"No magazine" message

[beckfield]

I have an '03 Jetta with a working Phatbox 20GB DMS.

I ran the DMSHack.bat from c:\dmsutils, and it appears to succeed.  Booting the PB with this, I get the "No magazine" message on the head unit.  I checked that the lights on the PB were flashing once I turned on the HU, but I think they stop once the HU decides there's no magazine.  I have left the DMS in the box for as much as 20 minutes anyway, just in case, but no joy.

I have done the following:
1.  Renamed ramdisk.sig to .bak, replaced it with a renamed copy of phatd.sig.
2.  Renamed the bootload.log.

Neither of these steps has made a change.  I looked around for other ideas.  I found the "genesis" method, but it starts out "If the box is patched..." and I don't think I've gotten that far yet.

Restoring the original ramdisk.sig and running patchclean.bat restores my DMS to normal.

I'm not sure what else to try to get the patch to actually run.

Any ideas?

Oh, my bootload.log shows the following:
BOOT0-0: OK
BOOT0-1: OK
BOOT0: Successful
BOOT9: Successful
BOOTB: Successful
BOOTF: Successful
BOOT*-X: Failed

Thanks,
Ken

So your DMS works after patchclean is run?

So your DMS works after patchclean is run?

Yes, and having restored the original ramdisk.sig.

what does the patchverify.log have in it?

[beckfield]

what does the patchverify.log have in it?

Oh, sorry, I meant to mention that.  The patchverify.log was not created.  That was part of the reason I'm assuming that the patch was not run.  The log folder was created, but no files in it.

I would extract a copy of the firmware files onto phtsys and remove the forceupdate and forcesettings files after you extract them and see if it boots.

Did that, and it boots fine.  But it was booting before, as long as the patch wasn't applied.  I re-applied the patch after extracting the firmware, and I still get the "no magazine" error.

Okay, a little more progress:

I realized that, after extracting the firmware files to the DMS, I forgot to replace ramdisk.sig with the copied/renamed phatd.sig.  So, I did the following:

1.  Extracted the firmware to the DMS.
2.  Renamed ramdisk.sig to ramdisk.bak, copied phatd.sig to my hard drive, renamed it to ramdisk.sig, and copied it back to the DMS.
3.  Deleted bootload.log (I have a previously-created bootload.bak).
4.  Put the DMS in the Phatbox and turned it on.

I again got the "no magazine" message.  In frustration, I hit the seek buttons a couple of times.  This seemed to be significant, because the track timer began rolling, and I watched it for about 10 minutes.  I turned off the stereo and went inside, leaving the DMS in the PB.  About 30 minutes later, I went back out and turned on the HU.  The track timer began counting again, picking up where I left it, at 10 minutes and change.

The lights on the PB were on as long as the HU was on.  The red was steady, and the green blipped about every 5 seconds.  Turn the HU off, and the PB lights go off.

As the Phatnoise manual says that the firmware update will continue I surmised that it had had plenty of time to complete the patch, so I turned everything off and brought the DMS back to the computer.

There is now a patch.log in the log folder, and the contents are below.  There is no patchverify.log.  Do I need to give it more time?  How long should this patch take?

That says it's patched...

You should not replace the ramdisk.sig if you have a DMS that is working with the valid ramdisk.sig -- that should ONLY be done when nothing will work with a valid ramdisk.sig... but somehow it appears that your patch did apply

Ah, alrighty then!

I'll put the correct ramdisk.sig back in place, run patchclean, and then wait for the parts for the new DMS to arrive.

Thanks for the help!

Success!  I am loading up my new 120 GB DMS as we speak.  I've already tried it in the car, and it works just great.

Thanks for all the help, and for putting this process together.
