[How To] Get root access on F series

[markf]

Hi to all. Im from Brasil and I update my TV 40F6400 and lost my root
The Firmaware was in 1117 (root working) and upgraded to 1118 and root lost.
I tried the same procedure samygo and skype again, everything seems to work but when I test the ftp does not work.
I then tried to update to firmware 1119.1, but still does not work the procedure root.
I used the firmware 1119.1 in this page of the my model:
http://www.samsung.com/br/support/model ... -downloads
When I was in 1117 everything was good, I could copy the videos recorded from tv using samyGOPVRDecoder. And now, how can I do this without root? : (
I still own the 1117 firmware saved on my computer. there is a way to upgrade (downgrade) the firmware tv for 1117 using the file I have?
Thanks for any help.

No way to downgrade, nothing else to do than wait and hope

You have to set "OTN support" to OFF in service menu.

To access service menu, TV being off use remote control:

[MENU] [MUTE] [POWER]

Be careful!! Left-right keys change values without confirmation, use only up-down-enter until you reach desired option:
Option->MRT Option->OTN Support, set to OFF by pressing right key
Reboot TV

Any F owner (I'm not) could correct me if I'm wrong somewhere. I just retrieved info from forum that anybody could find by searching a bit

It is possible only with the extended menu. You need to unlock the menu if you want to get to that option. So, you need IR blaster to do that.

Ok, that's what I suspected and that's why I asked you to correct me

I am curious, why Samsung removed this option in the ES and brought it back in F...

For me this was enough to stop updates:

Code: Select all

#!/bin/sh
myips="70.37.72.170 210.118.88.205 157.55.184.57"
for ip in $myips
do
        echo "Block IP: $ip"
        iptables -t nat -A OUTPUT -s $ip -d 0/0 -j DNAT --to-destination 127.0.0.1
        iptables -t nat -A OUTPUT -d $ip -s 0/0 -j DNAT --to-destination 127.0.0.1
done
