[Needs Root] UN55HU6830 55" 4k UHD Smart TV

So I made a topic over here (before I found out that only donators can get access to H series rooting info):

viewtopic.php?f=78&t=9154

Now you have all my info.

Oh, here is my service menu. I'm pretty sure I do NOT have OTN/OTA/Updates enabled.

Yes, this is with 3SPEED for extra settings in my Service Menu, this is what I have available.

I'm under the impression that once you send the FACTORY+3SPEED code, it'll unlock more settings and allow you to enter the Advanced menu in the very 1st screen in the Service Menu. I sent the F+3S code, I got more settings, however, pressing left or right or enter on the Advanced Menu doesn't do anything. Is there something else I need to do?

Now: who's working on my firmware? Any ETA's?

So why open a new one? Your post has nothing "Extra" and will soon move to public. Extras section is reserved to donor's content and related questions. I mean: questions you can't ask without disclosing anything. Here I don't see any :)

I'm a bit confused.

Someone had informed me that basically H series rooting info will only be made private for donors, so that's why I made a post in the Extras section.

There is also a sticky for H series firmware rooting, although my firmware isn't on the list, I figured I'd have better luck posting in both places.

That way I have public help from non-donors and also can get help from donors who only post H series related things in the Extras section.

None of our TV's are necessarily the "main" or "most common" TV so all of our TV's and firmware versions should have separate posts at first, then a roundup post later that includes H series TV's from 6XXX,7XXX,8XXX series with firmwares T-NMXXXXXX whatever lol

I'd appreciate it if I could have both these posts.

I will ensure that I NEVER share the Extras info with my Public post. I know this is against the rules and results in a insta, perma ban, which I don't want lol

I hope you understand, thank you for taking the time to read my reply and for any considerations you might make.

Ok, let's admit, but "posting everywhere" won't accelerate things anyway :)

I totally understand that, but we can also agree that there will always be users who want to donate and keep their works for Donators only, and there will always be people who don't care and want all of their works to be public for anyone.

And since you have that segregation, having 2 appropriate posts I think is properly acceptable.

I promise: just these 2 posts. I won't start spamming. I know things take time, I'm just covering my 2 available bases: Free users and Donors.

Segregation Donation system is unfortunately the only way to purchase needed hardware for development. Nobody here earn any money, and sooner or later all donor's content is meant to move to public. It's not a matter of "property", but because goodwill doesn't yield enough.
If you insist, your post can stay there, but anyway when your model/fw will (hopefully) be rootable, its method will probably be merged to existing H thread, not "somewhere in a discussion"...

Ah, I am more understanding of your reasoning now.

Would the best thing to do is just wait with my public post and have this thread deleted?

We could actually probably link this in the wiki or FAQ and rename it: Why you don't need to post 1 topic in both the Extras and Public forums.

What do you think?

From your photo it looks like you DO HAVE OTN Support set to ON because there is NO OTN Support set to OFF there :)

Then it looks like I can't disable it, yet.

That's not the problem or the question any ways, your post is a bit off-topic.

I just want to know who's working on my TV series or firmware.

You just need to enter ADVANCED SERVICE MENU and look SOMEWHERE ELSE :) Look until you find OTN Support. Few places you might check are described on wiki. Link in my description :)
