Hi All,
A similar scenario has been posted before, but the solution was not shared publicly, so I'm seeking new advice. I'm selling a series Tivo HD unit (TCD652160) that was upgraded to 1TB by its previous owner. I copied all of my content off and then ran a Clear Everything & Delete (now regretting that choice). The Tivo is now stuck on the Almost There screen. I've unplugged, and restarted, ran the S.M.A.R.T. test with no errors. I tried smart codes to reinstall software with no success.
As I am not the first owner and don't have the original pre-upgrade hard drive, I haven't been able to follow the upgrade procedure to reinstall the software on the 1TB drive.
Does anyone have a solution? Is there someplace I can download a backup image of an original HD hard drive so that I can reformat the 1TB drive? Would that even work since it wouldn't be the image for THIS unit? Or is there another (hopefully easier) solution?
Thanks in advance
