ok, I misunderstood how console unlock works.
you changed smthg in rootfs?
also the extensions are executed once.

when the bootloop started? on first boot after downgrade?
I didn't change anything, this happened on 1st reboot after download, where FW gets flashed to it's partition.
hm, strange then looks like for some reason the /mtd_rwarea/UPGRADE_START was not deleted ...

what's tv trys to do if you plug an usb-pen with an usb-update firm and then let it reboot?

I did try that, it doesn't pay attention to the usb.

can you check this viewtopic.php?f=24&t=5315#p38682 ? usb hotplug script is patched (run.sh on root of usb-pen) maybe it will be executed, then you can format /mtd_rwarea from here

yes, run.sh is executed from root of usb. What should I put in it? rm /mtd_rwarea/UPGRADE_START ?

edit:
whoohoo! Thanks arris and juuso, wiping out /mtd_rwarea did the trick. I wasn't sure how to format it so I just did rm -rf /mtd_rwarea in run.sh and after a couple of reboots I am back in business.

It seems this modified FW is stable and robust to user mistakes :D Thank you.
