Accidentally installed DTivo Flash to UK Tivo

While installing TurboNet:
I've accidentally installed the DTivo flash and booted the Tivo up. It looks like the update succeeded because the Tivo no longer works. Now it boots and gives the 'starting up, please wait' screen at NTSC resolution then goes no further.

How can I correct this?

Cheers,
Chris.

That can not be good :o

There is an extreamly slight chance that you can use a DTivo image and set the boot options for bash and not to boot.

Otherwise you need a heat gun and a flash programmer :(

Thanks for the reply.

Fortunately, I was lucky enough to fix it by swapping the kernel to the old one and booting the Tivo again. Maybe the flash didn't occur after all.

Everything is working fine again and next time I will RTFM.
