Firmware customization for UE32EH5000WXXN

[neagix]

Hi there!

I just joined the forums. I have an UE32EH5000WXXN and I have successfully connected to the serial console.

My first goal would be to customize it and add wifi support (I have a Linux-supported wifi dongle)
Can somebody give me advices about this TV set? under its OS hood, are there significant features to be enabled?

Because I've read that sometimes the hardware inside is capable of more

Next step for me would be to put there a custom firmware..any advices?

Update: hardware is the same as 5300 series

I have a 32B panel, what does "B" stand for?

Update: I have tried SamyGO.py, and it answers my questions quite clearly:

Code: Select all

Error : Secret AES key cannot be calculated in this version of SamyGO Firmware Patcher.

bad idea. here is very limited chances to get root on this tv. You just could try to fire up proper wifi dongle (based on proper chip + changed VID&PID if needed). Thats all.

juuso, thanks for your answer. could you elaborate a bit more on this? why is that? perhaps there are related forum threads of other people trying this? (I couldn't find any)
