[ROOT] Rooting E/F on latest firmwares

[RadMyRad]

@radmyrad

I had the same issue with the missing apps.
Activate automatic app updates in more apps options (NOT firmware update!)
Smart hub reset
Reboot and wait some minutes
Smart hub removes obsolete apps and downloads a full set of new apps- including Samsung apps.

I had to do factory reset too, but only smart hub should do it.

Thanks for trying to help alexhe, unfortunately this didn't solve it for me.

After searching different forums I have found that this is a pretty common problem and it looks like it's Samsung's servers that are the culprit.
Some people report they had to wait a month until the apps magically appeared again.

I have reset Smarthub so many times now and tried so many different configurations on Network/TV etc.. so I think I'll give up. I'll try to contact Samsung support and see what they say, I still have warranty but I guess it will not be worth much if they find SamyGO on the Smart hub.

Well, I'm not a professional, but before loosing warranty you maybe wanna try a factory reset. I uninstalled many of the apps and once lost Samsung apps too. After factory reset it always installs all apps again, including Samsung apps.

Well.. if OTN means firmware updates, thats disabled.
...if it means app updates, thats disabled too.
Data service is off either.
(and I tried different combinations on/off of above)

and as jkarl said, the my-programs-tab is a prob for him, I kicked it too.

I installed samyGo MST-Fix again, everything OK except Samygo1.txt, Samygo2.txt and rcSGO.
Reboot, waiting, start browser, waiting,
No root/no ftp.

Thats disappionting...
I'm beginning to think that MST-Fix works for many models, but not for my UE55F6500

I had to also install problems the MST-Fix !!!!
But I then formatted the USB stick with FAT and suddenly worked the ftp access! I guess for me the problem was Fat32 formatting of the usb sticks.
Perhaps you've also formatted in FAT32? I do not know why but here we go at once !!!

I'll get back again. I now have a problem with the MST-Fix:
I had run the fix already and had ftp access, samba set up and much more. I have an account set up develop in Samsung account and suddenly went no FTP access more. I have the smart hub made ??and reset factory settings on the tv but I get the hack only at the first reboot to run. In the second reboot the tv goes the hack is no longer active. I've tried everything as described here in the threads, but to no avail. Can anyone help?

On my F8000 avery now and then the hack is not starting because the network connection si slower then the Widget to start.
If I start it manually from SmartHub it works.

May there is the need to delay the start of Samygo widget a few seconds to let the TV to connect to the net.

Thanx for the hint, my USB flash is formated FAT16, also tried FAT32 and exFAT, as Windows calls it. Furthermore tried formatting the drive with Ubuntu. I used two different flash drives.
Unfortunately none of the formats did it.

@miazza: What did you mean with "If i start it manually from Smart Hub it works" How can i start it manually?

I think he means to open the Smarthub, and click (thus launching) the SamyGO module .. manually .. using remote contol ?!

[stefan81]

I don't understand,
In my Smarthub is no App Samy Go module when the hack is installed.
When i plug on the usb stick with samygo mstfix for installation of the hack, i can see the samygo module in smarthub.
But after the installation, when i have ftp access, i don't have any samygo modul in smarthub, so i can't start samygo manually...

Non-MST installation have autostart widget, MST have not. There's no point in trying to compare both behaviors...
