Motorola Vip1216 Hacking
The existing drive was 250GB not 160GB. Walk Thru of upgrading the internal hard drive of a U-Verse DVR.
Ssh, don’t wake him up;-) Think about it, it was a win-win situation They made a bunch of boxes and then one of the higherups tells them to only give 1 dvr per household. So they just pull the plug, easy as pie. They just stock them ready to go, then if someone orders 2 they pop it open and pull the plug. But that isn’t the only good thing, they knew it would get hacked uber fast, which will encourage people to buy their units so they can get dvr in every room and possibly even be able to upgrade super easy i would buy that over some locked down piece of shit.
Remember, dug, saying the name three times causes him to appear. Anyway, this hack just made me smile! Nothing like uncrippling a device with a mere minute or two of work.
How sweet it is! Though personally I’d probably just pull the drives my local file server is so close to the 1 TB line that it’s killing me! As for whether its a hack or not sure its simple but it changes the normal functioning of a manufactured device if that isn’t a hack I don’t know what is. Then again, it’s not the kind of hack that will get you props from your friends.

Wow you gotta love when companies take for granted that the people using them will have no technical knowledge. They had to figure someone would crack it open sometime. The sad part is that for the most part they are right, people would have no idea. Anyway works out better for us in the know.
Btw if everyone is so bothered by steves comments so much (which btw im not because even if i was i could always just skip over them) then why does everyone mention him so much. You know it will just encourage him to post more. This is crap!
I was expecting a simple 3-step hack that I could do, but instead he’s got all these extra hidden steps. I mean, get a screwdriver and unplug your box, that’s at least two steps if not more. Unscrew 6 screws and take off the cover? Who in their right mind can claim that’s the same step. It’s just too complicated.
How did he even figure all this stuff out. That’s why hacking is reserved for the esoteric world of teenagers and electrical engineers. I’m going back to play with my dolls.
Ok, for all you dumbies, this hack was probbably more useful than 90% of the hacks on here (i’m not bashing elliot, or the people) because so many people would have DVR’s at home, sure I dont, i’m aussie, so why dont you wankers keep complaining? Hi Fragged, Interesting. I must be missing something. I’m in Australia and I have a Legend LPVR250. I wouldn’t have called it a cheap dvd recorder with tv tuner.
No dvd recording facilities though. It has two digital tv tuners which records to the HDD in a quite satisfactory(to me) MPEG format.
The downside for me at the moment is that the USB is only of version 1 type speed and takes ages to dump the movie/clip/show to my PC. I have tried removing the HDD from the box and adding it to my PC, but is in a format unknown to the PC. That strikes out FAT/NTFS. I have yet to take the HDD to work and try it on one of the MACS and see if it is HFS/HFS+(though I doubt it) alternatively I should try and see if it is a linux filesystem.
At the end of the day, I just want a faster way of getting the files onto my computer. Someone said:—. At the end of the day, I just want a faster way of getting the files onto my computer. Posted at 9:37 pm on Aug 10th, 2006 by gr8m8 HEy, try using a Slax linux liveCD and try mounting the drive in slax. Then tryusing the HDPARM command tosee whats up with the drive?
Goto the vendors site. Like if its a WESTERN digital drive they have some bad ass simple tools for copying /cloning and wiping the drive on their site. That would allow you to see what format it is.
OR try going to ISOhunt.com finf a torrent for ACRONIS disk director suite.v10 it has and can give you alot of usefull info from the drive. Including cloning to another bigger drive and now having more space!!!!!!!
