Conformation Needed on tivoapp patch

[mrme17k]

This might belong in the newbe forum, if so plz move, and sorry.

I just need to make sure i am doing this correctly before i try again. I tried once, and got stuck in a reboot loop.

I have a dtivo 3.1.1e (3.1.1c kernel) on a DSR704. I have got everything done that i need to but for the tivoapp patch. I tried the noscramble.o, but i get "not for this architecture" when i run it. I tried the patch from alphawolf, and got stuck in a reboot loop. After some fast fingers and restoring a backup i am going to try again, maybe i had a typo, but i just want to make sure....

cp /tvbin/tivoapp /tvbin/tivoapp.bak (makin a backup. Saved me last time)

cp /tvbin/tivoapp /tvbin/tivoapp.tmp (makin a tmp file to patch)

echo -ne "\x3C\x02\x00\x00" | dd conv=notrunc of=tivoapp.tmp bs=1 seek=6495772 (patchin' tivoapp)

rm -rf /tvbin/tivoapp (removin uppatched tivoapp)

cp /tivobin/tivoapp.tmp /tvbin/tivoapp (placing new patched tivoapp)

chmod 755 /tvbin/tivoapp (setting permissions)

then restart it.

I am pretty sure this is what i did last time, but i could have messed something up. Does this look correct? From searching, it does to me, i guess i just need that warm fuzzy feeling.

thanks for all the help

echo -ne "\x3C\x02\x00\x00" | dd conv=notrunc of=tivoapp.tmp bs=1 seek=6495772 (patchin' tivoapp)The seek point you are using, according to AW's thread is for software version 3.1.1c, and you stated that you are running 3.1.1e. Tivoapp version is equivalent to your software version, not your kernel.

Tivoapp 3.1.1e = 3.1.1d, so use the offsets posted in the thread for 3.1.1d.
