I suspect one day it will be possible Anyway you have to disable OTN Support in extended service menu

I'm going to buy a Samsung BD-F6500 with the latest firmware on it.
Can I root the device anyway, as long I turn the automatic updates off before rooting?

May I update my device before rooting or not?

How do you know it will have "latest firmware"?:)

Remember to DO NOT connect device to the internet BEFORE rooting!!! Also how do you want to "turn the automatic updates off"? You are going to use the menu? That will not work You have to go to EXTENDED service menu For that you need rooting and samyGOrc Unless you have service remote ?

Only if you want to risk HAVING Cinavia and DON'T having root

I need help with this.
Got the files downloaded on the USB, plugged it in, the folder comes up but nothing happens...
Suppose to do something else or didn't download something right??

• ...
• Launch SamyGO_Bluray_F from SmartHub (if it doesn't appear after Bluray reboot). Sometimes it is necessary to connect USB WHILE Bluray IS OFF!!!
• Reboot Bluray and Start the Web Browser
• Now SamyGO is started and telnet/ftp/etc. should work.

Actually continue to follow first post

Hi and I hope I can get some help here.

I followed the instructions for the F series and the folder never appears under the Smart Hub Apps. I have tried plugging in the USB stick before powering up.... unplugging the power and then plugging the USB in and powering up.....but it never appears in the Smart Hub Apps....

Could it be that my BD player will not work with this technique? I have a BD-FM59C with firmware 1018.

Thanks for any assistance you can give me.

Not being able to see app has NOTHING to do with whether the rooting will work or not. It's your job to launch the rooting app. We know that for some users it required MAAAAANY attempts

I have a f5900 also on firmware 1018 i found it would work if....before inserting usb you went into apps....then more apps and while on the more apps screen insert usb and it will show up. If you get bluray discs with cinavia to play without ejecting and saying dirty disc etc please let me know, i know some people have been able to do it, but i have tried various ways without success.

Is it possible, that the install procedure stops working after Smarthub update?

I mean - the procedure worked before (plugging the usb while device was off), but after Smarthub update (the only thing that has changed) not only did I loose the root, but the app will not appear, no matter when I plug usb in - tried already about 30 times different ways (blu ray off/on)

What more can I try?

BD-E8900

Check the forum and find some way to make it appear... For me it ALWAYS appear. Can't help you with that. How do you know root is gone ? Do you still have telnet at port 5023?
