Audi Symphony wont recognize Phatbox.

[VorTechS]

Ahhhhh, that might explain things - I've made a note of that

The file shouldn't be empty.  Perhaps I've fixed in the version of the tools I'm trying to patch up now.
Hopefully we'll get a bit more once you have copied another file over....

[rjw75]

Next I deleted the bootload.log file, then copied and re-named the ramdisk.sig file as bootload.log

[rjw75]

OK. finally moving on... this is the re-named file as requested.

[rjw75]

and finally after trying the DMS in the car here is the result.

[rjw75]

Hi, just wondered... does "BOOT0-2 Failed" mean the signature is missing??

[VorTechS]

Run the bootcheck process again on the DMS tools now there is a valid file.

[rjw75]

This is what happened when i did a boot check.

[rjw75]

This was the logs when i clicked the details button...

See the end of this message for details on invoking
just-in-time (JIT) debugging instead of this dialog box.

[VorTechS]

Doh!  Let me see if I can dig out the reason in source...

[VorTechS]

                               Case "0-2", "0"
                                   knownPoint = "Verify drive signature"
                                   knownCause = "Drive signature not present, or not valid"

Could you send me that copy of the bootfile you have please?  I presume you haven't amended it from what as generated by the Phatbox?

[rjw75]

This is the file which the phatbox generated..... we havn't modified this file since it was removed from the car.

[rjw75]

Is that the file you meant?

[VorTechS]

Yup, thanks - I want see if I can work out why the application crashed reading it....

So yes, in case you haven't realised you need to get the box hacked or a new original DMS

[rjw75]

Please forgive my ignorance but can you give me step by step instructions on how to hack the DMS I have using your program. We have tried various combinations but arent 100% sure what we are doing.

[VorTechS]

Do you have another drive to use?  Because the drive you are trying to get to work won't be able to run the hack.

You have to use an original DMS that has it's drive signature intact, and the one you've been trying to get working doesn't.

[rjw75]

No I dont have another drive.  Long shot but my laptop has the original back ups from using Music Manager, this wouldnt have the files needed on it would it?  My laptop has died but the drive is oki, so if need be I can ge tthe info from it.

[VorTechS]

Unless you ever ran the DMS tools to do a backup, or ran through the hack process before the drive was toasted, then no.
I can put you onto a man for a new drive though ... ?

[rjw75]

I never ran said program as I didnt know it exsisted til my Phatbox spat its dummy out!  Please if you could.
