OK, i made it step by step like the tutorial on the first site. The installscript runs without any errors. After the Installation, i turn off/on the tv with my remote. After that, i can't connect via telnet. I tested skype and it runs normaly. After that, i disconnected the powersupply from the tv and waited 2-3sec and plugged power on again. Then the tv starts normaly and reboots itself 3-4 times. After that everything is fine and ftp works.

Okay, thanks for reporting!

The same here. UE55H7000 with fw 2130

EDIT: I have disconnect the TV from powersupply. After reconnect, it reboots three or four times and now it is stable. Now i can connect with telnet on port 3123 and FTP also works

This one is MST, there should be no problem. Do you have non-empty /mnt folder on TV?

/mnt folder is empty!

/mnt folder is empty!

It means root is incomplete (no extensions, no Telnet on port 23...), you have to follow first post advice:

It seems that having both a recording device AND the rooting USB attached helps a lot.

Shut down TV. Unplug usb with rooting data. Plug one of your Free usb disk. Start TV and once it loads hit REC . It will ask if it can format the disk. Format and record something then shutdown tv, attach SECOND usb (the one with rooting data), start TV

Then check if /mnt is still empty

Has anyone been able to log in via ssh? There seems to be an ssh server running, but it doesn't accept any password I have tested. I thought that user=root and password=SamyGO should work, but it doesn't.

Telnet at port 3123 works of course. I become user app after log in. Ftp works too.

Is there any working web server running on my TV? There seems to be something on port 8080, but I only get the response "404 - Not Found".

Then did you try to attach a recording device as described in my post just above?
(and see if Telnet works on 23 afterwards)

I already had a USB drive connected to my TV before I connected the USB stick. I never disconnected it during the rooting process and it is still connected.

Telnet on port 23 does not work, but it works on port 3123.

EDIT: Telnet on port 33 also works. I will become root there.

When I inspected my sam.log file, I noticed the following:

mount: mounting /mtd_rwarea/profile on /etc/profile failed: Invalid argument
mount: mounting /mtd_rwarea/passwd on /etc/passwd failed: Invalid argument

Could this explain why I cannot log in via ssh? Am I the only one with this issue? Since I have a non-MST TV, I would expect some errors.
