Do you have Any ideas(combinations)??
without ex-link, no.

its not too hard to make it, need an old stereo headphone and serial/ps2 (or serial/usb) adapter + stuff for soldering.
but it is simpler to by the connectors and cable.

Can you draw schematic of cable. (if i have 3,5 jack and USB)

I can send you my Wi-FI ids patcher. (i replace 4 byte in rt73.ko and original rt73.ko begin support ASUS WL-167G)
http://linux.zsolttech.com/Samsung/Deve ... exlink.gif

to your modules rt73.ko looks ok but your cifs.ko is very big.
you made also squashfs 3.1 and not squashfs 3.0 image

think i saw in kernelsources kernel support for 3.1 squashfs, but didn't tested it.
i am not shure
  • filesystem too big?
  • squashfs wrong version
  • rc.local wrong?
than if you can replace your boot.img from u-boot and get your tv working again we can safe test whats realy goes wrong.

I try:
- hold ENTER(when TV start)
- hold Volume + (when TV start)
- hold Exit 10Sec (when TV start)

no results.....

I assume you did not read the Thread that I included in my earlier posting, otherwise you would know what key you need to press to interrupt the boot process and wouldn't be asking this question ?

You need to send the tilde ( ~ ) character via serial console to interrupt the boot process.
I suggest you check out this this posting.

hi,
you have

Code: Select all

chown -R root:root dev_bml0_07
in your rc.local, this will for shure fail and can stop the boot process
in rc.local you should have things like

Code: Select all

insmod /mtd_boot/modules/cifs.ko
