I first had a go at this about a year ago, got busy and stopped. Just picking it up again.
I am getting extremely confused as to what to do where on this hard disk.
I have two DIT9719/05 boxes here. One has both an NK.BIN and a ETC.BIN, the other has only an NK.BIN.
I chipped the one with the etc.bin. Tried to sort out what to change/edit/replace and got totally lost. I took the disk from the other and modded the NK.BIN as stated in the PDF.
I fitted 3 LEDs to the chip and when I apply power 18 lights followed by 17 and 19 then 18 and 19 go out leaving only 17 lit. Is this correct? I struggled to find the schematic with the LEDs shown and can't find anything that tells me what the LEDs should do.
With the modified disk from the non etc.bin box in the etc.bin box.
When I apply power, without an ethernet cable, it says "BT Vision, starting please wait" then shuts down. Standby light is flashing green. Pressing the stand by button (for about 5 seconds) I get an onscreen message " your set top box is experiencing difficulties" etc etc, NR01, with a phone number to call.
When I plugged in the ethernet cable and applied power then I got a message saying an update was available press OK to download, turned round to search the site for the message and it decided not to wait for OK and started downloading itself, stupid box. Now if I start with the ethernet cable in I get BT vision please wait followed by Error C02 restart homehub, etc etc.
So questions.
Are the LEDs indicating a correct boot of the atmega?
Do I need an ethernet cable plugged in?
Is it trying to install an update from BT or does the mod on NK.BIN stop that?
When these things update is it only the disk that updates or is flash updated in the box?
Will the disk from one work in another without modifications?
Where do I go now. Seems to me this box is changing from a doorstop to a shortly to be, flying brick following parabolic trajectory from the loft window to the railway line.
