E-Series Advice

I`m not sure about E series, but on D series all browser stuff (history including) is stored in some database file, called fbuxCache.db.

SpoilerShow

Do you see FullBrowserHistory tab?

More about this database file you can read here.
database can be opened with sqlite3. But to get it out, you have to get root access first.

Your next steps could be -
a) wait for anyone with rooted ES8000 (or any E series...) who can confirm /mtd_rwcommon/webkit/etc/WebkitPlugin/fbuxCache.db (or any other database, other location) exist in /mtd_rwcommon (or subdirectories) and give us for inspection.
b) Copy this file from your TV using modified widget.

Brilliant, thank you for taking the time to reply.
Is there a modified widget available for the E-Series ? Or I read on the E-Series Proof of concept thread that there may be a modded firmware that includes shell access?
Thanks again,

[juusso]

Yes, patched firmware is online. But if TV isn`t yours, here is no way to get back to stock firmware (yet) - no problem because of that?
I suggest you to use widget way, because you need only one file from TV. Here is no working widget for T-ECPDEUC based TVs, but for T-MST10PDEUC only.
You could easy modify it by self (check this post)

Great, my test TV is a T-MST10PDEU so , I will have a read and give it a go.
Then at least there is an option if required.
I originally tried contacting Samsung themselves about help and after speaking to about 4 different departments, they said they couldnt help and had no idea. They also said they would "Ask Korea" lol.
So I am very grateful for your help (and this forum/project), the world needs people like you guys it make it a better place!

Awesome!
Shell access is working a treat!
Just need to copy everything on to a pen drive now from there. DD should do it?
THanks again!

Sound like you're doing some forensics there...

"dd" would do it, and is recommended! Also, because it would fetch removed "tmp" files used by the web browser. These are probably not all over written due to the eMMC wear-leveling algo, so that you could retrieve them by some other tool...

[pcrombie]

Yup
Im not really a linux person, but your right, two reasons, I have a job looking at this and im a bit baffled and new to all this.
Im going to try execute some commands and parse them to a text file. Although, from my messing around originally, I noted that if you add another usb drive it doesn't like it. while the shell access is live. So im going to re-try it with a bigger drive 4Gb should be big enough?
Its quite hard without having the verbose feedback in the terminal so im going to blindly try these.. any other suggestions welcome...
date
ls -LR
fdisk -l
lsblk
top
ps -ejH
ifconfig
cp -a
dd
cut -d: f1 /etc/passwd
uname -a

Thanks again for your help, any further suggestions welcome, i'll let you know how it goes!
