Use a program like flashedit and create a new EEPROM file for your unit. Inside
the program you with put the build code that matches your stickers on the system
board. The first three letters of your build code have to match and put A in
the 4th spot. IE on my board I had DCED as build code on the sticker and when I
created anew one from flashedit I entered DCEA as the new code.
mattweedmark <mattweedmark@...> wrote:Hi All,
I have been digging through the many helpful posts here in an effort
to gather enough information to replace the dead HD in my BEV 5100.
So far, I've purchased a new HD from the BEV support HD list, zeroed
the drive, purchased a quad mode JTAG and (after much fighting to get
a connection) have saved the Flash-1, Flash-2 and EEPROM files. From
there I used the 5100 upgrade instructions found in the files section
and have created a new Flash-2 file and EEPROM file. Now is where I
have run into difficulties...
I have copied the 'virgin' Flash-1 and newly create Flash-2 back to
the 5100, but when I try to copy the EEPROM back to the system, I get
a lag in the write followed by an error saying that it couldn't write.
I am wondering if this is an issue with the 'virgin' firmware that I
used. Following the instructions, I downloaded the file from the link
"PVR50x-15BB-DCKA-10S-P063-UZ.zip". In the document, the author used
the "DP501-10S-P063-15BB-DCEA-FLASH-2.bin" file. Does the DCEA
portion of the file name correspond directly with the sticker on the
board of the PVR (he makes note that his is DCEA in the document)?
If so, then I can't seem to find the correct 'virgin' firmware for my
system as the sticker on my board reads 'DCFD'. If this is my only
issue, can someone direct me to a place where I can find the correct
firmware?
Alternatively, can anyone tell me why I'm having the troubles writing
the EEPROM? It doesn't appear to be a connectivity issue as I can
still go back and forth detecting the box without an issue.
As a side note, there is mention of erasing the EEPROM using the Flash
Programming portion of JKeys, but I have not been able to figure out
where this is done. Could this be my issue as well?
I really appreciate any assistance any of you may be able to provide.
Thanks,
Matt

Not quite sure what you are saying about "upgrading" your 5100. We
normally think of upgrading as going to a larger hard disk, but you
mention a 34098H4 which I thought was a 40gb.
Anyway, Red and Green lights on is normally a hardware issue with the
receiver. Did you jumper OJ1 to do your JTAG access? If you didn't
remove that jumper, you'll have the red-green situation you currently
see. The problem could also be with a corrupted TSOP. To check that,
erase both of your Tsops and then restore your original image back to
Flash 2. If your PVR now works, then your Virgin Tsop image was
probably corrupted.
If you decide to use the P079 virgin firmware (this version supports
120gb disk), be sure to select the "Moved boot" option since the boot
loader for this firmware is relocated from the P063. After updating
your flash with your boxkeys and receiver ID, be sure to set your
correct build config ID ending with "A" (DCED should be set as DCEA).
Also click the CRC box to get a valid CRC value calculated. Be sure to
save this as a personal dump, which keeps your receiver ID info in the
image.

Subject: Re: [dishmod] Bev 5100 40 ->120 gig. firmware version?
I haven't tried Bev, but with Dish, the best firmware for 501/508 to 510
upgrade is P079. The P063 doesn't recognize the 120gb disk. And the
P080 gave me errors, such as "smartcard not inserted correctly". But
the P079 works every time. With a 501 (DCED), I created the flash using
the "moved boot" option. For a 508 (DC3D) I used the same P079 but
chose the "moved irdinfo" option in Flashedit since the 508 has GT
chips. For marrying a new disk to a 510 though, the P080 is the best.

Subject: Re: Added new howto to /files/Tutorials/
Date:
I started looking through your tutorial and saw a few things you
might want to correct to avoide confusion.
PVR - This stands for Personal Video Recorder. You call it a DVR.
While it may be essentially the same thing, the acronym would be DVR
rather than PVR. Since the Dish recorders are known as PVRs then you
should probably stick with the correct nomenclature.
Dish Explorer - There has already been at least one post by another
newbie looking for this program. The correct name is PVR explorer
(again with the PVR).
Compatible models - PVR Explorer will work with the 501 and 508 Dish
PVRs in addition to the 510.
MPEG files from a Dish PVR - While they are not specifically DVD
compliant, they are close to the same spec for SVCD discs, which is
probably why most current DVD players have no problems playing them
back.
VideoReDo - While it does correct timestamp problems in Dish PVR
mpegs, the problem doesn't usually manifest itself until you edit the
file and cut out chunks of video, resulting in missing time segments
in the overall stream. VideoReDo fixes these errors automatically
when the file is remuxed after editing out unwanted segments. If you
are not editing the file then there is no need to fix timestamp
errors as they should (usually) be fine as is.
PC operating system - XP is not the only OS you can use with PVR
Explorer. I use Windows 2000 and it works just fine. I suspect
Windows NT would also work but most people have migrated to newer
OSes by now. Basically any Windows OS that supports NTFS file
systems should work.
DishMux - You make no mention of this program which is essential if
you want to mux the output of the hard drive to mpeg files. This
program needs to be installed in the same directory as PVR Explorer.
There's a check box in the options window of PVR Explorer that allows
the files to be muxed automatically after they're extracted. Once
they've been muxed you can edit them with VideoReDo quite easily.
Otherwise, they can be importedinto any number of DVD authoring
programs like DVD-Lab or TMPGEnc DVD Author.
DVD Decryptor, DVD Hive, and Oscar's File Renamer - Not sure where
you came up with these programs but you can eliminate the need for
them simply by getting a copy of DVD-Lab. Any DVD burning program
should work for creating the final DVD as it does not have to be
an "image" pe se but a set of DVD compliant files (VOBs, IFOs, and
BUPs) inside of a VIDEO_TS folder.
You don't need to create an image file and renaming the shows is as
simple as right-clicking on the file and calling it what you want.
When you save the mpeg in VideoReDo after performing your cuts (you
make no mention of editing with VideoReDo which happens to be it's
greatest feature) you can rename the file in the Save as window.
While I applaud your attempts at putting together a tutorial for
newbies since nobody else has taken the time to do it, your process
is a bit out of the ordinary and actually more complex than it needs
to be. There have been numerous posts about using VideoReDo and DVDLab as being the programs of choice for creating DVDs from Dish mpegs
so I am at a loss as to why you went the route you did. I would
definitely not list this process as the method of choice but rather
an alternative to the one that's tried and true using DVD-Lab,
VideoReDo, and Nero.
