Remove Modified Firmware
THIS PAGE IS UNDER CONSTRUCTION
Why would I want to do this?
The Modified or Custom Firmware package is regarded as very safe to install and use, However, People feel safer installing ‘non standard’ firmware with the knowledge that it is possible to get back to the ‘Out of the Box’ configuration, Maybe when sending the unit back to the Supplier for example, I would suggest reading BOTH removal stages in order to decide which suits your requirements
So how do I do it?
There are two levels of removal that can be carried out they are :-
- Remove All Custom Functions and All Traces of Custom Packages
- Remove All Custom Functions Only
With Level 2 the Unit will perform exactly as it would ‘Out of the Box’ with the current Software, All Modified / Custom feature will be unavailable, However the new packages that were installed and any programs in the Virtual Disk will still be present on the Internal Hard Drive, If this is all that is required, then carry out only LEVEL2
LEVEL1
This procedure will remove ALL files created by the Custom Software including and programs stored on the Virtual Disk
Connect to the Humax Via Telnet, This can be achieved by running PUTTY on a P.C.
Enter the following commands in the Telnet (Putty) window :-
rm -rf /mod/*
/sbin/modinit
opkg update
rm -rf /mnt/hd2/virtual_disk
Now carry out LEVEL 2
LEVEL2
