[ROOT] Rooting E/F on latest firmwares

[Joejoe]

After new reboot:

/bin/sh: can't access tty; job control turned off
VDLinux#> ls -l /mtd_rwcommon/SamyGO/rcSGO
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root 0 294 Jan 1 1970 /mtd_rwcommon/SamyGO/rcSGO

/bin/sh: can't access tty; job control turned off
VDLinux#> /bin/sh -c "/bin/sh /mtd_rwcommon/SamyGO/rcSGO &" &
'DLinux#> sleep: invalid number '120
: not foundon/SamyGO/rcSGO: line 4:
Looking for SamyGO-F on:
/mtd_rwcommon/SamyGO/rcSGO: line 6: syntax error: unexpected word (expecting "do")

That makes no sense to me

For me it does You incorrectly edited file Use original rcSGO file, reroot and try previous test once again

[Joejoe]

OK this will be my first thing to do tomorrow after work

"Incorrect!!! This hack is proven to work with multiple USB disks attached"
During the new installation I prefered to remove the USB Drive used for the recording of TV stuff...

I keep two USB attached permanently (even during the TV power up) - one is for the root and the other is for SUB storage. The root works perfect this way as well... (Including OSCAM autostart works perfect).

I have read a lot in this forum, and I'm a donor for some months ago. As more I read more confused I'm. I've disabled OTN and installed Samygo for non SMT (my TV is F7000 series). Right. And now... What? Are Oscam and Samygo the same? Root TV and no more? Maybe a first step to do more things? I'm looking a method to watch or decode some satellite channels using the internal Samsung TV decoder, and I don't understand what I need: pvrdecoder? Oscam? Other apps?Aaaaaargghh. Some conceptual help, please. Only to follow the right way. Then I'll be able to find information whit some coherence.
Thanks in advance.

So, new try:
- First reroot over SmartHub
- Change execute permision:

Code: Select all

chmod +x /mtd_rwcommon/SamyGO/rcSGO

- execute rcSGO with this line:

Code: Select all

/bin/sh -c "/bin/sh /mtd_rwcommon/SamyGO/rcSGO &" &

- waiting for 5 minutes -> nothing happens
- execute rcSGO with this line:

Code: Select all

/bin/sh -c "/bin/sh /mtd_rwcommon/SamyGO/rcSGO" &

- waiting for 5 minutes -> nothing happens
- don't know why but I try a reboot
- after approximately 1 min my virtual USB appears I could not believe my eyes
- try another reboot -> after 1 min the virtual USB appears again
I think it works now
But I don't know which input solve the Problem.
Now I got "sleep 30" in second line in rcSGO and it starts well

Thank you very much for your help sectroyer and also juuso

I suspect this:

Code: Select all

chmod +x /mtd_rwcommon/SamyGO/rcSGO

might have worked from the beginning but due to your edits it stopped working

Fine but in the past i get *.init files from /mnt/etc/init.d with WinSCP over ftp@21.
I edit it with Notepad++ and upload it again with WinSCP and overwrite the existing file (the way i edit also rcSGO after root works one time).
Is this the wrong way?

I don't use windows. But in most cases it's NOT about "the way" itself but about what you did wrong For example in notepad++ it is enough to click in "wrong place" or push "wrong key" to change the encoding I don't know what EXACTLY you did wrong I know you did it

Hi there,

i did a fresh install of samygo, after samsung changed my motherboard because of failure. the fw is 1120, my tv is f6340 MST and the rooting seems to succeed. but when i try to connect via lan to my tv with putty or pvrdecoder, i cant make any connection. putty says "network error: connection refused" never had that before, and cant find a way to work around.

any hints for me please? (is this some kind of router setup thing?)
