HR10-250, Samsung SIR-S4120R, SIR-S4080R, 2 Philips DSR704s (one connected to a Slingbox A/V). One box used the "Zipper"; rest used PTVnet to enable networking features.
I have been unable to turn off Encryption on my HR10-250 upgrade. I purchased a HDD2R-250000-PTVNET 35 HR Replacement Drive Kit with PTVnet. The installation went fine, networking is enabled. I have spent several hours researching how to disable the Encryption on my Tivo. I am using Tserver and TyTool. I am able to copy the .ty files to my Windows machine fine. I keep getting the following Tytools error when I try to Multiplex the file: "Sorry... Failed to get the first 10 initial chunks...". I went over to dealdatabase to found a couple of posts related to changing the tivoApp program, one from Alphawolf: http://www.dealdatabase.com/forum/sho... and another from ronMan: http://www.imbetterthanyou.com/hr10-250/. Both have slightly different codes that are supposed to disable the encryption. I tried AlphaWolf's 3.15f codes and ronMan's codes with the same end result. When I run ciphercheck from a telnet prompt, I am seeing that my newly recorded shows have Encryption still turned on, but the CSO set is now turned off. I saw some ohter posts related to this for series 6.x software, that mention running superpack (or something like that), I am running 3.15f, however, so I am not sure that I should run this. I am out of ideas, any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

I thought my message was posted to the board. I already reviewed and followed the directions listed on the link you gave. Can someone from DVRUpgrade verify that the offset and seek codes given for the 3.15f version of the software actually work? Seems like several other people are having the same problem that I am.

Have a look at this (it looks a bit more friendly than anything at DDB). I [currently] do not have an HR10-250, so I can't confirm any of the information there.

Thanks for the info. I am still having the same problem however, seems like my seek values are wrong for my version of the software 3.15f. I used a hex editor to verify my changes to the tivoapp file were sticking. I am out of Ideas. No one at PTVupgrade can be bothered to answer any of my emails about this specific problem.

From here:
With that said, almost anything on this board is fair game (extraction, etc.)

This can be done using publicly and freely available tools and utilities. This is something we are not directly supporting at PTVupgrade due to concerns by TiVo and the possibility of illicit redistribution of content. We know our customers well enough to know they don't do that sort of thing, but with that said, we don't want to get mixed up with it, either.

Actually, we've responded to all of your inquiries.
We can't help you with that. Its not our business and as Yog pointed out, there's a good reason for it. You can get what you want, just be patient, and read and eventually you'll figure it out.

I did the same thing you did. Eventually this is what worked for me. You'll need to start all over with a blank drive though:

I got my HR10-250 today; I hacked it right out of the box. Tomorrow, I should have some answers for you.

Thanks for the update. I finally was able to figure out the problem, and I was ultimately able to turn off encryption myself. As it turns out, for whatever reason, alpha-wolfs ciphercheck.tcl script returns incorrect results on 3.15f pre-loaded disk drives ordered from dvrupgrade. Whenever I ran the ciphercheck.tcl program after a reboot I needed to manually create the \temp\scrambletest directory in order for the program to return results without throwing an error (this is symptom of the problem). The offsets that alpha-wolf gave for the 3.15f were correct, but the ciphercheck.tcl wasn't showing encryption being disabled (even though it was actually disabled). The CSO set column appears to be showing the correct values, however. I was seeing a CSO off and an encryption ON. This shouldn't ever happen, based on what I have read so far. I finally just tried using TyTools to download the file again and try to multiplex the files. Eveything worked fine. My problem was that I was relying on the ciphercheck.tcl program to tell me if encryption was working. It was giving my false negatives. I found a thread somewhere over on dealdatabase after spending over 20 hours on this problem that mentions the same thing (I don't have the link anymore, however). There is apparantly a c version of the ciphercheck program that works properly.

P.S.
I had to use the tserver created by mnerd, the one referenced in the link given by DVRUpgrade doesn't work with the 3.15f version of their upgrade.

That was in the DDB thread referenced in my first reply.
Can't help you with any guides. But I will say that you shouldn't run ciphercheck.tcl as it's old/depreciated. Run the c version of ciphercheck as included with AlphaWolf's all-in-one utilities.
