HR10-250 Rebooting randomly over last 2 Weeks

[bfrank4709]

[geordi]

Ok, I'm not alone. And neither are you. I'm getting EXACTLY the same errors, and changing out the power supply solved exactly NOTHING. Blarg.

Also, in addition to either rebooting about every couple of hours to less than 30 minutes apart... Pressing buttons on the remote ALSO seems to irritate it and make it crash. Lovely.

Here are my logs:

same here, started this afternoon during the early game. reboots occur between 30 - 85 minutes apart. log shows the same errors. I"m on version 6.3d, and have been running without problems for over 3 months, now this. It does not matter the source, OTA or DTV the reboots continue.

It does not matter the source, OTA or DTV the reboots continue.Are you guys in the Indianapolis area by chance? I had 4 reboots today while watching/recording the Colts OTA 8-1 CBS and NASCAR OTA 6-1 NBC. Finally after the colts game was over on 8-1 CBS and the unit rebooted during the post game show I changed from 8-1 CBS to 59-1 FOX to watch another game, no reboots since. I talked to a friend a few minutes ago and he had the reboots while watching the Colts game so I think it might be something with OTA 8-1 CBS. My other two TiVo units did not reboot, no tuners on the other units were tunned to channel 8-1, this leads me to think it's 8-1 CBS.

[vega]

I'm in Buffalo NY, OTA or DTV nets reboots, and the time between is down to 10 minutes .........

[geordi]

No luck with me, I'm not in that area (I'm in Savannah Ga) and don't use OTA anyway. I have national access to the big networks.

[geordi]

Sounds to me like Dave is up to something again, putting buggy data into the stream to get us to call in and kvetch so he can "upgrade" us to non-hackable HR20s. Yea... Not gonna do it. Too many of us in different areas, ALL with the same problem all of a sudden.... Smells.

I don't know about anyone else's units, but I'm not using the HDMI, I'm only using component out. No reboots since I posted my log, but I have the tivo extracting all the shows off of it and it's in "standby" so the video processes aren't active. Looks like that is keeping it online for the moment. Why would it have loaded new programming however, if the upgradesoftware=false is set? I can't go to the setting screen right this second, but IIRC, the box is only running 6.3c.

[ronnythunder]

i'm not in indianapolis nor buffalo, and mine's doing it as well. rebooted at least three times. it's gotta be something coming down in the stream; i'm running 6.3b i think, maybe c.

i sure hope this gets fixed soon.

ronny

[Antdog24]

I'm in NJ and it seems to be every 30 minutes. I'm watching regular HD not OTA.... this is pretty annoying, I'm thinking of wiping and redoing the HD. Maybe DTV is trying to force us to go to 6.3c?

[Antdog24]

I mean 6.3e

[geordi]

Couldn't tell you, the last time I was having random problems, it was that the box was selectively "forgetting" that the cardslot was there, and was telling me that I didn't have a card inserted. Then it bricked 2 cards over the course of 3 months (probably continuously reading and writing to them until they were fried) and after a C&DE... Was perfectly fine until the last few days. I REALLY wish Dave would stop screwing around with my tivo.

[vega]

look like this is widespread, must be something in the signal from DTV.

[100Tbps]

The common factor seems to be CBS. Mine rebooted in Atlanta from the OTA signal during the Colts game, which by the way was heavily pixelated at times. I was wondering of the thinning trees was affecting the signal, but saw this thread and am now doubtful about that theory.

I also noticed a show recorded last Friday night on CBS in primetime did this, too.

Thanks goodness for this ... My wife was pissed the new endpadplus I *tried* installing this quiet Sunday AM hosed everything up. Perhaps not. :)

HR10-250 running 6.3c.

[bfrank4709]

If it turns out that we need to upgrade to 6.3e I doubt mine will stay up long enough to download the slices.

[geordi]

Just rebooted AGAIN, while NOT viewing any programming, and OF COURSE in the middle of a recording. Thanks Dave, Stop screwing with my Tivo!

It downloaded 5 files successfully, and borked in the middle of the 6th. But without me inducing ANY activity on the box at that point, it has to be something in the stream.

What software are y'all running? I'm at 6.3c with 6.3e sitting in MFS... I'm wondering if somehow they are sending a tivoapp status check and it isn't finding the version it wants, so it triggers a reboot cycle.

[geordi]

I'm REALLY getting tired of having to download my TV programs from BitTorrent. Now I have to do it again, and it looks like this rebooting thing has been happening from at least as early as Friday.

[geordi]

I think there might be something to the idea that this is from CBS...

I just did some checking, and the oldest program I have that is borked with a reboot in the middle is an ep of Kid Nation that I grabbed just to see what all the fuss is about. That was Wednesday, and it rebooted in the middle. Friday it hosed Stargate Atlantis, b/c it was also recording Numb3rs on the HD East CBS feed... Amazingly, Thursday was NOT screwed up at all... I don't record CBS on Saturday, and here we are today.

So who knows, and I certainly don't know who to complain to, b/c we all know how amazingly smart the CSRs are at Dave.:rolleyes:

[bfrank4709]

I turned the tuners on 1 of my dvrs to 2 standard def channels and put it on stanby. It hasn't rebooted in a couple of hours since. The other 1 is on CBS HD OTA and has rebooted 3 times this hour. I have another 1 that is unhacked and has 6.3e. It has been on CBS HD OTA all day with no reboots.

[geordi]

Hmm. Another observation is that I record everything, and watch almost NOTHING live. But I was watching the CBS HD feed yesterday of the UF/UGA game, and it rebooted on me at least twice during that game. I was watching on the buffer to cut the commercials, and I kept losing that AND the 6 minutes the dang thing takes to recycle.

I'm watching ER right now while the live tuner is still on HD CBS-E... And it hasn't rebooted yet. BUT, if the schedule holds, it should reboot in about another 20 minutes or so. It seems to like crashing at about 25 after for some reason.

[geordi]

And it's now after midnight EST... And it still hasn't crashed again. Hmm. Maybe they have quit screwing around? I hope?

[ronnythunder]

mine was on cbs hd ota as well - a rerun of csi. that definitely seems like a common thread, and the fact that it's ota seems to rule out directv involvement.

weird.

ronny

[louiss3000]

I see exctly the same error in my logs. However, I see it as a Fox (WSVN Miami 7-1) thing. It just doesn't want to watch the World Series. I can watch the WSVN SD sat feed with D* locals OK, just not OTA. It will reboot on watching a Fox recording as well. If I stay off 7-1, no reboots. I'm at 6.3c.

[100Tbps]

And it's now after midnight EST... And it still hasn't crashed again. Hmm. Maybe they have quit screwing around? I hope?

More likely there isn't an actual HD feed presented that late. My guess is there's some bad data in the stream causing a "buffer overflow" or at the very least, delivering something to the Tivo it cannot handle.

[mrpenguin]

ya know, I think 100Tbps may be on to something with CBS. My 540 took the 9.1 upgrade and all my CBS season passes were still there, but had "no future showings" of the nightly news. I recreated them. Yesterday I noticed the same thing again. I wonder if cbs/tivo is having issues. Also, look at the guide, is it "to be announced" at all? I noticed it had rebooted every so often and thought it was something else, now I wonder.

[RandC]

HR10-250 running 6.3c.Agree with CBS common factor. Sorry I did not post that 8-1 in Indianapolis is CBS in my earlier thread. I thought it was local OTA issue but if people are having reboots with the satellite feed then it has to be in the original transmission not a local feed issue.

I don't record CBS on Saturday, and here we are today.

So who knows, and I certainly don't know who to complain to, b/c we all know how amazingly smart the CSRs are at Dave.:rolleyes:I am going to call D* and get escalated to technical. I have done this way back when with the Fox OTA audio drop outs issue. When I finally called about that D* said they were just made aware of the issue. I said it has been posted all over the internet forums we have know about this for over a month. The technicians answer made a valid point, he said if you don't call us to report the problem we can't trouble shoot a problem we don't know about.

I turned the tuners on 1 of my dvrs to 2 standard def channels and put it on stanby. It hasn't rebooted in a couple of hours since. The other 1 is on CBS HD OTA and has rebooted 3 times this hour. I have another 1 that is unhacked and has 6.3e. It has been on CBS HD OTA all day with no reboots.Similar thing here. My friends unit is 6.3d and my unit I was watching the Colts was 6.3d. My other two units are 6.3e. So last night my friend and I set up recordings on CBS, three machines total. About 21 minutes into Cold Case reboot, friend called and his rebooted at the same time. Switched over to my other unit 6.3e and still going strong, checked back later and no reboot, this morning still no reboot.
I definitely think this is CBS related, but I think it could also have something with software version since both of our 6.3d rebooted at the same time and my 6.3e never missed a beat. My 6.3d unit did not download the software into mfs or it would be upgraded to 6.3e. So I do have one machine to compare with my other two when reboots occur. I am keeping a log of what channels both tuners are playing on all machines.

[RandC]

Just checked the HD TiVo forums at TCF and similar posting there. The common things I noticed was CBS and someone had 6.3c/d and forced a call an upgraded to 6.3e and had no more reboots. This adds a few more +1 to the "my 6.3e is not rebooting"

[geordi]

Well I have 6.3e in MFS right now... What will I lose if I force the upgrade? Will I need to completely re-hack everything again? The reason I ask is that I don't have access to the junk computer that I use for loading Tivo drives... My only desktop computer at the moment is a MacPro. I won't have access to the PC for a few more weeks.

Oh, and both tuners sitting on CBS HD (WCBS National East feed) while on standby has resulted in at least one more reboot, 40 minutes ago. Probably more than that. One tuner is now on WNBC and the other is on WABC... We shall see what happens during the day.

You will have to re-hack or follow guidelines here (http://dealdatabase.com/forum/showthread.php?t=51121) to upgrade and copy hacks without pulling drive

One tuner is now on WNBC and the other is on WABC... We shall see what happens during the day.Even in standby the unit is still saving to the buffer so reboots would occur as if you were watching TV. As long as my theory about something in the stream is causing this is correct.

[100Tbps]

I don't have 6.3e in MFS and don't see a link for it in the image begging thread. Does anyone have the slices?

[RandC]

I don't have 6.3e in MFS and don't see a link for it in the image begging thread. Does anyone have the slices?If you get something let me know as I have one machine without the slices either.

[geordi]

Is there any way of extracting the slices from MFS? I've never been able to catch it while it's downloading, and I didn't even know it did download that until I went looking in TivoWebPlus. If I can extract them, I'd be happy to send them to you somehow.

IIRC there is a SwSystem.slice that is not in MFS that would be required to install the uploaded slices.

[RandC]

Called D* got to technical, of course no reported issues regarding repeated reboots. Tech first said to do clear and delete everything (not gonna happen), he at least made sure I understood that if I did that I would loose recordings. Then I could try to make a daily call to upgrade software. If that didn't work they would swap it out for HR20. He was not interested that it appears to be related to CBS and possible software version. At least I was able to speak to someone with no accent, fluent English :), so I know we understood each other.

[tlphipps]

Just wanted to +1 from me.

HR10-250 6.3c

Nothing else to add really.

[geordi]

Well, sitting with the system on WNBC and WABC and paused on an ep of Survivor (NON-HD) for quite some time now, TWP shows uptime of 4hrs. Sorry I can't provide the files to upgrade from, but I'm going to try the upgrade myself in a little bit. If nothing else, even if I lose access for a couple weeks, there isn't anything that I want to download off the tivo right now anyway, so it won't be a huge loss to have to pull the drive later if I need to.

Actually... It might be nice to be able to load all this onto a larger A drive and get some more room... 550 GB just doesn't seem like enough. :lol:

[Antdog24]

So that's it? Upgrading is the only solution at this point? That sucks.... How do I turn on network upgrades, I'm running instacake, to see if I can get it from there.

[bfrank4709]

I ran add63.tcl last night and didn't have the new slices today. I wonder if they are still in the stream?

[RandC]

Actually... It might be nice to be able to load all this onto a larger A drive and get some more room... 550 GB just doesn't seem like enough. :lol:550 GB, how can you survive? I might be able to fill that up in one week:) Of course I do have too much free time to watch almost anything that is in HD :D and usually do.

[RandC]

I ran add63.tcl last night and didn't have the new slices today. I wonder if they are still in the stream?Slices have not been in the stream for a long time.

[RandC]

So that's it? Upgrading is the only solution at this point? That sucks.... How do I turn on network upgrades, I'm running instacake, to see if I can get it from there.You have one other solution if I am correct about CBS and 6.3e. If you do not want upgrade then do not watch or record anything on CBS :D

[geordi]

Well, after what they did to Jericho and Pirate Master... That is *almost* a possibility. I certainly wouldn't mind if Nina Tassler and Les Moonves BOTH "walked the plank" or heard "The Tribe Has Spoken"

[swspjcd]

I have 6.3d installed also and it is randomly rebooting like everyone else. Any chance someone can get the 6.3e slices and share them somewhere we can get them and see if after installing them,it fixes the problem?

[Antdog24]

:eek:Well... that sucks :) But yea, CSI is the only thing I watch on CBS... so I'll catch the reruns on USA. :D

[bfrank4709]

I need a Slice!!!

[mattdb]

Well I thought my drives were dying, so I came here to see what the latest was and well I guess I have to add a me too to this thread.

This just sux.

[geordi]

Well, it seems that I can't even force an upgrade... Anyone want to look at this and tell me what went wrong?

Eureka! (a darn fine show) That's fixed it. It's installing now... Up to creating the file system.

[geordi]

Ok, I'm trying to copy over my hack directory structures... And its failing out with "No space left on device" errors... And in the ptvupgrade/busybox folder, everything is coming up with a file size of 934360... Whats going on?

All I did was mount the new partition and run a cp -R /ptvupgrade/* /mnt/4/ptvupgrade and it seemed to be running just fine for a bit... Then this.

[geordi]

And yea, I had to do an instantcake to get the 6.3c loaded b/c my drive got buggered before and didn't have the slices when it was bricking cards. So sue me.

[geordi]

Oops. I figured it out, it was copying the links AS busybox instead of just making new links.

[geordi]

ARRRRRGGGGGHHHH!!!!!! Damn CBS! I didn't finish, and it's rebooting!

Crap. I hope it works or I'm screwed.

[geordi]

Well, I'm back with tv at least. I don't think I have network access anymore tho. Drat.

[bfrank4709]

Mine rebooted too at 7:58 and I wasn't on CBS.

[HiDefHusker]

I've been getting the random reboots, also. I upgraded from 6.3c to 6.3e two days ago and it hasn't rebooted yet. Crossing my fingers.

[RandC]

My findings for tonight: Monday 10-29
Two units 6.3d and 6.3e
Set up CBS recordings 8 - 11 pm on both units
6.3d rebooted at 8:18, 8:57, and 10:32 EST - my friends 6.3d unit also rebooted

6.3e no reboots
I will cross reference 6.3d reboots with the picture glitches that CBS has from time to time

My consensus at this point is 6.3e is not having reboot issues with CBS

[geordi]

Thus far this evening, I concur. The tivo is back online with the same network address it had before I upped it to 6.3e... But thanks to CBS's monkeying... I don't have access to the box anymore. I'm going to have to re-hack it once I can get home. At least the menus seem to be running just a shade faster now. Maybe they actually made it more stable?

I rebooted at the same times tonight on a 6.3d stock machine.

[Antdog24]

Guys, I don't know what happened, but I turned my NETWORK_CALL to ON and forced it to connect to DVR service, it downloaded and installed something, I rebooted and its been perfect all night, no reboot. I'm still on 6.3d, but what is different, is when I go to System Infomation the first line says Backdoors ENABLED! and I have a alot of different crap in there now than I had before. I don't know what it did but it seemed to fix it and it enabled a bunch of stuff like 30second skip, and it lists things that are enabled and disabled like MRV... weird...

[Antdog24]

I also have a new menu item called Promo List... but nothing loads... weird. But I see the options for hme and all are disabled... I wonder if there is a way to enable this stuff.

[quadra]

Count me in on the reboot problem.

I just went through the update to 6.3e so we'll see if that really is the fix.

[RandC]

I will cross reference 6.3d reboots with the picture glitches that CBS has from time to timeWatched CSI Miami last night from 6.3e machine and there was no glitch around the 32 minute mark. I was hoping that some of the glitches I get on CBS would be timed when the reboot on 6.3d occurs. CBS go thru spurts where there will be allot of glitches for a few days then normal for a while.

[Butch]

This will blow your mind.
I have two HR10-250 with exact 6.3c hacked software on both.
Both are connected to the SAT feed & OTA antenna.
One has a subscription and the other just has a expired DSS card (I use this system just as a dummy player and also to watch OTA channels)

Having them both on CBS OTA channel.
The tivo with the subscription is doing the random booting on the OTA CBS channels.
The tivo with the non subscription works perfect on the OTA CBS Channels.

[ronnythunder]

somebody on tivocommunity asked, and i think it's worth asking here: is there *any* box running 6.3e that has had reboots?

[labbie48]

Anybody know exactly what files changed from 6.3d -> 6.3e?

[Butch]

Both have sat feed (reason I have the sat feed to the one with no subscription is so that I get the guide data) for the OTA channels.

[jt1134]

somebody on tivocommunity asked, and i think it's worth asking here: is there *any* box running 6.3e that has had reboots?
My 2 boxes have been running strong on 6.3e. I keep a reboot log on both, and neither one has rebooted except when I initiated it.

[mrpenguin]

Just thought of something, by any chance do all of you also have any 9.1 subbed box as well on your network, or solely dtivo boxes?

Only DTiVo's on my network.

[mrpenguin]

thanks, scratch that theory.

[louiss3000]

An observation. Related? Maybe.

My HR10-250 was at 6.3c, and was rebooting like all the others. I manually went to 6.3e early this morning. Left 1 tuner on CBS OTA all day, no reboots.

But wait, there's more. Tonight both Bones and House 'were not recorded because they are no longer in the guide', but oh yes they were.

Someone suggested bad guide data was the root cause of the reboots. Possibly this supports that?

Just an observation, hope it helps.

[eBruce]

I've been seeing the same issue on my HR-150 w/6.3c. I updated tonight to 6.3e and will report the results.

[bfrank4709]

After a reboot 20 minutes into Without A Trace from last Thursday the receiver recorded the rest of the episode. Strangly the first 4 or 5 minutes of the recording was from The craig ferguson show and then it abruptly switched back to Without a Trace. Craig Ferguson is not something that I ever record. The same thing happed a couple weeks ago. It said I had a partial (51 mins)recording of Bionic Woman. When I started the show the green bar showed I had only 21 mins but it actually only played about 1 minute of Journeyman that I didn't record but did watch 2 nights before.

[bluemodena]

I am having the same problem... I hardly every watch live TV, so I can't tell you what my tuners are tuned to when the reboot occurs. But, over the last few weeks, it has gotten more and more frequent. What's going on?

Running 6.3d

[jkozee]

It looks like CBS is using a lot more "Press Thumbs Up - To Record" messages on their commercials. I'm not sure how those "pop ups" are generated, but they are embedded in the stream. My theory is that data is causing the reboots. Anybody able to verify this?

What was the last thing recorded before the reboot?At this point jkozee, you gets a thumbs up. I cross referenced my 6.3e recording with 6.3d partial and just before the "thumbs up to record" pops up that is where it rebooted. I will have to check Monday shows to see if that coincides with the reboots also.

------Added Wednesday 12:05 am
Mondays shows did not have "thumbs up to record" in How I Met Your Mother or Big Bang Theory, can't check CSI as it is deleted. It might have been a coincidence for tonights show. Will keep a tab on the possibility though.

Are you able to transfer the recording from the 6.3e to the 6.3d (I don't run an HR10 so I'm not sure of the version differences). If you can transfer it then check if it reboots during playback at the same point.

[RandC]

[jkozee]

Yes I can and I will, good idea.

Even if we are able to determine that the corrupt data is in the stream, I'm not sure what good it will do unless we find a way to strip it out before the tivoapp hits it. Ultimately 6.3e may be the only choice to fix this issue, unless someone is able to find a patch to previous SW releases.

[vhkounel]

I too am getting this dreaded reboot (have 6.3d). I record a lot of CBS HD and see my Tivo reboot 2-3 times during a primetime hours in the last couple of days. It happened yesterday (Monday, Oct 29) while it was recording:
-CHUCK (NBC) and HOW I MET YOUR MOTHER (CBS) @ 8:14PM & 8:54PM (Pacific Time) OTA HD
-RULES OF ENGAGEMENT (CBS) and HEROES (NBC) @ 9:36PM
-JOURNEYMAN (NBC) and CSI MIAMI (CBS) @ 10:30PM

It also happened tonight during:
-THE UNIT (CBS) and REAPER (CW) @ 9:09PM

It did not happen during the 8PM hour (recording BONES on FOX).

When my Tivo gets done with the reboot and goes to the last step "Aquiring Information from the Satellite" I get an error that "the recorder was unable to aquire information from the Satellite". I then do a "Try Again to Aquire Information" and then all is OK (until my next reboot). Anybody else see this? My strength is over 85% on all 3 LNBs.

This just in, I as I was typing this note, my Tivo rebooted during David Letterman 12:10PM, Wed, Oct 31. I was not recording anything but it just went to a commercial and then rebooted.

[az1324]

Got exactly the same reboot at 12:10. Was watching a recorded show but one of tuners was on CBS. Interesting stuff. Guess I will do the manual upgrade sometime this week.

Ultimately 6.3e may be the only choice to fix this issue, unless someone is able to find a patch to previous SW releases.If your idea works, then I think we can prove definitively that it is in the stream and software version can solve the problem.
On my next note, I could not get my MovieLoader running last night to transfer The Unit overnight. I did just get it figured so I will started the transfer so I will check it out later.

[vnino]

I've had the same issue on 6.3c recording CBS and multiple reboots at least 3 nights since last Friday. I didn't have any reboots on Monday night when I didn't record any CBS shows.

[Antdog24]

I've been checking through tivoweb all morning. My Tivo has been on CBS HD for 4 hours now with no reboot.

[Rottluver]

My HR10-250 started rebooting Sunday as well, DURING FOOTBALL!!!!!!!! The hard drive is less than 3 weeks old (and the unit was bought new by me the first part of this year, just not hooked up till recently) and it is running the 6.3d software. It has rebooted NUMEROUS times, and a lot of it was while watching CBS.........Weaknees (where I got the new drive from) first said it was a hard drive failure, then called me back and said I needed 6.3e.....but I can't get it to download (or even find) that upgrade. Help?

How are you guys finding/downloading 6.3e? I have forced my machine to call in EASILY 15-20 times since the guy at Weaknees told me about 6.3e yesterday.....but so far, no luck. Still shows 6.3d and I have restarted it several times (not counting the numerous reboots) and still no 6.3e. :(

Can ANYONE tell me how to get 6.3e? Obviously forced calls are not making it happen and my unit is NOT hacked, so I can't do it the uber-technical way.

[ronnythunder]

i was fortunate enough for 6.3e to have been sitting in mfs; those without it will have to get the slices from somewhere. you can't get it from a forced call; it only came down over the sat. hopefully, since directv supposedly has visibility to this issue now, they'll start sending it out again in the stream.

perhaps a 6.3d -> 6.3e diff would be more useful.

edited to add: the tivoapp sums are after the backdoor, 30 sec, nocso and hmo patches, so don't rely on it.

Are you able to transfer the recording from the 6.3e to the 6.3d (I don't run an HR10 so I'm not sure of the version differences). If you can transfer it then check if it reboots during playback at the same point.No go on the reboot. Transfered "The Unit" from 6.3e and played thru the reboot point and beyond. The 2nd tier tech I talked to yesterday said other information is transmitted within the show content that is not related to the actual show we see. So would it be safe to say that the show appears to be fine but whatever additional information is being sent along with the show could be causing the reboot?

[RandC]

6.3e is definitely in the stream, I had never made a call out with my Tivo until the rebooting started for me last week and I have 6.3e in my /SwSystem

[ronnythunder]

See this post (http://dealdatabase.com/forum/showthread.php?p=285739#post285739)yeah, that's what i meant to say :)

either way, this isn't one of the cases where just one file changed and we can easily patch an existing release without doing the whole thing (one of the 6.3 upgrades was like that; perhaps 6.3a -> 6.3b?).

ronny

[dengland]

Has anyone done a C&D program guide and SPs? I am still sitting at something less than 6.3e on one of my unit. (It says 6.3b, but I am pretty sure I updated files from a unit I have at 6.3d on). I started getting the signal 11 reboots on 10/25. During the reboots I had CBS recording OTA.

I did a C&D program guide and SPs last night and have been up for 17 hours. Some of that time was spent on CBS.

Now that I see what files I've actually included and the post by ronnythunder above about the differences between 6.3c and 6.3e, it appears that the attached files could be used to upgrade from either 6.3c or 6.3d to 6.3e. Let me know if anyone tries it and has success. Remember to move your current tivoapp to a backup before uploading these files, and remember to patch your new tivoapp at the correct 6.3e patch locations.Correct me if I am wrong whitepelican. My notes indicate from 6.3b to 6.3c was tivoapp only change, if my notes are correct then people with 6.3b could also use this to get to 6.3e.

Correct me if I am wrong whitepelican. My notes indicate from 6.3b to 6.3c was tivoapp only change, if my notes are correct then people with 6.3b could also use this to get to 6.3e.

That could be. I haven't kept track very well of all these different versions of 6.3x. I had no intention of going to 6.3e until these reboots started happening.

[Butch]

I upgraded from 6.3c to 6.3e with no problems. Just don't have the buffer hack installed yet.
I find that 6.3e is faster.
I just need to get the slices for my standard non high def tivos which I have 6.3c on them. I use these as tivo dummy players etc. I connected one tivo to a sat feed to see if I can get the 6.3e slices download. Prob goto run 6.3add on it. Any one know how to catch the slices before it gets to the mfs then let me know and I will try it.

UPDATE
I guess there is no way of saving slices via the SAT. But there is a way using dial up or something like that.
I take it I have to wait for slices to show up on emula or something like that. Doesn't sound too promising does it. Maby need to do a total restore from an image for 6.3e.

[geordi]

So far on 6.3e for me, no reboots since I've upgraded it. The menus and other stuff is definitely reacting faster now, I'm happy about that, but I wish it hadn't rebooted before I had finished the hacking for network access.

[vnino]

I upgraded from 6.3c to 6.3e with no problems. Just don't have the buffer hack installed yet.
Did you use the diff patches posted in this thread or force an update? Is there a thread on upgrading from 6.3c to 6.3e without losing hacks?

Thanks.

[itols]

I updated my hr10-250 from 6.3c to 6.3e due to the random reboots and information in this thread. Interesting thing happened though, I found the 6.3e slices in /SwSystem and ran the script to update. I then rehacked the tivoapp with the 6.3e updates found on this site for encryption, 30 sec, and backdoors. After rebooting I checked the system in the system information screen and it still said 6.3c, I also found I must have made a mistake in my hacks and didn't set up my netconfig right or didn't run the script correctly so I lost my ethernet connection. I knew I would have to pull the drive but before I did that I forced a call the next day and found that the call did something because it downloaded data for a few minutes. I rebooted and the system took a few minutes longer, it looked like it went through two reboots but the system came up fine and now the system says it is at 6.3e but I still lost all my hacks.

Recorded CBS after the reboot (criminal minds) and watched the show 15 minutes later to ff thru commercials and didn't have any reboot problems.

I am going to have to pull the drive to rehack the system but I have already broken down and received the new HR20 to get the new HD channels. I will use the HR10 but not in my main viewing room anymore.

[swspjcd]

Crap! I originally had 6.3e installed and the harddrive went bad so I was forced to goto 6.3c because it was the only image I could find once I got a replacement drive. Now it looks like the 6.3e images aren't in stream anymore so I have no idea how I am going to upgrade to 6.3e as my Hr10-250 is almost useless since it reboots everytime I record anything from CBS in HD which of course, I have lots of shows in my SP for CBS. Ugh. Where is everyone else getting 6.3e from? Or is it back in stream again? My rebooting HR10-250 is making me crazy! Fortunately I do have a DTV HR20-100 also.

I'd even do a clear and delete on my HR10-250 and make an image with 6.3e if someone else can host an ftp for it.

I had reboots at 7:48, 11:13, and 1:13pm today, but not the other 3 time. I know the one tuner was on CBS at 7:48 and 11:13. I don't know if either of the tuners were on CBS after 12:30.

Has anyone done a C&D program guide and SPs?
I did a C&D program guide and SPs last night and have been up for 17 hours. Some of that time was spent on CBS. I had 3 reboots today.

[tsanga]

I upgraded from 6.3c to 6.3e with no problems.
Butch,
Where did you end up getting slices?

[bigrig]

Hey guys, 6.3b user here with the same problem.

My hunch is this is DST related... Seeing as it started last weekend when clocks were originally supposed to roll back, but they decided to delay it one week. So I think 6.3e has the updated DST date, but older softwares have conflicts somewhere, maybe with the guide data? My tivo shows the correct time, but looking in TWP it shows an hour behind.

I bet this might clear up by itself after this weekend.

A little late but here are my findings for Wednesday 10-31

Two units 6.3d and 6.3e
Set up CBS recordings 8 - 11 pm on both units
6.3d rebooted at 8:20. 9:19 EST.
Reboots have been busy during the day of 11-1. EST - Reboots at 7:48am, 11:13am, 1:13pm, 1:58pm, 2:48pm, and 3:36pm. For those of you who wish to cross reference you daytime reboots

One box I know had the 7:48, 11:13, 1:13, 1:58, 2:48, but not the 3:36. Exact same minute! This one has been held back at 8.3 till enough time to upgrade customization. I think we have a winner! I bet an upgrade to 9.1 will fix it. so seems if you are not at 6.3e or 9.1 there is a definate bug that gives an "Illegal read at 00000000" caused by something. gotta figure out the backtrace thing to see where it is happening and just bypass that code, if possible for the 6.3x boxes, no need to stay with 8.x forever on the others probably upgrade and fix.

Don't think it is DST related, but who knows.

[clubberlang]

I was thinking the same thing, about the issue being related to Daylight Savings Time being delayed this year. My second DirecTIVO (not an HR10-250) actually has shown the wrong time on the guide all week, yet the HR10-250 shows the correct time still. I am very hopeful that this fixes itself over the weekend, for I rest numerous times tonight while taping CBS, and its becoming a big pain in the behind.

Don't think it is DST related, but who knows.Pulled the kernel log to verify my 3:36 was caused by the same error and it was.

Thursday 11-1

What a busy night for rebooting

Two units 6.3d and 6.3e
Set up CBS recordings 8 - 11 pm on both units
6.3d rebooted at 8:07, 8:57, 9:48, 10:06, and 10:42 EST.

Friends unit I upgraded to 6.3e, no reboots.

[Butch]

Butch,
Where did you end up getting slices?

I had them setting in the system mfs
But for all my other tivos that were not connected to a sat feed . they do not have slices for the 6.3e .. but since they are not connected to the sat feed they can play recorded shows no problem. But I would like to get them to 6.3e because 6.3e runs faster I find.

[tsanga]

Dang. My HR10-250 is subbed and plugged in the whole time, yet it's my HDVR2 that got the 6.3e slices, months ago. No 6.3e on the HR10, and it rebooted 3 times in 2 hours last night while recording CBS shows.

[smokey75]

I'm finding conflicting information in searches so hopefully someone can clarify.

I have two HR10-250s and one of them has the 6.3e slice files in MFS as well as four 6.3e .gz files on it. The second one has no slices at all.

To get the second one working without having to dial in, can I just copy the .gz files over, dbload them, and then run the installSw.itcl to install it?

Of course, I know I'll need to reapply hacks, etc, but will that work correctly to get me that far?

I don't believe so. I think the problem is getting the slices out of MFS. There is another thread here (http://www.dealdatabase.com/forum/showthread.php?t=56827) that indicates that obtaining the slices will be issue. You could manually upgrade the box that has the slices on it and copy over the changed files. I have done that in the past when the list of files that have changed is small. I have not done this yet myself to get to 6.3e.

[jt1134]

6.3e .gz files? Where did you find them and what are they called? You can probably grab 6.3e slices directly from tivo's servers, but you can only get an encrypted swsystem, and therein lies a dilemma.

I copied my partition 3 and 4 over to 6 and 7 since I didn't have anything on there and updated the files from the diff and patched the new tivoapp nad changed the bootpage. It didn't work, rebooting after a minute on the splash screen. I don't have a console cable so I don't know what is happening at that point and am fairly new to hacking so I don't know if what I did would have worked anyways.

I pulled my drive out, reset the bootpage and am back up on 6.3d.

Sucks since I've been running add63.tcl for a week and haven't gotten the 6.3e slices :(

Also I would not patch the tivoapp until I verified any changes made would allow the TiVo to boot properly, a bad tivoapp can cause reboot loop.

Well I'm not going to yell at you for breaking my tivo as I did that! Seemed to work fine until I rebooted and then went into a reboot loop. Guess I'm going to have to buy an instantcake image and pull the drive. Ah well, should be able to copy image and save my recordings

Are you saying you used the files I posted and it didn't work? If so, I will get rid of that post so others don't break their Tivos.

[esayre]

I tried your files and mine is in a reboot loop. So, something bad is happening :)

Hmmm... OK, then. Attachments removed from my previous post. Sorry for the problems, I was just trying to help out. It still seems odd to me that it worked fine on my alternate partition, so I'm guessing there is still some issue in MFS that is way over my head. I hope everybody can find the 6.3e slices somehow, as my system has been very steady and even faster since 6.3e has been installed.

[dengland]

And you won't get them, they are no longer in the stream
Forcing a call (Connect to the DVR service now) seems to work this morning. I now have 6.3e in MFS. The call took about an hour and a half.

I noticed mine was randomly calling in this morning too. Which is odd since yesterday it said it wasn't due to call in for like 9 or 10 days.......and it is taking a long time so I am PRAYING that 6.3e is what it is getting!!!!!

WAHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!! I have 6.3e now since that call in!!! Just needed a restart and it was up & running! Let's see if it is as good as people say (not rebooting 100 times a day). :D

[VaBeachGuy]

This happened to me too while watching the Colts game (on the Super Fan DTV feed). I had just assumed that it was because I had set the TiVo to record manually for 9 hours (I wanted to record both the early and late games).

I have 6.3d so I guess I'll plug the phone in and let it upgrade.

[VaBeachGuy]

without reading through all 10 pages, was this only a problem on 6.3? I have a spare hard drive that has 3.1f on it and I'll pop that in to record tomorrow's football games if it doesn't have the same issue. Then I'll worry about upgrading the 6.3 next week.

[VaBeachGuy]

I don't think 3.1f has the issues because I have an HR10 with 3.1f running and it didn't reboot at all last week. I don't know if it was recording any CBS games though so I can't swear by it.

Man, this happened to be 4 times during Colts/Pats. Last reboot was when there were 2 minutes left and Pats had to convert a 3rd down. Imagine me almost grabbing the Tivo and throwing it out the window.

I can imagine, this week I put in my hard drive that has 3.1f on it and had no problems. NFL is all I use CBS for so I'll just put 3.1f in from now on until I get 6.3 updated.

I'm surprised that worked for you. I'm running 3.1.5f and experienced at least four reboots during Vikings/Chargers on CBSW HD (and several on 726 for that matter), and one on Colts/Patriots on 719.

[BeagleBoy]

I just got an HR10-250 last week. I activated it, and it made its daily call and installed 6.3e.

Over the past two days, I've been getting a number of spurious reboots. What I'm wondering is, whether there's still a problem with 6.3e, or do I have something else going on (like a failing disk, etc)?

Has anyone with 6.3e had any trouble?

-Jim

[tvtyme]

Here's what I get off a fresh v6.3e InstantCake install on my HR10-250:
1. Restored IC image using command "mfsrestore -s 127 -xzpi /cdrom/.image/00001 /dev/hdc onto a 250Gb drive
2. Booted Tivo with drive, did a C&D and went through Guided Setup
3. After it went through acquiring the satellite data it hung at the end:

I'm not so sure about the CBS theory. Last night, mine rebooted while it was recording DwtS and Heroes, neither of which are on CBS.

I upgraded to 6.3e late on Saturday night ET. I haven't had a reboot since - even while watching or recording CBS OTA in HD Sunday afternoon and NBC OTA in HD Monday night. I was previously on 6.3c and CBS was absolutely the culprit for my reboots which started week before last. Before that, I was stable since upgrading from whatever I had before 6.3c.

Maybe something else caused your reboot other than what's been coming from CBS, or perhaps NBC started doing something. Are you on 6.3e or something earlier?

[Tivo>Yes:HR20No]

Man, this happened to be 4 times during Colts/Pats. Last reboot was when there were 2 minutes left and Pats had to convert a 3rd down. Imagine me almost grabbing the Tivo and throwing it out the window.

Did you get it new or used? If it is a little bit older, the hard drive could be bad and need replacing.........I know I got my HR10-250 early this year but didn't open the box and hook it up until last month....and the HDD was bad. :(

A simple visit to the weaknees website took care of that though. :)

Have you tried calling in recently? My machine called in on Saturday morning (was scheduled for late this week) and downloaded 6.3e

Took nearly 90 minutes to complete the call but it was WELL worth it. :D

Ditto, did mine last night. Loooong phone call.

[swspjcd]

I've been trying to get my tivos (2 of them, one HR10-250 and one HDVR2) to even make a successful call and neither will at all. I don't know what happened to make them both stop working but they both dial but never connect. I've tried rebooting both and then doing it again. Still no luck. I tried the add6x.tcl script but it didn't seem to make it download the slices either. It's very odd and I'm wondering if there is something wrong with my phone lines. I tried listening on the phone while the connection was going on and it definitely dials and tries "phreaking" but never seems to connect. Going to keep trying though.

Probably something you have already tried, but maybe using a different call-in number? I had some troubles getting connected using the same number I have been for almost 3 years (since I moved up here), but once I changed numbers, it dialed right up....

[swspjcd]

Forgot to put that in my last post but I did try all the local numbers I could and all had the same problem. Very strange.

Maybe give it a day or so, shut down and unplug your machine for 5-10 minutes, restart and try again? Or call DTV to see if there is a problem with the numbers for your area?

Good luck!!

[tsanga]

swspjcd,

Also stating the obvious, but I take it you already commented out any fakecall or route statements in your startup routine? I couldn't get mine to call successfully without rebooting during "Preparing..." before I commented out calls to everything (netserver, TWP, custom monte'd kernel, etc.).

You could always try this lead (http://www.dealdatabase.com/forum/showthread.php?p=290262#post290262). I made an image too, although I think he already has it uploaded.

[BeagleBoy]

I should have checked my logs. Turns out I had a corrupt show in MFS that was causing a HandleDataChanged assertion any time the tivo tried to touch it.

I'm running 6.3d with all the "bells and whistles". DwtS started at 8pm, but was still on during Heroes when it rebooted. Oh well....I guess I am left with no choice but to move to 6.3e

[VaBeachGuy]

I'm surprised that worked for you. I'm running 3.1.5f and experienced at least four reboots during Vikings/Chargers on CBSW HD (and several on 726 for that matter), and one on Colts/Patriots on 719.

WB

I didn't get any reboots but one of my 2 HR10's that are running 3.1f was scheduled to record 726 (Chargers@Vikings) and when I went in and checked it all I had was "Channel not available" and Wyatt Erp was playing instead of football. I was pissed!

[bluemodena]

I decided to let my HDVR2 call in first, and make all my mistake on the bonus room tivo, instead of my main tivo downstairs (HR10-250). I ran the script posted a few pages back to create hard links to the files in /var/packages. Anyway, I just let the script run and came back later. When I go into the Tivo phone settings, it says last call "failed while loading data". Is this normal? BTW, I still have upgradesoftware=false set.

Since it failed, not knowing what happened, I let it dial in a second time. It failed the same way, but what was interesting is some of the hard links are different.

Has anyone checked which files changed from 6.3d to 6.3e?
I would not think that MFS data was changed in the upgrade.
If the list is small, one could just copy or patch a couple files to get 6.3e

Just an idea.

EDIT:
Lots of files have changed, so this is not a good option.

Just an idea.Click here (http://dealdatabase.com/forum/showpost.php?p=290000&postcount=99) for 6.3d - 6.3e diff. You might want to read thru this thread to catch up on what has been tried.

[allonon]

Interestingly enough, my HR10 stopped rebooting spontaneously. I've beeen running since Sunday with only the planned reboots at night. Still running 6.3d and recording lots of shows off CBS

[bluemodena]

Allonon, mine definitely rebooted Monday night, but I haven't see it since then. I have an SP for 3 shows on CBS for Tuesday, so I can say at least one of my tuners was on CBS during primetime. <fingers-crossed>

I decided to let my HDVR2 call in first, and make all my mistake on the bonus room tivo, instead of my main tivo downstairs (HR10-250). I ran the script posted a few pages back to create hard links to the files in /var/packages. Anyway, I just let the script run and came back later. When I go into the Tivo phone settings, it says last call "failed while loading data". Is this normal? BTW, I still have upgradesoftware=false set.

Since it failed, not knowing what happened, I let it dial in a second time. It failed the same way, but what was interesting is some of the hard links are different.

it seems that this file "swsystem-105665525-2.slice.bnd" is not completely downloaded or corrupt as it's not being converted to the ".gz" format when complete.

Maybe try a different dial in number? The part that sucks is all the slices have to be downloaded again and If I remember correctly, you're looking at close to 2 hours of phone time. Best to try it overnight unless you're trying to grab the slices out of /var/packages.

It's still in bundled form because it's encrypted. You'll have to decrypt it before it's good for anything.

Just to add a datapoint, I'm running 6.3c and I've had three reboots, one on HDNetMovies early Sunday, one on Fox OTA Sunday night and another on ESPNHD last night. Don't watch CBS very often--but I'm doing an upgrade to 6.3e tonight. Gotta get that in before the Auburn-Georgia game tomorrow.

FWIW, I also have to wonder if the bug is due to the DST change. My DTivo was solid as a rock right up until Sunday, which was the day of the time change.

I was thinking about that as well.....except mine started having troubles after the "normal" DST change WOULD HAVE been........and stopped right after I got 6.3e (about 18 hours before the actual DST change). Like yours, mine was flawless prior to that Sunday (10-28)

Hard to say either way........but it has been almost a week with ZERO reboots so whatever it was, I am just glad it is fixed!!! :cool::cool::cool:

[ronnythunder]

so, has anyone with < 6.3e had any cbs reboots since sunday?

ronnyI still have not got around to getting my 6.3d to friend phone line yet. I thought I would check to see if by chance the DST had any effect, so I did set it to CBS Wednesday and had reboots as follows.

Were you recording CBS HD though? I've only had problems on CBS with HD recordings.

I don't have any HD channels coming thru my box yet (haven't upgraded my TV or DTV service/sat yet) so I know it isn't that.....though every time it was on CBS (SD)....BOOM massive reboots. :(

I figured that it had something to with the HD signal but when people were posting that SD and national HD sat feed were rebooting then it is something CBS is doing from the start.

One thing I read before mine fixed was someone noticed the troubles would happen at times when the "Press Thumbs Up To Record" thing was flashing on their screen. I didn't pay that close attention but I did see for the first few days after the upgrade to 6.3e that whenever that thing showed on my screen for CBS, the Tivo, slowed, almost froze and then started working properly (lasted all of about 5-10 seconds). It has stopped doing that now, but it made me wonder......

[tas3086]

FYI - About a year ago our local TV station installed a fix for their hd signal processing. My VOOM receiver died every time the channel was selected. I contacted the TV chief engineer who stated that a required protocol fix was intstalled and that I should upgrade my box to the latest level. About 5 weeks later, the problem went away. The engineer stated that yet another fix was installed.

Hopefully this is what happened with CBS.

[Slardybardfast]

Is it possible that CBS is causing the reboot problem intentionally? Probably not, since the HR-20/21 don't seem to be suffering the same problem.
