Replacement mainboard w/Firmware I cant find on SammyGO?

[spadesvet11b]

I have a UN55C8000X series, and just like many other C8000 series the mainboard died during a firmware upgrade. I spent a few months patiently waiting for another compatitable board to come up for sale, and while it was not the exact part number for my TV, a samsung certified tech verified that this board would replace the broke one. I followed the guide on SammyGo for adjusting the Service menu to my TV, so, it works well.

The board number is- BN97-04067D

tHE Firmware is - T-VALAUSC-1037.1

I am wanting to know if anyone has heard of this firmware, what the firmware belongs to, if this is the right firmware for my TV, is the firmware replaceable with the proper firmware, and, can I hack this firmware?

PLEASE HELP ME

Thanks for your time everyone, I did ALOT of Forum Scouring and searching before posting

if this mb came with valausc it has to stay valausc, where are you from?

i think the hacking chances are pretty good

For sure, I'm from the US, California. I have read over the DNS patched firmware method, and I would like to do this method, although I cannot find any valid links to T-VALAUSC 1026, which is the firmware that is hackable for my TV.
Even if I can't fully hack it, I'm wondering which model T-VALAUSC 1037.1 belongs to, and, is there any benefit to downgrading to the proper known firmware for my TV?

Just set proper DNS, reboot TV and follow firmware upgrade procedure. If no problems occur, your TV gets T-VALAUSC-1036 installed, slightly prepatched to excecute /SamyGO/rcSGO from USB during boot. Here is no more options to get tv rooted. You do not need download any firmware.

Here are some useful links for you:

So, my question is this- the correct way to downgrade is-
- load patched T-Val6duec (non-US) firmware via DNS hack
-update firmware to T-Val6duec 0000
-update T-Val6duec 0000 to T-VALAUSC 1029

Is this going to work for upgrading from Europe's 0000 to US 1029?
--- should I go into svc menu and change the region?

[juusso]

Nah. Totally wrong.

[spadesvet11b]

What am I about to do wrong lol

[juusso]

Ok. To be honest with you, you re thinking in good way. The DNS procedure you should follow lets you install patched T-VALAUSC.
Thats all. No need for anything else.

If you can fly planes, installing firmware shouldnt be hard nut for you.

1. go to service menu and disable watchdog/ enable debug as mentioned on wiki
2. Set DNS adress
3. Navigate trough menu and check for software updates.

This is like take off check list. Just slightly simpler. Isn't?

Nice, thx u; checklists are my life, I live and fly by them.

OK, so, just to clarify the DNS procedure, according to the Wiki, it refers to VALAUSC being used w/ a T-VAL6DEUC patched firmware, and you are saying there is a patched VALAUSC firmware?

If the above statement is correct, I shouldn't need to install the Val6duec 0000 firmware as I have already achieved flashing of the patched firmware and there is no point to downgrade, or--

If I continue to downgrade, is there

? a VALAUSC 0000 instead of a Val6duec 0000 I must use, or

?if I downgrade to Val6duec 0000, must I change region settings before upgrading from Val6duec 0000 to VALAUSC 1026/8

As u can see I'm constructing my pre engine start checklist, run up checklist and pre take off checklist
