    OK

    1. Get teraterm (download.com)
    2. edit /.bashrc so 1st line is stty 115200
    3. reboot
    4. change speed on teraterm to 115200
    5. transfer whatever files you want and edit sartup files as needed
    6. enjoy

    Unhappy

    Sorry, just got a HDVR2 and I was followingCobelli's guide on how to get a bash prompt. I went through all steps with no problems and was at the point of connecting my serial cable from my pc to my tivo, and according to the step by step when I powered my tivo back up after the welcome screen I should of gotten bash on my teraterm......I don't know what to do after this point but I know when I plug in my serial cable and plug in my tivo I don't get anything on my teraterm.....I'm lost at this point

    seems you had bash what did you do to lose it?

    what serial speed you have teraterm set for?
    what com port?

    inquiring minds want to know......

    The HDVR2 boots fully, correct?

    If it hangs, then you did something wrong.

    If it boots fully - then connect the serial cable,
    start TeraTerm

    Make sure the serial port settings are correct
    9600-8-n-1 Flow Control off

    If thats OK, hit enter at the blank TeraTerm prompt.

    Does anything happen?
    Can you even type in the TerTerm window?

    If not - then bash isn't working.

    It means one of a couple of things:
    that the cable your using is no good
    that you aren't using TeraTerm properly (but it sounds like you are)
    that somewhere along the way you made a mistake

    If it isn't the cable, or TeraTerm, then you don't have it calling the BASH_ENV.

    So, you can either pull the drive and try to find out where you made a mistake, or pull the drive and start over.

    I've used Cobelli's guide a few times - and it is easy to have one mis-type screw the whole project. I know because I've done it.

    The most common mistake I made is mistyping the bootpage command.

    Maybe you need a null-modem adapter. Just blindly using a cable that you "think" might work ain't the way to go. Check the wiring.
