UExxF7000: Root with firmware 1130 / downgrade to 1128.1

[Salomon2k]

Hi,

i had successfully rooted my F7000 with firmware 1129.
But since firmware 1129 my tv has problems while power off tv. It takes more than 6 seconds after pushing the power button until the tv is totally off.

I think there are 2 possible solutions?
1. Upgrade to 1130 (which has fix for that problem):
1.1: Is it possible to root tv with 1130?
1.2: How can i upgrade my tv with rooted firmware to new version? (default upgrade via usb-stick and samsung update)
1.3: After upgrading: Do i need to install samy go from scratch?
2. Downgrade to 1128:
2.1: How to downgrade a firmware version from 1129 to 1128. i can?t find any good how-to or any other guide
3. Is there a way to solve this poweroff-problem with 1129?

thanks and kind regards

Maybe I can add something to #1 to exclude it.
I just bought the same model of TV and on few first runs it has auto-updated to T-FXPDEUC-1130 (I wasn't aware of the consequences at the time).
Now when trying to root I can't even turn the OTN Support off despite all conditions fulfilled:
- LAN connection
- samsung domains blocked (msecnd.net, samsungotn.net)
- TV says that it can't connect when trying to check for upgrades
- extended service menu available

The OTN support is still greyed-out. So I didn't try the second rooting method yet.
Did you have the same issue with 1129 but still rooted successfully?

OTN being greyed out depends on none of the conditions you listed above, only fw version matters. Downgrade to <1128 and you'll be able to disable it.

But the root is required for downgrading... So the rooting is possible even if OTN is not disabled?
What's the disadvantage of leaving 1130 with OTN in this state and root? It shouldn't complete any upgrades with domains blocked.

Blocking domains on router *should* be the same as disabling OTN. Root is possible in both cases.

Probably no disadvantage, but most surely never any advantage in having latest fw, except if you prove me 1130 is better

OK, thanks. Let me first do the rooting, play around and if/when find any issues I'll do what you said.

The rooting works fine with the fw 1130.0! FTP anf telnet!

To Upgrade the TV you must download the firmware on the samsung homepage and unzip it to a usb stick.
Then start the TV, deactivate the autorun, restart the TV with the stick where the firmware is.
CHeck for update (they asks whether the search to Stick) and install it.
After the restart you can disconnect the USB Stick with the Firmware ang activate the samygo autostart.

And now you can restart the TV again and the root works...

Never said the contrary...

So, what's new in 1130?

[Grafhkgb]

I had the problem that the tv sometimes not reacts...

With the 1130.0 is the problem resolved!

Uh? Bug introduced by 1129 I guess?
