Gday All,

This thread will serve as an investigation log for the DTL-T15000.

I've recently gotten my hands on the kit and considering the scarcity of information around it i figure it would be worth opening a dialog for myself and others to contribute to.

To start us off, you can find drive dumps from my kit in the below mega folder:

I have included both drive images and the r-studio recovery files to make life a little easier, i have also extracted a few packages of interest.

Points of interest:
diagversion: 4.1
diagrevision: 13

Both drives were Sony rebranded "Maxtor 4 D040H2" 40gb hard drives

The image has redhat linux 6.2 running dsnet 2.2.14.-5.0

The username and password "z" as used with the DTL-T10000 wont work for this image.

instead the username and password is "pz", this will drop you into the diag shell.

PC card in this unit is a PCI-815VE - http://lorezan.free.fr/ps2/PCI-815VE-MAL.pdf

If you ever take it apart, would be good to make some photos of all boards.

Before you try to flash ROM from 3.0.3 PS2SDK, it highly useful to backup your flash content before.
Dumping 2 Flash chip (dev1 and dev2) content (from PC on the same network with ds tool set):
Bash:
./dsidb
dsidb R> ow 0xBF801400 0x1E000000
dsidb R> ow 0xBF80100C 0x183F4F
dsidb R> bsave dev1_IDs 0xBE1F0000 0x00000080
dsidb R> bsave dev1_log.txt 0xBE1F0080 0x000000E0
dsidb R> bsave dev2_1.bin 0xBFC00000 0x00200000
dsidb R> bsave dev2_2.bin 0xBFE00000 0x00200000

dev2_1.bin and dev2_2.bin will be your Flash ROM content, one for WS mode, one for TOOL mode. These 2 dumps will be swapped according to the WS switch position.

dev1_IDs and dev1_log.txt will contain useful information about your specific TOOL revision like i.Link ID, MPU Board ID, etc.

Known account and password list, never see pz account before:
diagacctpassword
BP2DIAGqq
MPU4DIAGww
MIFDIAGee
DIFDIAGdd
SETDIAGss
AGINGaa
FINDIAGzz
SBCDIAGxx
VIFDIAGcc
ILINKSERVii
SBCAGINGvv
SBCAGING12v12v12
FLASHrr
IOPSELECTpp
DVDDIAGff
HDDUNIThh
ETHERnn
HDDAGINGhaha
DVDEMDIAGemem
EMFINDIAGezez
HDDSERVICEhshs
HDDCLRh0h0
MODEMHDDmhmh
MODEMmm
MODEMAGINGmama

It is also useful to provide diag version (from TOOL terminal):
Code:
diagrevision
diagversion
For example the latest diagrevision-diagversion I saw: 4.1-8
This information can be taken from HDD dump of course, but the terminal output is a faster way.
The more modern version you have, the less buggy will be your TOOL.

P.S.
I am still working on preparing diag update packages for TOOL, but it is harder then I thought. I was also working on some kind of PS2Ident for TOOL, at least some information can be retrieved but recognizing all the commands for each peripheral is a pain.

this is extremely helpful thankyou, i'll try dump those details shortly. i'm currently battling redhat trying to install some basic packages to make my life a little easier, looks like they cut the distro down even more than the redhat install on my DTL-T10000.

Incase its useful, i've packaged up the dsnet folders (/usr/local/sce and /usr/local/sony) https://mega.nz/file/3PoEgKBR#o1xEw9MBzqa4yGtfifD8frJ7lfUHK7MZ8gFvjWkrMFE

i'll make a link to the inital post as well.

ill get back with the other details in the next day, its almost 2am here atm

What program did you use to recover the RPMs? They are broken BTW, AFAIK.
Can it scan for all deleted files? I once used some such programs on Linux, but I don't have a Linux PC to run them on now, so if possible, can you run some program to recover all deleted files from all ext2 partitions if you have the means to?

I Used r-studio, these rpms were deleted files recovered by the software, the tar file they were in was partially intact and it didn't complain on extraction but beyond that I didn't test thr rpms thenself, they appeared in a few other places, I'll try upload all varients. I'll see if I can package the full extracted dump, might be easier

Oh, I thought you used rpm which were recovered from the devkit terminal (from the installed system). Those recovered files can be broken. Safer to recreate rpm packages from the installed system, however, I don't know how to perform this on the ancient RedHat with ancient rpm.

i'll try recover them like that, these came from the recovered files themselves. will have a play and see what i can retrieve. unfortunately im short on time during the week, the weekend im free (in lockdown again lol)

i dumped the flash, copied the files to mega under the flash_dumps folder

also

diagversion: 4.1
diagrevision: 13

Generating new rpms might be difficult i think the best approach would be if i tar them up as in this guide https://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/140778/how-to-build-an-rpm-package-from-the-installed-files

but ill experiment and see what i can do, probably wont be till the weekend though

Should I try this with my 10k
Bash:
./dsidb
dsidb R> ow 0xBF801400 0x1E000000
dsidb R> ow 0xBF80100C 0x183F4F
dsidb R> bsave dev1_IDs 0xBE1F0000 0x00000080
dsidb R> bsave dev1_log.txt 0xBE1F0080 0x000000E0
dsidb R> bsave dev2_1.bin 0xBFC00000 0x00200000
dsidb R> bsave dev2_2.bin 0xBFE00000 0x00200000
You can try this command set, but it is useful to run it from local pc connected to tool, not from the tool itself. But of course it is also possible to run it on the tool, but you need to transfer these files somehow from tool into the world after dump is complete.

Ok, so probably through dsnet. Its too bad that you can't just ftp to the system, it would make it so much easier.

The tool has an ftp client on it, you can ftp the files from the tool bsck to your machine if you can't get dsnet working on your machine, dsnet worked fine for me under Ubuntu 18 so you should be fine

I know that it is possible to somehow connect to devkit telnet session, but I don't know details.
These commands set are much better to be run from dsnet toolset from your PC. If you already flashed t10000-300.bin, previous flash content was erased.
