CPIO Help

[albogado]

Hello,
I am following IRONMAN's guide and I'm trying to get tar, ls and other tools on the tivo via telnet using the following method:

cd /var/hack/bin
cpio -idu -H tar < ../devbin-s2.tar

Once I enter the cpio command I get the following error:

cpio: invalid header: invalid checksum

Could someone please help me get the tools I need onto the box? Thanks!

More information is needed.

How did you get the tar file to the tivo?

If you used FTP, did you make sure to transfer in binary mode?

I think guide support questions are supposed to stay in the guide's support thread...

I used FTP and I make sure to use BINARY mode. Thanks for the reply
