[How To] Get root access on F series

[drej]

Hello. I installed samyGo App an use the "data" for USB on first Thread. SamyGo said in Step1 OK in Step2 also OK. I switched off my TV and start it after 2 minutes. Then i start WINSCP an try to connect to TV.

FileProtocol: FTP
Hostname: IP of my TV
Port: 21
Username: root
Password: empty

I always get this Message.
No connection could be made because the target machine actively refused it.
Connection failed.

does anyone have a solution for this problem?

My TV: Samsung UE55F7090SL

Which firmware version?

[drej]

1118

[zoelechat]

Warning : Firmware upgrade and root

[drej]

how can i get the older firmware? will the firmware be downgradet when i do factory reset in service men??

[zoelechat]

If downgrade was possible in any way, there would be no need for a global warning

So there is no way to root fw later than 1118, even with donation?

"greater or equal to 1118" means it suits 1118 and later

I should have scrolled to here (end) to understand why ftp does not work after "successfully" installed SamyGO. My UEF55F6500 already has FW 2102, unfortunately.
Any other way than just give up?

No other way, except newest rooting method from donor's area

Thank you, SamyGO developers. Donating is really worth to support your work and effort.
