Hi All,

it is possible to do a Backup of /dev/tbml8 and /dev/tbml9 or rather /dev/tbml10 and /dev/tbml11 Partitions from one TV and flash this on another TV?

I guess yes if they have same model and firmware.
This could be crucial on CI+ models because of authld.

My problem is, i've flashed my /dev/tbml10 and /dev/tbml11 Partitions with 3000 FW by Hand, this cause the Problems with the authld.
On my /dev/tbml8 and /dev/tbml9 Partitions i have the 3001 FW that i've flashed by TV internal flash routine.

I'm seraching for a way to revert my FW back to the good one with PVR Function.

Oops. :(
That come in my mind, even you have chance of successfully recover your partitions.

You needed to try external boot with USB Flash. Once you booted older version via externalUSB, I guess you can update your TV flash from std menu.

Also this might help:

Hi Erdem,

I thought usb boot method works only on non CI+ TVs isn't?

It sounds good that some people works on deactivate or to fool the authld.

It works on CI+ devices too. I think authld don't kill us if you boot external linux kernel because there is no authld on kernel ;)
But don't know exact instructions about it.
