For this procedure you have to enter to the Service menu of the TV:
:: 1. With TV switched off, press the following sequence on the remote: '''[INFO] [MENU] [MUTE] [POWER]'''
:: !!!At this point be careful. Values are changeable with Left/Right keys. Moving in the menu is only with Up/Down!!!
:: 2. Have to turn off the OTN Support
::: 2.1 For E-series - have to locate the OTN Support to avoid future firmware updates.
:::: 2.1.1 E-5xxx/6xxx : Service Menu -> "Control" -> "Sub Option" -> "OPTION_SWU" -> "OTN Support" -> Off

Ex-Link Cable for C/D/E Series and BD players

2012-10-01T09:47:18Z

Greenhorn: /* E series Service port */

On most C-Series the Ex-Link port is located at the VGA connector of the TV.

This page explains how to access the serial console on C-Series TVs with no 3.5mm Ex-Link jack.

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.

== Enable Debug mode in service menu ==
Prerequisite: Set the RS232 Jack to "Debug" in the [[Service_Menu]].
* In service menu, '''enable Debug mode''' for the RS232 port:
:: With TV switched off, press the following sequence on the remote: 
:::*UE,LE models:'''[INFO] [MENU] [MUTE] [POWER]''' 
:::*UN,UA models:'''[MUTE] 1 8 2 [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).

== Cabling ==
As the TV has TTL level serial output (3.3V) a TTL-level to RS232-level adaptor is needed,
normal RS232 Level is up to 15V which can cause seriously damage at your TV!

You need to use either Nokia CA-42 or MAX232 based cable from steps below, you don`t need to solder both ;) 

=== Nokia CA-42/DKU-5 USB ===
--[[User:Greenhorn|Greenhorn]] 11:17, 7 March 2012 (UTC)
This is pre-made Exlink cable that cost less than 3 EUR. You have to do just simple modification of old Nokia data cable.

----

====What you will need:====

- Some soldering skills.

- Some means of determining continuity (e.g. a multimeter + hand-held probe leads).

- Some means of stripping insulated wires.

- A willingness to invalidate your warranty.

- A CA-42, or DKU-5 (some later Nokia phone cables e.g. the DKU-2, CA-53, CA-70 - which look similar are actually pure USB cables with no transceiver - DON'T use these, they won't work.

- 15 Pin Male VGA Case Replacement Adapter Set Assembly

- Suitable safety gear.

- Pliers, glue/tape, and volt meter (optional).

- PL2303 driver

====Cut and Strip Insulation from the Cable====

Cut the data cable about 60mm from the Nokia connector end, strip away approx 20mm of the outer sheath, and remove approx 3mm of insulation from each inner core.

[[File:CA-42_and_DKU-5_disassembled.jpg|400px]]

The cables I bought were of two different designs, this may well vary from manufacturer to manufacturer.

1.CA-42 cable, and had 3 wires - ground, data transmit, and data receive.

2.DKU-5 cable had 5 wires - well as txd, rxd, gnd and additional wires can be safely left disconnected.

====Identify Each Wire====

Establish which core is connected to which pin on the Nokia connector end (Nokia "pop port") using your continuity tester. The part of the "pin-out" which we care about are:

- pin 1 On both of the cables I used, pin 1 is actually missing.

- pin 2 On both of the cables I used, pin 2 is also missing.

- pin 3 (normal length) connected to one of the wires on DKU5, but not needed (isolate this wire)

- pin 4 (sticks out a bit further)+3.3v this is used to power the transceiver on the DKU-5 cable I have (red), but not the CA-42

- pin 5 (not connected)

- pin 6 (normal length) serial Rxd

- pin 7 (normal length) serial Txd

- pin 8 (sticks out a bit further) Signal Ground (GND)

- pin 9 to 14 not connected, and missing on both my connectors

[[File:CA-42_DKU-5_pinout.jpg|300px]]

Now get the wires that goes to pin 6,7,8. As you already identified which are Rx, Tx, GND, have to connect/solder the CA-42/DKU-5 wires with the 15 Pin Male VGA Case Replacement Adapter Set Assembly

[[File:plug.jpg|300px]]

and build this:

[[File:VGA-Exlink.jpg|300px]]

Finally will looks like: 
[[File:Dku5_exlink.jpg|400px]]
[[File:Cable DKU-5.jpg|300px]]

====Install PL2303 drivers to PC====
'''NB!''' You have to install PL2303 drivers to PC to get your cable working. 
Download [http://download.samygo.tv/Others/PL2303_Prolific_DriverInstaller_v10518.zip from here].

===Build MAX232 based cable ===

*Pin 4 at the VGA connector is RX (from the TV's point of view)
*Pin 11 at the VGA connector is TX (from the TV's point of view)
*Pin 5,6,7,8 and the case at the VGA connector are GND

==== MAX232 adaptor circuit V1 ====
Here is a simple circuit using a MAX232 chip to convert the signal from TTL to RS232 level.
The Pinout of the connectors is shown at the circuit:

[[File:circuit.jpg|200px]]

And a picture of the completely assembled board:

[[File:Board.jpg|200px]]

==== MAX232 adaptor circuit V2 ====
See here [http://www.mikrocontroller.net/articles/AVR-Tutorial:_UART]

==== Warning ====
As written before, do never connect your TV directly to the serial port of your PC, as the TV has TTL-level (3.3V) and the PC has normal RS232-level your TV could seriously get damaged by dircet connection!

==== Connection chain over USB ====
Recent PCs do not have a RS232 port anymore, but there are USB adaptors available. Most of them use a PL2303 chip for converting the RS232 signal to USB.

The following figure shows the connection chain:
[[File:Samsung_tv_serial_console_connections.jpg|400px]]

This could look like:

[[File:Picture_of_cabling.jpg|200px]]

===Use Arduino to access Serial Console with telnet ===

See [[Ethernet to IR and Serial Console Interface]]

== E series Service port==
The ExLink cable for E series is same C/D series cable, but the distal part of cable ends not with VGA female, but 3.5 stereo jack:
[[File:TTL-232_E_pinout.jpg|400px]]

for example:
CA-42 Nokia <=> 3,5" jack TV
-----------------------------------
6 <-> 2 Rx
7 <-> 1 Tx
8 <-> 3 Gnd

[[File:Exlink_E-series.jpg|400px]]
----

== Start the terminal ==
===Linux PC===
On a Linux PC, install 'cu' (call up) tool from the ''uucp'' package and run
<pre>cu -l /dev/ttyUSB0 -s 115200</pre>
===Windows PC===
On a Windows PC, use Hyper Terminal or [http://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/putty/download.html Putty]. 
After you have started PuTTY, follow the steps in the screen shots below. 
[[File:ExLinkPuttySettings1.png|300px]][[File:ExLinkPuttySettings2.png|300px]]
[[File:ExLinkPutty3.png|600px]]

== Turn on TV ==

== Read output ==
Output should be human readable, like in the following listing. If you get nothing, then your cabling/settings are incorrect. If you get garbage, then you have problems with the MAX232 circuit.

== Enabling serial input and recover your TV from bricked hack==
*Connect your communications software and open the serial port
I usually use Mac. Even I could open the port and I could see the info from the TV I couldn't interact with keyboard.
So I decided to use HyperTerminal. The old Windows built-in communications software.
Windows 7 does not include this software, but you can download it from the web. Just google it.

*Turn on your TV set, if everything is connected like described at the steps before the serial log should be shown at the serial terminal.
*The TV will keep on sending info, but when the rithm stops a little bit then send next command.

*Enter '''10041004''' (when typing the digits '''No Imput is shown''' at the serial terminal) and confirm with '''Enter'''.
*In my case the SERIAL INPUT MANAGE was activated just pressed 10041004. No ENTER was needed.

after that you should see:
<pre>

*Now your system is clean. On next reboot your TV will regenerate that partition, and your devices will be mounted again as before.
*Now you've learn this lesson, you can hack your TV again :)

Entering the Factory Setup Menu

2012-10-01T09:44:59Z

Greenhorn: /* FaNet method */

== Old Firmwares ==

(a more accurate info on firmware version is needed !)

You can enter the Factory Setup Menu by sending the following key combination :
KEY_INFO, KEY_FACTORY

On BD players, you can only send KEY_FACTORY by network (use 'ruSamsungCommunicator' or see http://forum.samygo.tv/viewtopic.php?f=18&t=3780)

'''To exit the Factory Setup Menu :'''
* Send KEY_FACTORY twice

== Latest Firmwares ==

Since BD-E has been released, new firmwares don't include the network KEY_FACTORY code anymore.

ruSamsungCommunicator cannot be used any longer to enter the Factory Setup Menu.

Both BD-D and BD-E series are impacted.

You have to use an alternative method :

== FaNet method ==

If you have an USB port on your unit, you can probably use FaNet.
FaNet allows you to send RS232 commands.

This way, you can send KEY_INFO and KEY_FACTORY.

To do so, use 2 FTDI TTL-232R cables (3v3 or 5v does not matter, but must be the same for both cables) connected together on the TTL side.
Of course, you have to cross RX and TX.
You can either solder wires on two male connectors, or directly plug wires into the FTDI female connector as shown below.

You now have a USB-USB serial cable :

[[File:USB-USB cable detail.jpg|400px]]

If you already have build Exlink cable for C/D-series and E-series, you can easy build FaNet adapter:

[[File:FaNet_adapter1.jpg|400px]]
[[File:FaNet_adapter_2.jpg|400px]]

All you need is DB15Female connector and 3.5mm jack. On the DB15Female connector you will use:

Pin 5 - Tx

Pin 7 - GND

Pin 11 - Rx

Finally looks like:

Connect your PC to your BD with this cable.

Use the following binary files to send commands to your unit :

[http://forum.samygo.tv/download/file.php?id=1370 FaNet keys]

For example, on Windows, type the following commands to enter the setup menu (replace com4 with your port) :
mode com4:9600,n,8,1,p
copy /b info.bin com4
copy /b factory.bin com4

And to exit service menu :
copy /b factory.bin com4
copy /b factory.bin com4

Alternatively, you can use the following software :

== Debug Console enabled devices ==

To enter the Factory Setup Menu, use the following method :

* Connect to the serial console (see [[Serial console]])
* Enter the Top Debug Menu on the serial console (enter 20102011, then 2008999)
* Enter 12 for 'Subsystem DBG'
* Enter 6 for 'SsKeyInputDebug'
* Enter 1 for 'Key Input'
* Enter 1 for 'Process Key Input'
* Choose 0 for KEY_TYP_RC
* Enter 59, but don't press enter
* On your IR remote, press INFO
* As soon as you see the info popup, press enter on the serial console...
* Once, you have the menu, press RETURN on your IR remote

If you don't get the menu :
* message 'unavailable' on the screen : you've waited too long between the info popup and sending 59 on the serial console...
* no message : you've sent 59 too soon...

Explanations :
* Code 59 stands for KEY_FACTORY (decimal 59 = 3B hex = index for KEY_FACTORY, see [[Key codes]])
* The delay between KEY_INFO and KEY_FACTORY is very short (around 1 second), so if you don't prepare your entry for VF_FACTORY on the serial console, you get a timeout and no setup menu...
* This procedure leaves the input routine in a bad state (VK_FACTORY not released) : you have to press a key (RETURN as mentionned above, but any key will work) on your remote to return in a normal state.

'''To exit the Factory Setup Menu :'''
* Enter 1 for 'Process Key Input' on the serial console
* Choose 0 for KEY_TYP_RC
* Enter 59; you are now in the Factory Setup Menu 'Aging' state
* Press RETURN on your IR remote
* Send 59 once more as above
* Press RETURN on your IR remote; you have completely exited the Factory Setup Menu
