Force Firmware back, trojan horse or patch software

[samybill]

I'm very enthousiastic about PVR+ and like to install it on my LE40B652(T4PXZG) with CI+.
On the TV SWU_T-CHLCIPDEUC_002008_I02_ES000DS000_100620 is installed.

But I'm very cautious changing firmware and downgrading.
In the meantime I read a lot on this forum aswell as in the WIKI
However I did not take any action because I don't want to distroy my TV

Some chronological things are confusing to me, so let me pose some Questions to solve this:

• -When I have a recent Firmware installed and I run "SamyGO Telnet Enabler Trojan", will I be able to run SamyGo applications like PVR+ without any other modification of the Firmware?
  -When I install a compatible older firmware with "Force Firmware Back", will I be able to run SamyGo applications like PVR+ without any other modification of the Firmware?
  -When I have modified my recent firmware with f.i. "SamyGo Firmware Patcher" or an older firmware with "Geopatcher", can I run the buildin systemupdate of Samsung? Or do I have to run "Force Firmware Back"?

For sure - you could try copy PVR+ to internal TV`s memory and run PVR+ from there. Tell us if success. But no autostart: everytime you need PVR+, you have to go to ContentLibrary and start it manually...

-When I install a compatible older firmware with "Force Firmware Back", will I be able to run SamyGo applications like PVR+ without any other modification of the Firmware?

Same as first, but if not work on 2008.2, this time should work manually. No autostart possible.

-When I have modified my recent firmware with f.i. "SamyGo Firmware Patcher" or an older firmware with "Geopatcher", can I run the buildin systemupdate of Samsung?

Yes, sure. Patched firmware is ok and accepts any USB upgrade (back to postFEB if needed).

Or do I have to run "Force Firmware Back"?

If you need autostart of SamyGO games (like PVR+), then you don`t have any other choise. But if autostart not needed and PVR worked on 2008.2 firmware - it is up to you what to do.

I tried the first option "SamyGO Telnet Enabler Trojan"
All went well, but

When trying to play PVR+ and FTP-server from USB flash drive, error appeared 'not available'
When trying to copy the apps, error appeared 'not coded with your UDN'

What does this mean? Am I on the right track or doing something wrong?

[juusso]

Does mean, you have restricted, postFEB firmware. It doesn`t allow to use custom applications.

I found a trick to copy/upload to TV

I've put the apps in the "telner-enabler" folder and managed to upload to the "Children" folder. The PVR+ app runs(not autostrart) but the TV-image freezes, I think due to configuration of the app f.i. where to store the recordings.

When I should patch 2008.2 with "SamyGo Firmware Patcher", will I able to run apps autostart?

What features does this patcher change by the way?

Or is the only way to run "Force Firmware Back" and install 2006.0, to enable autostart?

[juusso]

Well

You re not able to install any firmware (patched or original) because TV wont accept it. So you don't get autostart in any case.

[samybill]

Then, What for is the Firmware patcher?

[juusso]

For preFeb firmwares. Not for restricted.

[samybill]

So, when I patch 2006.0(which is preFeb), I' should be able to install it with the buildin updater of Samsung, right?

[juusso]

If you need install patched preFeb firmware you:
1. Have to downgrade firmware to original 2006.0 (using FFB)
2. Install patched 2006.0 with the built-in updater.

SamyGO doesn`t recommend to use patched postFeb firmwares because of restrictions and limitations of functionality.
