[ROOT] "Skype replacement" root H

[mihd]

This method is for OLD FIRMWARES (T-MST14 <= 2130, T-GFPx < 1290, T-NT14U < 1050, all T-GFS).
USB used only to install (unpack archive to a USB flash drive), method WORKS WITHOUT USB.
The method is INDEPENDENT OF SKYPE.

For H SERIES!!!! do this:

1. If you use other rooting method, it is necessary to remove root.
   For [ROOT] H "Skype refueled" root and for [Ended][ROOT] H "Skype" root execute telnet command:

   Code: Select all

   rm -rf /mtd_rwcommon/moip/engines/Skype
   rm -rf /mtd_rwcommon/emps/empSkype
   rm -rf /mtd_rwcommon/emps/empSkype_img
   rm -rf /mtd_rwcommon/widgets/normal/111399001835_img
   rm -rf /mtd_rwcommon/widgets/normal/111399001835

   For [ROOT] H "Network" root execute telnet command:

   Code: Select all

   rm /mtd_rwarea/network/runSamyGO.sh

   Power OFF TV, unplug USB, power ON TV
2. Menu->System->General->Quickly Power OFF Samsung - this option must be OFF
   Menu->System->General->Samsung Instant ON - this option must be OFF
   (if these options are not existing on your TV, simply don't set them!)
3. Download InstallSamygo_4_H and extract all to root of FAT USB
4. Move samyext4.img from SamyGO folder on USB to InstallSamygo\data folder (if you have previously used root). SamyGO folder can be deleted.
   If you have not previously used root then download samyext4.zip from HERE (New! 25/09/2015), unpack samyext4.img and copy it to InstallSamygo\data folder on FAT USB

For MST, firmwares starting with T-MST14, do this:

1. Now you should have FAT USB with folder InstallSamygo
2. Connect USB to TV
3. Launch "Install SamyGO-H" from SmartHub (if it doesn't appear reboot TV). Sometimes it is necessary to connect USB WHILE TV IS OFF!!!
4. Press "Enter" and wait until it finishes (5 lines should appear with the "Ok" at the end)
5. If Menu->System->General->Samsung Instant ON (Menu->System->General->Quickly Power OFF Samsung) is existing on your TV then
   reboot TV and wait 1-2 minutes
6. If Menu->System->General->Samsung Instant ON (Menu->System->General->Quickly Power OFF Samsung) is NOT existing on your TV then
   power off the TV by removing the plug from the socket.
   Next - press "power" button on the remote (2-3 times) until the light goes out at the front of the TV. Or wait 10 minutes.
   Insert the plug into the socket, power on the TV
7. TV will reboot itself or crash (it won't respond to remote control). It is EXPECTED for TV to crash and/or reboot multiple times
8. If your TV reboots do nothing but if it crashes unplug the power cable
9. Repeat previous step till TV becomes stable once again (stops crashing and/or rebooting)

For NON-MST do this:
Should work for T-GFS and some old T-GFP firmwares.

1. Install SamyGO widget as described in MST section (steps 1-4)
2. Do not power off TV. Set scheduled power on (use most close schedule as possible)
3. Power off TV and wait for TV power on

"2OK+3NO" problem:
If you launched the "Install SamyGO-H" and after pressing "Enter" first 2 lines appear with "Ok" at the ends, and 3 lines appear with "No" at the ends, and SamyGO not loaded after TV rebooting, it is necessary to do the following.
1. Run in Windows command prompt

Code: Select all

telnet [IPaddressOfTV] 3123

2. Run the command

Code: Select all

chmod 777 /mtd_rwcommon/widgets/user

3. Launch "Install SamyGO-H" from SmartHub
4. Press "Enter" and wait until it finishes (5 lines should appear with the "Ok" at the ends)
5. Steps 5-9 (for MST), 2-3 (for the non-MST).

Now SamyGO is started and telnet/ssh/netcat/ftp/etc. should work.
Check telnet on 23 and 3123 ports
Check ssh on 22 port (user: root, password: SamyGO)

Notes:

• Widget SamyGO-H(Uninstall) (appears after installation in SmartHub) used to remove SamyGO startup files (and then remove the widget itself).
• Widget RestoreSmG (appears after installation in SmartHub) used to repair SamyGO startup files (in case of failure).
  If you press "red" key after start InstallSamygo from USB then SamyGO startup files are repaired (as it is done in RestoreSmG) and widgets are restored, "image" is not replaced.
• In the case of incorrect SamyGO work (TV restarts, hangs, etc.) use STOP_SAMYGO (empty file in the root of usb) and netcat on port 3023 (or telnet on port 3123) to correct errors. You can also use FTP on port 21.
• After installation of SamyGO you can install Skype, if you need one. Skype will work with SamyGO.

This method was successfully tested on UE40H7000 (FW - T-MST14DEUC_2130.0).

SAMYEXT4.IMG (SamyGO "image") DOES NOT CORRECTLY SUPPORT NT14 and GFP9 MODELS. PLEASE CONTACT AUTHOR FOR FIX

No. My method not conflicts with Skype.

[zoelechat]

Ahh, great

[mihd]

Method works without USB. samyext4.img is in memory of TV, not on USB.

[sersh]

Tested with mihd on My H tv and work fine Skype+Samygo.

[zoelechat]

I hope people won't get too much confused about too many root methods...
We'll have to call that one "USB free, Skype compliant" or something like this

[mihd]

Method is similar to [App] "Skype replacement" root E/F.
This is a continuation of my work.
Sectroyer's root - "Skype"-root. It is totally dependent on Skype.
My method - "Skype REPLACEMENT". It is the main.

[zoelechat]

Yeah, but sectroyer's one is more "replacement" (on H) since it behaves exactly like the old one it "replaces" (needs USB, breaks Skype).
Yours if finally more "new", will have to invert names

[mihd]

Sectroyer did "replaced" only libSkype.so . His method replaces old method (with normal Skype) and force puts the official (normal) Skype, which, incidentally, is removed as a result of the Smarthub update.
My method uses a fake emps-library. Resistant to update the Smart Hub.
