Hi, guys!
I am a TiVo 2 SA box(named 2.5 nightlight by ADH) in China. My first owner bought me from an USA store, and recorded some clips on me, then, I had been mailed to my second owner in China, but be bad luck, I can't work normally in China, this is my information:
Software version: 5.3-01-2-540
DVR Name: Living Room
TiVo Account Status: 3:Account in good Standing
TiVo Service Level: C:032005
TiVo Service No.: 540-0001-7046-D49D
Model No.: TCD540040
TV Signal Mode in China: PAL-D
AC Voltage: 220V
So, the Second Owner searched DDB/ozTiVo/CanadaTiVo/TiVoCommunity, and found that he must do something like this:
1) he bought a voltage convertor, and let me to be power on:)
2) he must change the tunner to support PAL-D, but ADH mentioned the 2.5box have a BroadCom 7040 Chip that support encoding, he found that the
chip support both PAL and NTSC, so it seems to be NOT necessary to solder a new tuner to instead of the old one. Or maybe the turner not mean the Chip? If the chip means the turner, could the box support the PAL model when he soldered a new Chip?
3)I supposed he had solved the PAL/NTSC problem(maybe need ur helps), now I need some program guides through telnet or ftp or web, so he must hack me now! he found that he maybe program the PROM chip to skip the secure checking, and put a hacked kernel(maybe need killhdinitrd process) into my harddisk. But he isn't sure that wether he cound use an older version (for example 4.0 or 4.1 or 5.1, no 5.3) kernel to be instead of me.
4)Now, I supposed he had changed the PROM, and begin to hack my kernel.
He should need a bootable cd(could he use the Sleeper or others?) to boot from a pc, and connect the TiVo's harddisk to the PC, then execute some scripts(what should he choose? moute, or others?) to change the kernel to killhdinitrd(somebody mentioned killinitrd, but he don't understand what the killinitrd is.) . at last, transfer the kernel that had been hacked to a new harddisk or the original TiVo's disk, and reconnect the harddisk to the TiVo box, should he say yes now?
please help the stupid owner, and thanks!
A sadness TiVo Box !
