How To Add Tiers to an HU card.
Here is the step by step process to manually add tiers to your
subbed or cloned subbed card leaving the subbed tier information
undisturbed so they will not fall off.
1. Read and save your original bin in extreme 1.7x or greater.
2. Your epprom will still show in the epprom dump display.
3. Use the pulldown menu under VIEW, and take a look at "tier
data".
4. You will see all the tiers you sub to along with their expiration
dates. This info changes each month and is subscriber specific.
All subscribers are assigned one of 256 groups and each group has
unique sets of expiration dates and checksum numbers for every
possible tier. If that date or checksum doesn't match your group's
date for that tier, it will go down very shortly. This is why we
don't want to disturb them.
Unfortunately activation scripts replace all of them with their
own dates that rarely if ever match your group's data. We need to
add the non subbed tiers manually to the bin and write it back to
your card.
5. Next you need access to the latest tier list. Write down a list
of
the non subbed tiers you want to add. Let's use HBO for example.
I like to add 3 tiers for the same channels, as they get wiped one
at a time. This helps them stay up longer. In HBO's case, I'll add
3335,61FA, and 62BF. Do the same for all others you want.
6. Now decide what expiration date you want. This doesn't matter, but
the later the better within reason. Remember, once this date passes,
you will have to go and edit your bin with a new one. I like about
90
days ahead, so in our example, pick 06/15/2002.
7. In extreme under tools, open the date conversation utility. Plug
in
06/15/2002 and click on the = sign. You'll get a two byte code of
7DCF. Write this next to each of your new tiers, for example: 3335
7DCF,
61FA 7DCF, 62BF 7DCF.
8. You now have 4 of the required 6 bytes for each of your new tiers.
You now need to calculate the checksum bytes for each tier. Please
note, that the checksum generater is on the card, and each card
generates a different and unique checksum. You can not use a cloned
bin from one card and get the correct check sum from another card.
9. In extremeHU under tools, open the checksum calculator. You will
need your card in the loader as the calculator uses routines only
found on the card's rom. For each tier, enter the 4 bytes without
any spaces and hit return. The checksum for that one will be generated
in the message window of extremeHU. Write that down next to the
corresponding 4 bytes on you tier list. Example: 33 35 7D CF 2B 3C.
Remeber that this is only an example, the checksum you get will be
different. Repeat this until you have all checksums for the tiers
you're adding.
10.Open your saved bin in extremeHU and save it under another name.
11.Now you will edit your copy to add the new non subbed tiers to
your undisturbed subbed tiers, and then save it.
12.If you are not looking at the epprom dump, go to the pulldown menu
under VIEW, and select EPPROM dump. Place cursor in the data area
of the message window and right click. Select edit mode - on. You'll
notice the epprom data has changed in some areas. This is because
those areas are encrypted. They are decrypted in the edit mode.
13.The area you're interested in begins at address 2106-22F1. Look
at
address 2106. This is the first address of the first tier. If you
have had a sub located there and then later canceled it that address
may be 00 00 00. You may see the first of two bytes of your first
subbed tier. 2107 has the second, 2108 & 2109 are the expiration
date
bytes, and 210A & 210B are the checksum bytes. The next 6 bytes
are
your second subbed tier data, and so on. It is important to note
that the tier addresses are in six byte blocks. Once again the first
one starts at 2106, and the second one starts at 210C, the third one
starts at 2112,etc. You can see how this goes. You can not just add
new tiers any where in this area, they must start at, and end at
specific addresses. Using the large arrows to the left side of the
popup window of the edit line, scroll down until you come to bytes
containing 00. Make sure you have counted down by blocks of six bytes
for each block of tiers, so you can start from the correct place.
Then you may start to add your new tier info, just like the subbed
ones above.
14.Enter the data carefully one byte at a time until you reach the
end
of the row. Click on "write row" before moving on the the
next one or
the data will not be saved. Also you will not always end each row
with
the sixth byte of a tier, so remember where you left off when you
start the next row. Continue adding all your new tier data and recheck
as necessary.
15.When you are satisfied that your entries are complete and accurate,
close the editor and save your bin. Write this bin to your card, and
you're in business. Just re-write the bin when the non-subs fall off
below your comfort level.
I realize this is time consuming, but that is part of the fun. The
easy way would be to chip in with a couple friends for a platinum
sub
and clone it to all cards. Just do ppv wipes as needed.
Note:
Your subbed tiers will be updated monthly as their expiration
dates near. It is a good idea to read your card when refreshing the
bin to see just when this occurs. Just view the tier data after
reading. If they have been updated, go to the epprom dump, activate
the edit mode, and write down the tier data for each subbed tier.
You
can also cut and paste the data into notepad if you like. The go back
to saved bin you used to refresh the card and open that up. Edit the
subbed tier data on that bin and save it. Write this new bin to the
card and you are back in business.
Remember, that each card will generate a different checksum number,
so you can not use just any card to generate your checksum. Dave will
re-generate this checksum, from several times a day to several times
a month, the new number he gets will be stored on the card, this
how he knows if you tier is legit. I have updated the tier list, and
then read the card hours later, only to find the checksum has been
changed. If the tier hex, date hex, and checksum hex don't match,
you
don't watch TV.
I hope this helps. Enjoy.
