Almost There. Just a few minutes more... (4.x+RID unit)

[slacker9876]

I am posting this here because I am not sure that it really belongs in the support thread. I have an SD-DVR40 that was previously hacked with the 4.x+RID thread contents. My HDD died so I am going to a stock 40 until I can get a bigger drive.

Since it had been so long I was searching and found the collective details from HUGE and pulled all the files from here, in addition, grabbed the TCD240040 and PTV Tools CD.

All went well without errors yet when I boot I am stranded at Almost There. Just a few minutes more...

I need a good swift kick in the ass but would setlle for some info on what I might have hosed up. Please feel free to let me know if additional info is needed. I am too tired to hit the serial dump tonight and was just curious if this was a quick fixer-upper that others had seen. I found one but his problem was hardware and my factory 40 with 3.1 is running just fine in the unit.

Thanks all!

Can't comment on your specific problem, but....

Why not just let it take the 6.2 upgrade and then hack that with killhdinitrd?

You get your folders, a faster UI, and you can have HMO hacked in also.

Becuase I have to be wireless, and the 6.2 tools do not support 802.11 connectivity.

OK I think I may have found it, but still need a lil help. I am a linux noob (for 9 months now) and can limp around my system just fine in KDE but when I go "command"o I am still pretty fuzzy.

I have pasted the serial dump from teraterm below and highlighted what I would consider the offending entries. It appears that dssapp is not executable despite the chmod +x /tivo/tvbin/dssapp durring the process. Perhaps it is just my fat fingers. I did also note that the path I used "/tivo/tvbin/dssapp" varies from the errored path of "/tvbin/dssapp" yet /tvbin is a sub directory or /tivo on my unit. :rolleyes: Then of course there are the various "is not owner errors."

Either way I could use a shove to get me going. Do I correct this in bash, or should I just reboot with my PTV LBA-48 CD and do it from there. Once I do, whatever it is I do, should the unit now boot OK?

It appears that dssapp is not executable despite the chmod +x /tivo/tvbin/dssapp durring the process. Perhaps it is just my fat fingers. I did also note that the path I used "/tivo/tvbin/dssapp" varies from the errored path of "/tvbin/dssapp" yet /tvbin is a sub directory of /tivo on my unit.

It appears that you're close to solving it. You should be able to fix it from bash.

dssapp belongs in /tvbin.

NOT, in /tivo/tvbin.

/tivo is usually a mount location for your /dev/hdx7 or whatever while hacking. Did you make a directory on /dev/hdx7 called /tivo? You probably just made it while copying.

The proper way is:

Mount your active tivo partition.
Rename the original dssapp to archive it.
cp the hacked/patched dssapp to /tvbin
then chmod it.

So, I'm assuming that you have a /tivo sub-directory created by accident under the mount point that you called /tivo. To test this:

Mount your active tivo partition (/dev/hdx7) to a directory called /tivomount in /mnt like this:

mkdir /mnt/tivomount (Gives you a place to attach your tivo partition and differentiates between your other attempts)

mount /dev/hdx7 /mnt/tivomount (this attaches your tivo partition into the file system at the mount point /tivomount.)

cd to /mnt/tivomount
Do an 'ls' (which now shows you your tivos contents)

You shouldn't see a directory called /tivo. If you do, you've found the problem.

rename your original dssapp
mv /tvbin/dssapp /tvbin/dssapp.original
copy your dssapp to /tvbin
cp /path/to/thepatched/dssapp /mnt/tivomount/tvbin/dssapp
chmod 755 /mnt/tivomount/tvbin/dssapp

You can do an 'ls /tvbin/dssapp*' (without single quotes) to check if the dssapp is copied correctly and chmodded properly.

That should do it.

[Dave20042004]

NutKase,
I have two TCD24004A's and use a backup of TIVO1 for TIVO2.
Each use 4.0.1 killhdinitrd kernels, twp, Superpatch, mfs_ftp, 7.1 no thanks, Upgrade=false, yada yada.. and all hacks work fine.

Both TIVO1 & TIVO2 contain Slackers offending lines:

<snip>
Cleanup /dev/hda9 pass 1
ext2fs_check_if_mount: No such file or directory while determining whether /dev/
hda9 is mounted.
/dev/hda9 was not cleanly unmounted, check forced.
Inode 2063, i_blocks wrong 16 (counted=2). Set i_blocks to counted? yes
<snip>

Neither TIVO1 or TIVO2 contain Slackers offending line:
<snip>
/etc/rc.d/rc.sysinit: /tvbin/dssapp: Permission denied
<snip>
and I don't see the boot problem Slacker does

However, TIVO2 does contain Slackers offending lines:
<snip>
scramblerkey: sn=XXXXSNofTIVO2XX/0D03535365113520/E is not owner=XXXXSNofTIVO1XX .
.
.
No response when asking version info, tried 10 times.
<snip>

My question is, what is causing the scramblerkey line in TIVO2... and... is there a way to get rid of them?

Thanks in advance for your reply!
Dave

<snip>
scramblerkey: sn=XXXXSNofTIVO2XX/0D03535365113520/E is not owner=XXXXSNofTIVO1XX

Did you do a 'clear and delete all' on TIVO2 after hacking it with the backup from TIVO1? If not, you might try that.


NutKase

[Dave20042004]

Thanks NutKase. I'm pretty sure that would take care of it but I was trying to do something a little less drastic and maybe learn something about how this information is stored/used and how I could selectively correct it.
