Install E2 on USB and leave dom untouched

[tul]

Ok Guys,

NOTE: Changing from opensat to e2 and the otherway around involves using AZUP everytime.

What do you need:
-1 usb of at lest 512mb (for e2, possible 256 will work)
-1 usb for putting patch bin

#####FIRST TIME FLASHING E2######
-Put e2 patch.bin on usb and put this in the upper usb slot
-Reboot your azbox and follow onscreen instructions to install upgrade. This will only install new kernel. When done reboot (leave usb stick in the slot)
-Once rebooted box will show rescue mode and IP. DO NOT USE AZUP NOW
-Attach usb stick for e2 now (521mb or larger).
-Telnet to your box and issue the following commands:

dd if=/mnt/root/patch.bin of=/mnt/root/patch_cramfs.bin bs=56 =skip=1
mkdir /PATCH
mount -o loop patch_cramfs.bin /PATCH
sfdisk -f -uM /dev/sdb < /PATCH/hda.out
mkfs.ext3 /dev/sdb1
mkfs.ext2 /dev/sdb2
umount /MMP
mount /dev/sdb1 /MMP
cd /PATCH
tar -cf - . | tar -C / -xpf -

-Now remove usb stick with patch.bin on it and issue the following command:

reboot -f

-This should boot e2 from usb stick.

#####GOING BACK TO OPENSAT SOFTWARE#####
-Remove usb stick with e2, and place usb stick with opensat firmware patch.bin
-reboot box
-Run azup on your pc, and enter rescuemode ip.
-Click update.
-When done, remove usb stick from receiver and reboot

#####Go from OPENSAT to E2 after going back to opensat software#####
-Put in usb stick with e2 patch.bin -> only this one
-Reboot and follow onscreen instructions to upgrade
-Switch usb stick for the one with E2 and reboot

This should be it!

Regards,

Tommy

thnx for this, just a little question thought coz you didnt mention that.

every time we revert to other firmware we need patch.bin of destination in the slot? right?
