Thank you too in the name of all users which accidentally flashed their firmwares to latest version. :)

When the version is printed on screen there ist: EK000DK000
It' a small mistake, so i have to echo EK000DK000 instead of "S", or not?
You are very carefull reader, as I was too before doing this trick :). I didn't notice this discrepancy so far. But I didn't made an mistake. I'll try to do my best to explain it.

Just now I have flashed these firmwares in the TV:
SWU_T-CHL7DEUC_002004_I02_ES000DS000_090816
SWU_T-CHL7DEUC_002005_I02_ES000DS000_090930

I copy these strings which describes firmware version from T-CHL7DEUC\image\version_info.txt files. So I really used this command in my code you pointed on:

Code: Select all

# echo SWU_T-CHL7DEUC_002004_I02_ES000DS000_090816 >Version.0
But when I check Version.* files just now, I get:

Code: Select all

localhost login: root
-sh: id: not found
# cd mtd_rwarea/
# ls -al Version.*
-rwxr-xr-x    1 root     0              44 Jan  1  1980 Version.0
-rwxr-xr-x    1 root     0              44 Jan  1  1980 Version.1
# cat Version.*
SWU_T-CHL7DEUC_002004_I02_EK000DK000_090816
SWU_T-CHL7DEUC_002005_I02_EK000DK000_090930
#
As you can see, now there is a discrepancy. True is, that I must reconstruct my telnet protocol after I executed my code, because I restarted TV to switch firmwares and lost telnet connection. But I definitely did use this piece of code, because I checked the firmware version inside of /dev/tbml8 and I know and I remember, that my previous firmware was 2004.1:

Code: Select all

# echo SWU_T-CHL7DEUC_002004_I02_ES000DS000_090816 >Version.0
And now when I cat content of Version.* files I get:

Code: Select all

# cat Version.*
SWU_T-CHL7DEUC_002004_I02_EK000DK000_090816
SWU_T-CHL7DEUC_002005_I02_EK000DK000_090930
It's interesting, I'll futher investigate it.

For making your TV as a Virgin, Please flash your TV with original firmware twice with 2005.0 version. Or First with original 2004.1 than 2005.
With it, it's nearly identical as original one. There is some small glitches but I think they cant detect them without deep inspection.
And also read Warranty Article on WiKi page to know which warranty that we talking from.
