Help needed to either hack or restore c650

[MacDuff]

hmm, but what will do the USB hack? I mean telnet works, and I also can go back to each firmware?

[lacibogi]

I have formatted mtd_rwarea do re-hack my TV.
But after clone USB to TV my TV restarts few times then turns on but no channels resotored, no telnet access. Something went wrong, but no error message was poped up while hacking.
If I remember good there should be channels set up.

Could be that formatting mtd_rwarea was not done correctly?

I don't know about what's wrong with hack now, but it is normal you don't have channels. Switch off hotel mode and import channel list you exported previously.

What about run.sh, is it being executed?

[lacibogi]

No it is not.
I have created run.sh with:

Code: Select all

#!/bin/sh
echo 'OK' >> /dtv/usb/sda/run.ok

After USB plugging in, initializing there was no run.ok file on usb stick.

Could this help?

No reaction to USB, no telnet, but screen is on

create empty file named kill_start.sh on root of USB
power off TV
attach USB and power on TV

/mtd_rwarea/start.sh should be deleted

Why do you think its sda? Perhaps sda1?

Anyway. You always can format and rehack until success.

[lacibogi]

mine is sda1, it was just copied from wiki..

sure I will try until I success..

[lacibogi]

I have tried it several times with no luck..
Will try again later..maybe it needs some time..

[juzis]

Same as with exlink cable? Need time to get well with it... Easy. Slowly.

[lacibogi]

Yes, with exlink cable.
Will let it be and try again in weekend.

[lacibogi]

finally I have downgraded to fw 3005 and have hacked via hack my tv widget.
looks that hack was sucessfull, I have webgui access, also run.sh is executed.

but when I want to connet over telnet putty there is no need to login.
I am connected to /mtd_rwarea/network_opt # immediately.

is it right?
