Re: question on modding firmware to access nfs shares

Yes, I'm afraid you will have to flash your tv twice (I had to). The first flash is needed to get telnet access. Once you have that, you can write your boot scripts (rc.local and possibly others) in /mtd_rwarea. This is a partition that is indeed not flashed. Then you will need to flash again to run those scripts rather than just the telnet daemon. The rc.local that you edit in exe.img resides on a readonly partition, so you can't edit it on the TV itself.christian-hh wrote:Hi guys,

Does that mean I have to first flash the TV with a fw modified with ";/etc/telnetd_start.sh&", then telnet into it and create /mtd_rwarea/rc.local and then flashing a second time having a fw modified with ";/mtd_rwarea/rc.local&"?
Is it possible to only flash according to the link above and then do the rest on the command line of the TV without re-modding the fw?
Would it be possible to alter /rc.local on the telnet session and "touch /mtd_rwarea/rc.local, etc, etc" to get the rest done or is the exe.img extracted on every boot cycle overwriting the changes I made to /rc.local and /mtd_rwarea/rc.local?
While trying to find out myself I opened the decrypted exe.img but I could not find any /mtd_rwarea directory so I guess this is on the TV's flash, correct?
Or do I have to put this into exe.img together with /mtd_rwarea/rc.local?
Many thanks in advance!
