So today while I was testing Stephen's patch, I ctrl-c'd a config update in the middle of erasing the config. This left the remote in a state in which the get_identity() calls could were failing. As such I could not being a config update again, or a firmware update, or anything else. I tried booting into safemode, and still no-go.
I was, as I always am, able to connect my remote to my mac, and use the official software to do a firmware upgrade, and a config update, and my remote was back to normal. My guess is that the official software has either some way of getting the minimal identity data from the remote in the event it can't get all the data, or perhaps some backup way of requesting the data in the event the main method doesn't work. I'm heading out for some good ol' fashion birthday drinking, so I don't really have time to look into it, but if someone wants to reproduce this and send me some USB dumps of what the official software does, it shouldn't be too hard to reproduce this... -- Phil Dibowitz [EMAIL PROTECTED] Open Source software and tech docs Insanity Palace of Metallica http://www.phildev.net/ http://www.ipom.com/ "Never write it in C if you can do it in 'awk'; Never do it in 'awk' if 'sed' can handle it; Never use 'sed' when 'tr' can do the job; Never invoke 'tr' when 'cat' is sufficient; Avoid using 'cat' whenever possible" -- Taylor's Laws of Programming
