[ROOT] Rooting E/F on latest firmwares

[sectroyer]

Just some quick feedback on the USB method that might be helpful for others:

- the SamyGo app doesn't show up in the SmartHub when another usb stick (for DVR function) is also connected to the tv
- works with ExFAT formatted USB stick as well

Haven't tried to root 2000.2 yet, though.

Okay do more tests You can also give me a link to any of the apps that worked "over the network" I will try to analyze why it worked at all

Sure, will get back to you once I've done some more testing - but is going to take a couple of days since I'm away on a business trip.

Alright, I was able to transfer "WebTV2014" and the old "NHL Game Center" apps using the developer account. So this step seems to work fine. But as soon as I try to transfer the Hulu Plus or SamyGo app I get the error message again.

Maybe Samsung has tightened up the restrictions on the new firmware which apps can be transferred?

I got the same issue un my ES8000 TV after the last SmartHub update.
No chance to install through the develop account because at the end of the synk you get a security alert pointing you to a forum.
I tried several times and always the same. Other apps are normally installed.

I solved only with an install from USB. I used FAT32 and the widget did not show for several times. I do not know/remeber what I did but at the end after several switch off and usb plug/unplug the widget appeared and the install wa successfully performed.

Told you it's best to keep on trying to get it working from USB

I got the same issue un my ES8000 TV after the last SmartHub update. [...] the widget appeared and the install wa successfully performed.

Nice, thanks for chiming in. So you were able to root your tv even with the newest firmware? Can you check and see which firmware version you're on right now?

I think he meant only Smart Hub update Firmware is still "the old" one Anyway I know people on different firmwares sometimes have problems with making "app appear" So I think you should try more

Yes. No matter the FW version. This issue is Smart Hub related.
Play with the USB and the widget sooner or later will appear. Some times the USB need to be inserted when the TV is already on.
Some time it must be off for the SH to be detected.
It is triky but finally it worked for me.

Im my case, the app not appearing in the SmartHub was related to another usb stick (for the DVR functionality) being connected to the tv at the same time. Once I disconnected the second usb stick, the SamyGo widget appeared.

And does it work ?

Won't be able to test the root function until I get back from my trip by the end of the week, sorry.
