A couple of weeks ago I re-installed MyStuff and the firmware on our TF5810 using Geoff's installer.
I would like to add the patches U and Uu to the firmware, but I have forgotten how to do it Embarassed

. The links to HDFW V2 and FWPatcher are now dead.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks

Section 13 of this post might give you a clue if the relevant files are included in the installer...

Download R2-D2's Dark Side of the Matrix PatchPack2 and unzip it.

Copy the [U] UsbAcceleratorPatch_01.tfp and the [Uu] USBUpload.tfp patches to the toppy (store in \ProgramFiles\InstallerFirmware\Add)

Using the remote, press < (between << and >>)
Press Archive (to get Native Archive)
<< Display ProgramFiles
Scroll down and select/OK Utilities
Scroll down Utilities and select/OK on FwLoad

A long time ago, I did experiment with putting patches into TM but there are so many of them that I gave up (I should probably just have concentrated on these 2!)

Thank you for your suggestions.
I gave it a try, but I'm not getting anywhere.

@Geoff
I've got copies of U and Uu from when I installed them a few years ago, but I haven't got the folder ProgramFiles\InstallerFirmware\Add on the Toppy, so I don't know how to proceed Crying or Very sad

.

I'm missing something (don't say it Rolling Eyes

You should have that folder on the toppy.

Did you use the current GCBMyStuffInstaller ?
Did you choose option 1 and say yes to everything
Do you still have the log files that it created? (one is designed for pasting on the forum)

I used GBCMyStuffInstaller110 Geoff, choosing option one and saying yes to everything.

The log for when I installed the firmware has been overwritten by the log when I tried again without firmware. This is the latest log:

Congratulations on your successful installation of MyStuff and it's associated
TAPs and/or firmware.

Although the toppy has been instructed to reboot, it may be necessary to do this
manually (switch to Standby and back on again).

New (and existing) users are strongly recommended to read the manual at
http://www.toppy.org.uk/~chunkywizard/MyStuff65Manual.pdf.

Hi Geoff

I've just noticed that U and Uu are on my signature, but that was from before I started the re-installing. They aren't there now. I'll update my signature later.

Do you really need them?

Option 2 doesn't provide the patches so the directories won't exist unless they were already on the disk (and I think you say you reformatted it.

Suggest you rerun the installer and choose option 1. It will only add the missing files to the toppy (any that already match the kit i.e. most of them will be untouched

I think the OP used option 1 the first time, and then reran without the firmware, so \ProgramFiles\InstallerFirmware\Add should still exist?

Probably not, but I wanted to get back to where I was before.

@Geoff

I did as you suggested and the patches are now installed.

As ccs said, I re-ran MyStuff installer without the firmware, but I re-formatted the HDD first. The idea was to have a fresh start, but in retrospect it was a daft thing to do.

Thanks again to both for your help.
