Was it sold to you as "Faulty"?

The System Id for the HDR-FOX T2 is 80BC.7E00. To stop people risking bricking their Humax unit by loading the wrong software the install process checks that the new software matches the unit's System Id. As yours is not correct it rejects the software update.

The only memory I have of anyone fixing something like this is with the FOXSAT units and obtaining an update file via myhumax.org that corrects it for those foxsat units

Possible someone may know of another correction routine that will works for the HDR=FOX T2, or you could try Humax support or myhumax.org to see if there is a System Id update file for the HDR-FOX T2..
 
It might be possible to create something that can be loaded using humidify.
From its help...
Code: 
pvr# humidify -c help
HDF Tool v1.0.4, by af123, 2011-2015.

Create takes at least three arguments:
   <output file>      The name of the file to create.
   <System ID>        Target system ID.
   <file1>            First file to include.
   [filex]...         Additional files to include.

System ID:
   A single hex number (up to 8 characters) or
   two hex numbers separated by a hyphen (-)
   indicating a range of acceptable system IDs,
   optionally as two 4 character hex strings
   separated by a . (the way Humax show them)

   Examples:
       80bc7e00
       80bc.7e00
       80bc7e00-80bc7eff
       80bc.7e00-80bc.7eff

  Additionally, if you wish to override the model number embedded in the
  final HDF file (defaults to 4) then you can put the required model number
  at the start of the system ID, followed by a :

   Example:
       3:80bc.7e00-80bc.7eff

File:
   A file to be added to the new HDF file.
   If the filename is of the format <index>.hdfbin-<type>-<address>.raw
   then the type and base address will be extracted from it, otherwise
   a file type of 1 with a zero base address will be used.

   These attributes can be overidden using the following format:
       <filename>:<type>:<address>
   Example:
       test.raw:1:1e00000
I have only ever created hdf files using the standard system ids but I wonder if an hdf created using a range would initially load and then allow firmware with the correct id to be loaded.

I used to fix this for users with PVR-9300T boxes which were prone to losing or corrupting the system Id. I was editing the header of the upgrade which for those units included the expected system ID.

ive emailed Humax hopefully they could help me out

I wouldn't hold your breath or expect a positive outcome from them, but do let us know if so.

I wonder how it got that system-id in the first place.
Does anyone think attempting a loader update first would help?
 
Right ive managed to change the System id with a file a member sent me at myhumax and managed to install the custom firmware

Unfortunately after reinstalling the firmware when turning it on it wont display a picture and would say on the TV NO Signal and enter some kind of boot loop also the hard drive would spin for a few seconds then stop

Anyone else had this problem?

Thanks

Was the HDR-FOX T2 retuned to your local transmitter before you first posted?
Is the message on the TV coming from the TV itself or the Humax?
When you initially boot up the Humax what are the various things that it displays on the front panel? (You may have to view it in the dark if the front panel has aged so much that it is extremely dim.)
It is possible that the custom firmware is attempting to fix what it thinks is an anomaly, although that is unlikely as it tries not to get into a loop when doing that. Or it could be a reaction to a corrupt HDD.

Try uploading a different version of the official software without custom firmware and see what happens and if you can use the HDR-FOX T2 raw.
For a recent version you could try 1.03.13

The file to reset the system ID could be usefully to other members, could you upload it to the forum so it can be made available via the Wiki ?

Making it that easy to get old of could be a bit dangerous. Someone could use it on an HD-FOX T2 and then not be able to recover.
 
I couldn't open the compressed file until I used non-windows extraction. It appears to be RAR compressed.
Is that common these days to give rar compressed files a zip extension?
 
Hi I had to change it from rar to zip to upload it as I don't have zip on my pc and I couldnt upload it as a rar file or as hdf file
