[Ended][ROOT] H "Skype" root (FW<=Dec.2014, all T-GFS)

Factory reset needed then

[Algol]

I've done factory reset, followed rooting steps and I got root...partial only.
After rooting, TV works normally until I press Power off button on the remote. Then it starts not to respond until I unplug it from the wall. When I plug it - it's all over again - it's all OK until I press Power button. Than TV freezes on the selected chanell and doesn't respond to any command from the remote.

Just to mention, with the firmware 2130 Skype doesn't "behave" as with new firmware. With the old firmware, when I start Skype it's all OK until I want to close it. I click on "Stay connected..." or "Stay logged in..." and then Skype and all TV freez up and I can just unplug it from the wall. With the new firmware Skype works fine. That's just an observation I thought it could be useful to someone.

Thanx for help, but I'm giving up on this...
Yet another factory reset and tweaking all the stuff and that's it.
Bye!

Never give up , another rooting method remains (up to fw 2780, Skype not needed): https://forum.samygo.tv/viewtopic.php?f=70&t=9622

Oh, noooo!
I'll probably give it a try... tomorrow...

[sectroyer]

Yes but it's important to disable OTN Support ASAP & block updates on router

[zoelechat]

Who'd have guessed!

[Algol]

I've succeded by the Skype method, with the firmware 2120.0!
I have promptly installed libNoDRM.so so I finally can record DTV content without DRM - and that's exactly was my goal.
I've tried to reproduct those no-DRM videos in VLC player - and it works like a charm!

Now, what is the best app for lossless converting .srf files to .mkv?

Thanx, guys, for all of your effort to code all of this, there are lots of people in the world who are grateful for that!

Cheers!

[zoelechat]

Glad

Now, what is the best app for lossless converting .srf files to .mkv?

Well, quite offtopic here . MKV is only a container so it never needs any "conversion". Know that .srf recorded by TV are directly .TS simply if you change extension. If you really *need* mkv, you can use MKVtoolnix for example.

Thank you! I'll explore it a little more. Thanx!

Hello!
I tested to root my Samsung 40H7090 with firmware T-GFSDEUC 1300.2
I did all the step?s from the manual
(but can?t disable firmware updates in service menu because it?s grayed out and there is no Quickly Power OFF Samsung in General Settings)
So, i blocked the samsung update websites in the router.

After i started the samy flash utility the logfile screen shows the following:

(everythink ok)

After the TV started I have only access to port 3123 on telnet with the following:
/bin/sh: can't access tty; job control turned off

No access with port 23 with telnet.
and no access with ssh on port 22

any idea what?s the problem?
ps: tested it with lan and wlan
pss: I also used an second usb stick to record something in tv
