Am I not right in thinking that without af123, there wouldn’t even be custom firmware of any description, (and not only for the Fox T2 but also for the Foxsat)?
I just tried a forced reinstall of webif for you, but I’m still showing 1.4.3-3.
When I see it’s naturally updated to 1.4.4-1, I let you know what I find.
Trev, Now that you’re on top of it.... would it make a difference if you left the box on all the time? Believing that it’s the thermal and electrical stresses of powering up and down that cause things to break, I now leave HDR-Fox T2 on all the time: no automatic power down and both Power...
If nothing else, it won’t be time wasted. I learned a lot from my troubleshooting, whereas beforehand I was very unfamiliar with the developments of the CFW in the last few years. It was like starting from scratch. But the forums posts and Black Hole’s guides came in very handy...
I can’t be sure but it seemed to me that running fixdisk made the box very unstable; at times it crashed early on during boot up. Perhaps that’s because I should have run fixdisk through a Windows laptop rather than a mobile device, which would sometimes time out. But also the box would...
Looks like I went down the exact same route as you (right down to that manual intervention message - whatever that is!) about 3 weeks ago, I think I ended up wiping the hard drive using GParted in Ubuntu, and starting over again.
Why is that? Was Spinrite ever the magic tool that the testimonials Steve Gibson put forward claimed it was?
I gave up listening to Steve Gibson some years ago unable to work out whether he just liked the sound of his own voice, or if he was a snake oil peddlar, or if he was indeed some...
Job done. Many thanks. Not waiting ‘till Christmas. And on an iPad, Donations is clearly visible along the top. Can’t be doing my eyes any good, either, staring at an iPhone SE screen.
Yes, that’s it. Many thanks.
I agree: I’d far rather look at a desktop site and on a big screen, but for convenience, speed of boot, Firefox trying to start in Sandboxie, and not being held up by a screen saying Windows is updating and will need to reboot..... , the mobile device wins...
Thanks Black Hole. I can’t see it on my mobile device website. I’ll fire up the laptop tomorrow and look at the desktop website, something I haven’t done in years - literally!
Thanks for that.
Those “other settings” might be “trivial mods” but I’m in awe of what all the developers have done in bringing the CFW to its current state.
Each Christmas I send donations to the developers of the Asus Merlin router CFW, which I use. It would be nice if there was a similar donation system...
I presume marsha11 meant could the Power On/Off timers be included somewhere in the GUI, the boot settings being suggested because the Standby Power Saving and Auto Power Down settings are there.
I hadn’t realised. And a real pity. In that case I’m really fortunate: the Portal on my main HDR-Fox T2 is rock solid: never a problem watching iPlayer on it. That’s perhaps the main reason why I love the box: being able to get iPlayer on it. And record it, too.
