Cannot FTP and other issues after 6.2 upgrade

[Unimatrix Zero]

Hopefully someone can help me with my problem. Today I upgraded the software on a previously-hacked Samsung SIR-S4120R to version 6.2 using the guide on this page (http://www.dellanave.com/projects/tivo/62slices.html). I didn't hack this box originally, but the tools were located in /busybox/ and the hacks were in /hacks/. I followed all of the instructions in the guide, and used a pre-hacked kernel from this disc (http://partners.ptvupgrade.com/z/35/CD45/).

The system rebooted fine, and the software seems to be working fine, but I am unable to complete the steps in the guide because I can no longer FTP to the TiVo. I *can* Telnet and get a bash prompt, but simple commands such as "ls" seem to be missing. I can't upload the required files to complete the upgrade because of the lack of FTP access.

Is there any way I can fix whatever I messed up (I don't know what, since I believe I followed the guide exactly) so I can regain FTP access?

UPDATE: Seems I can still use TyTool to transfer recorded programs, so my situation isn't as dire as I first thought, though I'm sure I am missing something by not having FTP access or common Linux binaries such as LS.

Well, Dave Dellanave wrote the guide. Have you considered asking him for help? Guides aren't too popular around here for just this reason.

It appears you never installed the utilities into the new root partition. If you KNOW where you had saved the .tar file you can unpack it to the proper directory. Alternatively, you can mount the old root partition on /install and copy the /busybox directory to the new root. Don't forget to use the -Rfpd switches or you'll fill your root partition with copies of busybox.

Probably the best solution would be to pull the drive, download the latest version of AlphaWolf's tivotools and install it.

Thank you for your help! The busybox directory wasn't copied over like you said. In the guide I mentioned they called the directory something else, so I missed the step in copying it. Now everything is working like a charm. Thanks again!
