[ROOT] Rooting E/F on latest firmwares

[miazza]

I'm quite embarassed to ask but possibly there is something very obvious I am missing.
The issue is that in SmartHub I do not see SamyGO-F.
I have formatted my USB to FAT and followed the instructions.
In the root of the USB I have only two folders: SamyGO-F and SamyGO_data and nothing else.

Am I missing something ?

I had the same problem, I found this posted by bobiturboto. It worked for me.

Other important step you need to uninstall old samygo widget before the procedure.
My instructions for F8000:

* Reboot the tv and don't plug the usb drive.
* Open Smart Hub > Apps > More Apps and then put the usb drive and exit from the screen for new device found.
* SamyGO -F widget will appears after that.

I did it already...

Now widget appeared.
I executed it and installation completed in a correct way with all check green and OK.
but no root:

- no ftp
- no telnet

What can be wrong now on my F8000 ?

In USB I can find SamyGO1.txt and SamyGO2.txt

Update: now solved : after few reinstall root is working. SOFTWARE UPGRADE is Grayed.... ??? ...

5 Questions:

1)
What about completely removing SamyGO without any traces? - Turn of the USB and uninstall SamyGO widget is enough?

2)
The only USB device on my TV is a haddisk with 2 partitions (1=TV, 2=NTFS). Obviously USB has to be always connected to TV to keep this hack working. Would a 3rd very small FAT-patition on this harddisk work?

3)
Can the USB-port be changed (of course when TV is off)?

4)
Can the USB device be repaced, if all the data were copied?

5)
In case of a safe later firmware, is it better to uninstall the widget before the update?

Thank you

I can confirm that this method didn't work on F6670 (T-MST12DEUC-1120.0). I was able to start widget, than i put sammygo autostart in ticker menu but this is causing widget to loop.

I had a very similar result at the beginning.
I made the install three times , always at the same way but disabling automatic data and waiting one minute after boot.

Nouw I have root working and autoexec with tick.

Only issue I have noticed up to now is the SOFTWARE UPGRADE is now greyed out.
No problem for this but it is just to report it.

Thanks to sectroyer and to everybody ho helped.

YES

2)

YES. For the install it must be FAT

3)
Can the USB-port be changed (of course when TV is off)?
YES.A user reported it is possible after install to have it also on NTFS

4)
Can the USB device be repaced, if all the data were copied?
YES. See point 3 above. Please confirm if you try

5)
In case of a safe later firmware, is it better to uninstall the widget before the update?
Nothing to do with FW update. You do not need to uninstall. Anyhow there is no need for further FW update

Thank you

very interesting...
i tried to install this at my Samsung UE55F9090 with T-FXP9DEUC-2221.0
The installation was without problems.
But no root

Interesting was, that my TV at the restart means: "It was discovered a malicious program. Some functions may be limited."

you have to use the auto start oscam script... /mntr/ect/init.d/03_01_libOSCAM.init

autostart o$scam:

with new run1.sh

Code: Select all

#!/bin/sh
# emergency skript exit to prevent boot loop
      for USB in ${1:- \
         /dtv/usb/sd* } ; do
         echo "checking $USB"
         sleep 1
         if [ -e $USB/STOP_SAMYGO ]; then
            "STOP found. Script exit..."
            exit 1
         fi
         if [ -e "$USB/SamyGO_data/samyext4.img" ]; 
         then
             samygo_data_dir="$USB/SamyGO_data"
         fi
      done
cd /tmp
if [ -f "/mnt/rcSGO" ]
then
    echo "SamyGO already started."
    exit 1
fi
if [ -z "$samygo_data_dir" ]
then
    echo "SamyGO_data not found."
    exit 1
fi
mkdir /tmp/bin
/mtd_exe/InfoLink/lib/unzip -o -P 12345 "$samygo_data_dir/data.zip" -d /tmp/bin/

@zimpel
did older method work for you?...with the skype one?

[sectroyer]

In case of a safe later firmware, is it better to uninstall the widget before the update?

Thank you

What update? Why update? If you keep updating your firmware don't expect root
