Is it safe to update f7000 to 1119 in order to use skype?

Post by nono2lozere »

Hello,

I will have a ue40f7000 and I will root it for sure but I want to keep skype working, so I think I will update firmware to 1119 and use "new" root method.
Before trying I would like to know if it's possible and safe or I should keep old firmware without skype working.

Thanks.

Keep old firmware, make Skype working and use new rooting method :) Updating won't fix Skype :) only reseting smart hub apps will :)
I do NOT support "latest fw" at ALL. If you have one you should block updates on router and wait for it to STOP being "latest":)
If you want me to help you please paste FULL log(s) to "spoiler"/"code" bbcodes or provide link(s) to pasted file(s) on https://pastebin.com Otherwise "NO HELP"!!!
If you want root DISABLE internet access to your device!!!!
DO NOT EVER INSTALL FIRMWARE UPGRADE !!!!

Just to be sure: new rooting method also works on old firmware?
If yes that's cool!
