Missing installSw.itcl

[xpanmanx]

Greetings,

I'm trying to upgrade my HDVR2 to 3.1.1e. Yet I cannot find installSw.itcl in tvbin, nor is it laying about the disk in some strange folder. I guess I deleted it at some point while I was learning about blocking updates...why I did so, however, is a mystery.

Would someone please upload a version of installSw.itcl which is appropriate for use on my HDVR2 @ 3.1.1c?

TIA

Moved to Newbie.

That script is copyrighted. It's probably a much better idea just to extract it from your GZtvbin slice in /SwModule .

That'll work. Thanks!

Thanks so much, so far. I'm following your lead in this post.

I believe I've identified the correct object:

SwModule 135322/11 {
  ServerVersion  = 1
  ModuleFile     = 135323
  ModuleRelease  = 1
  ModuleVersion  = 3.1.1c-01-2
  Name           = GZtvbin
  ServerId       = 20160888
  Version        = 1
  IndexPath      = /SwModule/135322 /Server/20160888
}

So my tivosh transaction is:

% transaction { FromMfs /tmp/bin.stuff.gz 135323 }

And I would follow it with:

# mkdir /tmp/bin
# cd /tmp/bin
# gzip -d < /tmp/bin.stuff.gz | cpio -idm --no-preserve-owner

Then I would:

# mv /tmp/bin/installSw.itcl /tvbin/installSw.itcl

And finish up with:

# chmod 755 /tvbin/installSw.itcl

But I can't get that far. The FromMfs transaction returns:

only read 2140111468 bytes of 140

The only other relevant object in MFS appears doesn't appear to be the correct version:

SwModule 218279/11 {
  ServerVersion  = 1
  ModuleFile     = 218312
  ModuleRelease  = 1
  ModuleVersion  = 3.1.5e-01-2
  Name           = GZtvbin
  ServerId       = 34560900
  Version        = 1
  IndexPath      = /SwModule/218279 /Server/34560900
}

I'm stuck. I guess I could restore my backup to a different HDD and snag the file via sneakernet, but I wouldn't be learning nearly as much.

Can you help me sort this out?

I have not seen that before. Can you extract the tyFile with mfs_export/mfs_stream/mfs_uberexport?

Hmmm never mind, it worked after rebooting the TiVo. No clue why that happened, though.

Thanks again, ADH.
