Re: [App] Rooting H series (updated 25/06/2015)

Ok, I'm back again with a few more tests (I can't manage to install Skype on 2130 - see the issue a couple of posts before).
I tried again to install skype, this time over my cellular network (phone acted as a hotspot) and it failed in the same way - so it's not a network/ISP error. I captured the requests again and downloaded the skype image from my laptop:
The image looks good, but my question now is - assuming I reroot with the new method, how/where would I copy this file to the TV to "force install Skype"?
After reading the forum for a while (viewtopic.php?f=48&t=5340) it would seem there is no way to locally install a widget without it going through Smarthub - is my understanding correct?
I have three options now:
1. Try a SmartHub reset
2. Try a TV reset to factory defaults
3. Set up a webserver to serve this img file for that request and trick the TV to download the file from my server - in hopes this time it will work.
I'm going to try with #3 first, because it's more fun, but if I fail which options should I try?
Thanks
