How do you upgrade the TIVO OS..
How do you upgrade to a later version? I assume you can copy the files and reboot (upgrade) rather than loose everything by formatting and starting over again!! Considering I got 70 hours of stuff that is not an option for me.
I have a TIVO running OZTIVO image, I assume its a 3.00, I got this file out of /dev/build-version
b-3-0-mr @81771 2002.05.08-1537 release-tivo1 BROADBAND BROADBAND_BACKDOOR COMPACT_LAYOUT DB_CHANNEL_FROM_URI DB_SECURITY_POLICY_QUERY DCT_SERIAL DEVENV_AVR DEVENV_MIPS DEVENV_PPC DEVENV_X86 DIRECTV DSS_SERIAL IRBLAST MACROVISION NIELSENLOGGING PERF_LOGGER STANDALONE STRONG_CRYPTO T2KSOURCE US_CABLE_AUTO_DETECT
3.0.S7a-01-1 3.0-01-1
Is there a command you can run in telnet spitting back the version?
I downloaded the files on http://minnie.tuhs.org/TiVo/files/im..._to_1.2.tar.gz
It basically contains only a few files. I carefully compared the dates and renamed the origional ones and copied new ones over in binary, chmod to 755. I did not copy the cachecard, etc as I have a later driver already.
Interestingly enough in /hack a file named
updatedtv.tcl
just turned up! There was already there a updatedtv.217. So I gave updatedtv.tcl a chmod 755 but cant execute it (file not found).
My question is how do you upgrade from one version to a later? The changes I read from 3.0 to 3.2 are only a few files. I would assume the updatedtv has to be executed to comeplet the install?
Also does the origional file /dev/build-version have to be now modified to reflect the correct version?
Any help appreciated..
Why do you want to upgrade ??
Providing that you have one of the OZTIVO emulator images then there is no need to do a full upgrade.
There have been a number of incremental fixes that have been introduced each of which can be performed manually (i..e files replaced or edited)
Ed did provide an update from RC1 to 1.2 however the 1.2 image in general was found to have a number of issues that were forcing TIVOs to lockup.
1.3 is the current version - however if you search the mailing archives you can find the changes between versions (i dont believe a diff file has been created) and implement these yourself
