the PTV enhanced boot-disc, USB200M and supposedly all necessary files after burning ISO image. Noiticing errors during the script running, I found that the CD may not have burned properly and burned a new one. Still no serial bash, no activity on USB200M and noticing "no such directory" via serial on laptop during tivo boot-up. I will remount the Tivo drive into the pc and look for /modules.

Things seem to get better each time I run the Zipper.
Now, after a manual restart of the Tivo, I have activity on the USB200M.
It also appears I have a bash propt via serial, but it's asking for a password, and the Tivo is waiting for it, before booting..... I've seem it in the forums but due to my excitement, I can't remember it... anyone know the password?

Don't hit the enter key so soon. Wait for it to boot and then hit enter to get the bash prompt.

What's odd is, I didn't hit any keys. And prior to this; didn't have a bash prompt. Even if I unplug the USB200M from the usb port and reboot the tivo, it stops there and won't pass the "what is the password" prompt via serial bash....
does this odd stuff only happen to me? Like someone drive 10 under the limit in front of you....

She's up and running.
Ran the Zipper once more to change network settings and the rest fell into place. It would appear that the only errors with the Zipper, were my errors.
In one word guys, Un- ******* Believeable ! Thank you, for all your efforts and support.
I will continue to read, learn and help in this hobby thanks to the efforts of all here.

Both are zippered SD DirecTivo's connected to NetGear FA120 USB to Ethernet adapters. One is connected thru a 100 Mbit hub and a Airport Express (802.11g) and the other is connected thru a Zyxel P330W 802.11g router/bridge. I'm using the USB drivers installed by the Zipper from 6 months ago.

I just Zippered the D-tivo (HNS SD-40) With 250gig HD. But I'm not getting the serial bash prompt again. I'm also using the Zyxel P330W (I have 2, nice little cheap wifi-routers) and for now the USB200M wired adapter.
I also have a HR10-250, HD-tivo with a 300gig upgrade which will get zippered soon.
Now, I have to read about decrypting, transferring and burning....

cheddarspaz2, You are using two routers to communicate with each other? How did you configure that set up ? I am trying to find a cost effective method for setting up my two d tivos wirelessly, the damn bridges are almost 90 bux a pop.

Check out the Zyxel P330W mentioned previously. They can be found cheap (~$30 or so) and they can be configured to communicate with each other very simply by setting one to AP mode and the other to client mode. They work as a wireless bridge right out of the box with compatible wired adapters.

Sorry about the confusion. Since they were cheap, I bought two, and have a 3rd made by "ViewSonic" another cheap but very nice router. I use one with Broadband, and the others I experiment with. Use as print server aside from the normal network... just extras.

I also saw these Zyxel routers in a weekly sale ad for $9.00 after rebate at CompUsa.
