BlissTerPopper v1

[JJBliss]

Well, it's time for my next contribution to the DTivo community.

For all you lazy types who want to upgrade to 3.1 using KRavEN's upgrade (31Tivolater), but can't figure out how to load the modules yourself, or don't want to be bothered hacking your DTivo for fun, this release is in the spirit of all the other hand holding releases.

Readme is below:
--------------------------------



BlissTerPopper v1.2 by JJBliss for 3.1 Tivolater
-------------------------------------

The zip should contain 3 files:

BlissTerPopper.cpio.gz : has all the files
BlissTerPopper.sh : installer script
BlissTerPopper.txt : you're reading it


Info:
---------------

This 31Tivolater module will perform the most important steps. I cannot take credit for all the modifications. Some are my work, others are the work of KRavEN, dtype, AlphaWolf, SuperZap, mrblack51 and others.

This module will install everything you need, so you don't have to "touch" your DTivo again. This will enable the remaining functionality that most folks are looking for in their DTivo.

This module is for those people looking for the easy way out. This module is ONLY intended for use IMMEDIATLEY after applying KRavEN's 31Tivolater. Files are setup as if they never existed before.

After loading BlissTerPopper and rebooting:

1) you will not have to worry about log files overrunning your machine,
2) no need for a phone line draped across the floor if no phone jack is close
3) full access to all showcases and tivolution magazine
4) you can use your old DOS commands (in BASH & Telnet)
5) you can schedule commands in the future without cycle wasting looping scripts

You will still need to either subscribe to Directv's DVR service, or figure out some other way to get the DVR tier on your access card.


If you have already loaded cron, loaded the DosAliases module or fixsub, this module IS NOT FOR YOU. This is a companion module to 31Tivolater.

As a side effect, this module will repair the cron module from 31Tivolater and repair the fixsub module from 31Tivolater.


To Install:
-----------

Extract the files

type rmrw to remount root readwrite

send over to the TiVo in your favorite way.

All files MUST go in /

Once the files are over chmod +x BlissTerPopper.sh

Then ./BlissTerPopper.sh

Once it is done you can rm the files you copied over

finally type rmro to sync and remount root readonly

type reboot


---------------------

EDIT:

I found a few bugs, newer software, and better methods for some of the hacks.

Look further down in this thread for updates, or click here (http://www.dealdatabase.com/forum/showthread.php?s=&postid=83563#post83563) and you'll go right to it.

Thanks for looking at it.

JJ Bliss

--------------------



EDIT - 01/10/2004:
It's come to my attention that some unscrupulous folks have been using this utility exclusivley to use outdated DTV Access Cards. There is no longer any legitimate reason to use an HU card to view DirecTv programming. When BlissTerPopper was originally conceived, it was meant as a learning tool to assist hackers who wanted to play with the new >3.0 slice files, before they got their new P4 card. It was NOT meant to be used as a tool to steal.

For this reason, I am removing all occurences of BlissTerPopper from this forum, and will be re-issuing a new version of BlissTerPopper that will do all the same things EXCEPT for the HU card modification.

The thread containing questions and answers about all versions of BlissTerPopper will remain here indefinitely, however, the actual code that was abused will no longer be available. At this time, I am still a moderator of this form. If ANYONE PMs me to ask for the original file or code, you will be permanently banned immediately. No questions asked, no discussions.

I will be posting the upgraded code back in this thread.

Until that time, this thread is LOCKED and will not reopen until the code has been updated.

Thank you all.

JJ Bliss


EDIT: 01/30/2004
BlissTerPopper has been updated to version 1.2. It no longer tends to the P4 limitation. All other functionality of BlissTerPopper remains --Thread has been reopened.

What's the chance of having a version that works with xtreme upgrade - V3.1.0 w/xPlusz by superzap, AlphaWolf?

Pretty slim. I don't have any units upgraded with that method, so it's hard to write and test. In fact, there is no particular reason why it WON'T work with that upgrade path, it just has not been tested.

If your willing, give it a shot. I don't kow how it will react with xplusz, or the way SuperZap did his upgrade.

JJ

[JJBliss]

Maybe this is all you 'll need. I created the script from information posted by KRavEN a while ago.

Look for the basis of this script here (http://www.dealdatabase.com/forum/showthread.php?s=&postid=79859&highlight=mount+boot299.btl+old#post79859)


It's part of BlissTerPopper, but that all may be overkill.

JJ


Download the file copy299.zip
extract the file copy299.tcl
transfer copy299.tcl to your tivo / (root directory)
chmod +x copy299.tcl
run /copy299.tcl
reboot

you should be fine.

edit: Updated script to handle the remount rw for those of you have left it read only.

If you are one of the two folks who downloaded it before I changed it, just do a rmrw before running it.

Can you really mount two devs to the same mount point? And won't you have to remount root as rw first?

[JJBliss]

Well, yeah. (duh) - i forgot to rmrw first..... :rolleyes:

I'll fix the script to add the rw capability.

But you can mount both partitions at the same time. Works fine. We're not mounting to the same point, it mounts the second dev to /old


JJ

[JimBliss]

I installed Kraven's 3.1.0 update, and then installed this program, then I installed ftp://ftp.twinbrothers.com/xplusz310.zip and answered no anything I thought would mess up BlissTerPopper. But now when I do ps -ax I see

147 ? S 0:00 /hack/bin/xPlusz/cron

Does this mean I messed it up?

JJ

Not in the ver I saw.

mkdir /old
mount /dev/hda4 /old
mount /dev/hda7 /old

[JJBliss]

BubbleLamp,

The two mount commands you see are to avoid a conflict.

Since I can't know which partition someone is running off of, I mount both. The one already in use will fail with no adverse effects, then the other will mount properly.

The reboot, of course, clears up any anamolies.


In my testing, i tried different ways of testing to find out which of the two were already mounted. I found that not everyone was always on /dev/hda4 or always on /dev/hda7.

If I could learn how to guarentee the already mounted partition I would add code to select the alternate one, but I can't see the need for that overhead, when it works fine like that.

Do you agree? If not, can you help with some method to identify which partition is already mounted (like the mount command alone with no parameters) , and use that somehow to define the next step in tcl ?

Thanks for pointing out a potential problem, though.

Got ya, good idea. I never ran this myself, was just pointing out what looked like a flaw in the script. Now I see the logic of it.

Hmm.

Interesting.

BlissTerPopper definitley adds cron, but out of the /bin directory,

As long as you did BlissTerPopper first, you're fine. SuperZaps stuff will override all my "hack" settings, like fixsb31 and cron logsnull etc.. because our crontab files will be different, or at least mine will be overwritten. but won't affect the HU card stuff.

I don't have XPlusZ and have no knowledge of how it works, but it seems that if you really answered no to everything A) you don't really need it, and B) I guess he loads his own cron for scheduling things in the future, just like I did.

I think you're OK. But, as I always point out, why don't you try it, to see if you "messed up", before asking?


Test it out

JJ

[JJBliss]

Just a reminder.

This little package is to help folks who DON'T WANT to hack there Tivo's by hand, installing all the hacks themselves.

If you're adding XPlusZ, and doing other cool hacks to your tivo, theres a good chance you don't realy need BlissTerPopper. SuperZap's proggy is intended for the same audience.

Many of the hacks do similar stuff, and almost all use scripted methods that have been openly discussed on this and other great sites.

I thought that the main reason folks might want BlissTerPopper was for the partition copy, so if you see, I made that copy script after the fact to avoid overkill

Just pointing it out....

Ok, I guess that link was a smartass comment to read the thread. Well, I have read the thread and it was never answered, and I quote "Maybe this is all you 'll need. I created the script from information posted by KRavEN a while ago" Notice the use of the word MAYBE. The question was never answered and then there was a discussion of mount points, thats it. All I want to know is if it will work with Xtreme3.1? Yes or No, thats all. Thanks.

No, that link was a link to a specific post that answered your question.

I pointed you to a place where you could specifically answer your questions as OPPOSED to giving you a smartass comment.

I also beleive that I answered the question in this thread.

So, the quote that you pulled out "Maybe this is all you 'll need. I created the script from information posted by KRavEN a while ago" Notice the use of the word MAYBE. " is for the copy299.tcl file, not the entire BlissTerPopper package.

Your simple message "so does this work with Xtreme3.1? " was unclear. Apparently, you were referring to the copy script and NOT BlissTerPopper.

I'm sorry that you did not take the time to make yourself clear. However, the tone in your response was nasty. Where do you come off to ask for a .."Yes or No, thats all". I don't even know that I care to help people like you.

Since you were short with me on both occasions, then No. It won't work. Figure it out on your own.

For others who may also care to ask more polite questions, the answer is still the same. I have not tested it on SuperZaps upgrade. I don't have any units upgraded with that method, so it's hard to write and test. In fact, there is no particular reason why it WON'T work with that upgrade path, it just has not been tested.

If your willing, give it a shot. I don't kow how it will react with xplusz, or the way SuperZap did his upgrade.

YMMV

JJ,

Can I still use mvchannels after BlissTerPopper? If so, any special instructions? I'm getting some new locals in my spot beam in the next few months so I thought I'd ask for the future.

Thanks in advance,

There is no reason why not. BlissTerPopper automates the setup and installation of cron. If you need to run mvchannels, it's kinda a hog on resources in it's looping mode. I recommend running it in cron.

The crontab file that you need to edit is /etc/crontab. Edit that file, and add mvchannels running once every 5 minutes should be fine. If you need additional info on cron, it's widely available on the web, or on this forum.

[JJBliss]

Awwww......... Hell......

I just found a relatively big bug in BlissTerPopper v.1

I will post a replacement crontab file that will overwrite the one that I place in /etc

You can 'rmrw' (remount read/write) the drive, delete the original /etc/crontab file, then copy this new one into the /etc directory then reboot

-OR-

you can just modify one line:

In the crontab file that was in BlissTerPopper v.1 the line that needs to be changed is FROM:


* 3 * * * /tvbin/fixsub31.tcl &


to


01 3 * * * /tvbin/fixsub31.tcl &


then reboot.

I just noticed that the prior setting in crontab runs the fixsub31.tcl file 60 times in the 3am hour. This CONSTANT running hammers the EventSwitcher. This isn't a big deal, but after a few days of this, tcl files wont run - therefore, fixsub31.tcl wont run and you'll get the dial-in nag in 30 days.

It seems that it uses up A LOT of available resources.

It's not destructive, and if you reboot anytime in 30 days, you'll start from scratch and be fine for a number of days until the EventSwitcher dies again.

You'll be fine with the new timing in crontab.

Let me know if it works out.

I've attached the crontab file just in case you need it. I will be releasing a new version of BlissTerPopper with some bug fixes and leaner code in the next few days.

[JJBliss]

Damn......................

[JJBliss]

Too........ Tired........ To....... Be...... Posting.......

This time I mean it.....

[JJBliss]

OK.

I couldn't sleep knowing it was broken.

Here's the new BlissTerPopper v1.1

I'm using a new method from AlphaWolf in the .sh file, a new crontab that should keep things working, and the latest sc.tcl from PGM for Showcases and Tivolution magazine.

Eveything should work just dandy. Please let me know if you have any problems or find any bugs


I've also set up a link from the main post to this post.

[Smokerman]

OK, first off let it be known I am an extreme newbie @ all this. I have a Phillips DSRR6000 (untouched minus the HU card). I am currently @ 3.1 update and want to be able to use my HU card in my Tivo....as you all know it wont work right now. I have been reading and reading now and am a little confused on a few things so I thought maybe some of you guys might help out a rookie :)

This blisterpopper sounds great for what I need but after d/l ing and reading it, it sounds greek to me ( i.e.

type rmrw to remount root readwrite Lost me here

send over to the TiVo in your favorite way.

All files MUST go in / --> Here too

Once the files are over chmod +x BlissTerPopper.sh --> Yep, here too & all the rest :)
Then ./BlissTerPopper.sh

Once it is done you can rm the files you copied over

finally type rmro to sync and remount root readonly

type reboot


Can you give me the newbie instructions.....
I know the big thing here is to read first, and so I did. I just never found the answer. I am pretty sure I need to load Xtreme or something (or does 31Tivolater take its place) before I can use Blisterpooper

Any and all help is MUCH appreciated......

Errr.....

this indicates that you should type
rmrw
this will mount the drive as read/write


send over to the TiVo in your favorite way.

whoooa, do you hav a lote of reading to do.....

"/" is the root directory of a linux machine. I assume by this point in your questioning, that you don't know the first thing about linux. That's generally OK, but you'll need to read all the basic DTivo hacking stuff before you go diving into something like BlissTerPopper.


Once the files are over chmod +x BlissTerPopper.sh --> Yep, here too & all the rest :)
Then ./BlissTerPopper.sh


Well, by this point, I had no doubt you'd still be a little lost.

BLISTERPOOPER!?!?! That's a new one.....

Dude... your best bet is the DTivo Hacking FAQ by Captain_Video. It's at the top of the forum in a sticky. Start there. You also might want to check out the newbie forum, and also read Hinsdales How-To as a basic primer (available at www.tivostuff.com )

The long and the short of it is you are waaaaaay far away from using BlissTerPopper. You need a substantial amount of reading still, and most importantly (as it says in the readme) install 31Tivolater. 31Tivolater is an upgrade to 25Xtreme. BlissTerPopper is a companion utility for 31Tivolater (just like it says in the readme).

A very short list of things to do (reading and learning a little about what your trying to do notwithstanding)

1) Install 25Xtreme
2) Install 31Tivolater
3) Install BlissTerPopper

Just a nudge in the right directions.....

JJ

[Smokerman]

BLISTERPOOPER!?!?! That's a new one.....


You say popper I say pooper .....(Where is spell check when ya need it...lol)

Well, now I know what I have to do. I just wasn't sure if I had to install 25Xtreme since I was already @ 3.1. Anyway, when I said I had been doing alot of reading it was on what do to do....not the how to part yet. I just wanted to make sure I was heading in the right direction before I started this.

With that said....thanks for your post and help...... Much appreciated!!!

I installed BlissTerPopper v1 and had it working. Then I installed xPlusz v3.10. Since then only the HU card part works. It has to dial seems like every 30 days, and about once a week installs 3.1 Maybe this v1.1 will fix this, I hope so. When I installed zPlusz I skip the parts that would mess with what BlissTerPopper did. I'd like to not start from scatch again. Also my DDS62K doesn't like a reboot, it just loops, a cold boot install start up. Anyways I'll post my results. Thanks:)

DDS62K ? Is that a DSR6000 ?

You should have no problem installing XplusZ on top of any version of BlissTerPopper. 1.1 only fixes a bug that excacerbates the EventSwitcher bug in 3.1, updates the Showcases (now out of date anyway) and handles the HU fix in a different way.

You should install XPlusZ the normal full way.

Once you installed XPlusZ, you effectivley eliminate all the "other" mods done by BTP, except for the HU fix. You'll need to activate every hack you want in XPlusZ via the remote. Did you activate NOPHONE?

It installs 3.1 once a week ?!?!?! I have no idea what that's about... Can you explain that further?

[DSSMigs]

JJBliss... was your last post edited by you or one of the moderators...? I subscribed to this particualr thread and got an email earlier this morning informing me that there had been a new reply from you. I could've swore that you had mentioned a little bit more information about particular tiers and DVR info but I don't see it anymore. I'm guessing the moderators felt it was "inappropriate" and deleted that into.

If my last post WAS edited (which it wasn't) there would have been an indication in the post that it was edited, and by whom.

I would never discuss topics such as specific tiers and/or DVR info on this forum, as it is inappropriate.

The post above is exactly as I left it.

[DSSMigs]

Sorry about that JJBliss, that would seem very out of character for you to do such a thing on here as I know it is forbidden and frowned upon. Guess I got confused and read about all that on another post from another site. Please accept my apologies.

Well, since it was written SPECIFICALLY for 3.1 Tivolater, it would be quite easy to infer that the answer was no, but since it might be harder than I think...

No, BlissTerPopper does not work with any Series 2 DTivo's.

[Psydork]

So I just finsihed rebuilding my T60, and BlissTerPopper doesnt appear to have worked completely...

I loaded 2.5 extreme, immediately loaded 3.1 TivoLater v2 and then loaded BlissTerPopper v1.1

When I try to force a test call after rebooting, it fails because of no dialtone.

Looking at the crontab, I see the /tvbin/fixsub31.tcl & line, and even if I go and fire that off by hand, it still fails.

Have I missed something completely obvious???

TIA!!

I guess I spoke too soon... Appears that fixsub works differently now??? It says the last successful call was from like 20 minutes ago, so I am guessing that when the program is initiated, it just updates that, but that actual 'Test Calls' and 'Daily Calls' from within the menus on the Tivo appear to fail???

Hi.. I'm a tivo newb.. just got my DSR7000 today. I've done lots of reading and searching.. and basically was putting all my eggs in one basket with blisterpopper.. So are there any plans on having blisterpopper (not pooper) work with S2? Or can you point me to any progs that work like blisterpopper - and work with S2?

Thanks

Well, since you already know that BlissTerPopper doesn't work on Series 2 units, you've already gotten a lot of your answers.

At this point Series 2 DTivos require a little more time and investment to hack them. Most of the folks here have purposefully not publically released any "automation tools" . If anyone WERE to release a scripted assistance tool, it would most probably be for 3.1.u5 and that is a very limited scope.

Everything that BlissTerPopper did for you with S1 DTivo's can be accomplished by hand with information very publically available.

There is a lot to learn with the S2s. Start reading, and you'll figure it out in no time.

[JimBliss]

I know I've done this before I did it in bash somehow but I forget how. I'm setting up 3 DSR6000 from ebay for friends. I want to force either cron or whatever this app does to get fake the phone call.

thanks:)

Never mind I figured it out

[FastGM3]

I'm not sure if this is a BlissTer problem or not. I have a Hughes S1 DTivo. Loaded with X25, 31Tivolater and Blisster 1.1.

Intially BlissTer fixed my call home and HU card, Thank You! However, I had the dreaded Hardware error to which from what I've read I needed to do a system delete. Then I got hung up at 28% on the SAT setup and I read to disconnect the Antenna.

But my final problem, I can't find in this forum. My HU is still working but I'm not faking the call home. So I reloaded BlissTER with no luck. I have a BASH, just looking to fix the call home thing to be able to record.

Any Ideas? TIA

Intially BlissTer fixed my call home and HU card, Thank You! However, I had the dreaded Hardware error to which from what I've read I needed to do a system delete. Then I got hung up at 28% on the SAT setup and I read to disconnect the Antenna.

But my final problem, I can't find in this forum. My HU is still working but I'm not faking the call home. So I reloaded BlissTER with no luck. I have a BASH, just looking to fix the call home thing to be able to record.

Any Ideas? TIA

Lesse..
1) Running BlissTerPopper twice isn't really a good thing.
2) WHAT ANTENNA ?
3) If you just want to make the call to get over the nag, you can try to type fixsub31.tcl at a bash prompt, and it should force it for you
4) Do you have the DVR tier on your Access Card ? If not, that is why you can't record. I assume you do, because you said it worked before

Kind of figured as much, at least I didn;t go for three.

2) WHAT ANTENNA ?

SAT 1 hook up. After a I cleaned my system it takes through a SAT setup if you leave the SAT hooked up it locks up at 28%. I'm sure you knew that except I said ANT and meant SAT

3) If you just want to make the call to get over the nag, you can try to type fixsub31.tcl at a bash prompt, and it should force it for you

Where is it at, I have a fixsub.tcl in /var/hack and it errors out when I attempted to run it.

4) Do you have the DVR tier on your Access Card ? If not, that is why you can't record. I assume you do, because you said it worked before.

NOT sure about DVR tier I use an illegally programmed access card.

JJ your the man fixsub31.tcl which I found in the /tvbin dir worked like a charm.

Thank You!

My tivo just when severe error on me. Anyways I will need to reinstall again. I would like to use blisterpopper with the latest 3.1.0c2 and a hard drive larger than 137 gb. Does anyone know if this is possilble or would they recommend going a different route. I liked blisterpoppers simplicity. The only hack I need is to not have to phone in. I would like to have the tivo be as responsive as possible with about 300 gb of capacity.

What are you trying to use BlissTerPopper for? It's an outdated program that no longer has any practical use. It was only designed to allow S1 DTivos with OS version 3.1 to work with an Hu card and that boat sailed a long time ago.

It has been quite a while since I had to mess with my tivo but anyways I was trying to recall what I did. Anyways I seem to remember thinking at the time that xplus seemed bloated for some reason. I just wanted something that was simple and most responsive. I thought that blisterpopper would have the features that I am looking for today such as no phone in / delete logs. I was just hoping somehow that I could use it 3.1.0c2.

Thanks for releasing it anyways.... I used it at the time and it worked great for everything I needed. I was just hoping that it could still work today with lba48 and all. I might consider going with 2.52. I really just want what ever will make my old beast work the smoothest.

Thanks again... seems like I need to make notes what I do cause 2 years later I forget everything.
