Rooting LATEST H firmware [discuss]

[TOMillr]

i did the downgrade to 2130

Huh, did I miss something? How did you do a downgrade?

[zoelechat]

Are there so many subjects in Extras section for you to miss it?

So, for reference (@sectroyer: can we add this to a wiki page, separated by router firmware?), users with OpenWRT need to do the following to disable network updates:

/etc/config/dhcp:

Code: Select all

config dnsmasq
   ...
   list server '/msecnd.net/10.0.0.10'
   list server '/samsungotn.net/10.0.0.10'

Here's how it looks from the webend (LUCI):


Note! The server you forward the queries to has to be different than 127.0.0.1, otherwise you end up in a loop and overwhelm your router's DNS/CPU! Pick a private IP that you can't reach and you should be fine (or a reachable IP without a DNS server).

Results:

Code: Select all

root@arcturus:~# time nslookup samsungotn.net 192.168.1.1
Server:    192.168.1.1
Address 1: 192.168.1.1 arcturus.lan

nslookup: can't resolve 'samsungotn.net': Name or service not known

So, I'd say the issue is fixed for me as well... Yay!

I`m using OpenWrt 12.09 with Luci and I tried your above method of blocking the OTN support from the router side, but when I try to make a firmware update on the TV/h6500 with 2606.2/ I`m still getting a message, that there is no actual update for me at the moment. I think one should get a message, that there is no connection or connection failed or something similar.
Could you help me further to resolve the OTN blocking issue with my router?

Well, with my method the TV still displays that no update is available immediately when I try to search for an update. I don't get a timeout or anything. It hasn't updated (even though there are newer versions available), so it must work. There is one thing I never got a chance to try. Boot the TV (since it searches for available updates on boot as well) and wait for a number of hours and try manual update again. It is possible that the TV doesn't check for manual updates if it checked already in the last X minutes/hours.

Could somebody tell if it is possible to change the "root usb stick" with another faster one just by simply copying the files from the old one or there is another thing, which should be done/e.g. starting the root procedure again/.

No problem, you can even create a small partition on an HDD for example, and simply copy whole content of stick on it. Don't forget any plug/unplug of rooting usb HAVE to be done while TV off.

Okay guys, I have now a Problem, i rooted my 55H6600 NON-MST with he Firmware 1260.2 and i Disabled the "Update check" in my Router, because i can't access to the secret Menu (so I can't press there the Button for not checking the Samsung Websites). SO now I want to watch NETFLIX but the Major Problem is, as long as the Websites with the Child Security is blocked, (the only Way to do this) it is not possible to start the Episodes on netflix.
Maybe you could help me.

Thanks

• Use libFWdowngrade to downgrade to 1230 (latest one with OTN non-greyed)
• Once downgraded, telnet to TV command to access extended service menu:

  Code: Select all

  samyGOrc -p $(pidof exeTV) 31; samyGOrc -p $(pidof exeTV) 59

• Disable OTN support, release blocking on router level, done
