Hey All;

I currently have PTVnet running on a 3.11e Dtivo. Id like to have the tivo upgrade to the 6.2 software (I have the PTVnet RC1 ISO)

Now ive been trying to find info on the Flag settings so I can do a call and allow the update... kept searching but I did not find the exact info

do I need the flags ON or OFF? abd is the following correct for switching the flags

Telnet to tivo and do a "flag_swap phone" and "flag_swap update" is that correct

any help is appreciated

thx!

Please see this thread for an example of how flag_swap was used in conjunction with the latest version of PTVnet 6.2 to upgrade from 311e:

Right... I did read his thread before, just wasnt sure of the ON / OFF status if ON means I can do updates and call or if OFF is what I want

I did the aforementioned and here is the result ---

flag_swap PHONE
Phone is already set to OFF. Now setting it to ON

flag_swap UPDATE
Creating UPDATE and setting it to ON...

You've got it right; also remember to go into to your phone dialing options and make sure that there are no *# characters in the dialing prefix.

Lastly, remember that you will need the latest version of PTVnet 62 once your unit is upgraded; the version you have won't work with 6.2

Also, if you get an error that says "cannot find software version" you will need to ctrl-c to break into the script and then type "PTVnet force" and that should work.
