On boot, my HDR FOX T2 displays the following. That is on every boot, I end up back in standby.
Sometimes the final display is the clock rather than "WAIT - 51". Needless to say, I cannot telnet into the box.

Custom FW 2.21

My machine is about a year old and had been running 1.02.32/2.16. I noticed 197 + 198 errors on the web interface disk diagnostics, so tried a fix-disk. Didn't solve the problem so I updated to 2.21 and tried again. Still didn't cure the 197 + 198 errors. From memory, LBA2016 was first error, and fix-disk was complaining that one of the partitions (sda2?) was an unrecognised partition type. So, tried searching the forum and following some threads (sorry, cannot remember which) ending up with a point where I powered down the box via the remote expecting it to re-boot into maintenance mode. On boot, the above symptoms appeared.
Things have tried to solve the problem :
(1) Install official firmware. Box boots fine and works fine (including recordings + playback) apart from the humax disk check says "error 8".
(2) Reformated hard disk (via Humax's menu). Yes, I lost all my recordings (divorce pending!). No, it didn't solve the problem.
(3) Installing various different official firmware version to try force a "full re-write" of the internal flash.
(4) Re-install custom firmware. Each time, symptoms re-appear.
Is my box destined to never run the custom firmware again?![Eek! :eek: :eek:](/forum/styles/default/xenforo/smilies/eek.png)
Is the file causing the problem(?) on the hard disk? (I could remove disk and re-format in a PC?).
Thanks
