Hotel hack for Smarthub-less TVs?

O_o

Whoa. That was fast. Thanks.

Having a difficult time understanding the hack though.

link0 on sda1 contains your needed start.sh code.
edit link0_Temp symlink to be linked to /mtd_rwarea/start.sh

chmod required files to 755 on another unix machine.
dont touch Clone.dat, only two files above required to edit.

For tests i used HotelMode hack usb image. Just removed all unused data from fat partition, reanamed one of firmwares dir to mine with Clone inside (T-GASAKUC/Clone).

Today i finished. Any support tomorrow at evening only. Don't brick

I would recommend to import first custom (not start.sh) file to /mtd_rwarea with code we want to execute (like wait for usb and execute script from there), and just after TV reboots with the second try - import modified start.sh.

Strange, but it was impossible to import two files at once. After every usb to TV import TV reboots.

Last I checked, my TV doesn't support XFS.

[juusso]

How did you check this?
If so, you should check all unix filesystems with symlinking support...

[LLStarks]

XFS, HFS, ext3, ext4, etc.

I haven't found a single one that can be recognized from USB.

From exlink. Second partition is XFS.

Code: Select all

MSC Device# : 1
	Device ID`= 0
	????Wk??Name = sda
	`?U????Name = SanDisk 
	t?W????Name = Cruzer Micro   pc????????Number = 200411009003075387b
	`?WUS Info = 2
	0??U
??j
		pqrtition ID = 0
	B??
??????Path = /dev/sda1
		p??ount Path = /dtv/usb/sda1
		0?~???System Type = VFAT
		x??????Free = 245996/245995
		Partition ID = 1
		??SCSI ?evice Path = /dev/sda2
		??S???Path = None
		0??Z??System Type = ...unknown...
[DevMgr_SS/Fatal] 169 : [GetPartitionSize:213] invalid path : None
		p??????Free = 0/0

Seems we just found a way to root D5500 and older models, but not smarthubless TVs.
Try to enable PVR in service menu (I know it wont work), might it adds xfs support

[LLStarks]

No luck.

Enabling PVR doesn't enable XFS.

[juusso]

Back to the start line. I hoped we made some progress.

Anyway, do we have D5500 and older models for tests? Volunteers? Any?
