Just wondering if anyone has tried a factory restore AFTER updating to Take 2? I have a hacked unit and if I don't realize any benefit over the hacks I'd like to be able to revert back to my current setup. I'm at work now so I can't try it yet.
Got a tip for us?

Factory restore back to 1.0?

Your original partitions should still be on the drive, unless Take 2 does something weird. When you download the Take 2 updater to a Mac and mount it, the only image is OSBoot. It looks like it will leave all other partitions alone (again, unless it does something weird on reboot).
Okay thanks for the reply. If I don't get a firm confirmation by the time I get home I think I'll take the risk anyway.
For anyone still wondering, factory restore does in fact revert you back to whatever firmware your unit shipped with.

tv shipped with 1.0, and you've already updated to 2.0, you're either stuck with 1.0 or 2.0. I personally don't know of a way to get back to 1.1, unless you can find the download somewhere, remove your drive and update it that way. 😕
