Manual flashing for the MVP
Prerequisites:
- Need to be running a firmware from b-rad before update
- Locate the firmware here (temporary path): http://downloads.wdlxtv.com/mvp/
- mvphd-tip.zip is for USB flash
- sata-tip.img-squashed.gz is for SATA flash
- Unzip the file to the root of your USB drive. You should get at least mvphd.md5 and mvphd. The filesystem of the USB drive can be anything (FAT, Ext, NTFS).
- Loop-mount the firmware inside the MVP
mkdir /tmp/temporary_mount mount -o loop,ro /tmp/disk/USB/disk1/mvphd /tmp/temporary_mount/
- Manually flash the kernel
dd if=/tmp/temporary_mount/zbimage-linux-xload of=/dev/sigmblockd
- Invalidate the root filesystem
dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/sigmblocke bs=1024 count=1
- Reboot with the USB drive attached. Your only indication of progress is the USB light blinking (there is no signal with the progress onscreen). Be patient as it will take a while.
- Profit
