[ROOT] Rooting E/F on latest firmwares

[cmuc05]

Thank you. And what exactly does the update magic and why it is risky?

That is EXACTLY what I don't want to post Everything is in /etc/profile If somebody understands it and wants to try it NOT my fault Let's just say that "update magic" used incorrectly can even cause brick

@sectroyer: I understand you. But where can a Rooting Newbie learn, how this rooting works in detail and how is it made. Is there detailed information somewhere?

[hucky]

Hi again,
so I will precise my targets what I want to do with "root".

I like to install "noDRM" on my F6750. So I started with:
"1. Extract attached archive and copy libNoDRM.so to /mnt/opt/privateer/usr/libso (folder may not exist on E series, create it if needed)"

First problem:
There is no /mnt/opt/privateer/... path on the tv. When I connect via nc 1023 I reach
a directory with content

Not possible to change or leave with "cd ".

Then I tried ftp.

So it is not possible to "copy libNoDRM.so to /mnt/opt/privateer/usr/libso (folder may not exist on E series, create it if needed)"

Now, again my question

What can I do?

[zoelechat]

folder may not exist on E series, create it if needed

folder may not exist on E series, create it if needed

Now, again my question
What can I do?

Code: Select all

cd /mnt/opt/privateer/usr/libso

Or use an FTP GUI such as FileZilla, you'll see clearer
Btw, also prefer Telnet on port 23 to nc on port 1023.

[hucky]

No chance!

btw, of course /mnt exists but it is empty, so "cd /mnt/opt ..." makes no sense.

[zoelechat]

Are you talking about F or H? Empty /mnt is well known issue on H, but much less on F.
Anyway in both cases it means samyext4.img is not mounted and your root is incomplete/broken.

[hucky]

Its the F-model.

So we have to relevate the statement "PVRdecoder works -> device rooted" ...

I'll try again to achieve REAL FULL ROOT

[zoelechat]

So we have to relevate the statement "PVRdecoder works -> device rooted" ...

It's generally assumed that root=SamyGO, that's why I said "incomplete", because you have root but no SamyGO
Such state is enough for PVRdecoder to work, but not to use nor install any "SamyGO extension".

[hucky]

OK,
after more then 10 times trying to root, the same result all the time.
Last three entries of first sequenze in rooting screen are red.
Any hints?

Yeah you are using WLAN

[hucky]

Yeah you are using WLAN

Not at all!! I can read even big letter lines in red

But I use ethernet connection via powerline adapters
and internet is over LTE

Hmm, no real chance to change this without a lot of work...
Ah, I remember a looooong CAT5 cable 25m or so, I'll give it a try.

Will keep you informed
