I don't know what you were doing for "hours" you mentioned. You've found your way and your TV probably survived. That's good.
However I'm not too happy reading your "how-to". You recommend using pre-customised firmware.
You should to know that sourceforge is nor a warez site, so we do
not have an option of publishing Samsung's firmware with our patches.
I admit that after splitting the forum and wiki to A B C and D series, there is little info for A series.
I also admit that previous versions of SamyGO Extensions Pack and elfpatcher from arfix-sh 1.1 was unusable due to lack of testing.
Now A series/sh4 stuff should be ok.
I've just rewritten wiki page
Samsung A Series (sh4 CPU) Hacks
riimiix or anybody else, please try to act upon wiki and give feedback here. Or even better ask admin for wiki writer permission and help us.
PS: if you want to ask about arfix-sh or about hacking A series/sh4 TVs, use appropriate topic. Some people use notifications from interesting topics and tend to ignore others. I do it this way, no time to read more.
