Sansa Fuze + sync data

With rockbox installed, the connected pc could not see the content of the microSD card.
To get around that. You need to first power off the Fuze+. Then while holding the vol - button, connect the Fuze + to the PC. The PC will then be able to reconize the microSD as a removable disk.

Uninstall rockbox from Sansa fuze + (Plus)

1. Copy the original firmware (firmware.sb) to the root of the machine.
2. Power off the machine.
3. Hold down the vol - button.
4. plug in the USB cable to the PC.
5. The machine will boot up and update itself.
6. Unplugged it when done.
7. Restart the machine will boot back to the original firmware.

Sony Reader PRS-T1 Hack

The install process is pretty simple. I feel comfortable in suggesting that you try it and it looks relatively foolproof.

1. Download and unzip the hack from here. Look for one that says “package installer”; that’s what you’ll need in order to install apps.
2. Plug your T1 into your PC and put it in USB mode.
3. Find the folder for the hack and double click on flash_reader.bat. Read the prompts on the screen and respond.
4. Let the T1 sit until the software finishes installing. If successful, your T1 will reboot.

If it doesn’t work, you can ask for help here. BTW, if you have already hacked the T1 then you might need to install the restore firmware first. That will remove any remaining parts of the hack. If you don’t install the restore then the broken parts might hang around.

 Downgrade firmware

I followed the procedure described in this post and successfully downgraded from 1.0.07 to 1.0.05. You need to know a little bit of linux to know what to do if things don't go exactly as written. Let me quickly summarize what you need to do.

1. Flash restore-set to force the system to have v1.0.05. This is necessary because the rupore-rescue works on v1.0.05. The firmware will continue to read v1.0.07.

2. The rupore-rescue zip has two items; a folder "OS firmware" and a file called gserial.inf. Copy the "OS firmware" folder in the rupore-rescue zip to the root of your external SD card.

3. Turn off the device and boot into recovery mode (hold back and home buttons while the device is being turned on). The device wont be recognized. Go to device drivers, look for the device and use the gserial.inf as the driver file. Take note of the port number of the device (something like com18 or whatever). The device will now be recognized and you will be asked by windows whether you'd like to format the disk. Say no.

4. Open putty, change to serial, put in the port number and log into the device.

5. Type root and you now have root access to the device.

6. Mount the sdcard : mount -t vfat /dev/mmcblk0p1 /initrd/mnt/sd

7. Make a backup image of the internal storage (about 1.8GB) on the sd-card (takes about 10 minutes) : dd if=/dev/mmcblk2 of=/initrd/mnt/sd/mmcblk2.img

8. Take out the sdcard, put it in your phone or something else and copy the file mmcblk2.img to your computer.

9. Use a hex editor (I have editpad pro) and replace all instances of 1.0.07.05070 with 1.0.03.11140 (there are 3 of them). Save.

10. Copy the file back into your sdcard, insert into the reader.

11. Reboot the device back into recovery just to make sure that the reader has read the sdcard.

12. Now, restore the modified image : dd if=/initrd/mnt/sd/mmcblk2.img of=/dev/mmcblk2

13. Reboot the device (not recovery).

14. Run the 1.0.05 installer and you're done.

How to Connect Your Own Router to Telus Optik TV Actiontec Router

Just got Optik TV installed and Telus upgraded my Speed Touch modem with their new Optik TV Actiontec V1000H router. I had a Linksys E2000 all configured and really didn’t feel like switching so I wanted to hook them up. Unfortunately it is not just a matter of plug and play. You have to play with configurations.

1. Login to the Actiontec router admin panel at 192.168.1.254. The default username is admin and password is telus. Note the router will likely ask you to change the default password the first time around.
2. Disable the wireless by click on Wireless Setup and selecting “Disable” for Wireless Radio and clicking Apply. Note this step maybe optional. I’ll need to test that further.
3. Login to your own router and change the range of IP addresses to another range. 172.16.0.x for example. On the Linksys E2000, that’s right on the first page (Setup | Basic Setup)
4. Go back to Actiontec router admin panel and click on Firewall button at the top
5. Click on DMZ hosting on the left
6. Click on “Enable” on the Set the DMZ state section.
7. Enter the IP address chosen for your own router in step 3 above under “Select device”. Leave the pull down as “Manually Enter IP”.
8. Click Apply
9. Connect your own router to one of the regular ports in the Actiontec router. Don’t connect to WAN port.
10. Reboot your own router
11. You should be all set
