SamyGO

Hi tanfan,

first I assume that your TV is UE39F5370ss, and not UE39D5370. In that case, you'd be in the wrong part of the forum.

Then, I'm missing the most important first instruction in your listed sequence of actions, which is to extract the archive attached to the first post (the instruction noted under "Usage".

If you simply create folders on your freshly formatted USB device, and copy samyext4.img somewhere, then it's absolutely clear that nothing speacial will ever happen.

ohhh man I'm so stupid...
you are right it's a F series
and I havent seen the attached File...
Now everything works perfect
Thank you very much

I have to say that I also fell into the same trap of assuming that the 'Skype method' worked for all F models regardless of version of FW.
I'm sure that many newbies (like me) who are looking to root their TV for the first time, wouldn't know that "Skype is over". I even clicked on the "version boundaries" beforehand, but didn't pick up that the "Skype method" only worked with certain firmware.
Maybe as a polite suggestion, the initial post should be adjusted to reflect this for newbies looking at this for the first time?

So just to clarify, for someone one me who has a F7000 on FW version 1118, the only way to root is via the "donor method"?

Yes... except if you downgrade.

Anyway, "donor's" root is no longer donor's

Awesome! Although I think that it is only fair that a donation is made. Getting a bitcoin account up and running is whole different matter though
