to v1008 you need add not only onw.bin but u-boot.bin too. Kernel (Image) you can add later after success try to load it from u-boot.

If you do not copy Image(kernel), then yes, you need make OpenEmbeded USB image for external boot from u-boot and make as you wrote.
eddited:
OMG. You do not understand what are you doing?
1. Restore u-boot (due flashing new firmware (or you can restore it manualy as you restored bml7):
Code: Select all
cat /dtv/usb/sda/u-boot.bin > /dev/bml0/2
cat /dtv/usb/sda/onw.bin > /dev/bml0/4
Change path to your usb disk. Path you can see with command
2. Make USB flashdisk for external boot from USB
3. Boot custom image from u-boot prompt.
4. If you get network working and no errors while external kernel boot from USB disk, you need flash kernel to TV to have network permanently. Or you can risk and flash firmware with u-boot, onw and Image at once. Without booting from USB.
So i think you need read again and again the manual how to boot external images. Read wiki pages related with u-boot.

Check if you have
u-boot menu access?
Did you add Image to USB (T-CHL5DEUC-2008v24-auto-arvix2-net with onw.bin)?
Anyway, you can make step1 and step2 in
merv07 manual
You do not need edit bml7 (steps5 and 6) because in this firmware ((T-CHL5DEUC-2008v24-auto-arvix2-net) is execution of /mtd_rwarea/SamyGO.sh already done.and then second part in step6 (from words
Below are examples of my scripts - (use at own risk))
So, from whole manual now to have network you need:
step1
step2
step6 II part.
If you didn`t add Image to firmware USB you upgraded, then you need flash kernel manualy after successful step2 procedure.
Code: Select all
cat /dtv/usb/sda/Image > /dev/bml0/5

this is because you didn`t add u-boot.bin to usb, you said, you add just onw.bin.
Yes, restore u-boot manualy first.

Finaly you did what i am telling you to do from yesterday evening untill now continuously - you changed u-boot and got it working!
So about external boot from USB i wrote
here, you need TFTP server for uImage and rootfs.tar.gz from OpenEmbedded to make bootable USB disk. I suggest you just make
step3 and do notcare about external boot.
I see people are a bit confusing with two manuals. I repeat - only one needed.
