"Reset" firmware by replacing mainboard

Post by kumpelj »

Unfortunately I have a H-series TV with a non-rootable firmware version:(
Could it be possible to get a rootable firmware by replacing just the mainboard with another one (e.g. used on from a tv with broken screen) or is the firmware running on mutliple boards (i think there a a few within a modern tv) and every board has to be replaced?

Thx

Well it's quite expensive. Much better is to disable OTN Support. Do you have firmware version supports it ? :)
I do NOT support "latest fw" at ALL. If you have one you should block updates on router and wait for it to STOP being "latest":)
If you want me to help you please paste FULL log(s) to "spoiler"/"code" bbcodes or provide link(s) to pasted file(s) on https://pastebin.com Otherwise "NO HELP"!!!
If you want root DISABLE internet access to your device!!!!
DO NOT EVER INSTALL FIRMWARE UPGRADE !!!!

I'm interested in in replacing my mainboard to, BUT with a UE model. I have a UN (United States) for my UN60H7100. Anyone know if this is possible?

Probably, but hardware (especially tuner) won't be suitable to your region (DVB-T vs ATSC).

I didn't know that. Trying to add DVR function. I can't find a root for my model.

Thanks for the info

If one can work, it could be only that one:

It's worth the try :)
