[ROOT] Rooting E/F on latest firmwares

[zippoz]

So, I tried multiple USB sticks. Even with the latest stick formatted FAT32, with the scripts from the first page and the modified run.sh for debug, I get green OKs for everything except /mnt/rcSGO. After reboot, the TV automatically turns off after roughly 75 seconds. Why is that? I would understand if nothing happened, but not an automatic TV shutdown.

As soon as I remove the stick, the TV makes it past 75 seconds. Logfile from USB stick is attached. Thanks!

Okay usb log looks okay. What is your TV? Have you tried newest samyext4.img?

[zippoz]

What is the "newest" one?

Any idea why the TV would turn off?

Probably an enabled patch leading it to crash. Do you have time to connect by FTP before the "75 seconds crash"?

[zippoz]

Yes, I do. How can I find out what's causing it to crash? Any additional log files etc.?

Can we rule out different versions of samy4ext.img as the cause? I am using samyext4.img from the first post. When I experimented with a different one provided somewhere in this thread, I was additionally able to connect through telnet port 5032 for a couple of seconds before the connection broke down again. However, I had never gotten an FTP connection to work up until now.

However, my TV is an MST one, and earlier in this thread I was only able to find a new samyext4.img for NON-MST users. So please tell me if there is a samyext4.img for me to use that is not from the first post. In that case, I will gladly try it.

AFAIK there's no "newest" version for F, I think sectroyer confused with H thread where a new one has just been released. The one linked in first post is fine
So, if you have *quick* FTP access, try to be fast enough to rename every /mnt/etc/init.d/99_99_*.init script to *.init.dis (over several reboots if needed) until TV potentially stops to crash.

[zippoz]

Thanks, I will try sometime this week when I have time.

For my understanding, what does this do? I disable a bunch of (which ones?) initialization scripts? Which ones start with 99_99_*? Thanks!

[zoelechat]

Code: Select all

99_99_ChannInfoON.init
99_99_InfoBannerDuration.init
99_99_PVRAnyDev.init
99_99_SleepTimer.init

Their filenames mostly speak by theirselves (and you can find them all individually on forum if you need details), I just remember that a guy in this thread already reported the same issue as you, due to one of them causing crash (can't remember which one exactly though )

[zippoz]

So the 99_99 scripts all come from you?

Not me! They're just part of SamyGO extensions.
Anyway, try to rename them one by one and see if/when TV stops crashing.
