hey im stuck.
I spend over 60 bucks on usb sticks and it isnt working right. Ive tryed to follow your instructions and it doesnt seem all that difficult. I must be missing something.
First of all i seem to have issue with certain .img files for patchstick. I am new at this and have been reading for like 14 hours now.
i have like 5 usb sticks around. one should work i suppose.
I can see it at the kernel and it is booting then it just stops toward the end. runing T2 2.2 update to the OS> if i restore it goes back to 1.0
i am issuing the following commands.
J is my volume and the dd.exe --list comand shows the following info. Harddisk1/Partition1
So here is what i am typing.
1. mountvol j: /D
2. dd.exe --list
3. dd.exe if=Patchstick.img of=\\?\Device\Harddisk1\Partition1 bs=1M --progress
It always shows Harddisk1/Partition1 BTW and Volume J for any removable drive unless i change the volume letter.
It says 500 in 500 / or 1011 in / 1011 out after about 3-4 minutes , I have both a 1gb and 512mb image. Not sure of the sources though.
Im trying a really am.
The most success ive had is it shows the kernel booting and then keeps showing a waiting line or something. yellow led on front of ATV just blinking at this point. Activity from the usb drive stops.
Do i have corrupt patchstick images. I can only find them on torrent sites etc.
This is stumping me. Ive done tivos , the xbox live installand other things with linux. but this i dont get.
I have a 2GB PNY Attache (reads)
2GB Sandisk Cruzer (reads)
4GB Sandisk Cruzer Reads i think)
2, 4 KGB Kingston MicroSD Flashes (Stopped trying)
