Hacking TV over Hotel mode (most C series models)

2011-04-14T21:48:50Z

Gdkags: /* Tested and works on TV */

'''Universal USB disk to hack C series TV'''

''''''WARNING - Do not type ''reboot'' in console - it was the reason on few bricked TVs.'''

After hack your TV you can connect to TV via Telnet, you get CIFS (Samba) and NFS support, FTP Server, WebUI, crond, ... 
Moreover, if you attach USB with script file "SamyGO.sh", it will be executed. 
This hack has unificated structure for comfortable script execution for developers (read below).
 
==Safety measures for C series TVs==
Make some important settings before start hacking TV:
* In service menu, '''enable Debug mode''' for the RS232 port.
::With TV switched off, press the following sequence on the remote: '''[INFO] [MENU] [MUTE] [POWER]'''
::Enter the '''Control''' menu and set the value of the '''RS232 mode''' to '''Debug'''.
::Once you're back to the main Service menu, you will have to power off the TV for normal operation.
::Notice that your TV will reset RS232 mode back to UART when you install another firmware (no matter if it's older or newer).
* Have a working '''[[Ex-Link Cable for C-Series]]''' at hand. (desirable)
::If you don't feel capable of soldering such a cable, you can find and buy a cheap (under '''$5''') '''[http://shop.ebay.com/i.html?_trkparms=65%253A12%257C66%253A2%257C39%253A1%257C72%253A4030&rt=nc&_nkw=usb+ttl&_sticky=1&_trksid=p3286.c0.m14&_sop=15&_sc=1 USB to TTL adapter]''' at eBay.

== Supported TV models ==
TV model is not important, you should check your firmware. 
* This hack '''works''' on all firmware versions (even latest firmwares):
T-TDT5DEUC
T-MSX5DEUC
T-MSX6DEUC
T-VALDEUC
T-VALAUSC (modification of hack needed)
* Hack '''does not''' work on TV with '''T-VAL6DEUC''' firmware.

== Preparation ==
1. USB > 1GB space (Windows users can use FAT32 formatted USB) 
2. TV in normal mode. Export channels from TV to clean FAT32 USB 
3. Activate Hotel Mode
[Mute] [1] [1] [9] [Enter]
set to '''on''' by pressing [left]
4. Export settings from TV to the same FAT32 USB ("Clone TV to USB") 
5. Unplug USB stick from TV and save files you get anywhere on PC 
6. Download [http://download.samygo.tv/C%20Series/HotelMode%20hack/network_opt_18.02.2011_1.zip network_opt_18.02.2011_1.zip], extract archive. You get 1GB file '''network_opt_18.02.2011_sda2.img''' 
*'''IMPORTANT:''' This is the 3rd version of the USB image, updated on 18.2.2011. 
::If you have hacked TV with the earlier version or over widget and you want have benefits of this hack, 
::you should [http://wiki.samygo.tv/index.php?title=Hacking_TV_over_Hotel_mode_%28most_C_series_models%29#TV_is_already_hacked re-hack TV].[[File:Win32diskimage_howto.png |right]] 
7. Make USB from this image with help of included win32diskimager (or "dd" if you are using linux)
* After win32diskimager finishes, you get two partitions on USB: one FAT32, accessible under Windows and a second, ext3 - not accessible under Windows. 
* You '''do not need''' to do any changes on ext3 partition. 
* '''All operations have to be done on the FAT32 partition, no linux needed.'''
 

== Installation. What to do if... ==
 
=== '''TV is not hacked''' ===
8. Attach Universal hack USB you made to PC. Copy channel settings file (you made in normal mode) to root of USB. 
9. Rename file (channel_list_LE32C550_1001.scm for C550) to zip
channel_list_LE32C550_1001.scm.zip
10. Add directory ''usb_mount'' with empty file in it (e.g. ''1.txt;'' - very important) to archive 
11. Rename back to channel_list_LE32C550_1001.scm
* You get files inside of archive:
Archive: channel_list_LE32C550_1001.scm

13. Exit from Hotel mode:
Mute-1-1-9-Enter
set to '''off'''
* Hotel Mode → Off
14. Attach USB to TV and import channel settings to TV. Everything must work without errors. 
15. Activate Hotel mode again.
Mute-1-1-9-Enter
set to '''on''' by pressing "left"
16. Import HotelMode settings you exported before (as is, with directories) ("Clone USB to TV") 
17. Press OK. 
18. TV restarts few times and starts in ''black screen''. DO NOT POWER OFF, DO NOT DISCONNECT USB! 
* '''Wait 3 minutes'''. After three minutes you can switch off TV.
* Switch on TV again
* Try connect to TV over Telnet (Port 23).
* If you get to console, congratulations.
* TV starts in Hotel mode. If you have your channel settings, you can deactivate hotel mode from service menu.
19. If you haven't got your channels back and if you can't Telnet to TV, it means something went wrong.
* Look for file ''first_run.ok'' and content of directory ''/result'' on USB
20. If you have Telnet after hack, execute:
cp $OPT_DIR/usr/restore/start.sh /mtd_rwarea/start.sh
21. Done.

=== '''TV is already hacked''' ===
(Over Hotel Mode or Widget - doesn`t matter)
* Make USB (steps 6. and 7.)
* Do not change anything
* Attach to TV and connect via SSH/Telnet
* Find your usb:
df -h | grep "/dtv/usb/sd"
* execute script '''first_run.sh''' with parameter of path to USB.
::e.g. if path to USB is '''/dtv/usb/sda1''', then command to enter is:
sh +x /dtv/usb/sda1/first_run.sh /dtv/usb/sda1
Path might be different on your TV, for example:
::/dtv/usb/sdb1/first_run.sh /dtv/usb/sdb1
::/dtv/usb/sdc1/first_run.sh /dtv/usb/sdc1
Check exact path over Telnet before you start.
* Wait until you get the message "Installation Completed!", but '''do not reboot TV 3 minutes''' (TV is making some dumps in this time, do not interrupt it.)
* Reboot TV (switch off, wait, switch on again)
* Done

== Normal operating of hacked TV ==
* To get access to TV (Telnet/FTP/WebUI) you must attach the same USB-stick that you created for this hack '''or''' prepare USB-stick with the latest [http://download.samygo.tv/C%20Series/ SamyGO-Extensions]. (If you need to know your CPU type enter '''cat /proc/cpuinfo''' into console.)

* Example for mounting a NFS-share manually:
cd /dtv/usb/sda1
mkdir videos
/bin/mount -o nolock 192.168.1.123:/videos /dtv/usb/sda1/videos -t nfs
Change IP to your NFS-server IP, path to USB might differ too (sdb1/sdc1).
* To watch movies, create empty directory on root of usb:
!network

== Bricked TV ==
* ''''''WARNING - Do not type ''reboot'' in console - it was the reason on few bricked TVs.'''

=== '''ExLink cable available''' ===
==== Screen is blank ====
If your start.sh has been written with errors, TV does not boot properly... 
* Unplug TV and wait 30 sec. Plug to AC, power on TV.
This should remove /mtd_rwarea/start.sh. If that did not help, try:
* Connect [[Ex-Link Cable for C-Series]], switch to debug mode:
10041004
enter:
31337 (removes /mtd_rwarea/start.sh)
or:
666 (removes /mtd_rwarea/start.sh, /mtd_rwarea/usb_mount, /mtd_rwarea/network_opt)
or:
44337794 (check file to know better what it does /mtd_rwarea/network_opt/sbin/44337794)

==== No reaction to USB, no telnet, but screen is on ====
* create empty file named '''kill_start.sh''' on root of USB
* power off TV
* attach USB and power on TV
/mtd_rwarea/start.sh should be deleted

If no success, then:
==== format /mtd_rwarea/ ====
If you do not have success or script finishes with error,
or you have hacked over Widget and it stopped working (on latest firmwares),
Format /mtd_rwarea over ExLink and get "virgin" TV back:
* Make [[Ex-Link Cable for C-Series]] attach to TV.
* Power off TV.
* Unplug network and antenna cable. Leave only ExLink and power cable plugged.
* Power on TV.
* Open terminal and connect to TV over ExLink.
* Apply these commands (followed by Enter):
10041004
81588
20089999
2
0
0
2 (advanced)
2 (DeviceManager Debug)
90 (DeviceManager MW Debug)
12 (DLNA, FLASH, ODD, HDD, MoIP Test)
11 (FLASH, HDD Format Test)
10 (or another, /mtd_rwarea/ partition number (14)

::On the last line you have to enter number of your /mtd_rwarea/. On C550 it is 10, but on other TV it can be other (e.g. 14)
::Try to hack TV again starting from step 7.

=== '''no ExLink cable available''' ===

* Create script on USB '''emergency_start.sh''' (kill_start.sh is to delete)
* Attach USB to TV on stand-by mode and power it on
* TV executes this script on boot.
Factory reset on ServiceMenu. This operation should delete ''/mtd_rwarea/network_opt''
*Hack TV with universal USB disk again

13. Exit from Hotel mode:
Mute-1-1-9-Enter
set to '''off'''
* Hotel Mode → Off
14. Attach USB to TV and import channel settings to TV. Everything must work without errors. 
15. Activate Hotel mode again.
Mute-1-1-9-Enter
set to '''on''' by pressing "left"
16. Import HotelMode settings you exported before (as is, with directories) ("Clone USB to TV") 
17. Press OK. 
18. TV restarts few times and starts in ''black screen''. DO NOT POWER OFF, DO NOT DISCONNECT USB! 
* '''Wait 3 minutes'''. After three minutes you can switch off TV.
* Switch on TV again
* Try connect to TV over Telnet (Port 23).
* If you get to console, congratulations.
* TV starts in Hotel mode. If you have your channel settings, you can deactivate hotel mode from service menu.
19. If you haven't got your channels back and if you can't Telnet to TV, it means something went wrong.
* Look for file ''first_run.ok'' and content of directory ''/result'' on USB
20. If you have Telnet after hack, execute:
cp $OPT_DIR/usr/restore/start.sh /mtd_rwarea/start.sh
21. Done.

=== '''TV is already hacked''' ===
(Over Hotel Mode or Widget - doesn`t matter)
* Make USB (steps 6. and 7.)
* Do not change anything
* Attach to TV and connect via SSH/Telnet
* Find your usb:
df -h | grep "/dtv/usb/sd"
* execute script '''first_run.sh''' with parameter of path to USB.
::e.g. if path to USB is '''/dtv/usb/sda1''', then command to enter is:
sh +x /dtv/usb/sda1/first_run.sh /dtv/usb/sda1
Path might be different on your TV, for example:
::/dtv/usb/sdb1/first_run.sh /dtv/usb/sdb1
::/dtv/usb/sdc1/first_run.sh /dtv/usb/sdc1
Check exact path over Telnet before you start.
* Wait until you get the message "Installation Completed!", but '''do not reboot TV 3 minutes''' (TV is making some dumps in this time, do not interrupt it.)
* Reboot TV (switch off, wait, switch on again)
* Done

== Normal operating of hacked TV ==
* To get access to TV (Telnet/FTP/WebUI) you must attach the same USB-stick that you created for this hack '''or''' prepare USB-stick with the latest [http://download.samygo.tv/C%20Series/ SamyGO-Extensions]. (If you need to know your CPU type enter '''cat /proc/cpuinfo''' into console.)

* Example for mounting a NFS-share manually:
cd /dtv/usb/sda1
mkdir videos
/bin/mount -o nolock 192.168.1.123:/videos /dtv/usb/sda1/videos -t nfs
Change IP to your NFS-server IP, path to USB might differ too (sdb1/sdc1).
* To watch movies, create empty directory on root of usb:
!network

== Bricked TV ==
* ''''''WARNING - Do not type ''reboot'' in console - it was the reason on few bricked TVs.'''

=== '''ExLink cable available''' ===
==== Screen is blank ====
If your start.sh has been written with errors, TV does not boot properly... 
* Unplug TV and wait 30 sec. Plug to AC, power on TV.
This should remove /mtd_rwarea/start.sh. If that did not help, try:
* Connect [[Ex-Link Cable for C-Series]], switch to debug mode:
10041004
enter:
31337 (removes /mtd_rwarea/start.sh)
or:
666 (removes /mtd_rwarea/start.sh, /mtd_rwarea/usb_mount, /mtd_rwarea/network_opt)
or:
44337794 (check file to know better what it does /mtd_rwarea/network_opt/sbin/44337794)

==== No reaction to USB, no telnet, but screen is on ====
* create empty file named '''kill_start.sh''' on root of USB
* power off TV
* attach USB and power on TV
/mtd_rwarea/start.sh should be deleted

If no success, then:
==== format /mtd_rwarea/ ====
If you do not have success or script finishes with error,
or you have hacked over Widget and it stopped working (on latest firmwares),
Format /mtd_rwarea over ExLink and get "virgin" TV back:
* Make [[Ex-Link Cable for C-Series]] attach to TV.
* Power off TV.
* Unplug network and antenna cable. Leave only ExLink and power cable plugged.
* Power on TV.
* Open terminal and connect to TV over ExLink.
* Apply these commands (followed by Enter):
10041004
81588
20089999
2
0
0
2 (advanced)
2 (DeviceManager Debug)
90 (DeviceManager MW Debug)
12 (DLNA, FLASH, ODD, HDD, MoIP Test)
11 (FLASH, HDD Format Test)
10 (or another, /mtd_rwarea/ partition number (14)

::On the last line you have to enter number of your /mtd_rwarea/. On C550 it is 10, but on other TV it can be other (e.g. 14)
::Try to hack TV again starting from step 7.

=== '''no ExLink cable available''' ===

* Create script on USB '''emergency_start.sh''' (kill_start.sh is to delete)
* Attach USB to TV on stand-by mode and power it on
* TV executes this script on boot.
Factory reset on ServiceMenu. This operation should delete ''/mtd_rwarea/network_opt''
*Hack TV with universal USB disk again

Enabling the PVR for C-Series

Gdkags:

This has been tested on LE40C650L1KXXU

Be very careful what you press on the remote whilst in service menu.

Move through menu list by pressing down or up arrow only.

only press right arrow to change an option.

NOTE: All user settings will be reset to default after this so write all your settings down on paper and reset them afterwards.

1. Put in a blank USB HDD/flash formatted to FAT32.
UPDATE: This step is not necessary, it can be set up without a USB flashdisk.

2. Turn on TV, push on remote control: MUTE-1-1-9-ENTER, Hotel Mode menu appears (H1) set HOTEL MODE to ON (right arrow) and then turn off TV.

3. Whilst TV is off invoke service menu by pushing INFO-MENU-MUTE-POWER on remote control (If this doesn't work try MUTE-1-8-2-POWER). This will turn the TV on and show the Service Menu (S1).

4. In service menu move down to Control and select this (right arrow) - new menu appears (S2) - move down to Hotel Option and select this (right arrow) - new menu appears (S3) - move down to Clone TV to USB and select this (right arrow). TV then checks USB.
- Completed Successfully -select ok- enter.

H1 menu appears - press return.

S4 menu appears - move up to Sub Option category and select (right arrow).

new large menu appears (S5)

5. In this menu move down to PVR Support and set to ON (right arrow). (Move to PVR by pressing down button, no right!) This option now appears on its own on the TV screen, press return to go back to main menu again (S5)

5a. You can also set Gemstar Support to on if required for the GuidePlus EPG.

6. Press return to go back to previous menu (S4) and move down to Hotel Option and select this (right arrow). H1 menu appears then set Hotel Mode to OFF (right arrow) and power off your tv.

7. Turn tv on normally. PVR is now enabled

If you now press record or pause whilst watching live TV the TV will ask to format the USB drive. If this is done successfully the PVR function should now work and you enter timeshift mode and begin to record to the USB.

In media player mode there is a new "TV Recordings" category. You can select this to access your recordings and there are management functions in the tools menu.

In the EPG when you press info on a tv program you should now have the option to record it. and a red clock icon appears next to the program.

If you enabled Gemstar (GuidePlus) you can access this by going into:- Menu/Antenna/Guide

If you go into Menu/Antenna/Channel Manager and then press the tools button you can access the "Timer Recording" where you can easily setup any time, channel, start and end time - like oldie VHS recorder.
