Thread: Need an image? Don't PM me. :)


Started 1 year, 11 months ago by rcobourn
If you need an image for a TiVo hard drive installation, here are your best bets at them moment: 1) Drop by #tivo on EFnet. If you don't have an IRC client, you can use the java client at http://irc.netsplit.de/webchat/?net=EFnet . If you have an IRC client installed, try this link: IRC://irc.efnet.org/tivo .

#tivo on Efnet didn't have any useful information in the topic so I sent over an email, thanks!

Hey finding Tivo images seems to be sort of a hassle. Your primary FTP is offline and the backup (gotdns.org) didn't have a SVR-2000 image. I had one from like 6 years ago but it was the old Tivo software with no native support for the NIC. So instead of performing the hackery required to get the ancient image working over the network (no landline), I was able to do a "Clear and Reset ...

hmm so if I added a drive to my series 2 and then took that drive away and now the original drive won't work, can I just reinstall the original disk image?

I made a backup using the MFSTools boot disc, but I don't think it worked. I did download instantcake-tcd540040-std.iso though, can I use that? Noob question: how do I load the disc image onto the original drive exactly?

You'll have a new contract once you open the box and activate the card. It does not matter what they tell you... you will get one.

There is no need for 4.0, if you have a legitimate purpose. Standalone Series 2s that used to run 4.01 can run the latest, which I think is 9.3.2c, and can take any rather recent image. DirecTV TiVos can, and I think need to run at least 6.3, and have some of the 4.01 features in it.

No help for mrhappysat? Oh, well. I'd probably pay $5 for the cake version but $20 is way too much. You can buy a replacement T60 on fleaBay for not much more than that. peace

Thanks. Mine self-reboots, but can't get beyond the (green) GSOD. Seems to be a different problem, most likely the HDD.
