That's hard core, Omikron. Good luck!

When you say "we", does that mean your hacking away with someone else? That's would be good, because you can bounce off ideas, and if you're going down the...

You have a PM with some questions. Thanks.

Software update prevention has been covered previously in this thread, so I won't rehash that.

But after reaching the point where I had telnet and ftp access, the issue of extraction came up....

EDIT: The following occurs after accessing my tivo via telnet:

I think I used the /tivo/tivo-bin option to do the "tar -xvf /cdrom/tivotools.tar" command. However, I can't seem to find the...

One of the primary reasons I wanted to start hacking my tivo was to access the recorded shows that were copy protected. Mind you, I'm not looking at all of them. There is a specific set of shows that...

Is the above correct?

After typing /.tvapppatch.tcl I get "no such file or directory".
So I tried ./tvappatches.tcl, but I get "line 36 syntax error near unexpected token '}'

Thanks in...

I did notice that the level of activity of DDB is fairly low. However, whenever I have a question, 90% of the time I get an answer.

Make sure you read the first post and also Richard Berg's follow up.

I'm moving a lot slower than expected. I really need to set aside a few hours, as my first attempt was not successful. I...

I downloaded the tivopart utility to my Ubuntu Linux and then unzipped it.

The command that allowed me to see the tivo drive is:
sudo ./tivopart.x86 r /dev/sdb

Good luck.

Great. Thanks. I think I'll try the "tivopart revalidate" solution. I found a thread that seemed to cover the subject.

Thanks for the reply.

Patch and recompile the Tivo kernel or the Ubuntu kernel?

I looked up tivopart... not sure exactly how this applies. Do I install tivopart in Ubuntu and then run it so I...

Rather than using the MFS Live Linux Boot CD, I'd like to use a Linux version to help me hack my Tivo hard drive.

I installed Ubuntu, but when I do the command "cat /proc/partitions", all I see...

Omikron,

Have you abandoned the Tivo HD Serial Jack idea? Just wondering.

Thanks.

Thanks for the response. I'll have to give that a try.

On a side note, I was able to get a non-hacked tivo hard drive and the tivo works fine. Now it's back to trying to fix those iptables on the...

Sorry for the double post, but now I have a new problem.

I went through the entire procedure up until returning the tivo hard drive to the tivo. The tivo is now cycling in the welcome power up...

I've followed the steps from the first post, up until the mounting of the CD-ROM.

Rayce,

Thanks for the reply.

3. I saw this thread and I thought it contained useful information:...

My question probably belongs in the newbie forum, but I'm in a similar situation as the OP.

I just got my Tivo HD hacked. I have a more basic question. How does one transfer files into the Tivo...

Excuse the newbie question, but what does the Tivo HD TTL adapter do for you? I don't know exactly what the serial connection is for. Thanks!

Omikron,

Your account is full and can't PM you.

Let us know when you can accept PMs. Thanks!

Woo Hoo! Yeah, Baby!

Actually, others were probably using this thread because there was no activity.

In any case, welcome back, Omikron!

So you've socketed the PROM, but you haven't reprogrammed it, right?
