1. Decrypting and Saving Original
  
  I *think* it's normal for manual decrypt to save a backup of the original, so I don't know why it wouldn't be doing that now. However, it's possible the setting for auto-processing has some influence, even for manual operations: WebIF >> Settings >> Auto-Processing Settings >> Create backup...

  Something could be preventing undelete working, you might need a reboot or a fix-flash-packages. Or perhaps it doesn't handle zero-length .ts vey well.

  You want to know what the problem was but you deleted the evidence? :sleep: Recordings do not only comprise the .ts file. The .ts may have been zero length, but the .hmt file still contained information. Sometimes a reboot works wonders, but could it be as simple as the disk being full?

7. Stuck RMA
  
  The usual problem is the UPD itself: if it is slow to start up after USB +5V comes online after boot, it misses the detection window for firmware update. Are you using UPDs you've used for firmware update before? I have one on reserve that is known to work. Modern large UPDs are much slower...

  No. From your own quotes: The CF firmware does not reside on disk, only the CF packages (which of course include the WebIF). Reinstalling the packages afresh is what's gonna fix your problem, which is due to the disk contents getting scrambled for one reason or another. WEBIF IS NOT THE CF...
