Need firmware file for T-MST5DEUC (PxxD6x00 TV)

[turnip]

Hey, does anyone have a T-MST5DEUC firmware file lying around, version 1018 or less? (1016 would be ideal.) Been searching high and low but all of the links are dead

I want to modify it to enable auto-root. If someone has one that's already modded, even better:)

You can do firmware downgrade (https://forum.samygo.tv/viewtopic.php?f ... 240#p97864) and you get T-MST5DEUC-1009.1.

Yes, but I do want some of the PQ improvements that come with 1016 or 1018 as well (SD upscaling to be precise). I am currently on 1010.

The only firmware I can get my hands on is 1025, and I haven't found any confirmation that it's moddable. I'm a bit wary of stuff above 1018 it due to 1019 black level fiasco...

Just to be clear, i need the firmware so I can use the SamyGO firmware patcher. My goal is to be able to have AC3 passthrough enabled without having to start the SamyGO widget every time the TV is turned on. (This is the solution, right?)
The only firmwares that I managed to download is 1019 and 1025 from the Samsung site, but as I understand recent firmwares will likely break compatibility with SamyGO. And 1019 has picture quality issues with plasma screens (terrible black levels).

No, firmware patcher is aimed for B series only.

FWIW, I'm on latest firmware (see signature) and SamyGO works like a charm.

@spoza, please consider in explaining your setup to help turnip. Any links to your previous posts or some wider explanation would be great. Thanks.

There is nothing to explain...
Google for "T-MST5DEUC firmware"... and find e.g. this with version 1023: http://www.samsung.com/au/support/model/PS59D6900DMXXY
Flash that firware using the standard process...
Install SamyGO by following the steps in Wiki...
That's all.

BTW, my TV is currently broken thanks to Samsung's F*CKING automatic Facebook app upgrade... something i NEVER used and NEVER wanted (but couldn't remove since it's "normal" widget, not "user" widget)
It started updating itself, then TV rebooted in the middle of the update... and now it's stuck in boot loop - the Samsung Smart TV logo appears for a second, then goes off and 2 seconds later the TV reboots... and again and again... no chance to do anything with it
Samsung f*ckers...
