On this page, you will find hacks related to B series Televisions. In order to use these hacks you must have firmware that supports them. These are the unrestricted firmwares that can be found on the SamyGO compatibility list or on this page [[Old & Good Firmwares]].

If your television is supported by SamyGO but you do not have the firmware that allows SamyGO apps to run, you will need to update your television to a firmware that is compatible with SamyGO. Once your television has firmware that supports SamyGO then you can run the SamyGO apps.

The instructions you need to follow maybe slightly different depending on whether you have CI and or CI+ firmware on your television. Please make sure that the instructions you are following are the correct ones for your firmware type.

'''Pro members could go directly to''' [[#Hey! I'm an advanced user|Hey! I'm an advanced user]] ''' page.'''

==How can I run a SamyGO app on my B-series TV?==

1.'''Update your television to supported stock or patched firmware.''' If your firmware is already supported you can stop here and proceed to step 2. If not, then the easiest way to do this is by using a script called FFB or [[Forced revert back to older firmware]]. This script will allow you to install an earlier firmware that supports SamyGO. Certain '''key points''' about this process:
**Use the script FFB only if your television is supported. Only certain CI models are supported at this time. If your model is not listed and it's a CI television then consider asking for support in the appropriate section of the SamyGO forum.
**Prior to running the script, you '''MUST''' have your full firmware downloaded and extracted on the root of your USB drive. You can download your firmware from [http://www.samsung.com/us/support/downloads/ Samsung download center]. That link is just an example for US TV models. Similar Samsung websites are available for every market where Samsung products are sold.
**Prior to running this script you must also add some missing files to the firmware directory. These vary by television model but are necessary to restore the u-boot function, the kernel and other files that the restricted firmware has removed to limit access to your television . These files (u-boot.bin, Image and fnw.bin) are '''SPECIFIC''' to your television model. They are typically added in the image subdirectory of your firmware on the USB flash drive. If you can't find the specific files for your television model posted on the forums, then ask in the support forum for help. '''DO NOT attempt''' to run this script without having all the required files.
**You may used either original firmware or patched firmware with the FFB script. If you want to use the patched firmware.
**Remember, the SamyGO community is not liable for any damages that are caused to you or your property in the event of a catastrophic event (brick your TV) related to things you do to your television. The community does this for recreational purposes and has had great success. In the event that your television is damaged we can not be held liable but we will do our best to help you recover your bricked TV.

2. '''Run the Samy Go app you like.'''
You can find a list of apps for B series televisions on the [[Content_Library_applications_list|Content Library applications list]]. This page typically has a brief description of the app functionality, a link to download the file as well as a link to the forum where the develop seeks, feedback, can help with troubleshooting etc.
After you download the app, you should extract it directly to the root of a FAT32 formatted flash drive. You plug your Flash drive in a TV USB port.
If your TV is turned on a popup will appear that will prompt you to select:
Media play, content libary or software upgrade. Select Content Library.
In the content library menu select USB (left hand side) and move your highlighter to the games and/or children. You should see a list of the apps on your flash drive.

You have two options here. You can run the app from the flash drive or you can copy the app to the television internal memory.
To run an app highlight it, hit enter on your remote and then play.
If you don't get an error message then your app should be running.

==I like the SamyGO apps. Can I make them run automatically each time I turn on my TV?==

This can be achieved by installing patched firmware. Patched firmware will give you root access and the modifications will be written into your television's memory making them a permanent process of your television's functionality.

Steps required are:
#Download your television's firmware. You can download from [[Old & Good Firmwares]] page.
#Download the SamyGO Firmware Patcher. Detailed instructions on how to use this patch and where to download it can be found in the [[SamyGO_Firmware_Patcher|SamyGO Firmware Patcher]] page. Use '''"Advanced Mode"''' while patching.
#Install the patched firmware by USB method according to your television manual. This is a simple process by accessing the help menu on your television.
#Disable automatic updates if your television model supports these to avoid overwriting your patched firmware with other firmware versions.

==How can I telnet to my television?==
You must first enable telnet. You can do this by patching your firmware with an advanced startup script or manually enable telnet each time you need telnet. Detailed instruction can be found on the [[How to enable Telnet on samsung TV's|How to enable Telnet on samsung TV's]]page. If you need to create an advanced startup script you can read about that on the [[How to enable Advanced mode startup script|How to enable Advanced mode startup script]]page.

==Samsung's DLNA implementation sucks. Is there another way I can watch video files on my TV?==
You bet. Your Samsung television is essentially a type of computer, whose primary function is to display television programming. Secondary functions are apps that are located in the content manager (access by selecting the content button your TV remote). As a computer which runs on linux, it can read and understand network protocols and file sharing. The two main systems are [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Network_File_System_(protocol) NFS], a network file system used in linux, OSX, Unix systems and [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SAMBA SAMBA] used primarily in Windows computer systems. With the SamyGO extensions pack your television can access and read network files and playback content it understands: photos, music and video files. You can find this app in the [[Content Library applications list|Content Library applications list]]. You can also read more about mounting [[Mounting an NFS share on a USB device to bypass DLNA| NFS shares (Linux/OSX/NAS shares)]] and [[Mounting an CIFS/SAMBA share on a USB device to bypass DLNA|CIFS/SAMBA (windows) shares]] on their respective pages.

==How can I view DTS encoded media files?==

You need to download the extension [[Content_Library_applications_list#DCA_module| DCA module]]. Once you download the application, extract the files to the root of your FAT32 formatted USB drive. Under content management USB, go to Children and select DCA module. You need to copy this to your television internal memory. Leave the USB and go into the loaded content (left panel of your television screen). Under Children you will find two entries, SamyGO DCA and SamyGO DCA for CIP. If you have a CI television firmware, select DCA and run that app (select, enter, play). If you have a CI+ firmware television you need to select DCA for CIP module. Your screen will blink for a few secs. That's it, your television should be able to playback DTS media files.

==I'm ready for more advanced stuff. What can I do?==
These pages will help you go deeper in your television firmware:
*[[Dumping and Flashing images by hand]]
*[[Playing with Firmware Images]]
*[[Getting access to uBoot / bootloader]]
*[[Boot from USB using u-boot]]

==My television doesn't have an ethernet port or a wireless network connection. What can I do about that?==

These pages will be most informative:
*[[Using NoN-Samsung USB WiFi dongles with TV]]
*[[Enable Network support on B550 and B6000 Series Devices]]

==How can I record a television program with my television?==
You will need the PVR+ extension if your model is supported. You can read about that on this page:[[How to capture channel (PVR functionality)]]

==How can I flash new firmware on my CI+ B series TV?==
Relevant pages are here:
*[[Flashing Hacked Firmware to CI+ devices]]
*[[Enable Serial Console on non CI+ Devices]]

==I messed up and bricked my TV. What do I do now?==

Take a deep breath and try to relax. In most cases a full recovery is possible and is fairly straight forward. You will need: an ex-link cable, a computer with a serial port (USB to serial port adapters work also) and a terminal program, like [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PuTTY PuTTY].

If you followed our advice your television should already have the debug menu turn on and watchdog turned off. This will simplify the restoration process immensely. If you have followed the posted instruction, you should have restored the u-boot menu which was disabled by Samsung's more recent updates.

If you have a CI firmware television these pages are relevant:
*[[Recovery of Bricked Device]]
*[[Open backdoor for fixing bootloop situations]]
*[[Repair TV from u-boot]]

If you have a CI+ firmware television these pages are relevant:
*[[Enable Serial Console on non CI+ Devices]]

[[File:b_wiki.png|140px|right]]
On this page, you will find hacks related to B series Televisions. In order to use these hacks you must have firmware that supports them. These are the unrestricted firmwares that can be found on the SamyGO compatibility list or on this page [[Old & Good Firmwares]].

If your television is supported by SamyGO but you do not have the firmware that allows SamyGO apps to run, you will need to update your television to a firmware that is compatible with SamyGO. Once your television has firmware that supports SamyGO then you can run the SamyGO apps.

The instructions you need to follow maybe slightly different depending on whether you have CI and or CI+ firmware on your television. Please make sure that the instructions you are following are the correct ones for your firmware type.

'''Pro members could go directly to''' [[#Hey! I'm an advanced user]] ''' page.'''

==How can I run a SamyGO app on my B-series TV?==

1.'''Update your television to supported stock or patched firmware.''' If your firmware is already supported you can stop here and proceed to step 2. If not, then the easiest way to do this is by using a script called FFB or [[Forced revert back to older firmware]]. This script will allow you to install an earlier firmware that supports SamyGO. Certain '''key points''' about this process:
**Use the script FFB only if your television is supported. Only certain CI models are supported at this time. If your model is not listed and it's a CI television then consider asking for support in the appropriate section of the SamyGO forum.
**Prior to running the script, you '''MUST''' have your full firmware downloaded and extracted on the root of your USB drive. You can download your firmware from [http://www.samsung.com/us/support/downloads/ Samsung download center]. That link is just an example for US TV models. Similar Samsung websites are available for every market where Samsung products are sold.
**Prior to running this script you must also add some missing files to the firmware directory. These vary by television model but are necessary to restore the u-boot function, the kernel and other files that the restricted firmware has removed to limit access to your television . These files (u-boot.bin, Image and fnw.bin) are '''SPECIFIC''' to your television model. They are typically added in the image subdirectory of your firmware on the USB flash drive. If you can't find the specific files for your television model posted on the forums, then ask in the support forum for help. '''DO NOT attempt''' to run this script without having all the required files.
**You may used either original firmware or patched firmware with the FFB script. If you want to use the patched firmware.
**Remember, the SamyGO community is not liable for any damages that are caused to you or your property in the event of a catastrophic event (brick your TV) related to things you do to your television. The community does this for recreational purposes and has had great success. In the event that your television is damaged we can not be held liable but we will do our best to help you recover your bricked TV.

2. '''Run the Samy Go app you like.'''
You can find a list of apps for B series televisions on the [[Content_Library_applications_list|Content Library applications list]]. This page typically has a brief description of the app functionality, a link to download the file as well as a link to the forum where the develop seeks, feedback, can help with troubleshooting etc.
After you download the app, you should extract it directly to the root of a FAT32 formatted flash drive. You plug your Flash drive in a TV USB port.
If your TV is turned on a popup will appear that will prompt you to select:
Media play, content libary or software upgrade. Select Content Library.
In the content library menu select USB (left hand side) and move your highlighter to the games and/or children. You should see a list of the apps on your flash drive.

You have two options here. You can run the app from the flash drive or you can copy the app to the television internal memory.
To run an app highlight it, hit enter on your remote and then play.
If you don't get an error message then your app should be running.

==I like the SamyGO apps. Can I make them run automatically each time I turn on my TV?==

This can be achieved by installing patched firmware. Patched firmware will give you root access and the modifications will be written into your television's memory making them a permanent process of your television's functionality.

Steps required are:
#Download your television's firmware. You can download from [[Old & Good Firmwares]] page.
#Download the SamyGO Firmware Patcher. Detailed instructions on how to use this patch and where to download it can be found in the [[SamyGO_Firmware_Patcher|SamyGO Firmware Patcher]] page. Use '''"Advanced Mode"''' while patching.
#Install the patched firmware by USB method according to your television manual. This is a simple process by accessing the help menu on your television.
#Disable automatic updates if your television model supports these to avoid overwriting your patched firmware with other firmware versions.

==How can I telnet to my television?==
You must first enable telnet. You can do this by patching your firmware with an advanced startup script or manually enable telnet each time you need telnet. Detailed instruction can be found on the [[How to enable Telnet on samsung TV's|How to enable Telnet on samsung TV's]]page. If you need to create an advanced startup script you can read about that on the [[How to enable Advanced mode startup script|How to enable Advanced mode startup script]]page.

==Samsung's DLNA implementation sucks. Is there another way I can watch video files on my TV?==
You bet. Your Samsung television is essentially a type of computer, whose primary function is to display television programming. Secondary functions are apps that are located in the content manager (access by selecting the content button your TV remote). As a computer which runs on linux, it can read and understand network protocols and file sharing. The two main systems are [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Network_File_System_(protocol) NFS], a network file system used in linux, OSX, Unix systems and [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SAMBA SAMBA] used primarily in Windows computer systems. With the SamyGO extensions pack your television can access and read network files and playback content it understands: photos, music and video files. You can find this app in the [[Content Library applications list|Content Library applications list]]. You can also read more about mounting [[Mounting an NFS share on a USB device to bypass DLNA| NFS shares (Linux/OSX/NAS shares)]] and [[Mounting an CIFS/SAMBA share on a USB device to bypass DLNA|CIFS/SAMBA (windows) shares]] on their respective pages.

==How can I view DTS encoded media files?==

You need to download the extension [[Content_Library_applications_list#DCA_module| DCA module]]. Once you download the application, extract the files to the root of your FAT32 formatted USB drive. Under content management USB, go to Children and select DCA module. You need to copy this to your television internal memory. Leave the USB and go into the loaded content (left panel of your television screen). Under Children you will find two entries, SamyGO DCA and SamyGO DCA for CIP. If you have a CI television firmware, select DCA and run that app (select, enter, play). If you have a CI+ firmware television you need to select DCA for CIP module. Your screen will blink for a few secs. That's it, your television should be able to playback DTS media files.

These pages will be most informative:
*[[Using NoN-Samsung USB WiFi dongles with TV]]
*[[Enable Network support on B550 and B6000 Series Devices]]

==How can I record a television program with my television?==
You will need the PVR+ extension if your model is supported. You can read about that on this page:[[How to capture channel (PVR functionality)]]

==How can I Flash my CI+ B series TV?==
Relevant pages are here:
*[[Flashing Hacked Firmware to CI+ devices]]
*[[Enable Serial Console on non CI+ Devices]]

==I messed up and bricked my TV. What do I do now?==

Take a deep breath and try to relax. In most cases a full recovery is possible. You just need to have the right tools , an ex-link cable, a computer with a serial port and a terminal program, like Putty.

If you followed our advice your television should already have the debug menu turn on and watchdog turned off.
If you have a CI firmware television these pages are relevant:

SamyGO for DUMMIES

2011-02-01T15:33:30Z

Rhesus98: /* I want more functionality from my TV. What do I need to do? */ title simplification

I think we have a problem here in SamyGO. Older members tend to know a lot about embedded systems and their operating systems, but some newbies don't seem to know how to execute basic programs...
We thought that every one would know that, because of its relative simplicity. But we are wrong there. Also the Wiki pages are too overwhelming for some newbies.

I think we needed to create a wiki page `SamyGO for DUMMIES" and divert all newbies to that article before starting.
The article might mention about how you could execute programs on a TV or copy them to internal TV memory etc. Easy things, which we don't feel the need to talk a lot about.

So I created this page. Me and others will fill this area later on to show simple processes. Also put pictures about running steps of external applications from TV etc...

=Admin's Message for members to edit this page=
This is page for "dummies".

Please keep this page '''"simple as possible" and "modularized"''', means, do not put information if it's not really required and do not try to explain other article pages, just give a link to that article ( like Samba Mounting, firmware patcher etc...) Here needed to be just elementary information.

Thanks

=What is SamyGO?=
SamyGO started in the summer of 2009 as a thread at avsforum, under the title "Samsung LNXXA650 InfoLink hacking". This thread drew a lot of attention and slowly strayed away from its original topic towards rooting TV's and firmware hacking. It also got quite long, so Erdem U. Altinyurt and a few others decided to start a sourceforge project, specific for enhancement of the firmware of Samsung TV-sets, specifically aimed at models issued from 2008 onwards. Many people stayed on and came along from avsforum to sourceforge.

So that is what SamyGO is: A sourceforge project, aimed at enhancing firmware and functionality, specifically for Samsung TV models from 2008 onwards.

The activities of the SamyGO project comprise, but are not limited to:

#Gaining access to all available Samsung TV models from 2008 onwards (rooting).
#Active development of software extensions to enhance Samsung TV accessibility.
#Active development of applications to run on Samsung TV hardware.
#Giving support to project members who want to enhance their TV's functionality.

SamyGO is not a program that you can "just run" on your TV. Enhancing your hardware is not THAT simple. It requires some beginner and intermediate computer skills. The community will support you and is committed to helping you make this work for you. Remember however, that you need to do your part too. Read and try to understand. If you don't understand, ask in the appropriate forum. Proceed only once you understand what it is you are trying to achieve.

=I want more functionality from my TV. What do I need?=

In order to run SamyGO applications you need the following:

#A television that is supported by SamyGo Software. See the [[Compatibility| compatibility list]]. If you cannot find your model listed it '''does not necessarily mean''' that your model is not supported. Ask in the appropriate support forum. Developers are from different countries around the world. They don't have access to every television model on the market to personally test their apps. However all these televisions run on linux which makes this project possible.
# Find out which firmware version your TV is equipped with. Newer firmwares are not (yet) supported by SamyGO.
# Checkout the access route for your TV. This is in the supported models list. This is the way you access your television to run samyGO apps. If you're smart you'll also get an ex-link cable and take the necessary precautions (active debug and turn off watchdog in the service menu) to be ready in case of a serious user mistake.
#A USB drive formatted with FAT or FAT32. A rule of thumb is ALWAYS extract the files you are going to use directly to the USB drive. Linux executable have some file attributes that are not preserved if you copy them on NTFS( a windows only) file system.
# Get access! Follow the tutorials in the Wiki pages for that.
# Install the software you like/need.
# Enjoy your improved equipment!!

Each of these steps will be explained in the wiki.

=What is my TV model code and number ?=
[[File:Ue40b7020_model.png|right]]Model code and number are almost the same thing. The model number is a short form of the model code. This is a sample model code with the model number written bold.
'''UE40B7020'''WWXXC
You can read your model code from the sticker at the side or rear of your TV. Once you found the model, you can check whether it is supported by SamyGO [[Compatibility|here for A- and B-series]] and [[Compatibility_Table_for_C_series_TVs| here for C-series models.]]

=What is my firmware model and version ?=
You can learn your firmware number by entering the [[Service Menu]]. Read the detailed wiki page before proceeding with '''GREAT''' caution.

Do not change anything in the service menu until you understand what each setting does. The service menu is like entering the BIOS in a computer. It's where changes can be made to the "brain" that controls television functions. Making the wrong choice in a setting can result in a completely unexpected result and brick your television. To navigate the Service menu ''ONLY'' use the up and down button. Use enter to select and the previous button to return to the previous screen. '''DO NOT USE the RIGHT and LEFT''' buttons of your remote while navigating the service menu unless you know what you are trying to do. Using the left and right navigation butttons may change some variables that may easily brick your TV. If you do make a change to a menu, do not panic. Simply navigate in the opposite direction until the original variable is visible. The option that is visible is the selected option.

To identify your firmware version you only need to enter the main screen of the service menu. You do not need to navigate to other Service menu pages. Identification of your firmware version is important to determine whether your television firmware is supported by SamyGO [[Compatibility|here for A- and B-series]] and here for[[Compatibility_Table_for_C_series_TVs| C-series models.]] You exit the Service menu by turning off the television.

=Is my TV a CI or a CI+ device?=
Samsung has implemented increasing encryption with each series of televsions it releases. Earlier models had no firmware encryption, subsequent firmware releases have [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/XOR_cipher XOR]cipher encryption and the latest firmware releases utilize both AES and XOR encryption. This encryption limits how much editing of a firmware can be done despite the fact that the software Samsung uses is opensource and [http://opensource.samsung.com/ publicly available] per GNU and GPL licensing terms. Knowing the type of firmware utilized is important because it determines what kind of access you can obtain in your television's operating system. There are two types of firmwares based on access, CI and CI+ devices.

A television from the C series is always a CI+ device. B series models have two possibilities: If there is a P in the last part of the model code, it is most likely a CI+ device. The firmware version installed on these TV's has the letters CIP in the firmware version code. Otherwise it is probably a CI device. A series devices do not have encryption.

Some examples:
LE40B652T4'''W'''XXU device uses T-CHL7DEUC firmware, which indicates it is a CI device.
LE40B652T2'''P'''XXU device uses T-CHLCIPDEUC firmware, which indicates it is a CI+ device.
UE40B7020W'''W'''XXC device uses T-CHU7DEUC firmware, which indicates it is a CI device.
'''TODO: Add some UN,UE and PS model "codes" here.'''

You can also find your firmware name and version number in the [[Service Menu]].
This is important to know because there are different software solutions depending on whether your TV is a CI or a CI+ device. Software developers frequently develop two versions of software to support these two types of firmwares. Knowing what kind of TV you have will allow you to select the appropriate SamyGO app.

=What are Restricted Firmwares?=
Restricted Firmwares are original Samsung firmwares which have been released after 01 February 2010. These firmwares have been restricted in many ways by Samsung and have limited how much access one can gain inside their television's operating system. Here in the SamyGO community, we believe this is a deliberate effort to hinder and disable our software development efforts. It is probably also required by the copyright holders of certain parts of the encryption/decryption software for CI+.

Functions that have been removed by the release of these Restricted Firmwares are:
*ExLink Access , that allows us Serial connection to TV's bash line.
*Removal of Top Debug Menu that let us allow to configure every property of TV.
*Removal of u-boot code for that we use to run External firmwares and un-bricking TV.
*Removal of program copy and execution ability from USB disks.
*Removal of Alternative firmware firmware section to avoid reverting older firmwares.
*Additional security enhancements to avoid to flash hacked firmwares.

(*'''TODO: Anything that I forgot?")

If you are interested in applying any of the SamyGO software enhancements to your television's firmware, it's better not to have received any of these firmwares. However, do not despair if you have had your television crippled by these "updates". The ingenuity and hard work of the developers of the SamyGO community have found several work-arounds that will allow you to restore your television to an older firmware that allows SamyGO applications to run. They have also simplified and automated part of this process as much as it is legally possible.

Unfortunately, if you have a restricted firmware, you can't just plug and play. There are several steps that you need to take to gain back "ownership" of your television. Several steps are involved including, copying programs to your TV memory by using an open vulnerabilities such as the "Children Menu" hack or the Nurisam Trojan. This will allow you to move applications to TV and enjoy additional features currently no possible...

=How can I get access to my TV?=
Samsung televisions have an embedded operating system based on linux. When you turn your television on you are essentially operating a computer as a user. You are given limited access to core parts of the operating system by design. If you want more control of what your television you must give it commands to run additional pieces of software with the functionality you desire. To do this you need to obtain access to the television's operating system as a [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Superuser superuser or with root access].
To control any Linux-based system, you need root access to it (Administrator privileges in Windows). Depending on the type of TV and version of the firmware, this can be achieved in a number of ways. In the compatibility tables you can find the methods that have been used successfully for each type (The list is not complete yet, work in progress).
Depending on the firmware and television model you may be able to do this with a simple software installation from a USB drive or you may need to install modified firmware or may need to revert to an older version of firmware that has not been restricted by Samsung.
You can gain access to your televisions operating in several ways.Consult the compatibility table at the bottom of this page to determine which method you can use:

#'''USB''': Loading software from the USB port by flash drive. Restricted firmware has disallowed access to the built in functionality. This is also how patched firmware is flashed. This is also how content library SamyGO apps can be executed. A variation of this method ia hotel@USB which is required for newer television models like the C series. Other
#'''Telnet''': Once you have enabled telnet either by patching the firmware or running the telnet enabler app, televisions with ethernet connectivity can be controlled by telnet (or SSH) access via your computer network. Non ethernet models may also become network accessible by using a usb wi-fi dongle, another SamyGO application. These are advanced functions and should be executed once you understand these functions better.
#'''Ex-link Port''' An Ex-link port or service port which allows direct connection from your computer to the television. Many TV models (A and B series) are accessible through a serial port, called Ex-link. This is a serial port, with a 3.5mm stereo jack as a connector port that is called "connector for service only" in your television manual. To use this port, you will need a serial cable with the right layout, which is given [[Enable_Serial_Console_on_non_CI%2B_Devices|'''here'''.]] On the same page you will find how to enter the service menu of your TV, at least for a number of older types of televisions. Newer models (like C series televisions) do not have this access mode. It would be wise to make or buy such a cable prior to changing your firmware in the event of a catastrophic event that requires this connection to recover your television functionality(unbrick your TV).

=Understanding SamyGO app vs. SamyGO firmware modification=

Many developers contribute to the SamyGO community and the goal of each application they develop is to enhance the functionality of your television. Applications can be typically be used in two ways:

# Standalone app aka as a SamyGO app or extension
# Incorporation of the application function into the TV firmware

The first method does not require any firmware modifications unless you have restricted firmware. In that case you must first unrestrict your television's firmware before running a SamyGO app. You gain the functionality you want by running the app. For example if you like big yellow subtitles on your TV you can activate the app then watch your movie with big yellow subtitles.

The second method involves advanced scripting modifications to your television firmware. Ingenious developers have developed some scripts that makes this process fairly simple and easy. Other scripts require careful editing of files inside your computer and should be performed with caution. Bricking your TV is a possibility with the method. It would be wise to have an exlink cable so you can unbrick your television.

So what's the difference between the two methods? You must activate the app each time your turn on your TV if you use a SamyGO app . A firmware modification is permanent and automatic, each time you turn on your TV. It may be harder to do but in the long run it saves you a lot of time.

=Firmware Modifications=
In this section we will discuss modifications that cause permanent changes in your television. You should disable automatic updates on the software upgrade menu of your television in order to avoid accepting an official Samsung update that will disable your SamyGO apps.

==Reverting back to unrestricted firmware==
Loading third party software has been limited with the latest versions of restricted firmware. If you are in the lucky group of television owners with unrestricted firmware then you can skip this section, you are in luck and can stop worrying about firmware restrictions! If your are in the unlucky group of restricted firmware (usually any firmware after dated updated in 2010) then you must revert back to an unrestricted firmware first prior running any SamyGO applications on your TV. Developers at SamyGO have made this a fairly simple process by using a script that automates this process. A list of supported television models and detailed instructions can be [[Forced_revert_back_to_older_firmware| found here]]. Please review all this in detail prior to proceeding with any modifications or running any scripts.

==Patching Firmware with the SamyGO Firmware Patcher==
B-series models (Non CI+) with older firmwares (pre february 2010) have firmware update files which are only trivially encrypted by Samsung and can be modified to allow additional functionality.The [[SamyGO_Firmware_Patcher| SamyGO firmware patch script]] is based on python a computer programming language and changes some of the startup scripts inside of the firmware. This allows additional functionality in the firmware.
Such functionality includes
# Applies the [[Video_AR_Fix|AR v1 Fix]]. This properly resizes the picture proportions n Samsung B series TVs
# Allows you to increase the size of srt subtitles shown in movie playback and
# Subtitle color can change as well. SamyGO favorite is yellow, (ARGB code for yellow is: 0xFFFFFF00, for original color: 0xFFF0F0F0)
# Telnet, can be enabled permanently if you create an advanced startup script.

Once the [[SamyGO_Firmware_Patcher| SamyGO firmware patch script]] completes you will have a new modified firmware with the above modifications enabled. When you flash this modified software to your television, you will enjoy the above enhancements but will also be able to run all the SamyGO apps which will enhance your television's functionality. This modified firmware makes it much easier to gain root access through [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Telnet telnet].

==Flashing your modified firmware==
This is outlined in your service manual.
#Make sure your firmware is copied to the root of your FAT32 formatted USB drive.
#You can reach the software upgrade menu from your remote control: Menu->Help->Software Upgrade->USB
#You get a pause for 30 secs while your TV searches for a valid firmware.
#Install your modified firmware.
#Remember altering your firmware and trying to install it carried risk of permanent damage. Please read the wiki and become acquainted with what you are trying to do.

If you are more adventurous and feel confident enough you can also update the firmware by direct access by using the exlink cable. Read about this: [[Enable_Serial_Console_on_non_CI%2B_Devices]].

=Using a SamyGO app=
'''TODO: Put images, screenshots for dummies'''
If you have flashed the modified firmware or if you have an unrestricted firmware you can start playing and enjoying the [[Content_Library_applications_list|SamyGO applications]].
There is a [[Content_Library_applications_list|wiki page]] where a list of apps can be found. This page typically has a brief description of the app functionality, a link to download the file as well as a link to the forum where the develop seeks, feedback, can help with troubleshooting etc. Newer television models have

To run an app you should extract it directly to the root of your FAT32 formatted flash drive. Common extraction programs are winzip or winrar. Then you plug your flash drive into your TV USB port. If your TV is turned on a popup will appear that will prompt you to select: Media play, content library or software upgrade. Select Content Library.
In the content library menu select USB (left hand side) and move your highlighter to the games and/or children. You should see a list of the apps on your flash drive.

You have two options here. You can run the app from the flash drive or you can copy the app to the television internal memory. To run an app highlight it, hit enter on your remote and then play. If you don't get an error message then your app should be running.
Some apps run into problems if your USB flash drive is not fast enough to convey data. Preferably these are the apps you want to install, i.e. copy on your TV internal memory.

A good app to start with is the SamyGO Extensions pack. Read about it [[SamyGO_Extensions_Pack|here]].

=Using Internet@TV =

Internet@TV is the name Samsung has given to their latest television appliances which converge the internet and televisions in once device. They are a collection of Samsung apps which due to their graphical user interface are called widgets. Samsung, in its short-sightedness decided that some of the newer widgets would not be made available to older television model owners. However these older televisions (B-series) can actually run the new widgets included in the C-series. You can install widgets your own widgets by setting up a webserver on your home computer and directing your television to obtain the updated from your computer.

You may want to try out one of member's website who has pics and links to files to download [http://translate.google.com/translate?hl=us&sl=pl&tl=en&u=http://moras86.ugu.pl/samsung/faq/%23Internet_widgets step by step instructions].

=Using Hotel@USB =
Hotel mode is a mode for locking down menu access and input selection on the display. It is intended for use in hotels, health clubs, and other environments to restrict guests from changing the display's settings. However entering this mode has been used as a way to work around some of the restrictions that newer firmware releases has caused. This true about the C series televisions. You should refer to the compatibility table to determine if this method applies to your television model.

'''TODO'''


=Compatibility table (just for evaluation purposes)=
Below is a first draft of a new version of a comprehensive compatibility table for SamyGO. It is here for evaluation purposes, please feel free to comment on it in the forum. Since this is a still a draft, not all links are there yet, or working. Also probably not all models have been put in yet, and the ones that are there have not yet been completed, I'm still working on it (especially finding the links into the forum pages is a tough job).

The main changes are:

removal of the display type (I think you know what you bought)

Indication of access routes with letters.

combination of a whole bunch of options into a few columns

Oh, and never mind the thin blank lines in the table, they're just empty table entries.

Note: The SamyGO project is compatible with most of the other LN, LA, UN, or UA model TV's. We just haven't tested them yet. No need to get worried about that.

Rhesus98: /* Samsung's DLNA implementation sucks. Is there another way I can watch video files on my TV? */ added question about DTS.

== SamyGO B Series Wiki Page Main ==

On this page, you will find hacks related to B series Televisions. In order to use these hacks you must have firmware that supports them. These are the unrestricted firmwares that can be found on the SamyGO compatibility list or on this page [[Old & Good Firmwares]].

If your television is supported by SamyGO but you do not have the firmware that allows SamyGO apps to run, you will need to update your television to a firmware that is compatible with SamyGO. Once your television has firmware that supports SamyGO then you can run the SamyGO apps.

The instructions you need to follow maybe slightly different depending on whether you have CI and or CI+ firmware on your television. Please make sure that the instructions you are following are the correct ones for your firmware type.

==How can I run a SamyGO app on my B-series TV?==

1.'''Update your television to supported stock or patched firmware.''' If your firmware is already supported you can stop here and proceed to step 2. If not, then the easiest way to do this is by using a script called FFB or [[Forced revert back to older firmware]]. This script will allow you to install an earlier firmware that supports SamyGO. Certain '''key points''' about this process:
**Use the script FFB only if your television is supported. Only certain CI models are supported at this time. If your model is not listed and it's a CI television then consider asking for support in the appropriate section of the SamyGO forum.
**Prior to running the script, you '''MUST''' have your full firmware downloaded and extracted on the root of your USB drive. You can download your firmware from [http://www.samsung.com/us/support/downloads/ Samsung download center]. That link is just an example for US TV models. Similar Samsung websites are available for every market where Samsung products are sold.
**Prior to running this script you must also add some missing files to the firmware directory. These vary by television model but are necessary to restore the u-boot function, the kernel and other files that the restricted firmware has removed to limit access to your television . These files (u-boot.bin, Image and fnw.bin) are '''SPECIFIC''' to your television model. They are typically added in the image subdirectory of your firmware on the USB flash drive. If you can't find the specific files for your television model posted on the forums, then ask in the support forum for help. '''DO NOT attempt''' to run this script without having all the required files.
**You may used either original firmware or patched firmware with the FFB script. If you want to use the patched firmware.
**Remember, the SamyGO community is not liable for any damages that are caused to you or your property in the event of a catastrophic event (brick your TV) related to things you do to your television. The community does this for recreational purposes and has had great success. In the event that your television is damaged we can not be held liable but we will do our best to help you recover your bricked TV.

2. '''Run the Samy Go app you like.'''
You can find a list of apps for B series televisions on the [[Content_Library_applications_list|Content Library applications list]]. This page typically has a brief description of the app functionality, a link to download the file as well as a link to the forum where the develop seeks, feedback, can help with troubleshooting etc.
After you download the app, you should extract it directly to the root of a FAT32 formatted flash drive. You plug your Flash drive in a TV USB port.
If your TV is turned on a popup will appear that will prompt you to select:
Media play, content libary or software upgrade. Select Content Library.
In the content library menu select USB (left hand side) and move your highlighter to the games and/or children. You should see a list of the apps on your flash drive.

You have two options here. You can run the app from the flash drive or you can copy the app to the television internal memory.
To run an app highlight it, hit enter on your remote and then play.
If you don't get an error message then your app should be running.

==I like the SamyGO apps. Can I make them run automatically each time I turn on my TV?==

This can be achieved by installing patched firmware. Patched firmware will give you root access and the modifications will be written into your television's memory making them a permanent process of your television's functionality.

Steps required are:
#Download your television's firmware. You can download from [[Old & Good Firmwares]] page.
#Download the SamyGO Firmware Patcher. Detailed instructions on how to use this patch and where to download it can be found in the [[SamyGO_Firmware_Patcher|SamyGO Firmware Patcher]] page. Use '''"Advanced Mode"''' while patching.
#Install the patched firmware by USB method according to your television manual. This is a simple process by accessing the help menu on your television.
#Disable automatic updates if your television model supports these to avoid overwriting your patched firmware with other firmware versions.

==How can I telnet to my television?==
You must first enable telnet. You can do this by patching your firmware with an advanced startup script or manually enable telnet each time you need telnet. Detailed instruction can be found on the [[How to enable Telnet on samsung TV's|How to enable Telnet on samsung TV's]]page. If you need to create an advanced startup script you can read about that on the [[How to enable Advanced mode startup script|How to enable Advanced mode startup script]]page.

==Samsung's DLNA implementation sucks. Is there another way I can watch video files on my TV?==
You bet. You probably want to try out the SamyGO extensions pack first. You can find that in the [[Content Library applications list|Content Library applications list]]. You can also read more about mounting [[Mounting an NFS share on a USB device to bypass DLNA| NFS shares (Linux/OSX/NAS shares)]]and [[Mounting an CIFS/SAMBA share on a USB device to bypass DLNA|CIFS/SAMBA (windows) shares]] on their respective pages.

==How can I view DTS encoded media files?==

You need to download the extension [[Content_Library_applications_list#DCA_module| DCA module]]. Once you download the application, extract the files to the root of your FAT32 formatted USB drive. Under content management USB, go to Children and select DCA module. You need to copy this to your television internal memory. Leave the USB and go into the loaded content (left panel of your television screen). Under Children you will find two entries, SamyGO DCA and SamyGO DCA for CIP. If you have a CI television firmware, select DCA and run that app (select, enter, play). If you have a CI+ firmware television you need to select DCA for CIP module. Your screen will blink for a few secs. That's it, your television should be able to playback DTS media files.

==I'm ready for more advanced stuff. What can I do?==
These pages will help you go deeper in your television firmware:
*[[Dumping and Flashing images by hand]]
*[[Playing with Firmware Images]]
*[[Getting access to uBoot / bootloader]]
*[[Boot from USB using u-boot]]

==My television doesn't have an ethernet port or a wireless network connection. What can I do about that?==

These pages will be most informative:
*[[Using NoN-Samsung USB WiFi dongles with TV]]
*[[Enable Network support on B550 and B6000 Series Devices]]

==How can I record a television program with my television?==
You will need the PVR+ extension if your model is supported. You can read about that on this page:[[How to capture channel (PVR functionality)]]

==How can I Flash my CI+ B series TV?==
Relevant pages are here:
*[[Flashing Hacked Firmware to CI+ devices]]
*[[Enable Serial Console on non CI+ Devices]]

==I messed up and bricked my TV. What do I do now?==

Take a deep breath and try to relax. In most cases a full recovery is possible. You just need to have the right tools , an ex-link cable, a computer with a serial port and a terminal program, like Putty.

If you followed our advice your television should already have the debug menu turn on and watchdog turned off.
If you have a CI firmware television these pages are relevant:
[[Recovery of Bricked Device]]
**[[Open backdoor for fixing bootloop situations]]
**[[Repair TV from u-boot]]

If you have a CI+ firmware television these pages are relevant:
*[[Enable Serial Console on non CI+ Devices]]

#Download the SamyGO Firmware Patcher. Detailed instructions on how to use this patch and where to download it can be found in the [[SamyGO_Firmware_Patcher|SamyGO Firmware Patcher]] page.
#Install the patched firmware by USB method according to your television manual. This is a simple process by accessing the help menu on your television.
#Disable automatic updates if your television model supports these to avoid overwriting your patched firmware with other firmware versions.

==How can I telnet to my television?==
You must first enable telnet. You can do this by patching your firmware with an advanced startup script or manually enable telnet each time you need telnet. Detailed instruction can be found on the [[How to enable Telnet on samsung TV's|How to enable Telnet on samsung TV's]]page. If you need to create an advanced startup script you can read about that on the [[How to enable Advanced mode startup script|How to enable Advanced mode startup script]]page.

==Samsung's DLNA implementation sucks. Is there another way I can watch video files on my TV?==
You bet. You probably want to try out the SamyGO extensions pack first. You can find that in the [[Content Library applications list|Content Library applications list]]. You can also read more about mounting [[Mounting an NFS share on a USB device to bypass DLNA| NFS shares (Linux/OSX/NAS shares)]]and [[Mounting an CIFS/SAMBA share on a USB device to bypass DLNA|CIFS/SAMBA (windows) shares]] on their respective pages.

*[[Playing with Firmware Images]]
*[[Getting access to uBoot / bootloader]]
*[[Boot from USB using u-boot]]

==My television doesn't have an ethernet port or a wireless network connection. What can I do about that?==

These pages will be most informative:
*[[Using NoN-Samsung USB WiFi dongles with TV]]
*[[Enable Network support on B550 and B6000 Series Devices]]

==How can I record a television program with my television?==
You will need the PVR+ extension if your model is supported. You can read about that on this page:[[How to capture channel (PVR functionality)]]

==How can I Flash my CI+ B series TV?==
Relevant pages are here:
*[[Flashing Hacked Firmware to CI+ devices]]
*[[Enable Serial Console on non CI+ Devices]]

==I messed up and bricked my TV. What do I do now?==

Take a deep breath and try to relax. In most cases a full recovery is possible. You just need to have the right tools , an ex-link cable, a computer with a serial port and a terminal program, like Putty.

If you followed our advice your television should already have the debug menu turn on and watchdog turned off.

Rhesus98: /* My television doesn't have an ethernet port or I want to connect my television to my wireless network. Can I do that? */

== SamyGO B Series Wiki Page Main ==

On this page, you will find hacks related to B series Televisions. In order to use these hacks you must have firmware that supports them. These are the unrestricted firmwares that can be found on the SamyGO compatibility list or on this page [[Old & Good Firmwares]].

If your television is supported by SamyGO but you do not have the firmware that allows SamyGO apps to run, you will need to update your television to a firmware that is compatible with SamyGO. Once your television has firmware that supports SamyGO then you can run the SamyGO apps.

The instructions you need to follow maybe slightly different depending on whether you have CI and or CI+ firmware on your television. Please make sure that the instructions you are following are the correct ones for your firmware type.

==How can I run a SamyGO app on my B-series TV?==

1.'''Update your television to supported stock or patched firmware.''' If your firmware is already supported you can stop here and proceed to step 2. If not, then the easiest way to do this is by using a script called FFB or [[Forced revert back to older firmware]]. This script will allow you to install an earlier firmware that supports SamyGO. Certain '''key points''' about this process:
**Use the script FFB only if your television is supported. Only certain CI models are supported at this time. If your model is not listed and it's a CI television then consider asking for support in the appropriate section of the SamyGO forum.
**Prior to running the script, you '''MUST''' have your full firmware downloaded and extracted on the root of your USB drive. You can download your firmware from [http://www.samsung.com/us/support/downloads/ Samsung download center]. That link is just an example for US TV models. Similar Samsung websites are available for every market where Samsung products are sold.
**Prior to running this script you must also add some missing files to the firmware directory. These vary by television model but are necessary to restore the u-boot function, the kernel and other files that the restricted firmware has removed to limit access to your television . These files (u-boot.bin, Image and fnw.bin) are '''SPECIFIC''' to your television model. They are typically added in the image subdirectory of your firmware on the USB flash drive. If you can't find the specific files for your television model posted on the forums, then ask in the support forum for help. '''DO NOT attempt''' to run this script without having all the required files.
**You may used either original firmware or patched firmware with the FFB script. If you want to use the patched firmware.
**Remember, the SamyGO community is not liable for any damages that are caused to you or your property in the event of a catastrophic event (brick your TV) related to things you do to your television. The community does this for recreational purposes and has had great success. In the event that your television is damaged we can not be held liable but we will do our best to help you recover your bricked TV.

2. '''Run the Samy Go app you like.'''
You can find a list of apps for B series televisions on the [[Content_Library_applications_list|Content Library applications list]]. This page typically has a brief description of the app functionality, a link to download the file as well as a link to the forum where the develop seeks, feedback, can help with troubleshooting etc.
After you download the app, you should extract it directly to the root of a FAT32 formatted flash drive. You plug your Flash drive in a TV USB port.
If your TV is turned on a popup will appear that will prompt you to select:
Media play, content libary or software upgrade. Select Content Library.
In the content library menu select USB (left hand side) and move your highlighter to the games and/or children. You should see a list of the apps on your flash drive.

You have two options here. You can run the app from the flash drive or you can copy the app to the television internal memory.
To run an app highlight it, hit enter on your remote and then play.
If you don't get an error message then your app should be running.

==I like the SamyGO apps. Can I make them run automatically each time I turn on my TV?==

This can be achieved by installing patched firmware. Patched firmware will give you root access and the modifications will be written into your television's memory making them a permanent process of your television's functionality.

Steps required are:
#Download your television's firmware from Samsung. You can not download Samsung firmware from our site.
#Download the SamyGO Firmware Patcher. Detailed instructions on how to use this patch and where to download it can be found in the [[SamyGO_Firmware_Patcher|SamyGO Firmware Patcher]] page.
#Install the patched firmware by USB method according to your television manual. This is a simple process by accessing the help menu on your television.
#Disable automatic updates if your television model supports these to avoid overwriting your patched firmware with other firmware versions.

SamyGO for DUMMIES

2011-01-28T23:30:05Z

Rhesus98: /* Using Hotel@USB */ started Hotel@USB section of Wiki

I think we have a problem here in SamyGO. Older members tend to know a lot about embedded systems and their operating systems, but some newbies don't seem to know how to execute basic programs...
We thought that every one would know that, because of its relative simplicity. But we are wrong there. Also the Wiki pages are too overwhelming for some newbies.

I think we needed to create a wiki page `SamyGO for DUMMIES" and divert all newbies to that article before starting.
The article might mention about how you could execute programs on a TV or copy them to internal TV memory etc. Easy things, which we don't feel the need to talk a lot about.

So I created this page. Me and others will fill this area later on to show simple processes. Also put pictures about running steps of external applications from TV etc...

=Admin's Message for members to edit this page=
This is page for "dummies".

Please keep this page '''"simple as possible" and "modularized"''', means, do not put information if it's not really required and do not try to explain other article pages, just give a link to that article ( like Samba Mounting, firmware patcher etc...) Here needed to be just elementary information.

Thanks

=What is SamyGO?=
SamyGO started in the summer of 2009 as a thread at avsforum, under the title "Samsung LNXXA650 InfoLink hacking". This thread drew a lot of attention and slowly strayed away from its original topic towards rooting TV's and firmware hacking. It also got quite long, so Erdem U. Altinyurt and a few others decided to start a sourceforge project, specific for enhancement of the firmware of Samsung TV-sets, specifically aimed at models issued from 2008 onwards. Many people stayed on and came along from avsforum to sourceforge.

So that is what SamyGO is: A sourceforge project, aimed at enhancing firmware and functionality, specifically for Samsung TV models from 2008 onwards.

The activities of the SamyGO project comprise, but are not limited to:

#Gaining access to all available Samsung TV models from 2008 onwards (rooting).
#Active development of software extensions to enhance Samsung TV accessibility.
#Active development of applications to run on Samsung TV hardware.
#Giving support to project members who want to enhance their TV's functionality.

SamyGO is not a program that you can "just run" on your TV. Enhancing your hardware is not THAT simple. It requires some beginner and intermediate computer skills. The community will support you and is committed to helping you make this work for you. Remember however, that you need to do your part too. Read and try to understand. If you don't understand, ask in the appropriate forum. Proceed only once you understand what it is you are trying to achieve.

=I want more functionality from my TV. What do I need to do?=

In order to run SamyGO applications you need the following:

#A television that is supported by SamyGo Software. See the [[Compatibility| compatibility list]]. If you cannot find your model listed it '''does not necessarily mean''' that your model is not supported. Ask in the appropriate support forum. Developers are from different countries around the world. They don't have access to every television model on the market to personally test their apps. However all these televisions run on linux which makes this project possible.
# Find out which firmware version your TV is equipped with. Newer firmwares are not (yet) supported by SamyGO.
# Checkout the access route for your TV. This is in the supported models list. This is the way you access your television to run samyGO apps. If you're smart you'll also get an ex-link cable and take the necessary precautions (active debug and turn off watchdog in the service menu) to be ready in case of a serious user mistake.
#A USB drive formatted with FAT or FAT32. A rule of thumb is ALWAYS extract the files you are going to use directly to the USB drive. Linux executable have some file attributes that are not preserved if you copy them on NTFS( a windows only) file system.
# Get access! Follow the tutorials in the Wiki pages for that.
# Install the software you like/need.
# Enjoy your improved equipment!!

Each of these steps will be explained in the wiki.

=What is my TV model code and number ?=
[[File:Ue40b7020_model.png|right]]Model code and number are almost the same thing. The model number is a short form of the model code. This is a sample model code with the model number written bold.
'''UE40B7020'''WWXXC
You can read your model code from the sticker at the side or rear of your TV. Once you found the model, you can check whether it is supported by SamyGO [[Compatibility|here for A- and B-series]] and [[Compatibility_Table_for_C_series_TVs| here for C-series models.]]

=What is my firmware model and version ?=
You can learn your firmware number by entering the [[Service Menu]]. Read the detailed wiki page before proceeding with '''GREAT''' caution.

Do not change anything in the service menu until you understand what each setting does. The service menu is like entering the BIOS in a computer. It's where changes can be made to the "brain" that controls television functions. Making the wrong choice in a setting can result in a completely unexpected result and brick your television. To navigate the Service menu ''ONLY'' use the up and down button. Use enter to select and the previous button to return to the previous screen. '''DO NOT USE the RIGHT and LEFT''' buttons of your remote while navigating the service menu unless you know what you are trying to do. Using the left and right navigation butttons may change some variables that may easily brick your TV. If you do make a change to a menu, do not panic. Simply navigate in the opposite direction until the original variable is visible. The option that is visible is the selected option.

To identify your firmware version you only need to enter the main screen of the service menu. You do not need to navigate to other Service menu pages. Identification of your firmware version is important to determine whether your television firmware is supported by SamyGO [[Compatibility|here for A- and B-series]] and here for[[Compatibility_Table_for_C_series_TVs| C-series models.]] You exit the Service menu by turning off the television.

=Is my TV a CI or a CI+ device?=
Samsung has implemented increasing encryption with each series of televsions it releases. Earlier models had no firmware encryption, subsequent firmware releases have [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/XOR_cipher XOR]cipher encryption and the latest firmware releases utilize both AES and XOR encryption. This encryption limits how much editing of a firmware can be done despite the fact that the software Samsung uses is opensource and [http://opensource.samsung.com/ publicly available] per GNU and GPL licensing terms. Knowing the type of firmware utilized is important because it determines what kind of access you can obtain in your television's operating system. There are two types of firmwares based on access, CI and CI+ devices.

A television from the C series is always a CI+ device. B series models have two possibilities: If there is a P in the last part of the model code, it is most likely a CI+ device. The firmware version installed on these TV's has the letters CIP in the firmware version code. Otherwise it is probably a CI device. A series devices do not have encryption.

Some examples:
LE40B652T4'''W'''XXU device uses T-CHL7DEUC firmware, which indicates it is a CI device.
LE40B652T2'''P'''XXU device uses T-CHLCIPDEUC firmware, which indicates it is a CI+ device.
UE40B7020W'''W'''XXC device uses T-CHU7DEUC firmware, which indicates it is a CI device.
'''TODO: Add some UN,UE and PS model "codes" here.'''

You can also find your firmware name and version number in the [[Service Menu]].
This is important to know because there are different software solutions depending on whether your TV is a CI or a CI+ device. Software developers frequently develop two versions of software to support these two types of firmwares. Knowing what kind of TV you have will allow you to select the appropriate SamyGO app.

=What are Restricted Firmwares?=
Restricted Firmwares are original Samsung firmwares which have been released after 01 February 2010. These firmwares have been restricted in many ways by Samsung and have limited how much access one can gain inside their television's operating system. Here in the SamyGO community, we believe this is a deliberate effort to hinder and disable our software development efforts. It is probably also required by the copyright holders of certain parts of the encryption/decryption software for CI+.

Functions that have been removed by the release of these Restricted Firmwares are:
*ExLink Access , that allows us Serial connection to TV's bash line.
*Removal of Top Debug Menu that let us allow to configure every property of TV.
*Removal of u-boot code for that we use to run External firmwares and un-bricking TV.
*Removal of program copy and execution ability from USB disks.
*Removal of Alternative firmware firmware section to avoid reverting older firmwares.
*Additional security enhancements to avoid to flash hacked firmwares.

(*'''TODO: Anything that I forgot?")

If you are interested in applying any of the SamyGO software enhancements to your television's firmware, it's better not to have received any of these firmwares. However, do not despair if you have had your television crippled by these "updates". The ingenuity and hard work of the developers of the SamyGO community have found several work-arounds that will allow you to restore your television to an older firmware that allows SamyGO applications to run. They have also simplified and automated part of this process as much as it is legally possible.

Unfortunately, if you have a restricted firmware, you can't just plug and play. There are several steps that you need to take to gain back "ownership" of your television. Several steps are involved including, copying programs to your TV memory by using an open vulnerabilities such as the "Children Menu" hack or the Nurisam Trojan. This will allow you to move applications to TV and enjoy additional features currently no possible...

=How can I get access to my TV?=
Samsung televisions have an embedded operating system based on linux. When you turn your television on you are essentially operating a computer as a user. You are given limited access to core parts of the operating system by design. If you want more control of what your television you must give it commands to run additional pieces of software with the functionality you desire. To do this you need to obtain access to the television's operating system as a [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Superuser superuser or with root access].
To control any Linux-based system, you need root access to it (Administrator privileges in Windows). Depending on the type of TV and version of the firmware, this can be achieved in a number of ways. In the compatibility tables you can find the methods that have been used successfully for each type (The list is not complete yet, work in progress).
Depending on the firmware and television model you may be able to do this with a simple software installation from a USB drive or you may need to install modified firmware or may need to revert to an older version of firmware that has not been restricted by Samsung.
You can gain access to your televisions operating in several ways.Consult the compatibility table at the bottom of this page to determine which method you can use:

#'''USB''': Loading software from the USB port by flash drive. Restricted firmware has disallowed access to the built in functionality. This is also how patched firmware is flashed. This is also how content library SamyGO apps can be executed. A variation of this method ia hotel@USB which is required for newer television models like the C series. Other
#'''Telnet''': Once you have enabled telnet either by patching the firmware or running the telnet enabler app, televisions with ethernet connectivity can be controlled by telnet (or SSH) access via your computer network. Non ethernet models may also become network accessible by using a usb wi-fi dongle, another SamyGO application. These are advanced functions and should be executed once you understand these functions better.
#'''Ex-link Port''' An Ex-link port or service port which allows direct connection from your computer to the television. Many TV models (A and B series) are accessible through a serial port, called Ex-link. This is a serial port, with a 3.5mm stereo jack as a connector port that is called "connector for service only" in your television manual. To use this port, you will need a serial cable with the right layout, which is given [[Enable_Serial_Console_on_non_CI%2B_Devices|'''here'''.]] On the same page you will find how to enter the service menu of your TV, at least for a number of older types of televisions. Newer models (like C series televisions) do not have this access mode. It would be wise to make or buy such a cable prior to changing your firmware in the event of a catastrophic event that requires this connection to recover your television functionality(unbrick your TV).

=Understanding SamyGO app vs. SamyGO firmware modification=

Many developers contribute to the SamyGO community and the goal of each application they develop is to enhance the functionality of your television. Applications can be typically be used in two ways:

# Standalone app aka as a SamyGO app or extension
# Incorporation of the application function into the TV firmware

The first method does not require any firmware modifications unless you have restricted firmware. In that case you must first unrestrict your television's firmware before running a SamyGO app. You gain the functionality you want by running the app. For example if you like big yellow subtitles on your TV you can activate the app then watch your movie with big yellow subtitles.

The second method involves advanced scripting modifications to your television firmware. Ingenious developers have developed some scripts that makes this process fairly simple and easy. Other scripts require careful editing of files inside your computer and should be performed with caution. Bricking your TV is a possibility with the method. It would be wise to have an exlink cable so you can unbrick your television.

So what's the difference between the two methods? You must activate the app each time your turn on your TV if you use a SamyGO app . A firmware modification is permanent and automatic, each time you turn on your TV. It may be harder to do but in the long run it saves you a lot of time.

=Firmware Modifications=
In this section we will discuss modifications that cause permanent changes in your television. You should disable automatic updates on the software upgrade menu of your television in order to avoid accepting an official Samsung update that will disable your SamyGO apps.

==Reverting back to unrestricted firmware==
Loading third party software has been limited with the latest versions of restricted firmware. If you are in the lucky group of television owners with unrestricted firmware then you can skip this section, you are in luck and can stop worrying about firmware restrictions! If your are in the unlucky group of restricted firmware (usually any firmware after dated updated in 2010) then you must revert back to an unrestricted firmware first prior running any SamyGO applications on your TV. Developers at SamyGO have made this a fairly simple process by using a script that automates this process. A list of supported television models and detailed instructions can be [[Forced_revert_back_to_older_firmware| found here]]. Please review all this in detail prior to proceeding with any modifications or running any scripts.

==Patching Firmware with the SamyGO Firmware Patcher==
B-series models (Non CI+) with older firmwares (pre february 2010) have firmware update files which are only trivially encrypted by Samsung and can be modified to allow additional functionality.The [[SamyGO_Firmware_Patcher| SamyGO firmware patch script]] is based on python a computer programming language and changes some of the startup scripts inside of the firmware. This allows additional functionality in the firmware.
Such functionality includes
# Applies the [[Video_AR_Fix|AR v1 Fix]]. This properly resizes the picture proportions n Samsung B series TVs
# Allows you to increase the size of srt subtitles shown in movie playback and
# Subtitle color can change as well. SamyGO favorite is yellow, (ARGB code for yellow is: 0xFFFFFF00, for original color: 0xFFF0F0F0)
# Telnet, can be enabled permanently if you create an advanced startup script.

Once the [[SamyGO_Firmware_Patcher| SamyGO firmware patch script]] completes you will have a new modified firmware with the above modifications enabled. When you flash this modified software to your television, you will enjoy the above enhancements but will also be able to run all the SamyGO apps which will enhance your television's functionality. This modified firmware makes it much easier to gain root access through [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Telnet telnet].

==Flashing your modified firmware==
This is outlined in your service manual.
#Make sure your firmware is copied to the root of your FAT32 formatted USB drive.
#You can reach the software upgrade menu from your remote control: Menu->Help->Software Upgrade->USB
#You get a pause for 30 secs while your TV searches for a valid firmware.
#Install your modified firmware.
#Remember altering your firmware and trying to install it carried risk of permanent damage. Please read the wiki and become acquainted with what you are trying to do.

If you are more adventurous and feel confident enough you can also update the firmware by direct access by using the exlink cable. Read about this: [[Enable_Serial_Console_on_non_CI%2B_Devices]].

=Using a SamyGO app=

If you have flashed the modified firmware or if you have an unrestricted firmware you can start playing and enjoying the [[Content_Library_applications_list|SamyGO applications]].
There is a [[Content_Library_applications_list|wiki page]] where a list of apps can be found. This page typically has a brief description of the app functionality, a link to download the file as well as a link to the forum where the develop seeks, feedback, can help with troubleshooting etc. Newer television models have

To run an app you should extract it directly to the root of your FAT32 formatted flash drive. Common extraction programs are winzip or winrar. Then you plug your flash drive into your TV USB port. If your TV is turned on a popup will appear that will prompt you to select: Media play, content library or software upgrade. Select Content Library.
In the content library menu select USB (left hand side) and move your highlighter to the games and/or children. You should see a list of the apps on your flash drive.

You have two options here. You can run the app from the flash drive or you can copy the app to the television internal memory. To run an app highlight it, hit enter on your remote and then play. If you don't get an error message then your app should be running.
Some apps run into problems if your USB flash drive is not fast enough to convey data. Preferably these are the apps you want to install, i.e. copy on your TV internal memory.

A good app to start with is the SamyGO Extensions pack. Read about it [[SamyGO_Extensions_Pack|here]].

=Using Internet@TV =

Internet@TV is the name Samsung has given to their latest television appliances which converge the internet and televisions in once device. They are a collection of Samsung apps which due to their graphical user interface are called widgets. Samsung, in its short-sightedness decided that some of the newer widgets would not be made available to older television model owners. However these older televisions (B-series) can actually run the new widgets included in the C-series. You can install widgets your own widgets by setting up a webserver on your home computer and directing your television to obtain the updated from your computer.

You may want to try out one of member's website who has pics and links to files to download [http://translate.google.com/translate?hl=us&sl=pl&tl=en&u=http://moras86.ugu.pl/samsung/faq/%23Internet_widgets step by step instructions].

=Using Hotel@USB =
Hotel mode is a mode for locking down menu access and input selection on the display. It is intended for use in hotels, health clubs, and other environments to restrict guests from changing the display's settings. However entering this mode has been used as a way to work around some of the restrictions that newer firmware releases has caused. This true about the C series televisions. You should refer to the compatibility table to determine if this method applies to your television model.

'''TODO'''


=Compatibility table (just for evaluation purposes)=
Below is a first draft of a new version of a comprehensive compatibility table for SamyGO. It is here for evaluation purposes, please feel free to comment on it in the forum. Since this is a still a draft, not all links are there yet, or working. Also probably not all models have been put in yet, and the ones that are there have not yet been completed, I'm still working on it (especially finding the links into the forum pages is a tough job).

The main changes are:

removal of the display type (I think you know what you bought)

Indication of access routes with letters.

combination of a whole bunch of options into a few columns

Oh, and never mind the thin blank lines in the table, they're just empty table entries.

Note: The SamyGO project is compatible with most of the other LN, LA, UN, or UA model TV's. We just haven't tested them yet. No need to get worried about that.

SamyGO for DUMMIES

2011-01-28T23:16:40Z

Rhesus98: /* Firmware Modifications */ added intro to firmware modifications

I think we have a problem here in SamyGO. Older members tend to know a lot about embedded systems and their operating systems, but some newbies don't seem to know how to execute basic programs...
We thought that every one would know that, because of its relative simplicity. But we are wrong there. Also the Wiki pages are too overwhelming for some newbies.

I think we needed to create a wiki page `SamyGO for DUMMIES" and divert all newbies to that article before starting.
The article might mention about how you could execute programs on a TV or copy them to internal TV memory etc. Easy things, which we don't feel the need to talk a lot about.

So I created this page. Me and others will fill this area later on to show simple processes. Also put pictures about running steps of external applications from TV etc...

=Admin's Message for members to edit this page=
This is page for "dummies".

Please keep this page '''"simple as possible" and "modularized"''', means, do not put information if it's not really required and do not try to explain other article pages, just give a link to that article ( like Samba Mounting, firmware patcher etc...) Here needed to be just elementary information.

Thanks

=What is SamyGO?=
SamyGO started in the summer of 2009 as a thread at avsforum, under the title "Samsung LNXXA650 InfoLink hacking". This thread drew a lot of attention and slowly strayed away from its original topic towards rooting TV's and firmware hacking. It also got quite long, so Erdem U. Altinyurt and a few others decided to start a sourceforge project, specific for enhancement of the firmware of Samsung TV-sets, specifically aimed at models issued from 2008 onwards. Many people stayed on and came along from avsforum to sourceforge.

So that is what SamyGO is: A sourceforge project, aimed at enhancing firmware and functionality, specifically for Samsung TV models from 2008 onwards.

The activities of the SamyGO project comprise, but are not limited to:

#Gaining access to all available Samsung TV models from 2008 onwards (rooting).
#Active development of software extensions to enhance Samsung TV accessibility.
#Active development of applications to run on Samsung TV hardware.
#Giving support to project members who want to enhance their TV's functionality.

SamyGO is not a program that you can "just run" on your TV. Enhancing your hardware is not THAT simple. It requires some beginner and intermediate computer skills. The community will support you and is committed to helping you make this work for you. Remember however, that you need to do your part too. Read and try to understand. If you don't understand, ask in the appropriate forum. Proceed only once you understand what it is you are trying to achieve.

=I want more functionality from my TV. What do I need to do?=

In order to run SamyGO applications you need the following:

#A television that is supported by SamyGo Software. See the [[Compatibility| compatibility list]]. If you cannot find your model listed it '''does not necessarily mean''' that your model is not supported. Ask in the appropriate support forum. Developers are from different countries around the world. They don't have access to every television model on the market to personally test their apps. However all these televisions run on linux which makes this project possible.
# Find out which firmware version your TV is equipped with. Newer firmwares are not (yet) supported by SamyGO.
# Checkout the access route for your TV. This is in the supported models list. This is the way you access your television to run samyGO apps. If you're smart you'll also get an ex-link cable and take the necessary precautions (active debug and turn off watchdog in the service menu) to be ready in case of a serious user mistake.
#A USB drive formatted with FAT or FAT32. A rule of thumb is ALWAYS extract the files you are going to use directly to the USB drive. Linux executable have some file attributes that are not preserved if you copy them on NTFS( a windows only) file system.
# Get access! Follow the tutorials in the Wiki pages for that.
# Install the software you like/need.
# Enjoy your improved equipment!!

Each of these steps will be explained in the wiki.

=What is my TV model code and number ?=
[[File:Ue40b7020_model.png|right]]Model code and number are almost the same thing. The model number is a short form of the model code. This is a sample model code with the model number written bold.
'''UE40B7020'''WWXXC
You can read your model code from the sticker at the side or rear of your TV. Once you found the model, you can check whether it is supported by SamyGO [[Compatibility|here for A- and B-series]] and [[Compatibility_Table_for_C_series_TVs| here for C-series models.]]

=What is my firmware model and version ?=
You can learn your firmware number by entering the [[Service Menu]]. Read the detailed wiki page before proceeding with '''GREAT''' caution.

Do not change anything in the service menu until you understand what each setting does. The service menu is like entering the BIOS in a computer. It's where changes can be made to the "brain" that controls television functions. Making the wrong choice in a setting can result in a completely unexpected result and brick your television. To navigate the Service menu ''ONLY'' use the up and down button. Use enter to select and the previous button to return to the previous screen. '''DO NOT USE the RIGHT and LEFT''' buttons of your remote while navigating the service menu unless you know what you are trying to do. Using the left and right navigation butttons may change some variables that may easily brick your TV. If you do make a change to a menu, do not panic. Simply navigate in the opposite direction until the original variable is visible. The option that is visible is the selected option.

To identify your firmware version you only need to enter the main screen of the service menu. You do not need to navigate to other Service menu pages. Identification of your firmware version is important to determine whether your television firmware is supported by SamyGO [[Compatibility|here for A- and B-series]] and here for[[Compatibility_Table_for_C_series_TVs| C-series models.]] You exit the Service menu by turning off the television.

=Is my TV a CI or a CI+ device?=
Samsung has implemented increasing encryption with each series of televsions it releases. Earlier models had no firmware encryption, subsequent firmware releases have [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/XOR_cipher XOR]cipher encryption and the latest firmware releases utilize both AES and XOR encryption. This encryption limits how much editing of a firmware can be done despite the fact that the software Samsung uses is opensource and [http://opensource.samsung.com/ publicly available] per GNU and GPL licensing terms. Knowing the type of firmware utilized is important because it determines what kind of access you can obtain in your television's operating system. There are two types of firmwares based on access, CI and CI+ devices.

A television from the C series is always a CI+ device. B series models have two possibilities: If there is a P in the last part of the model code, it is most likely a CI+ device. The firmware version installed on these TV's has the letters CIP in the firmware version code. Otherwise it is probably a CI device. A series devices do not have encryption.

Some examples:
LE40B652T4'''W'''XXU device uses T-CHL7DEUC firmware, which indicates it is a CI device.
LE40B652T2'''P'''XXU device uses T-CHLCIPDEUC firmware, which indicates it is a CI+ device.
UE40B7020W'''W'''XXC device uses T-CHU7DEUC firmware, which indicates it is a CI device.
'''TODO: Add some UN,UE and PS model "codes" here.'''

You can also find your firmware name and version number in the [[Service Menu]].
This is important to know because there are different software solutions depending on whether your TV is a CI or a CI+ device. Software developers frequently develop two versions of software to support these two types of firmwares. Knowing what kind of TV you have will allow you to select the appropriate SamyGO app.

=What are Restricted Firmwares?=
Restricted Firmwares are original Samsung firmwares which have been released after 01 February 2010. These firmwares have been restricted in many ways by Samsung and have limited how much access one can gain inside their television's operating system. Here in the SamyGO community, we believe this is a deliberate effort to hinder and disable our software development efforts. It is probably also required by the copyright holders of certain parts of the encryption/decryption software for CI+.

Functions that have been removed by the release of these Restricted Firmwares are:
*ExLink Access , that allows us Serial connection to TV's bash line.
*Removal of Top Debug Menu that let us allow to configure every property of TV.
*Removal of u-boot code for that we use to run External firmwares and un-bricking TV.
*Removal of program copy and execution ability from USB disks.
*Removal of Alternative firmware firmware section to avoid reverting older firmwares.
*Additional security enhancements to avoid to flash hacked firmwares.

(*'''TODO: Anything that I forgot?")

If you are interested in applying any of the SamyGO software enhancements to your television's firmware, it's better not to have received any of these firmwares. However, do not despair if you have had your television crippled by these "updates". The ingenuity and hard work of the developers of the SamyGO community have found several work-arounds that will allow you to restore your television to an older firmware that allows SamyGO applications to run. They have also simplified and automated part of this process as much as it is legally possible.

Unfortunately, if you have a restricted firmware, you can't just plug and play. There are several steps that you need to take to gain back "ownership" of your television. Several steps are involved including, copying programs to your TV memory by using an open vulnerabilities such as the "Children Menu" hack or the Nurisam Trojan. This will allow you to move applications to TV and enjoy additional features currently no possible...

=How can I get access to my TV?=
Samsung televisions have an embedded operating system based on linux. When you turn your television on you are essentially operating a computer as a user. You are given limited access to core parts of the operating system by design. If you want more control of what your television you must give it commands to run additional pieces of software with the functionality you desire. To do this you need to obtain access to the television's operating system as a [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Superuser superuser or with root access].
To control any Linux-based system, you need root access to it (Administrator privileges in Windows). Depending on the type of TV and version of the firmware, this can be achieved in a number of ways. In the compatibility tables you can find the methods that have been used successfully for each type (The list is not complete yet, work in progress).
Depending on the firmware and television model you may be able to do this with a simple software installation from a USB drive or you may need to install modified firmware or may need to revert to an older version of firmware that has not been restricted by Samsung.
You can gain access to your televisions operating in several ways.Consult the compatibility table at the bottom of this page to determine which method you can use:

#'''USB''': Loading software from the USB port by flash drive. Restricted firmware has disallowed access to the built in functionality. This is also how patched firmware is flashed. This is also how content library SamyGO apps can be executed. A variation of this method ia hotel@USB which is required for newer television models like the C series. Other
#'''Telnet''': Once you have enabled telnet either by patching the firmware or running the telnet enabler app, televisions with ethernet connectivity can be controlled by telnet (or SSH) access via your computer network. Non ethernet models may also become network accessible by using a usb wi-fi dongle, another SamyGO application. These are advanced functions and should be executed once you understand these functions better.
#'''Ex-link Port''' An Ex-link port or service port which allows direct connection from your computer to the television. Many TV models (A and B series) are accessible through a serial port, called Ex-link. This is a serial port, with a 3.5mm stereo jack as a connector port that is called "connector for service only" in your television manual. To use this port, you will need a serial cable with the right layout, which is given [[Enable_Serial_Console_on_non_CI%2B_Devices|'''here'''.]] On the same page you will find how to enter the service menu of your TV, at least for a number of older types of televisions. Newer models (like C series televisions) do not have this access mode. It would be wise to make or buy such a cable prior to changing your firmware in the event of a catastrophic event that requires this connection to recover your television functionality(unbrick your TV).

=Understanding SamyGO app vs. SamyGO firmware modification=

Many developers contribute to the SamyGO community and the goal of each application they develop is to enhance the functionality of your television. Applications can be typically be used in two ways:

# Standalone app aka as a SamyGO app or extension
# Incorporation of the application function into the TV firmware

The first method does not require any firmware modifications unless you have restricted firmware. In that case you must first unrestrict your television's firmware before running a SamyGO app. You gain the functionality you want by running the app. For example if you like big yellow subtitles on your TV you can activate the app then watch your movie with big yellow subtitles.

The second method involves advanced scripting modifications to your television firmware. Ingenious developers have developed some scripts that makes this process fairly simple and easy. Other scripts require careful editing of files inside your computer and should be performed with caution. Bricking your TV is a possibility with the method. It would be wise to have an exlink cable so you can unbrick your television.

So what's the difference between the two methods? You must activate the app each time your turn on your TV if you use a SamyGO app . A firmware modification is permanent and automatic, each time you turn on your TV. It may be harder to do but in the long run it saves you a lot of time.

=Firmware Modifications=
In this section we will discuss modifications that cause permanent changes in your television. You should disable automatic updates on the software upgrade menu of your television in order to avoid accepting an official Samsung update that will disable your SamyGO apps.

==Reverting back to unrestricted firmware==
Loading third party software has been limited with the latest versions of restricted firmware. If you are in the lucky group of television owners with unrestricted firmware then you can skip this section, you are in luck and can stop worrying about firmware restrictions! If your are in the unlucky group of restricted firmware (usually any firmware after dated updated in 2010) then you must revert back to an unrestricted firmware first prior running any SamyGO applications on your TV. Developers at SamyGO have made this a fairly simple process by using a script that automates this process. A list of supported television models and detailed instructions can be [[Forced_revert_back_to_older_firmware| found here]]. Please review all this in detail prior to proceeding with any modifications or running any scripts.

==Patching Firmware with the SamyGO Firmware Patcher==
B-series models (Non CI+) with older firmwares (pre february 2010) have firmware update files which are only trivially encrypted by Samsung and can be modified to allow additional functionality.The [[SamyGO_Firmware_Patcher| SamyGO firmware patch script]] is based on python a computer programming language and changes some of the startup scripts inside of the firmware. This allows additional functionality in the firmware.
Such functionality includes
# Applies the [[Video_AR_Fix|AR v1 Fix]]. This properly resizes the picture proportions n Samsung B series TVs
# Allows you to increase the size of srt subtitles shown in movie playback and
# Subtitle color can change as well. SamyGO favorite is yellow, (ARGB code for yellow is: 0xFFFFFF00, for original color: 0xFFF0F0F0)
# Telnet, can be enabled permanently if you create an advanced startup script.

Once the [[SamyGO_Firmware_Patcher| SamyGO firmware patch script]] completes you will have a new modified firmware with the above modifications enabled. When you flash this modified software to your television, you will enjoy the above enhancements but will also be able to run all the SamyGO apps which will enhance your television's functionality. This modified firmware makes it much easier to gain root access through [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Telnet telnet].

==Flashing your modified firmware==
This is outlined in your service manual.
#Make sure your firmware is copied to the root of your FAT32 formatted USB drive.
#You can reach the software upgrade menu from your remote control: Menu->Help->Software Upgrade->USB
#You get a pause for 30 secs while your TV searches for a valid firmware.
#Install your modified firmware.
#Remember altering your firmware and trying to install it carried risk of permanent damage. Please read the wiki and become acquainted with what you are trying to do.

If you are more adventurous and feel confident enough you can also update the firmware by direct access by using the exlink cable. Read about this: [[Enable_Serial_Console_on_non_CI%2B_Devices]].

=Using a SamyGO app=

If you have flashed the modified firmware or if you have an unrestricted firmware you can start playing and enjoying the [[Content_Library_applications_list|SamyGO applications]].
There is a [[Content_Library_applications_list|wiki page]] where a list of apps can be found. This page typically has a brief description of the app functionality, a link to download the file as well as a link to the forum where the develop seeks, feedback, can help with troubleshooting etc. Newer television models have

To run an app you should extract it directly to the root of your FAT32 formatted flash drive. Common extraction programs are winzip or winrar. Then you plug your flash drive into your TV USB port. If your TV is turned on a popup will appear that will prompt you to select: Media play, content library or software upgrade. Select Content Library.
In the content library menu select USB (left hand side) and move your highlighter to the games and/or children. You should see a list of the apps on your flash drive.

You have two options here. You can run the app from the flash drive or you can copy the app to the television internal memory. To run an app highlight it, hit enter on your remote and then play. If you don't get an error message then your app should be running.
Some apps run into problems if your USB flash drive is not fast enough to convey data. Preferably these are the apps you want to install, i.e. copy on your TV internal memory.

A good app to start with is the SamyGO Extensions pack. Read about it [[SamyGO_Extensions_Pack|here]].

=Using Internet@TV =

Internet@TV is the name Samsung has given to their latest television appliances which converge the internet and televisions in once device. They are a collection of Samsung apps which due to their graphical user interface are called widgets. Samsung, in its short-sightedness decided that some of the newer widgets would not be made available to older television model owners. However these older televisions (B-series) can actually run the new widgets included in the C-series. You can install widgets your own widgets by setting up a webserver on your home computer and directing your television to obtain the updated from your computer.

=Using Hotel@USB =
'''TODO'''


=Compatibility table (just for evaluation purposes)=
Below is a first draft of a new version of a comprehensive compatibility table for SamyGO. It is here for evaluation purposes, please feel free to comment on it in the forum. Since this is a still a draft, not all links are there yet, or working. Also probably not all models have been put in yet, and the ones that are there have not yet been completed, I'm still working on it (especially finding the links into the forum pages is a tough job).

The main changes are:

removal of the display type (I think you know what you bought)

Indication of access routes with letters.

combination of a whole bunch of options into a few columns

Oh, and never mind the thin blank lines in the table, they're just empty table entries.

Note: The SamyGO project is compatible with most of the other LN, LA, UN, or UA model TV's. We just haven't tested them yet. No need to get worried about that.

SamyGO for DUMMIES

2011-01-28T23:09:57Z

Rhesus98: /* How can I get access to my TV? */

I think we have a problem here in SamyGO. Older members tend to know a lot about embedded systems and their operating systems, but some newbies don't seem to know how to execute basic programs...
We thought that every one would know that, because of its relative simplicity. But we are wrong there. Also the Wiki pages are too overwhelming for some newbies.

I think we needed to create a wiki page `SamyGO for DUMMIES" and divert all newbies to that article before starting.
The article might mention about how you could execute programs on a TV or copy them to internal TV memory etc. Easy things, which we don't feel the need to talk a lot about.

So I created this page. Me and others will fill this area later on to show simple processes. Also put pictures about running steps of external applications from TV etc...

=Admin's Message for members to edit this page=
This is page for "dummies".

Please keep this page '''"simple as possible" and "modularized"''', means, do not put information if it's not really required and do not try to explain other article pages, just give a link to that article ( like Samba Mounting, firmware patcher etc...) Here needed to be just elementary information.

Thanks

=What is SamyGO?=
SamyGO started in the summer of 2009 as a thread at avsforum, under the title "Samsung LNXXA650 InfoLink hacking". This thread drew a lot of attention and slowly strayed away from its original topic towards rooting TV's and firmware hacking. It also got quite long, so Erdem U. Altinyurt and a few others decided to start a sourceforge project, specific for enhancement of the firmware of Samsung TV-sets, specifically aimed at models issued from 2008 onwards. Many people stayed on and came along from avsforum to sourceforge.

So that is what SamyGO is: A sourceforge project, aimed at enhancing firmware and functionality, specifically for Samsung TV models from 2008 onwards.

The activities of the SamyGO project comprise, but are not limited to:

#Gaining access to all available Samsung TV models from 2008 onwards (rooting).
#Active development of software extensions to enhance Samsung TV accessibility.
#Active development of applications to run on Samsung TV hardware.
#Giving support to project members who want to enhance their TV's functionality.

SamyGO is not a program that you can "just run" on your TV. Enhancing your hardware is not THAT simple. It requires some beginner and intermediate computer skills. The community will support you and is committed to helping you make this work for you. Remember however, that you need to do your part too. Read and try to understand. If you don't understand, ask in the appropriate forum. Proceed only once you understand what it is you are trying to achieve.

=I want more functionality from my TV. What do I need to do?=

In order to run SamyGO applications you need the following:

#A television that is supported by SamyGo Software. See the [[Compatibility| compatibility list]]. If you cannot find your model listed it '''does not necessarily mean''' that your model is not supported. Ask in the appropriate support forum. Developers are from different countries around the world. They don't have access to every television model on the market to personally test their apps. However all these televisions run on linux which makes this project possible.
# Find out which firmware version your TV is equipped with. Newer firmwares are not (yet) supported by SamyGO.
# Checkout the access route for your TV. This is in the supported models list. This is the way you access your television to run samyGO apps. If you're smart you'll also get an ex-link cable and take the necessary precautions (active debug and turn off watchdog in the service menu) to be ready in case of a serious user mistake.
#A USB drive formatted with FAT or FAT32. A rule of thumb is ALWAYS extract the files you are going to use directly to the USB drive. Linux executable have some file attributes that are not preserved if you copy them on NTFS( a windows only) file system.
# Get access! Follow the tutorials in the Wiki pages for that.
# Install the software you like/need.
# Enjoy your improved equipment!!

Each of these steps will be explained in the wiki.

=What is my TV model code and number ?=
[[File:Ue40b7020_model.png|right]]Model code and number are almost the same thing. The model number is a short form of the model code. This is a sample model code with the model number written bold.
'''UE40B7020'''WWXXC
You can read your model code from the sticker at the side or rear of your TV. Once you found the model, you can check whether it is supported by SamyGO [[Compatibility|here for A- and B-series]] and [[Compatibility_Table_for_C_series_TVs| here for C-series models.]]

=What is my firmware model and version ?=
You can learn your firmware number by entering the [[Service Menu]]. Read the detailed wiki page before proceeding with '''GREAT''' caution.

Do not change anything in the service menu until you understand what each setting does. The service menu is like entering the BIOS in a computer. It's where changes can be made to the "brain" that controls television functions. Making the wrong choice in a setting can result in a completely unexpected result and brick your television. To navigate the Service menu ''ONLY'' use the up and down button. Use enter to select and the previous button to return to the previous screen. '''DO NOT USE the RIGHT and LEFT''' buttons of your remote while navigating the service menu unless you know what you are trying to do. Using the left and right navigation butttons may change some variables that may easily brick your TV. If you do make a change to a menu, do not panic. Simply navigate in the opposite direction until the original variable is visible. The option that is visible is the selected option.

To identify your firmware version you only need to enter the main screen of the service menu. You do not need to navigate to other Service menu pages. Identification of your firmware version is important to determine whether your television firmware is supported by SamyGO [[Compatibility|here for A- and B-series]] and here for[[Compatibility_Table_for_C_series_TVs| C-series models.]] You exit the Service menu by turning off the television.

=Is my TV a CI or a CI+ device?=
Samsung has implemented increasing encryption with each series of televsions it releases. Earlier models had no firmware encryption, subsequent firmware releases have [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/XOR_cipher XOR]cipher encryption and the latest firmware releases utilize both AES and XOR encryption. This encryption limits how much editing of a firmware can be done despite the fact that the software Samsung uses is opensource and [http://opensource.samsung.com/ publicly available] per GNU and GPL licensing terms. Knowing the type of firmware utilized is important because it determines what kind of access you can obtain in your television's operating system. There are two types of firmwares based on access, CI and CI+ devices.

A television from the C series is always a CI+ device. B series models have two possibilities: If there is a P in the last part of the model code, it is most likely a CI+ device. The firmware version installed on these TV's has the letters CIP in the firmware version code. Otherwise it is probably a CI device. A series devices do not have encryption.

Some examples:
LE40B652T4'''W'''XXU device uses T-CHL7DEUC firmware, which indicates it is a CI device.
LE40B652T2'''P'''XXU device uses T-CHLCIPDEUC firmware, which indicates it is a CI+ device.
UE40B7020W'''W'''XXC device uses T-CHU7DEUC firmware, which indicates it is a CI device.
'''TODO: Add some UN,UE and PS model "codes" here.'''

You can also find your firmware name and version number in the [[Service Menu]].
This is important to know because there are different software solutions depending on whether your TV is a CI or a CI+ device. Software developers frequently develop two versions of software to support these two types of firmwares. Knowing what kind of TV you have will allow you to select the appropriate SamyGO app.

=What are Restricted Firmwares?=
Restricted Firmwares are original Samsung firmwares which have been released after 01 February 2010. These firmwares have been restricted in many ways by Samsung and have limited how much access one can gain inside their television's operating system. Here in the SamyGO community, we believe this is a deliberate effort to hinder and disable our software development efforts. It is probably also required by the copyright holders of certain parts of the encryption/decryption software for CI+.

Functions that have been removed by the release of these Restricted Firmwares are:
*ExLink Access , that allows us Serial connection to TV's bash line.
*Removal of Top Debug Menu that let us allow to configure every property of TV.
*Removal of u-boot code for that we use to run External firmwares and un-bricking TV.
*Removal of program copy and execution ability from USB disks.
*Removal of Alternative firmware firmware section to avoid reverting older firmwares.
*Additional security enhancements to avoid to flash hacked firmwares.

(*'''TODO: Anything that I forgot?")

If you are interested in applying any of the SamyGO software enhancements to your television's firmware, it's better not to have received any of these firmwares. However, do not despair if you have had your television crippled by these "updates". The ingenuity and hard work of the developers of the SamyGO community have found several work-arounds that will allow you to restore your television to an older firmware that allows SamyGO applications to run. They have also simplified and automated part of this process as much as it is legally possible.

Unfortunately, if you have a restricted firmware, you can't just plug and play. There are several steps that you need to take to gain back "ownership" of your television. Several steps are involved including, copying programs to your TV memory by using an open vulnerabilities such as the "Children Menu" hack or the Nurisam Trojan. This will allow you to move applications to TV and enjoy additional features currently no possible...

=How can I get access to my TV?=
Samsung televisions have an embedded operating system based on linux. When you turn your television on you are essentially operating a computer as a user. You are given limited access to core parts of the operating system by design. If you want more control of what your television you must give it commands to run additional pieces of software with the functionality you desire. To do this you need to obtain access to the television's operating system as a [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Superuser superuser or with root access].
To control any Linux-based system, you need root access to it (Administrator privileges in Windows). Depending on the type of TV and version of the firmware, this can be achieved in a number of ways. In the compatibility tables you can find the methods that have been used successfully for each type (The list is not complete yet, work in progress).
Depending on the firmware and television model you may be able to do this with a simple software installation from a USB drive or you may need to install modified firmware or may need to revert to an older version of firmware that has not been restricted by Samsung.
You can gain access to your televisions operating in several ways.Consult the compatibility table at the bottom of this page to determine which method you can use:

#'''USB''': Loading software from the USB port by flash drive. Restricted firmware has disallowed access to the built in functionality. This is also how patched firmware is flashed. This is also how content library SamyGO apps can be executed. A variation of this method ia hotel@USB which is required for newer television models like the C series. Other
#'''Telnet''': Once you have enabled telnet either by patching the firmware or running the telnet enabler app, televisions with ethernet connectivity can be controlled by telnet (or SSH) access via your computer network. Non ethernet models may also become network accessible by using a usb wi-fi dongle, another SamyGO application. These are advanced functions and should be executed once you understand these functions better.
#'''Ex-link Port''' An Ex-link port or service port which allows direct connection from your computer to the television. Many TV models (A and B series) are accessible through a serial port, called Ex-link. This is a serial port, with a 3.5mm stereo jack as a connector port that is called "connector for service only" in your television manual. To use this port, you will need a serial cable with the right layout, which is given [[Enable_Serial_Console_on_non_CI%2B_Devices|'''here'''.]] On the same page you will find how to enter the service menu of your TV, at least for a number of older types of televisions. Newer models (like C series televisions) do not have this access mode. It would be wise to make or buy such a cable prior to changing your firmware in the event of a catastrophic event that requires this connection to recover your television functionality(unbrick your TV).

=Understanding SamyGO app vs. SamyGO firmware modification=

Many developers contribute to the SamyGO community and the goal of each application they develop is to enhance the functionality of your television. Applications can be typically be used in two ways:

# Standalone app aka as a SamyGO app or extension
# Incorporation of the application function into the TV firmware

The first method does not require any firmware modifications unless you have restricted firmware. In that case you must first unrestrict your television's firmware before running a SamyGO app. You gain the functionality you want by running the app. For example if you like big yellow subtitles on your TV you can activate the app then watch your movie with big yellow subtitles.

The second method involves advanced scripting modifications to your television firmware. Ingenious developers have developed some scripts that makes this process fairly simple and easy. Other scripts require careful editing of files inside your computer and should be performed with caution. Bricking your TV is a possibility with the method. It would be wise to have an exlink cable so you can unbrick your television.

So what's the difference between the two methods? You must activate the app each time your turn on your TV if you use a SamyGO app . A firmware modification is permanent and automatic, each time you turn on your TV. It may be harder to do but in the long run it saves you a lot of time.

=Firmware Modifications=
==Reverting back to unrestricted firmware==
Loading third party software has been limited with the latest versions of restricted firmware. If you are in the lucky group of television owners with unrestricted firmware then you can skip this section, you are in luck and can stop worrying about firmware restrictions! If your are in the unlucky group of restricted firmware (usually any firmware after dated updated in 2010) then you must revert back to an unrestricted firmware first prior running any SamyGO applications on your TV. Developers at SamyGO have made this a fairly simple process by using a script that automates this process. A list of supported television models and detailed instructions can be [[Forced_revert_back_to_older_firmware| found here]]. Please review all this in detail prior to proceeding with any modifications or running any scripts.

==Patching Firmware with the SamyGO Firmware Patcher==
B-series models (Non CI+) with older firmwares (pre february 2010) have firmware update files which are only trivially encrypted by Samsung and can be modified to allow additional functionality.The [[SamyGO_Firmware_Patcher| SamyGO firmware patch script]] is based on python a computer programming language and changes some of the startup scripts inside of the firmware. This allows additional functionality in the firmware.
Such functionality includes
# Applies the [[Video_AR_Fix|AR v1 Fix]]. This properly resizes the picture proportions n Samsung B series TVs
# Allows you to increase the size of srt subtitles shown in movie playback and
# Subtitle color can change as well. SamyGO favorite is yellow, (ARGB code for yellow is: 0xFFFFFF00, for original color: 0xFFF0F0F0)
# Telnet, advanced or patch.

Once the script completes you will have a new modified firmware with the aforementioned modifications. Once you flash this modified software to your television, you will enjoy the above enhancements but will also be able to run additional software which will enhance your television's functionality even further. This modified firmware makes it much easier to gain root access through [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Telnet telnet].

==Flashing your modified firmware==
This is outlined in your service manual.
#Make sure your firmware is copied to the root of your FAT32 formatted USB drive.
#You can reach the software upgrade menu from your remote control: Menu->Help->Software Upgrade->USB
#You get a pause for 30 secs while your TV searches for a valid firmware.
#Install your modified firmware.
#Remember altering your firmware and trying to install it carried risk of permanent damage. Please read the wiki and become acquainted with what you are trying to do.

If you are more adventurous and feel confident enough you can also update the firmware by direct access by using the exlink cable. Read about this: [[Enable_Serial_Console_on_non_CI%2B_Devices]].

=Using a SamyGO app=

If you have flashed the modified firmware or if you have an unrestricted firmware you can start playing and enjoying the [[Content_Library_applications_list|SamyGO applications]].
There is a [[Content_Library_applications_list|wiki page]] where a list of apps can be found. This page typically has a brief description of the app functionality, a link to download the file as well as a link to the forum where the develop seeks, feedback, can help with troubleshooting etc. Newer television models have

To run an app you should extract it directly to the root of your FAT32 formatted flash drive. Common extraction programs are winzip or winrar. Then you plug your flash drive into your TV USB port. If your TV is turned on a popup will appear that will prompt you to select: Media play, content library or software upgrade. Select Content Library.
In the content library menu select USB (left hand side) and move your highlighter to the games and/or children. You should see a list of the apps on your flash drive.

You have two options here. You can run the app from the flash drive or you can copy the app to the television internal memory. To run an app highlight it, hit enter on your remote and then play. If you don't get an error message then your app should be running.
Some apps run into problems if your USB flash drive is not fast enough to convey data. Preferably these are the apps you want to install, i.e. copy on your TV internal memory.

A good app to start with is the SamyGO Extensions pack. Read about it [[SamyGO_Extensions_Pack|here]].

=Using Internet@TV =

Internet@TV is the name Samsung has given to their latest television appliances which converge the internet and televisions in once device. They are a collection of Samsung apps which due to their graphical user interface are called widgets. Samsung, in its short-sightedness decided that some of the newer widgets would not be made available to older television model owners. However these older televisions (B-series) can actually run the new widgets included in the C-series. You can install widgets your own widgets by setting up a webserver on your home computer and directing your television to obtain the updated from your computer.

You may want to try out one of member's website who has pics and links to files to download [http://translate.google.com/translate?hl=us&sl=pl&tl=en&u=http://moras86.ugu.pl/samsung/faq/%23Internet_widgets step by step instructions].

=Compatibility table (just for evaluation purposes)=
Below is a first draft of a new version of a comprehensive compatibility table for SamyGO. It is here for evaluation purposes, please feel free to comment on it in the forum. Since this is a still a draft, not all links are there yet, or working. Also probably not all models have been put in yet, and the ones that are there have not yet been completed, I'm still working on it (especially finding the links into the forum pages is a tough job).

The main changes are:

removal of the display type (I think you know what you bought)

Indication of access routes with letters.

combination of a whole bunch of options into a few columns

Oh, and never mind the thin blank lines in the table, they're just empty table entries.

Note: The SamyGO project is compatible with most of the other LN, LA, UN, or UA model TV's. We just haven't tested them yet. No need to get worried about that.

SamyGO for DUMMIES

2011-01-28T23:06:46Z

Rhesus98: /* How can I get access to my TV? */ clarification of USB to include content library and hotel @USB

I think we have a problem here in SamyGO. Older members tend to know a lot about embedded systems and their operating systems, but some newbies don't seem to know how to execute basic programs...
We thought that every one would know that, because of its relative simplicity. But we are wrong there. Also the Wiki pages are too overwhelming for some newbies.

I think we needed to create a wiki page `SamyGO for DUMMIES" and divert all newbies to that article before starting.
The article might mention about how you could execute programs on a TV or copy them to internal TV memory etc. Easy things, which we don't feel the need to talk a lot about.

So I created this page. Me and others will fill this area later on to show simple processes. Also put pictures about running steps of external applications from TV etc...

This is page for "dummies".

Please keep this page '''"simple as possible" and "modularized"''', means, do not put information if it's not really required and do not try to explain other article pages, just give a link to that article ( like Samba Mounting, firmware patcher etc...) Here needed to be just elementary information.

Thanks

=What is SamyGO?=
SamyGO started in the summer of 2009 as a thread at avsforum, under the title "Samsung LNXXA650 InfoLink hacking". This thread drew a lot of attention and slowly strayed away from its original topic towards rooting TV's and firmware hacking. It also got quite long, so Erdem U. Altinyurt and a few others decided to start a sourceforge project, specific for enhancement of the firmware of Samsung TV-sets, specifically aimed at models issued from 2008 onwards. Many people stayed on and came along from avsforum to sourceforge.

So that is what SamyGO is: A sourceforge project, aimed at enhancing firmware and functionality, specifically for Samsung TV models from 2008 onwards.

The activities of the SamyGO project comprise, but are not limited to:

#Gaining access to all available Samsung TV models from 2008 onwards (rooting).
#Active development of software extensions to enhance Samsung TV accessibility.
#Active development of applications to run on Samsung TV hardware.
#Giving support to project members who want to enhance their TV's functionality.

SamyGO is not a program that you can "just run" on your TV. Enhancing your hardware is not THAT simple. It requires some beginner and intermediate computer skills. The community will support you and is committed to helping you make this work for you. Remember however, that you need to do your part too. Read and try to understand. If you don't understand, ask in the appropriate forum. Proceed only once you understand what it is you are trying to achieve.

=I want more functionality from my TV. What do I need to do?=

In order to run SamyGO applications you need the following:

#A television that is supported by SamyGo Software. See the [[Compatibility| compatibility list]]. If you cannot find your model listed it '''does not necessarily mean''' that your model is not supported. Ask in the appropriate support forum. Developers are from different countries around the world. They don't have access to every television model on the market to personally test their apps. However all these televisions run on linux which makes this project possible.
# Find out which firmware version your TV is equipped with. Newer firmwares are not (yet) supported by SamyGO.
# Checkout the access route for your TV. This is in the supported models list. This is the way you access your television to run samyGO apps. If you're smart you'll also get an ex-link cable and take the necessary precautions (active debug and turn off watchdog in the service menu) to be ready in case of a serious user mistake.
#A USB drive formatted with FAT or FAT32. A rule of thumb is ALWAYS extract the files you are going to use directly to the USB drive. Linux executable have some file attributes that are not preserved if you copy them on NTFS( a windows only) file system.
# Get access! Follow the tutorials in the Wiki pages for that.
# Install the software you like/need.
# Enjoy your improved equipment!!

Each of these steps will be explained in the wiki.

=What is my TV model code and number ?=
[[File:Ue40b7020_model.png|right]]Model code and number are almost the same thing. The model number is a short form of the model code. This is a sample model code with the model number written bold.
'''UE40B7020'''WWXXC
You can read your model code from the sticker at the side or rear of your TV. Once you found the model, you can check whether it is supported by SamyGO [[Compatibility|here for A- and B-series]] and [[Compatibility_Table_for_C_series_TVs| here for C-series models.]]

=What is my firmware model and version ?=
You can learn your firmware number by entering the [[Service Menu]]. Read the detailed wiki page before proceeding with '''GREAT''' caution.

Do not change anything in the service menu until you understand what each setting does. The service menu is like entering the BIOS in a computer. It's where changes can be made to the "brain" that controls television functions. Making the wrong choice in a setting can result in a completely unexpected result and brick your television. To navigate the Service menu ''ONLY'' use the up and down button. Use enter to select and the previous button to return to the previous screen. '''DO NOT USE the RIGHT and LEFT''' buttons of your remote while navigating the service menu unless you know what you are trying to do. Using the left and right navigation butttons may change some variables that may easily brick your TV. If you do make a change to a menu, do not panic. Simply navigate in the opposite direction until the original variable is visible. The option that is visible is the selected option.

To identify your firmware version you only need to enter the main screen of the service menu. You do not need to navigate to other Service menu pages. Identification of your firmware version is important to determine whether your television firmware is supported by SamyGO [[Compatibility|here for A- and B-series]] and here for[[Compatibility_Table_for_C_series_TVs| C-series models.]] You exit the Service menu by turning off the television.

=Is my TV a CI or a CI+ device?=
Samsung has implemented increasing encryption with each series of televsions it releases. Earlier models had no firmware encryption, subsequent firmware releases have [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/XOR_cipher XOR]cipher encryption and the latest firmware releases utilize both AES and XOR encryption. This encryption limits how much editing of a firmware can be done despite the fact that the software Samsung uses is opensource and [http://opensource.samsung.com/ publicly available] per GNU and GPL licensing terms. Knowing the type of firmware utilized is important because it determines what kind of access you can obtain in your television's operating system. There are two types of firmwares based on access, CI and CI+ devices.

A television from the C series is always a CI+ device. B series models have two possibilities: If there is a P in the last part of the model code, it is most likely a CI+ device. The firmware version installed on these TV's has the letters CIP in the firmware version code. Otherwise it is probably a CI device. A series devices do not have encryption.

Some examples:
LE40B652T4'''W'''XXU device uses T-CHL7DEUC firmware, which indicates it is a CI device.
LE40B652T2'''P'''XXU device uses T-CHLCIPDEUC firmware, which indicates it is a CI+ device.
UE40B7020W'''W'''XXC device uses T-CHU7DEUC firmware, which indicates it is a CI device.
'''TODO: Add some UN,UE and PS model "codes" here.'''

You can also find your firmware name and version number in the [[Service Menu]].
This is important to know because there are different software solutions depending on whether your TV is a CI or a CI+ device. Software developers frequently develop two versions of software to support these two types of firmwares. Knowing what kind of TV you have will allow you to select the appropriate SamyGO app.

=What are Restricted Firmwares?=
Restricted Firmwares are original Samsung firmwares which have been released after 01 February 2010. These firmwares have been restricted in many ways by Samsung and have limited how much access one can gain inside their television's operating system. Here in the SamyGO community, we believe this is a deliberate effort to hinder and disable our software development efforts. It is probably also required by the copyright holders of certain parts of the encryption/decryption software for CI+.

Functions that have been removed by the release of these Restricted Firmwares are:
*ExLink Access , that allows us Serial connection to TV's bash line.
*Removal of Top Debug Menu that let us allow to configure every property of TV.
*Removal of u-boot code for that we use to run External firmwares and un-bricking TV.
*Removal of program copy and execution ability from USB disks.
*Removal of Alternative firmware firmware section to avoid reverting older firmwares.
*Additional security enhancements to avoid to flash hacked firmwares.

(*'''TODO: Anything that I forgot?")

If you are interested in applying any of the SamyGO software enhancements to your television's firmware, it's better not to have received any of these firmwares. However, do not despair if you have had your television crippled by these "updates". The ingenuity and hard work of the developers of the SamyGO community have found several work-arounds that will allow you to restore your television to an older firmware that allows SamyGO applications to run. They have also simplified and automated part of this process as much as it is legally possible.

Unfortunately, if you have a restricted firmware, you can't just plug and play. There are several steps that you need to take to gain back "ownership" of your television. Several steps are involved including, copying programs to your TV memory by using an open vulnerabilities such as the "Children Menu" hack or the Nurisam Trojan. This will allow you to move applications to TV and enjoy additional features currently no possible...

=How can I get access to my TV?=
Samsung televisions have an embedded operating system based on linux. When you turn your television on you are essentially operating a computer as a user. You are given limited access to core parts of the operating system by design. If you want more control of what your television you must give it commands to run additional pieces of software with the functionality you desire. To do this you need to obtain access to the television's operating system as a [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Superuser superuser or with root access].
To control any Linux-based system, you need root access to it (Administrator privileges in Windows). Depending on the type of TV and version of the firmware, this can be achieved in a number of ways. In the compatibility tables you can find the methods that have been used successfully for each type (The list is not complete yet, work in progress).
Depending on the firmware and television model you may be able to do this with a simple software installation from a USB drive or you may need to install modified firmware or may need to revert to an older version of firmware that has not been restricted by Samsung.
You can gain access to your televisions operating in several ways.Consult the compatibility table at the bottom of this page to determine which method you can use:

#'''USB''': Loading software from the USB port by flash drive. Restricted firmware has disallowed access to the built in functionality. This is also how patched firmware is flashed. This is also how content library SamyGO apps can be executed. A variation of this method ia hotel@USB which is required for newer television models like the C series. Other
#'''Telnet''': For models with ethernet connectivity it is possible to gain telnet access via your computer network. Non ethernet models may also become network accessible by using a usb wi-fi dongle. This required that you have already obtained root acess and your your television has been modified to allow network access (less common way).
#'''Ex-link Port''' An Ex-link port or service port which allows direct connection from your computer to the television. Many TV models (A and B series) are accessible through a serial port, called Ex-link. This is a serial port, with a 3.5mm stereo jack as a connector port that is called "connector for service only" in your television manual. To use this port, you will need a serial cable with the right layout, which is given [[Enable_Serial_Console_on_non_CI%2B_Devices|'''here'''.]] On the same page you will find how to enter the service menu of your TV, at least for a number of older types of televisions. Newer models (like C series televisions) do not have this access mode. It would be wise to make or buy such a cable prior to changing your firmware in the event of a catastrophic event that requires this connection to recover your television functionality(unbrick your TV).

=Understanding SamyGO app vs. SamyGO firmware modification=

Many developers contribute to the SamyGO community and the goal of each application they develop is to enhance the functionality of your television. Applications can be typically be used in two ways:

# Standalone app aka as a SamyGO app or extension
# Incorporation of the application function into the TV firmware

The first method does not require any firmware modifications unless you have restricted firmware. In that case you must first unrestrict your television's firmware before running a SamyGO app. You gain the functionality you want by running the app. For example if you like big yellow subtitles on your TV you can activate the app then watch your movie with big yellow subtitles.

The second method involves advanced scripting modifications to your television firmware. Ingenious developers have developed some scripts that makes this process fairly simple and easy. Other scripts require careful editing of files inside your computer and should be performed with caution. Bricking your TV is a possibility with the method. It would be wise to have an exlink cable so you can unbrick your television.

So what's the difference between the two methods? You must activate the app each time your turn on your TV if you use a SamyGO app . A firmware modification is permanent and automatic, each time you turn on your TV. It may be harder to do but in the long run it saves you a lot of time.

=Firmware Modifications=
==Reverting back to unrestricted firmware==
Loading third party software has been limited with the latest versions of restricted firmware. If you are in the lucky group of television owners with unrestricted firmware then you can skip this section, you are in luck and can stop worrying about firmware restrictions! If your are in the unlucky group of restricted firmware (usually any firmware after dated updated in 2010) then you must revert back to an unrestricted firmware first prior running any SamyGO applications on your TV. Developers at SamyGO have made this a fairly simple process by using a script that automates this process. A list of supported television models and detailed instructions can be [[Forced_revert_back_to_older_firmware| found here]]. Please review all this in detail prior to proceeding with any modifications or running any scripts.

==Patching Firmware with the SamyGO Firmware Patcher==
B-series models (Non CI+) with older firmwares (pre february 2010) have firmware update files which are only trivially encrypted by Samsung and can be modified to allow additional functionality.The [[SamyGO_Firmware_Patcher| SamyGO firmware patch script]] is based on python a computer programming language and changes some of the startup scripts inside of the firmware. This allows additional functionality in the firmware.
Such functionality includes
# Applies the [[Video_AR_Fix|AR v1 Fix]]. This properly resizes the picture proportions n Samsung B series TVs
# Allows you to increase the size of srt subtitles shown in movie playback and
# Subtitle color can change as well. SamyGO favorite is yellow, (ARGB code for yellow is: 0xFFFFFF00, for original color: 0xFFF0F0F0)
# Telnet, advanced or patch.

Once the script completes you will have a new modified firmware with the aforementioned modifications. Once you flash this modified software to your television, you will enjoy the above enhancements but will also be able to run additional software which will enhance your television's functionality even further. This modified firmware makes it much easier to gain root access through [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Telnet telnet].

==Flashing your modified firmware==
This is outlined in your service manual.
#Make sure your firmware is copied to the root of your FAT32 formatted USB drive.
#You can reach the software upgrade menu from your remote control: Menu->Help->Software Upgrade->USB
#You get a pause for 30 secs while your TV searches for a valid firmware.
#Install your modified firmware.
#Remember altering your firmware and trying to install it carried risk of permanent damage. Please read the wiki and become acquainted with what you are trying to do.

If you are more adventurous and feel confident enough you can also update the firmware by direct access by using the exlink cable. Read about this: [[Enable_Serial_Console_on_non_CI%2B_Devices]].

=Using a SamyGO app=

If you have flashed the modified firmware or if you have an unrestricted firmware you can start playing and enjoying the [[Content_Library_applications_list|SamyGO applications]].
There is a [[Content_Library_applications_list|wiki page]] where a list of apps can be found. This page typically has a brief description of the app functionality, a link to download the file as well as a link to the forum where the develop seeks, feedback, can help with troubleshooting etc. Newer television models have

To run an app you should extract it directly to the root of your FAT32 formatted flash drive. Common extraction programs are winzip or winrar. Then you plug your flash drive into your TV USB port. If your TV is turned on a popup will appear that will prompt you to select: Media play, content library or software upgrade. Select Content Library.
In the content library menu select USB (left hand side) and move your highlighter to the games and/or children. You should see a list of the apps on your flash drive.

You have two options here. You can run the app from the flash drive or you can copy the app to the television internal memory. To run an app highlight it, hit enter on your remote and then play. If you don't get an error message then your app should be running.
Some apps run into problems if your USB flash drive is not fast enough to convey data. Preferably these are the apps you want to install, i.e. copy on your TV internal memory.

A good app to start with is the SamyGO Extensions pack. Read about it [[SamyGO_Extensions_Pack|here]].

=Using Internet@TV =

Internet@TV is the name Samsung has given to their latest television appliances which converge the internet and televisions in once device. They are a collection of Samsung apps which due to their graphical user interface are called widgets. Samsung, in its short-sightedness decided that some of the newer widgets would not be made available to older television model owners. However these older televisions (B-series) can actually run the new widgets included in the C-series. You can install widgets your own widgets by setting up a webserver on your home computer and directing your television to obtain the updated from your computer.

'''TODO'''


=Compatibility table (just for evaluation purposes)=
Below is a first draft of a new version of a comprehensive compatibility table for SamyGO. It is here for evaluation purposes, please feel free to comment on it in the forum. Since this is a still a draft, not all links are there yet, or working. Also probably not all models have been put in yet, and the ones that are there have not yet been completed, I'm still working on it (especially finding the links into the forum pages is a tough job).

The main changes are:

removal of the display type (I think you know what you bought)

Indication of access routes with letters.

combination of a whole bunch of options into a few columns

Oh, and never mind the thin blank lines in the table, they're just empty table entries.

Note: The SamyGO project is compatible with most of the other LN, LA, UN, or UA model TV's. We just haven't tested them yet. No need to get worried about that.

SamyGO for DUMMIES

2011-01-28T23:02:01Z

Rhesus98: /* What is my firmware model and version ? */

I think we have a problem here in SamyGO. Older members tend to know a lot about embedded systems and their operating systems, but some newbies don't seem to know how to execute basic programs...
We thought that every one would know that, because of its relative simplicity. But we are wrong there. Also the Wiki pages are too overwhelming for some newbies.

I think we needed to create a wiki page `SamyGO for DUMMIES" and divert all newbies to that article before starting.
The article might mention about how you could execute programs on a TV or copy them to internal TV memory etc. Easy things, which we don't feel the need to talk a lot about.

So I created this page. Me and others will fill this area later on to show simple processes. Also put pictures about running steps of external applications from TV etc...

=Admin's Message for members to edit this page=
This is page for "dummies".

Please keep this page '''"simple as possible" and "modularized"''', means, do not put information if it's not really required and do not try to explain other article pages, just give a link to that article ( like Samba Mounting, firmware patcher etc...) Here needed to be just elementary information.

Thanks

=What is SamyGO?=
SamyGO started in the summer of 2009 as a thread at avsforum, under the title "Samsung LNXXA650 InfoLink hacking". This thread drew a lot of attention and slowly strayed away from its original topic towards rooting TV's and firmware hacking. It also got quite long, so Erdem U. Altinyurt and a few others decided to start a sourceforge project, specific for enhancement of the firmware of Samsung TV-sets, specifically aimed at models issued from 2008 onwards. Many people stayed on and came along from avsforum to sourceforge.

So that is what SamyGO is: A sourceforge project, aimed at enhancing firmware and functionality, specifically for Samsung TV models from 2008 onwards.

The activities of the SamyGO project comprise, but are not limited to:

#Gaining access to all available Samsung TV models from 2008 onwards (rooting).
#Active development of software extensions to enhance Samsung TV accessibility.
#Active development of applications to run on Samsung TV hardware.
#Giving support to project members who want to enhance their TV's functionality.

SamyGO is not a program that you can "just run" on your TV. Enhancing your hardware is not THAT simple. It requires some beginner and intermediate computer skills. The community will support you and is committed to helping you make this work for you. Remember however, that you need to do your part too. Read and try to understand. If you don't understand, ask in the appropriate forum. Proceed only once you understand what it is you are trying to achieve.

=I want more functionality from my TV. What do I need to do?=

In order to run SamyGO applications you need the following:

#A television that is supported by SamyGo Software. See the [[Compatibility| compatibility list]]. If you cannot find your model listed it '''does not necessarily mean''' that your model is not supported. Ask in the appropriate support forum. Developers are from different countries around the world. They don't have access to every television model on the market to personally test their apps. However all these televisions run on linux which makes this project possible.
# Find out which firmware version your TV is equipped with. Newer firmwares are not (yet) supported by SamyGO.
# Checkout the access route for your TV. This is in the supported models list. This is the way you access your television to run samyGO apps. If you're smart you'll also get an ex-link cable and take the necessary precautions (active debug and turn off watchdog in the service menu) to be ready in case of a serious user mistake.
#A USB drive formatted with FAT or FAT32. A rule of thumb is ALWAYS extract the files you are going to use directly to the USB drive. Linux executable have some file attributes that are not preserved if you copy them on NTFS( a windows only) file system.
# Get access! Follow the tutorials in the Wiki pages for that.
# Install the software you like/need.
# Enjoy your improved equipment!!

Each of these steps will be explained in the wiki.

=What is my TV model code and number ?=
[[File:Ue40b7020_model.png|right]]Model code and number are almost the same thing. The model number is a short form of the model code. This is a sample model code with the model number written bold.
'''UE40B7020'''WWXXC
You can read your model code from the sticker at the side or rear of your TV. Once you found the model, you can check whether it is supported by SamyGO [[Compatibility|here for A- and B-series]] and [[Compatibility_Table_for_C_series_TVs| here for C-series models.]]

=What is my firmware model and version ?=
You can learn your firmware number by entering the [[Service Menu]]. Read the detailed wiki page before proceeding with '''GREAT''' caution.

Do not change anything in the service menu until you understand what each setting does. The service menu is like entering the BIOS in a computer. It's where changes can be made to the "brain" that controls television functions. Making the wrong choice in a setting can result in a completely unexpected result and brick your television. To navigate the Service menu ''ONLY'' use the up and down button. Use enter to select and the previous button to return to the previous screen. '''DO NOT USE the RIGHT and LEFT''' buttons of your remote while navigating the service menu unless you know what you are trying to do. Using the left and right navigation butttons may change some variables that may easily brick your TV. If you do make a change to a menu, do not panic. Simply navigate in the opposite direction until the original variable is visible. The option that is visible is the selected option.

To identify your firmware version you only need to enter the main screen of the service menu. You do not need to navigate to other Service menu pages. Identification of your firmware version is important to determine whether your television firmware is supported by SamyGO [[Compatibility|here for A- and B-series]] and here for[[Compatibility_Table_for_C_series_TVs| C-series models.]] You exit the Service menu by turning off the television.

=Is my TV a CI or a CI+ device?=
Samsung has implemented increasing encryption with each series of televsions it releases. Earlier models had no firmware encryption, subsequent firmware releases have [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/XOR_cipher XOR]cipher encryption and the latest firmware releases utilize both AES and XOR encryption. This encryption limits how much editing of a firmware can be done despite the fact that the software Samsung uses is opensource and [http://opensource.samsung.com/ publicly available] per GNU and GPL licensing terms. Knowing the type of firmware utilized is important because it determines what kind of access you can obtain in your television's operating system. There are two types of firmwares based on access, CI and CI+ devices.

A television from the C series is always a CI+ device. B series models have two possibilities: If there is a P in the last part of the model code, it is most likely a CI+ device. The firmware version installed on these TV's has the letters CIP in the firmware version code. Otherwise it is probably a CI device. A series devices do not have encryption.

Some examples:
LE40B652T4'''W'''XXU device uses T-CHL7DEUC firmware, which indicates it is a CI device.
LE40B652T2'''P'''XXU device uses T-CHLCIPDEUC firmware, which indicates it is a CI+ device.
UE40B7020W'''W'''XXC device uses T-CHU7DEUC firmware, which indicates it is a CI device.
'''TODO: Add some UN,UE and PS model "codes" here.'''

You can also find your firmware name and version number in the [[Service Menu]].
This is important to know because there are different software solutions depending on whether your TV is a CI or a CI+ device. Software developers frequently develop two versions of software to support these two types of firmwares. Knowing what kind of TV you have will allow you to select the appropriate SamyGO app.

=What are Restricted Firmwares?=
Restricted Firmwares are original Samsung firmwares which have been released after 01 February 2010. These firmwares have been restricted in many ways by Samsung and have limited how much access one can gain inside their television's operating system. Here in the SamyGO community, we believe this is a deliberate effort to hinder and disable our software development efforts. It is probably also required by the copyright holders of certain parts of the encryption/decryption software for CI+.

Functions that have been removed by the release of these Restricted Firmwares are:
*ExLink Access , that allows us Serial connection to TV's bash line.
*Removal of Top Debug Menu that let us allow to configure every property of TV.
*Removal of u-boot code for that we use to run External firmwares and un-bricking TV.
*Removal of program copy and execution ability from USB disks.
*Removal of Alternative firmware firmware section to avoid reverting older firmwares.
*Additional security enhancements to avoid to flash hacked firmwares.

(*'''TODO: Anything that I forgot?")

If you are interested in applying any of the SamyGO software enhancements to your television's firmware, it's better not to have received any of these firmwares. However, do not despair if you have had your television crippled by these "updates". The ingenuity and hard work of the developers of the SamyGO community have found several work-arounds that will allow you to restore your television to an older firmware that allows SamyGO applications to run. They have also simplified and automated part of this process as much as it is legally possible.

Unfortunately, if you have a restricted firmware, you can't just plug and play. There are several steps that you need to take to gain back "ownership" of your television. Several steps are involved including, copying programs to your TV memory by using an open vulnerabilities such as the "Children Menu" hack or the Nurisam Trojan. This will allow you to move applications to TV and enjoy additional features currently no possible...

=How can I get access to my TV?=
Samsung televisions have an embedded operating system based on linux. When you turn your television on you are essentially operating a computer as a user. You are given limited access to core parts of the operating system by design. If you want more control of what your television you must give it commands to run additional pieces of software with the functionality you desire. To do this you need to obtain access to the television's operating system as a [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Superuser superuser or with root access].
To control any Linux-based system, you need root access to it (Administrator privileges in Windows). Depending on the type of TV and version of the firmware, this can be achieved in a number of ways. In the compatibility tables you can find the methods that have been used successfully for each type (The list is not complete yet, work in progress).
Depending on the firmware and television model you may be able to do this with a simple software installation from a USB drive or you may need to install modified firmware or may need to revert to an older version of firmware that has not been restricted by Samsung.
You can gain access to your televisions operating in several ways.Consult the compatibility table at the bottom of this page to determine which method you can use:

#'''USB''': Loading software from the USB port by flash drive. Restricted firmware has disallowed access to the built in functionality. This is also how modified firmware is flashed. A variation of this method of accessing your television is hotel@USB which is required for newer television models like the C series.
#'''Telnet''': For models with ethernet connectivity it is possible to gain telnet access via your computer network. Non ethernet models may also become network accessible by using a usb wi-fi dongle. This required that you have already obtained root acess and your your television has been modified to allow network access (less common way).
#'''Ex-link Port''' An Ex-link port or service port which allows direct connection from your computer to the television. Many TV models (A and B series) are accessible through a serial port, called Ex-link. This is a serial port, with a 3.5mm stereo jack as a connector port that is called "connector for service only" in your television manual. To use this port, you will need a serial cable with the right layout, which is given [[Enable_Serial_Console_on_non_CI%2B_Devices|'''here'''.]] On the same page you will find how to enter the service menu of your TV, at least for a number of older types of televisions. Newer models (like C series televisions) do not have this access mode. It would be wise to make or buy such a cable prior to changing your firmware in the event of a catastrophic event that requires this connection to recover your television functionality(unbrick your TV).

=Understanding SamyGO app vs. SamyGO firmware modification=

Many developers contribute to the SamyGO community and the goal of each application they develop is to enhance the functionality of your television. Applications can be typically be used in two ways:

# Standalone app aka as a SamyGO app or extension
# Incorporation of the application function into the TV firmware

The first method does not require any firmware modifications unless you have restricted firmware. In that case you must first unrestrict your television's firmware before running a SamyGO app. You gain the functionality you want by running the app. For example if you like big yellow subtitles on your TV you can activate the app then watch your movie with big yellow subtitles.

The second method involves advanced scripting modifications to your television firmware. Ingenious developers have developed some scripts that makes this process fairly simple and easy. Other scripts require careful editing of files inside your computer and should be performed with caution. Bricking your TV is a possibility with the method. It would be wise to have an exlink cable so you can unbrick your television.

So what's the difference between the two methods? You must activate the app each time your turn on your TV if you use a SamyGO app . A firmware modification is permanent and automatic, each time you turn on your TV. It may be harder to do but in the long run it saves you a lot of time.

=Firmware Modifications=
==Reverting back to unrestricted firmware==
Loading third party software has been limited with the latest versions of restricted firmware. If you are in the lucky group of television owners with unrestricted firmware then you can skip this section, you are in luck and can stop worrying about firmware restrictions! If your are in the unlucky group of restricted firmware (usually any firmware after dated updated in 2010) then you must revert back to an unrestricted firmware first prior running any SamyGO applications on your TV. Developers at SamyGO have made this a fairly simple process by using a script that automates this process. A list of supported television models and detailed instructions can be [[Forced_revert_back_to_older_firmware| found here]]. Please review all this in detail prior to proceeding with any modifications or running any scripts.

==Patching Firmware with the SamyGO Firmware Patcher==
B-series models (Non CI+) with older firmwares (pre february 2010) have firmware update files which are only trivially encrypted by Samsung and can be modified to allow additional functionality.The [[SamyGO_Firmware_Patcher| SamyGO firmware patch script]] is based on python a computer programming language and changes some of the startup scripts inside of the firmware. This allows additional functionality in the firmware.
Such functionality includes
# Applies the [[Video_AR_Fix|AR v1 Fix]]. This properly resizes the picture proportions n Samsung B series TVs
# Allows you to increase the size of srt subtitles shown in movie playback and
# Subtitle color can change as well. SamyGO favorite is yellow, (ARGB code for yellow is: 0xFFFFFF00, for original color: 0xFFF0F0F0)
# Telnet, advanced or patch.

Once the script completes you will have a new modified firmware with the aforementioned modifications. Once you flash this modified software to your television, you will enjoy the above enhancements but will also be able to run additional software which will enhance your television's functionality even further. This modified firmware makes it much easier to gain root access through [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Telnet telnet].

==Flashing your modified firmware==
This is outlined in your service manual.
#Make sure your firmware is copied to the root of your FAT32 formatted USB drive.
#You can reach the software upgrade menu from your remote control: Menu->Help->Software Upgrade->USB
#You get a pause for 30 secs while your TV searches for a valid firmware.
#Install your modified firmware.
#Remember altering your firmware and trying to install it carried risk of permanent damage. Please read the wiki and become acquainted with what you are trying to do.

If you are more adventurous and feel confident enough you can also update the firmware by direct access by using the exlink cable. Read about this: [[Enable_Serial_Console_on_non_CI%2B_Devices]].

=Using a SamyGO app=

If you have flashed the modified firmware or if you have an unrestricted firmware you can start playing and enjoying the [[Content_Library_applications_list|SamyGO applications]].
There is a [[Content_Library_applications_list|wiki page]] where a list of apps can be found. This page typically has a brief description of the app functionality, a link to download the file as well as a link to the forum where the develop seeks, feedback, can help with troubleshooting etc. Newer television models have

To run an app you should extract it directly to the root of your FAT32 formatted flash drive. Common extraction programs are winzip or winrar. Then you plug your flash drive into your TV USB port. If your TV is turned on a popup will appear that will prompt you to select: Media play, content library or software upgrade. Select Content Library.
In the content library menu select USB (left hand side) and move your highlighter to the games and/or children. You should see a list of the apps on your flash drive.

You have two options here. You can run the app from the flash drive or you can copy the app to the television internal memory. To run an app highlight it, hit enter on your remote and then play. If you don't get an error message then your app should be running.
Some apps run into problems if your USB flash drive is not fast enough to convey data. Preferably these are the apps you want to install, i.e. copy on your TV internal memory.

A good app to start with is the SamyGO Extensions pack. Read about it [[SamyGO_Extensions_Pack|here]].

=Using Internet@TV =

Internet@TV is the name Samsung has given to their latest television appliances which converge the internet and televisions in once device. They are a collection of Samsung apps which due to their graphical user interface are called widgets. Samsung, in its short-sightedness decided that some of the newer widgets would not be made available to older television model owners. However these older televisions (B-series) can actually run the new widgets included in the C-series. You can install widgets your own widgets by setting up a webserver on your home computer and directing your television to obtain the updated from your computer.

'''TODO'''


=Compatibility table (just for evaluation purposes)=
Below is a first draft of a new version of a comprehensive compatibility table for SamyGO. It is here for evaluation purposes, please feel free to comment on it in the forum. Since this is a still a draft, not all links are there yet, or working. Also probably not all models have been put in yet, and the ones that are there have not yet been completed, I'm still working on it (especially finding the links into the forum pages is a tough job).

The main changes are:

removal of the display type (I think you know what you bought)

Indication of access routes with letters.

combination of a whole bunch of options into a few columns

Oh, and never mind the thin blank lines in the table, they're just empty table entries.

Note: The SamyGO project is compatible with most of the other LN, LA, UN, or UA model TV's. We just haven't tested them yet. No need to get worried about that.

SamyGO for DUMMIES

2011-01-28T23:00:14Z

Rhesus98: /* I want more functionality from my TV. What do I need to do? */

I think we have a problem here in SamyGO. Older members tend to know a lot about embedded systems and their operating systems, but some newbies don't seem to know how to execute basic programs...
We thought that every one would know that, because of its relative simplicity. But we are wrong there. Also the Wiki pages are too overwhelming for some newbies.

I think we needed to create a wiki page `SamyGO for DUMMIES" and divert all newbies to that article before starting.
The article might mention about how you could execute programs on a TV or copy them to internal TV memory etc. Easy things, which we don't feel the need to talk a lot about.

So I created this page. Me and others will fill this area later on to show simple processes. Also put pictures about running steps of external applications from TV etc...

=Admin's Message for members to edit this page=
This is page for "dummies".

Please keep this page '''"simple as possible" and "modularized"''', means, do not put information if it's not really required and do not try to explain other article pages, just give a link to that article ( like Samba Mounting, firmware patcher etc...) Here needed to be just elementary information.

Thanks

=What is SamyGO?=
SamyGO started in the summer of 2009 as a thread at avsforum, under the title "Samsung LNXXA650 InfoLink hacking". This thread drew a lot of attention and slowly strayed away from its original topic towards rooting TV's and firmware hacking. It also got quite long, so Erdem U. Altinyurt and a few others decided to start a sourceforge project, specific for enhancement of the firmware of Samsung TV-sets, specifically aimed at models issued from 2008 onwards. Many people stayed on and came along from avsforum to sourceforge.

So that is what SamyGO is: A sourceforge project, aimed at enhancing firmware and functionality, specifically for Samsung TV models from 2008 onwards.

The activities of the SamyGO project comprise, but are not limited to:

#Gaining access to all available Samsung TV models from 2008 onwards (rooting).
#Active development of software extensions to enhance Samsung TV accessibility.
#Active development of applications to run on Samsung TV hardware.
#Giving support to project members who want to enhance their TV's functionality.

SamyGO is not a program that you can "just run" on your TV. Enhancing your hardware is not THAT simple. It requires some beginner and intermediate computer skills. The community will support you and is committed to helping you make this work for you. Remember however, that you need to do your part too. Read and try to understand. If you don't understand, ask in the appropriate forum. Proceed only once you understand what it is you are trying to achieve.

=I want more functionality from my TV. What do I need to do?=

In order to run SamyGO applications you need the following:

#A television that is supported by SamyGo Software. See the [[Compatibility| compatibility list]]. If you cannot find your model listed it '''does not necessarily mean''' that your model is not supported. Ask in the appropriate support forum. Developers are from different countries around the world. They don't have access to every television model on the market to personally test their apps. However all these televisions run on linux which makes this project possible.
# Find out which firmware version your TV is equipped with. Newer firmwares are not (yet) supported by SamyGO.
# Checkout the access route for your TV. This is in the supported models list. This is the way you access your television to run samyGO apps. If you're smart you'll also get an ex-link cable and take the necessary precautions (active debug and turn off watchdog in the service menu) to be ready in case of a serious user mistake.
#A USB drive formatted with FAT or FAT32. A rule of thumb is ALWAYS extract the files you are going to use directly to the USB drive. Linux executable have some file attributes that are not preserved if you copy them on NTFS( a windows only) file system.
# Get access! Follow the tutorials in the Wiki pages for that.
# Install the software you like/need.
# Enjoy your improved equipment!!

Each of these steps will be explained in the wiki.

=What is my TV model code and number ?=
[[File:Ue40b7020_model.png|right]]Model code and number are almost the same thing. The model number is a short form of the model code. This is a sample model code with the model number written bold.
'''UE40B7020'''WWXXC
You can read your model code from the sticker at the side or rear of your TV. Once you found the model, you can check whether it is supported by SamyGO [[Compatibility|here for A- and B-series]] and [[Compatibility_Table_for_C_series_TVs| here for C-series models.]]

=What is my firmware model and version ?=
You can learn your firmware number by entering the [[Service Menu]]. Read the detailed wiki page before proceeding with '''GREAT''' caution.

Do not change anything in the service menu until you understand what each setting does. The service menu is like entering the BIOS in a computer. It's where changes can be made to the "brain" that controls television functions. Making the wrong choice in a setting can result in a completely unexpected result and brick your television. To navigate the Service menu ''ONLY'' use the up and down button. Use enter to select and the previous button to return to the previous screen. '''DO NOT USE the RIGHT and LEFT''' buttons of your remote while navigating the service menu unless you know what you are trying to do. Using the left and right navigation butttons may change some variables that may easily brick your TV. If you do make a change to a menu, do not panic. Simply navigate in the opposite direction until the original variable is visible. This is by default the selected option.

To identify your firmware version you only need to enter the main screen of the service menu. You do not need to navigate to other Service menu pages. Identification of your firmware version is important to determine whether your television firmware is supported by SamyGO [[Compatibility|here for A- and B-series]] and here for[[Compatibility_Table_for_C_series_TVs| C-series models.]] You exit the Service menu by turning off the television.

=Is my TV a CI or a CI+ device?=
Samsung has implemented increasing encryption with each series of televsions it releases. Earlier models had no firmware encryption, subsequent firmware releases have [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/XOR_cipher XOR]cipher encryption and the latest firmware releases utilize both AES and XOR encryption. This encryption limits how much editing of a firmware can be done despite the fact that the software Samsung uses is opensource and [http://opensource.samsung.com/ publicly available] per GNU and GPL licensing terms. Knowing the type of firmware utilized is important because it determines what kind of access you can obtain in your television's operating system. There are two types of firmwares based on access, CI and CI+ devices.

A television from the C series is always a CI+ device. B series models have two possibilities: If there is a P in the last part of the model code, it is most likely a CI+ device. The firmware version installed on these TV's has the letters CIP in the firmware version code. Otherwise it is probably a CI device. A series devices do not have encryption.

Some examples:
LE40B652T4'''W'''XXU device uses T-CHL7DEUC firmware, which indicates it is a CI device.
LE40B652T2'''P'''XXU device uses T-CHLCIPDEUC firmware, which indicates it is a CI+ device.
UE40B7020W'''W'''XXC device uses T-CHU7DEUC firmware, which indicates it is a CI device.
'''TODO: Add some UN,UE and PS model "codes" here.'''

You can also find your firmware name and version number in the [[Service Menu]].
This is important to know because there are different software solutions depending on whether your TV is a CI or a CI+ device. Software developers frequently develop two versions of software to support these two types of firmwares. Knowing what kind of TV you have will allow you to select the appropriate SamyGO app.

=What are Restricted Firmwares?=
Restricted Firmwares are original Samsung firmwares which have been released after 01 February 2010. These firmwares have been restricted in many ways by Samsung and have limited how much access one can gain inside their television's operating system. Here in the SamyGO community, we believe this is a deliberate effort to hinder and disable our software development efforts. It is probably also required by the copyright holders of certain parts of the encryption/decryption software for CI+.

Functions that have been removed by the release of these Restricted Firmwares are:
*ExLink Access , that allows us Serial connection to TV's bash line.
*Removal of Top Debug Menu that let us allow to configure every property of TV.
*Removal of u-boot code for that we use to run External firmwares and un-bricking TV.
*Removal of program copy and execution ability from USB disks.
*Removal of Alternative firmware firmware section to avoid reverting older firmwares.
*Additional security enhancements to avoid to flash hacked firmwares.

(*'''TODO: Anything that I forgot?")

If you are interested in applying any of the SamyGO software enhancements to your television's firmware, it's better not to have received any of these firmwares. However, do not despair if you have had your television crippled by these "updates". The ingenuity and hard work of the developers of the SamyGO community have found several work-arounds that will allow you to restore your television to an older firmware that allows SamyGO applications to run. They have also simplified and automated part of this process as much as it is legally possible.

Unfortunately, if you have a restricted firmware, you can't just plug and play. There are several steps that you need to take to gain back "ownership" of your television. Several steps are involved including, copying programs to your TV memory by using an open vulnerabilities such as the "Children Menu" hack or the Nurisam Trojan. This will allow you to move applications to TV and enjoy additional features currently no possible...

=How can I get access to my TV?=
Samsung televisions have an embedded operating system based on linux. When you turn your television on you are essentially operating a computer as a user. You are given limited access to core parts of the operating system by design. If you want more control of what your television you must give it commands to run additional pieces of software with the functionality you desire. To do this you need to obtain access to the television's operating system as a [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Superuser superuser or with root access].
To control any Linux-based system, you need root access to it (Administrator privileges in Windows). Depending on the type of TV and version of the firmware, this can be achieved in a number of ways. In the compatibility tables you can find the methods that have been used successfully for each type (The list is not complete yet, work in progress).
Depending on the firmware and television model you may be able to do this with a simple software installation from a USB drive or you may need to install modified firmware or may need to revert to an older version of firmware that has not been restricted by Samsung.
You can gain access to your televisions operating in several ways.Consult the compatibility table at the bottom of this page to determine which method you can use:

#'''USB''': Loading software from the USB port by flash drive. Restricted firmware has disallowed access to the built in functionality. This is also how modified firmware is flashed. A variation of this method of accessing your television is hotel@USB which is required for newer television models like the C series.
#'''Telnet''': For models with ethernet connectivity it is possible to gain telnet access via your computer network. Non ethernet models may also become network accessible by using a usb wi-fi dongle. This required that you have already obtained root acess and your your television has been modified to allow network access (less common way).
#'''Ex-link Port''' An Ex-link port or service port which allows direct connection from your computer to the television. Many TV models (A and B series) are accessible through a serial port, called Ex-link. This is a serial port, with a 3.5mm stereo jack as a connector port that is called "connector for service only" in your television manual. To use this port, you will need a serial cable with the right layout, which is given [[Enable_Serial_Console_on_non_CI%2B_Devices|'''here'''.]] On the same page you will find how to enter the service menu of your TV, at least for a number of older types of televisions. Newer models (like C series televisions) do not have this access mode. It would be wise to make or buy such a cable prior to changing your firmware in the event of a catastrophic event that requires this connection to recover your television functionality(unbrick your TV).

=Understanding SamyGO app vs. SamyGO firmware modification=

Many developers contribute to the SamyGO community and the goal of each application they develop is to enhance the functionality of your television. Applications can be typically be used in two ways:

# Standalone app aka as a SamyGO app or extension
# Incorporation of the application function into the TV firmware

The first method does not require any firmware modifications unless you have restricted firmware. In that case you must first unrestrict your television's firmware before running a SamyGO app. You gain the functionality you want by running the app. For example if you like big yellow subtitles on your TV you can activate the app then watch your movie with big yellow subtitles.

The second method involves advanced scripting modifications to your television firmware. Ingenious developers have developed some scripts that makes this process fairly simple and easy. Other scripts require careful editing of files inside your computer and should be performed with caution. Bricking your TV is a possibility with the method. It would be wise to have an exlink cable so you can unbrick your television.

So what's the difference between the two methods? You must activate the app each time your turn on your TV if you use a SamyGO app . A firmware modification is permanent and automatic, each time you turn on your TV. It may be harder to do but in the long run it saves you a lot of time.

=Firmware Modifications=
==Reverting back to unrestricted firmware==
Loading third party software has been limited with the latest versions of restricted firmware. If you are in the lucky group of television owners with unrestricted firmware then you can skip this section, you are in luck and can stop worrying about firmware restrictions! If your are in the unlucky group of restricted firmware (usually any firmware after dated updated in 2010) then you must revert back to an unrestricted firmware first prior running any SamyGO applications on your TV. Developers at SamyGO have made this a fairly simple process by using a script that automates this process. A list of supported television models and detailed instructions can be [[Forced_revert_back_to_older_firmware| found here]]. Please review all this in detail prior to proceeding with any modifications or running any scripts.

==Patching Firmware with the SamyGO Firmware Patcher==
B-series models (Non CI+) with older firmwares (pre february 2010) have firmware update files which are only trivially encrypted by Samsung and can be modified to allow additional functionality.The [[SamyGO_Firmware_Patcher| SamyGO firmware patch script]] is based on python a computer programming language and changes some of the startup scripts inside of the firmware. This allows additional functionality in the firmware.
Such functionality includes
# Applies the [[Video_AR_Fix|AR v1 Fix]]. This properly resizes the picture proportions n Samsung B series TVs
# Allows you to increase the size of srt subtitles shown in movie playback and
# Subtitle color can change as well. SamyGO favorite is yellow, (ARGB code for yellow is: 0xFFFFFF00, for original color: 0xFFF0F0F0)
# Telnet, advanced or patch.

Once the script completes you will have a new modified firmware with the aforementioned modifications. Once you flash this modified software to your television, you will enjoy the above enhancements but will also be able to run additional software which will enhance your television's functionality even further. This modified firmware makes it much easier to gain root access through [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Telnet telnet].

==Flashing your modified firmware==
This is outlined in your service manual.
#Make sure your firmware is copied to the root of your FAT32 formatted USB drive.
#You can reach the software upgrade menu from your remote control: Menu->Help->Software Upgrade->USB
#You get a pause for 30 secs while your TV searches for a valid firmware.
#Install your modified firmware.
#Remember altering your firmware and trying to install it carried risk of permanent damage. Please read the wiki and become acquainted with what you are trying to do.

If you are more adventurous and feel confident enough you can also update the firmware by direct access by using the exlink cable. Read about this: [[Enable_Serial_Console_on_non_CI%2B_Devices]].

=Using a SamyGO app=

If you have flashed the modified firmware or if you have an unrestricted firmware you can start playing and enjoying the [[Content_Library_applications_list|SamyGO applications]].
There is a [[Content_Library_applications_list|wiki page]] where a list of apps can be found. This page typically has a brief description of the app functionality, a link to download the file as well as a link to the forum where the develop seeks, feedback, can help with troubleshooting etc. Newer television models have

To run an app you should extract it directly to the root of your FAT32 formatted flash drive. Common extraction programs are winzip or winrar. Then you plug your flash drive into your TV USB port. If your TV is turned on a popup will appear that will prompt you to select: Media play, content library or software upgrade. Select Content Library.
In the content library menu select USB (left hand side) and move your highlighter to the games and/or children. You should see a list of the apps on your flash drive.

You have two options here. You can run the app from the flash drive or you can copy the app to the television internal memory. To run an app highlight it, hit enter on your remote and then play. If you don't get an error message then your app should be running.
Some apps run into problems if your USB flash drive is not fast enough to convey data. Preferably these are the apps you want to install, i.e. copy on your TV internal memory.

A good app to start with is the SamyGO Extensions pack. Read about it [[SamyGO_Extensions_Pack|here]].

=Using Internet@TV =

Internet@TV is the name Samsung has given to their latest television appliances which converge the internet and televisions in once device. They are a collection of Samsung apps which due to their graphical user interface are called widgets. Samsung, in its short-sightedness decided that some of the newer widgets would not be made available to older television model owners. However these older televisions (B-series) can actually run the new widgets included in the C-series. You can install widgets your own widgets by setting up a webserver on your home computer and directing your television to obtain the updated from your computer.

=Compatibility table (just for evaluation purposes)=
Below is a first draft of a new version of a comprehensive compatibility table for SamyGO. It is here for evaluation purposes, please feel free to comment on it in the forum. Since this is a still a draft, not all links are there yet, or working. Also probably not all models have been put in yet, and the ones that are there have not yet been completed, I'm still working on it (especially finding the links into the forum pages is a tough job).

The main changes are:

removal of the display type (I think you know what you bought)

Indication of access routes with letters.

combination of a whole bunch of options into a few columns

Oh, and never mind the thin blank lines in the table, they're just empty table entries.

Note: The SamyGO project is compatible with most of the other LN, LA, UN, or UA model TV's. We just haven't tested them yet. No need to get worried about that.

SamyGO for DUMMIES

2011-01-28T22:59:27Z

Rhesus98: Merged system requirements and what do I need to do to enjoy fucntionality for my Tv

I think we have a problem here in SamyGO. Older members tend to know a lot about embedded systems and their operating systems, but some newbies don't seem to know how to execute basic programs...
We thought that every one would know that, because of its relative simplicity. But we are wrong there. Also the Wiki pages are too overwhelming for some newbies.

I think we needed to create a wiki page `SamyGO for DUMMIES" and divert all newbies to that article before starting.
The article might mention about how you could execute programs on a TV or copy them to internal TV memory etc. Easy things, which we don't feel the need to talk a lot about.

So I created this page. Me and others will fill this area later on to show simple processes. Also put pictures about running steps of external applications from TV etc...

=Admin's Message for members to edit this page=
This is page for "dummies".

Please keep this page '''"simple as possible" and "modularized"''', means, do not put information if it's not really required and do not try to explain other article pages, just give a link to that article ( like Samba Mounting, firmware patcher etc...) Here needed to be just elementary information.

Thanks

=What is SamyGO?=
SamyGO started in the summer of 2009 as a thread at avsforum, under the title "Samsung LNXXA650 InfoLink hacking". This thread drew a lot of attention and slowly strayed away from its original topic towards rooting TV's and firmware hacking. It also got quite long, so Erdem U. Altinyurt and a few others decided to start a sourceforge project, specific for enhancement of the firmware of Samsung TV-sets, specifically aimed at models issued from 2008 onwards. Many people stayed on and came along from avsforum to sourceforge.

So that is what SamyGO is: A sourceforge project, aimed at enhancing firmware and functionality, specifically for Samsung TV models from 2008 onwards.

The activities of the SamyGO project comprise, but are not limited to:

#Gaining access to all available Samsung TV models from 2008 onwards (rooting).
#Active development of software extensions to enhance Samsung TV accessibility.
#Active development of applications to run on Samsung TV hardware.
#Giving support to project members who want to enhance their TV's functionality.

SamyGO is not a program that you can "just run" on your TV. Enhancing your hardware is not THAT simple. It requires some beginner and intermediate computer skills. The community will support you and is committed to helping you make this work for you. Remember however, that you need to do your part too. Read and try to understand. If you don't understand, ask in the appropriate forum. Proceed only once you understand what it is you are trying to achieve.

=I want more functionality from my TV. What do I need to do?=

In order to run SamyGO applications you need the following:

#A television that is supported by SamyGo Software. See the [[Compatibility| compatibility list]]. If you cannot find your model listed it '''does not necessarily mean''' that your model is not supported. Ask in the appropriate support forum. Developers are from different countries around the world. They don't have access to every television model on the market to personally test their apps. However, the all these televisions run on linux which makes this project possible.
# Find out which firmware version your TV is equipped with. Newer firmwares are not (yet) supported by SamyGO.
# Checkout the access route for your TV. This is in the supported models list. This is the way you access your television to run samyGO apps. If you're smart you'll also get an ex-link cable and take the necessary precautions (active debug and turn off watchdog in the service menu) to be ready in case of a serious user mistake.
#A USB drive formatted with FAT or FAT32. A rule of thumb is ALWAYS extract the files you are going to use directly to the USB drive. Linux executable have some file attributes that are not preserved if you copy them on NTFS( a windows only) file system.
# Get access! Follow the tutorials in the Wiki pages for that.
# Install the software you like/need.
# Enjoy your improved equipment!!

Each of these steps will be explained in the wiki.

=What is my TV model code and number ?=
[[File:Ue40b7020_model.png|right]]Model code and number are almost the same thing. The model number is a short form of the model code. This is a sample model code with the model number written bold.
'''UE40B7020'''WWXXC
You can read your model code from the sticker at the side or rear of your TV. Once you found the model, you can check whether it is supported by SamyGO [[Compatibility|here for A- and B-series]] and [[Compatibility_Table_for_C_series_TVs| here for C-series models.]]

=What is my firmware model and version ?=
You can learn your firmware number by entering the [[Service Menu]]. Read the detailed wiki page before proceeding with '''GREAT''' caution.

Do not change anything in the service menu until you understand what each setting does. The service menu is like entering the BIOS in a computer. It's where changes can be made to the "brain" that controls television functions. Making the wrong choice in a setting can result in a completely unexpected result and brick your television. To navigate the Service menu ''ONLY'' use the up and down button. Use enter to select and the previous button to return to the previous screen. '''DO NOT USE the RIGHT and LEFT''' buttons of your remote while navigating the service menu unless you know what you are trying to do. Using the left and right navigation butttons may change some variables that may easily brick your TV. If you do make a change to a menu, do not panic. Simply navigate in the opposite direction until the original variable is visible. This is by default the selected option.

To identify your firmware version you only need to enter the main screen of the service menu. You do not need to navigate to other Service menu pages. Identification of your firmware version is important to determine whether your television firmware is supported by SamyGO [[Compatibility|here for A- and B-series]] and here for[[Compatibility_Table_for_C_series_TVs| C-series models.]] You exit the Service menu by turning off the television.

=Is my TV a CI or a CI+ device?=
Samsung has implemented increasing encryption with each series of televsions it releases. Earlier models had no firmware encryption, subsequent firmware releases have [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/XOR_cipher XOR]cipher encryption and the latest firmware releases utilize both AES and XOR encryption. This encryption limits how much editing of a firmware can be done despite the fact that the software Samsung uses is opensource and [http://opensource.samsung.com/ publicly available] per GNU and GPL licensing terms. Knowing the type of firmware utilized is important because it determines what kind of access you can obtain in your television's operating system. There are two types of firmwares based on access, CI and CI+ devices.

A television from the C series is always a CI+ device. B series models have two possibilities: If there is a P in the last part of the model code, it is most likely a CI+ device. The firmware version installed on these TV's has the letters CIP in the firmware version code. Otherwise it is probably a CI device. A series devices do not have encryption.

Some examples:
LE40B652T4'''W'''XXU device uses T-CHL7DEUC firmware, which indicates it is a CI device.
LE40B652T2'''P'''XXU device uses T-CHLCIPDEUC firmware, which indicates it is a CI+ device.
UE40B7020W'''W'''XXC device uses T-CHU7DEUC firmware, which indicates it is a CI device.
'''TODO: Add some UN,UE and PS model "codes" here.'''

You can also find your firmware name and version number in the [[Service Menu]].
This is important to know because there are different software solutions depending on whether your TV is a CI or a CI+ device. Software developers frequently develop two versions of software to support these two types of firmwares. Knowing what kind of TV you have will allow you to select the appropriate SamyGO app.

=What are Restricted Firmwares?=
Restricted Firmwares are original Samsung firmwares which have been released after 01 February 2010. These firmwares have been restricted in many ways by Samsung and have limited how much access one can gain inside their television's operating system. Here in the SamyGO community, we believe this is a deliberate effort to hinder and disable our software development efforts. It is probably also required by the copyright holders of certain parts of the encryption/decryption software for CI+.

Functions that have been removed by the release of these Restricted Firmwares are:
*ExLink Access , that allows us Serial connection to TV's bash line.
*Removal of Top Debug Menu that let us allow to configure every property of TV.
*Removal of u-boot code for that we use to run External firmwares and un-bricking TV.
*Removal of program copy and execution ability from USB disks.
*Removal of Alternative firmware firmware section to avoid reverting older firmwares.
*Additional security enhancements to avoid to flash hacked firmwares.

(*'''TODO: Anything that I forgot?")

If you are interested in applying any of the SamyGO software enhancements to your television's firmware, it's better not to have received any of these firmwares. However, do not despair if you have had your television crippled by these "updates". The ingenuity and hard work of the developers of the SamyGO community have found several work-arounds that will allow you to restore your television to an older firmware that allows SamyGO applications to run. They have also simplified and automated part of this process as much as it is legally possible.

Unfortunately, if you have a restricted firmware, you can't just plug and play. There are several steps that you need to take to gain back "ownership" of your television. Several steps are involved including, copying programs to your TV memory by using an open vulnerabilities such as the "Children Menu" hack or the Nurisam Trojan. This will allow you to move applications to TV and enjoy additional features currently no possible...

=How can I get access to my TV?=
Samsung televisions have an embedded operating system based on linux. When you turn your television on you are essentially operating a computer as a user. You are given limited access to core parts of the operating system by design. If you want more control of what your television you must give it commands to run additional pieces of software with the functionality you desire. To do this you need to obtain access to the television's operating system as a [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Superuser superuser or with root access].
To control any Linux-based system, you need root access to it (Administrator privileges in Windows). Depending on the type of TV and version of the firmware, this can be achieved in a number of ways. In the compatibility tables you can find the methods that have been used successfully for each type (The list is not complete yet, work in progress).
Depending on the firmware and television model you may be able to do this with a simple software installation from a USB drive or you may need to install modified firmware or may need to revert to an older version of firmware that has not been restricted by Samsung.
You can gain access to your televisions operating in several ways.Consult the compatibility table at the bottom of this page to determine which method you can use:

#'''USB''': Loading software from the USB port by flash drive. Restricted firmware has disallowed access to the built in functionality. This is also how modified firmware is flashed. A variation of this method of accessing your television is hotel@USB which is required for newer television models like the C series.
#'''Telnet''': For models with ethernet connectivity it is possible to gain telnet access via your computer network. Non ethernet models may also become network accessible by using a usb wi-fi dongle. This required that you have already obtained root acess and your your television has been modified to allow network access (less common way).
#'''Ex-link Port''' An Ex-link port or service port which allows direct connection from your computer to the television. Many TV models (A and B series) are accessible through a serial port, called Ex-link. This is a serial port, with a 3.5mm stereo jack as a connector port that is called "connector for service only" in your television manual. To use this port, you will need a serial cable with the right layout, which is given [[Enable_Serial_Console_on_non_CI%2B_Devices|'''here'''.]] On the same page you will find how to enter the service menu of your TV, at least for a number of older types of televisions. Newer models (like C series televisions) do not have this access mode. It would be wise to make or buy such a cable prior to changing your firmware in the event of a catastrophic event that requires this connection to recover your television functionality(unbrick your TV).

=Understanding SamyGO app vs. SamyGO firmware modification=

Many developers contribute to the SamyGO community and the goal of each application they develop is to enhance the functionality of your television. Applications can be typically be used in two ways:

# Standalone app aka as a SamyGO app or extension
# Incorporation of the application function into the TV firmware

The first method does not require any firmware modifications unless you have restricted firmware. In that case you must first unrestrict your television's firmware before running a SamyGO app. You gain the functionality you want by running the app. For example if you like big yellow subtitles on your TV you can activate the app then watch your movie with big yellow subtitles.

The second method involves advanced scripting modifications to your television firmware. Ingenious developers have developed some scripts that makes this process fairly simple and easy. Other scripts require careful editing of files inside your computer and should be performed with caution. Bricking your TV is a possibility with the method. It would be wise to have an exlink cable so you can unbrick your television.

So what's the difference between the two methods? You must activate the app each time your turn on your TV if you use a SamyGO app . A firmware modification is permanent and automatic, each time you turn on your TV. It may be harder to do but in the long run it saves you a lot of time.

=Firmware Modifications=
==Reverting back to unrestricted firmware==
Loading third party software has been limited with the latest versions of restricted firmware. If you are in the lucky group of television owners with unrestricted firmware then you can skip this section, you are in luck and can stop worrying about firmware restrictions! If your are in the unlucky group of restricted firmware (usually any firmware after dated updated in 2010) then you must revert back to an unrestricted firmware first prior running any SamyGO applications on your TV. Developers at SamyGO have made this a fairly simple process by using a script that automates this process. A list of supported television models and detailed instructions can be [[Forced_revert_back_to_older_firmware| found here]]. Please review all this in detail prior to proceeding with any modifications or running any scripts.

==Patching Firmware with the SamyGO Firmware Patcher==
B-series models (Non CI+) with older firmwares (pre february 2010) have firmware update files which are only trivially encrypted by Samsung and can be modified to allow additional functionality.The [[SamyGO_Firmware_Patcher| SamyGO firmware patch script]] is based on python a computer programming language and changes some of the startup scripts inside of the firmware. This allows additional functionality in the firmware.
Such functionality includes
# Applies the [[Video_AR_Fix|AR v1 Fix]]. This properly resizes the picture proportions n Samsung B series TVs
# Allows you to increase the size of srt subtitles shown in movie playback and
# Subtitle color can change as well. SamyGO favorite is yellow, (ARGB code for yellow is: 0xFFFFFF00, for original color: 0xFFF0F0F0)
# Telnet, advanced or patch.

Once the script completes you will have a new modified firmware with the aforementioned modifications. Once you flash this modified software to your television, you will enjoy the above enhancements but will also be able to run additional software which will enhance your television's functionality even further. This modified firmware makes it much easier to gain root access through [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Telnet telnet].

==Flashing your modified firmware==
This is outlined in your service manual.
#Make sure your firmware is copied to the root of your FAT32 formatted USB drive.
#You can reach the software upgrade menu from your remote control: Menu->Help->Software Upgrade->USB
#You get a pause for 30 secs while your TV searches for a valid firmware.
#Install your modified firmware.
#Remember altering your firmware and trying to install it carried risk of permanent damage. Please read the wiki and become acquainted with what you are trying to do.

If you are more adventurous and feel confident enough you can also update the firmware by direct access by using the exlink cable. Read about this: [[Enable_Serial_Console_on_non_CI%2B_Devices]].

=Using a SamyGO app=

If you have flashed the modified firmware or if you have an unrestricted firmware you can start playing and enjoying the [[Content_Library_applications_list|SamyGO applications]].
There is a [[Content_Library_applications_list|wiki page]] where a list of apps can be found. This page typically has a brief description of the app functionality, a link to download the file as well as a link to the forum where the develop seeks, feedback, can help with troubleshooting etc. Newer television models have

To run an app you should extract it directly to the root of your FAT32 formatted flash drive. Common extraction programs are winzip or winrar. Then you plug your flash drive into your TV USB port. If your TV is turned on a popup will appear that will prompt you to select: Media play, content library or software upgrade. Select Content Library.
In the content library menu select USB (left hand side) and move your highlighter to the games and/or children. You should see a list of the apps on your flash drive.

You have two options here. You can run the app from the flash drive or you can copy the app to the television internal memory. To run an app highlight it, hit enter on your remote and then play. If you don't get an error message then your app should be running.
Some apps run into problems if your USB flash drive is not fast enough to convey data. Preferably these are the apps you want to install, i.e. copy on your TV internal memory.

A good app to start with is the SamyGO Extensions pack. Read about it [[SamyGO_Extensions_Pack|here]].

=Using Internet@TV =

Internet@TV is the name Samsung has given to their latest television appliances which converge the internet and televisions in once device. They are a collection of Samsung apps which due to their graphical user interface are called widgets. Samsung, in its short-sightedness decided that some of the newer widgets would not be made available to older television model owners. However these older televisions (B-series) can actually run the new widgets included in the C-series. You can install widgets your own widgets by setting up a webserver on your home computer and directing your television to obtain the updated from your computer.

=Using Hotel@USB =
'''TODO'''


=Compatibility table (just for evaluation purposes)=
Below is a first draft of a new version of a comprehensive compatibility table for SamyGO. It is here for evaluation purposes, please feel free to comment on it in the forum. Since this is a still a draft, not all links are there yet, or working. Also probably not all models have been put in yet, and the ones that are there have not yet been completed, I'm still working on it (especially finding the links into the forum pages is a tough job).

The main changes are:

removal of the display type (I think you know what you bought)

Indication of access routes with letters.

combination of a whole bunch of options into a few columns

Oh, and never mind the thin blank lines in the table, they're just empty table entries.

Note: The SamyGO project is compatible with most of the other LN, LA, UN, or UA model TV's. We just haven't tested them yet. No need to get worried about that.

SamyGO for DUMMIES

2011-01-28T22:48:34Z

Rhesus98: /* SamyGO System Requirements */ move this to entry what do I need to do. some duplicate points

I think we have a problem here in SamyGO. Older members tend to know a lot about embedded systems and their operating systems, but some newbies don't seem to know how to execute basic programs...
We thought that every one would know that, because of its relative simplicity. But we are wrong there. Also the Wiki pages are too overwhelming for some newbies.

I think we needed to create a wiki page `SamyGO for DUMMIES" and divert all newbies to that article before starting.
The article might mention about how you could execute programs on a TV or copy them to internal TV memory etc. Easy things, which we don't feel the need to talk a lot about.

So I created this page. Me and others will fill this area later on to show simple processes. Also put pictures about running steps of external applications from TV etc...

=Admin's Message for members to edit this page=
This is page for "dummies".

Please keep this page '''"simple as possible" and "modularized"''', means, do not put information if it's not really required and do not try to explain other article pages, just give a link to that article ( like Samba Mounting, firmware patcher etc...) Here needed to be just elementary information.

Thanks

=What is SamyGO?=
SamyGO started in the summer of 2009 as a thread at avsforum, under the title "Samsung LNXXA650 InfoLink hacking". This thread drew a lot of attention and slowly strayed away from its original topic towards rooting TV's and firmware hacking. It also got quite long, so Erdem U. Altinyurt and a few others decided to start a sourceforge project, specific for enhancement of the firmware of Samsung TV-sets, specifically aimed at models issued from 2008 onwards. Many people stayed on and came along from avsforum to sourceforge.

So that is what SamyGO is: A sourceforge project, aimed at enhancing firmware and functionality, specifically for Samsung TV models from 2008 onwards.

The activities of the SamyGO project comprise, but are not limited to:

#Gaining access to all available Samsung TV models from 2008 onwards (rooting).
#Active development of software extensions to enhance Samsung TV accessibility.
#Active development of applications to run on Samsung TV hardware.
#Giving support to project members who want to enhance their TV's functionality.

SamyGO is not a program that you can "just run" on your TV. Enhancing your hardware is not THAT simple. It requires some beginner and intermediate computer skills. The community will support you and is committed to helping you make this work for you. Remember however, that you need to do your part too. Read and try to understand. If you don't understand, ask in the appropriate forum. Proceed only once you understand what it is you are trying to achieve.

=I want more functionality from my TV. What do I need to do?=

# Find out whether your TV model is supported by SamyGO. See the supported models list at our homepage for that.
# Find out which firmware version your TV is equipped with. Newer firmwares are not (yet) supported by SamyGO. See also the supported models list.
# Checkout the access route for your TV, again, this is in the supported models list.
# Get access! Follow the tutorials in the Wiki pages for that.
# Install the software you like/need.
# Enjoy your improved equipment.

Each of these steps will be explained briefly.

=What is my TV model code and number ?=
[[File:Ue40b7020_model.png|right]]Model code and number are almost the same thing. The model number is a short form of the model code. This is a sample model code with the model number written bold.
'''UE40B7020'''WWXXC
You can read your model code from the sticker at the side or rear of your TV. Once you found the model, you can check whether it is supported by SamyGO [[Compatibility|here for A- and B-series]] and [[Compatibility_Table_for_C_series_TVs| here for C-series models.]]

=What is my firmware model and version ?=
You can learn your firmware number by entering the [[Service Menu]]. Read the detailed wiki page before proceeding with '''GREAT''' caution.

Do not change anything in the service menu until you understand what each setting does. The service menu is like entering the BIOS in a computer. It's where changes can be made to the "brain" that controls television functions. Making the wrong choice in a setting can result in a completely unexpected result and brick your television. To navigate the Service menu ''ONLY'' use the up and down button. Use enter to select and the previous button to return to the previous screen. '''DO NOT USE the RIGHT and LEFT''' buttons of your remote while navigating the service menu unless you know what you are trying to do. Using the left and right navigation butttons may change some variables that may easily brick your TV. If you do make a change to a menu, do not panic. Simply navigate in the opposite direction until the original variable is visible. This is by default the selected option.

To identify your firmware version you only need to enter the main screen of the service menu. You do not need to navigate to other Service menu pages. Identification of your firmware version is important to determine whether your television firmware is supported by SamyGO [[Compatibility|here for A- and B-series]] and here for[[Compatibility_Table_for_C_series_TVs| C-series models.]] You exit the Service menu by turning off the television.

=Is my TV a CI or a CI+ device?=
Samsung has implemented increasing encryption with each series of televsions it releases. Earlier models had no firmware encryption, subsequent firmware releases have [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/XOR_cipher XOR]cipher encryption and the latest firmware releases utilize both AES and XOR encryption. This encryption limits how much editing of a firmware can be done despite the fact that the software Samsung uses is opensource and [http://opensource.samsung.com/ publicly available] per GNU and GPL licensing terms. Knowing the type of firmware utilized is important because it determines what kind of access you can obtain in your television's operating system. There are two types of firmwares based on access, CI and CI+ devices.

A television from the C series is always a CI+ device. B series models have two possibilities: If there is a P in the last part of the model code, it is most likely a CI+ device. The firmware version installed on these TV's has the letters CIP in the firmware version code. Otherwise it is probably a CI device. A series devices do not have encryption.

Some examples:
LE40B652T4'''W'''XXU device uses T-CHL7DEUC firmware, which indicates it is a CI device.
LE40B652T2'''P'''XXU device uses T-CHLCIPDEUC firmware, which indicates it is a CI+ device.
UE40B7020W'''W'''XXC device uses T-CHU7DEUC firmware, which indicates it is a CI device.
'''TODO: Add some UN,UE and PS model "codes" here.'''

You can also find your firmware name and version number in the [[Service Menu]].
This is important to know because there are different software solutions depending on whether your TV is a CI or a CI+ device. Software developers frequently develop two versions of software to support these two types of firmwares. Knowing what kind of TV you have will allow you to select the appropriate SamyGO app.

=What are Restricted Firmwares?=
Restricted Firmwares are original Samsung firmwares which have been released after 01 February 2010. These firmwares have been restricted in many ways by Samsung and have limited how much access one can gain inside their television's operating system. Here in the SamyGO community, we believe this is a deliberate effort to hinder and disable our software development efforts. It is probably also required by the copyright holders of certain parts of the encryption/decryption software for CI+.

Functions that have been removed by the release of these Restricted Firmwares are:
*ExLink Access , that allows us Serial connection to TV's bash line.
*Removal of Top Debug Menu that let us allow to configure every property of TV.
*Removal of u-boot code for that we use to run External firmwares and un-bricking TV.
*Removal of program copy and execution ability from USB disks.
*Removal of Alternative firmware firmware section to avoid reverting older firmwares.
*Additional security enhancements to avoid to flash hacked firmwares.

(*'''TODO: Anything that I forgot?")

If you are interested in applying any of the SamyGO software enhancements to your television's firmware, it's better not to have received any of these firmwares. However, do not despair if you have had your television crippled by these "updates". The ingenuity and hard work of the developers of the SamyGO community have found several work-arounds that will allow you to restore your television to an older firmware that allows SamyGO applications to run. They have also simplified and automated part of this process as much as it is legally possible.

Unfortunately, if you have a restricted firmware, you can't just plug and play. There are several steps that you need to take to gain back "ownership" of your television. Several steps are involved including, copying programs to your TV memory by using an open vulnerabilities such as the "Children Menu" hack or the Nurisam Trojan. This will allow you to move applications to TV and enjoy additional features currently no possible...

=How can I get access to my TV?=
Samsung televisions have an embedded operating system based on linux. When you turn your television on you are essentially operating a computer as a user. You are given limited access to core parts of the operating system by design. If you want more control of what your television you must give it commands to run additional pieces of software with the functionality you desire. To do this you need to obtain access to the television's operating system as a [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Superuser superuser or with root access].
To control any Linux-based system, you need root access to it (Administrator privileges in Windows). Depending on the type of TV and version of the firmware, this can be achieved in a number of ways. In the compatibility tables you can find the methods that have been used successfully for each type (The list is not complete yet, work in progress).
Depending on the firmware and television model you may be able to do this with a simple software installation from a USB drive or you may need to install modified firmware or may need to revert to an older version of firmware that has not been restricted by Samsung.
You can gain access to your televisions operating in several ways.Consult the compatibility table at the bottom of this page to determine which method you can use:

#'''USB''': Loading software from the USB port by flash drive. Restricted firmware has disallowed access to the built in functionality. This is also how modified firmware is flashed. A variation of this method of accessing your television is hotel@USB which is required for newer television models like the C series.
#'''Telnet''': For models with ethernet connectivity it is possible to gain telnet access via your computer network. Non ethernet models may also become network accessible by using a usb wi-fi dongle. This required that you have already obtained root acess and your your television has been modified to allow network access (less common way).
#'''Ex-link Port''' An Ex-link port or service port which allows direct connection from your computer to the television. Many TV models (A and B series) are accessible through a serial port, called Ex-link. This is a serial port, with a 3.5mm stereo jack as a connector port that is called "connector for service only" in your television manual. To use this port, you will need a serial cable with the right layout, which is given [[Enable_Serial_Console_on_non_CI%2B_Devices|'''here'''.]] On the same page you will find how to enter the service menu of your TV, at least for a number of older types of televisions. Newer models (like C series televisions) do not have this access mode. It would be wise to make or buy such a cable prior to changing your firmware in the event of a catastrophic event that requires this connection to recover your television functionality(unbrick your TV).

=Understanding SamyGO app vs. SamyGO firmware modification=

Many developers contribute to the SamyGO community and the goal of each application they develop is to enhance the functionality of your television. Applications can be typically be used in two ways:

# Standalone app aka as a SamyGO app or extension
# Incorporation of the application function into the TV firmware

The first method does not require any firmware modifications unless you have restricted firmware. In that case you must first unrestrict your television's firmware before running a SamyGO app. You gain the functionality you want by running the app. For example if you like big yellow subtitles on your TV you can activate the app then watch your movie with big yellow subtitles.

The second method involves advanced scripting modifications to your television firmware. Ingenious developers have developed some scripts that makes this process fairly simple and easy. Other scripts require careful editing of files inside your computer and should be performed with caution. Bricking your TV is a possibility with the method. It would be wise to have an exlink cable so you can unbrick your television.

So what's the difference between the two methods? You must activate the app each time your turn on your TV if you use a SamyGO app . A firmware modification is permanent and automatic, each time you turn on your TV. It may be harder to do but in the long run it saves you a lot of time.

=Firmware Modifications=
==Reverting back to unrestricted firmware==
Loading third party software has been limited with the latest versions of restricted firmware. If you are in the lucky group of television owners with unrestricted firmware then you can skip this section, you are in luck and can stop worrying about firmware restrictions! If your are in the unlucky group of restricted firmware (usually any firmware after dated updated in 2010) then you must revert back to an unrestricted firmware first prior running any SamyGO applications on your TV. Developers at SamyGO have made this a fairly simple process by using a script that automates this process. A list of supported television models and detailed instructions can be [[Forced_revert_back_to_older_firmware| found here]]. Please review all this in detail prior to proceeding with any modifications or running any scripts.

==Patching Firmware with the SamyGO Firmware Patcher==
B-series models (Non CI+) with older firmwares (pre february 2010) have firmware update files which are only trivially encrypted by Samsung and can be modified to allow additional functionality.The [[SamyGO_Firmware_Patcher| SamyGO firmware patch script]] is based on python a computer programming language and changes some of the startup scripts inside of the firmware. This allows additional functionality in the firmware.
Such functionality includes
# Applies the [[Video_AR_Fix|AR v1 Fix]]. This properly resizes the picture proportions n Samsung B series TVs
# Allows you to increase the size of srt subtitles shown in movie playback and
# Subtitle color can change as well. SamyGO favorite is yellow, (ARGB code for yellow is: 0xFFFFFF00, for original color: 0xFFF0F0F0)
# Telnet, advanced or patch.

Once the script completes you will have a new modified firmware with the aforementioned modifications. Once you flash this modified software to your television, you will enjoy the above enhancements but will also be able to run additional software which will enhance your television's functionality even further. This modified firmware makes it much easier to gain root access through [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Telnet telnet].

==Flashing your modified firmware==
This is outlined in your service manual.
#Make sure your firmware is copied to the root of your FAT32 formatted USB drive.
#You can reach the software upgrade menu from your remote control: Menu->Help->Software Upgrade->USB
#You get a pause for 30 secs while your TV searches for a valid firmware.
#Install your modified firmware.
#Remember altering your firmware and trying to install it carried risk of permanent damage. Please read the wiki and become acquainted with what you are trying to do.

If you are more adventurous and feel confident enough you can also update the firmware by direct access by using the exlink cable. Read about this: [[Enable_Serial_Console_on_non_CI%2B_Devices]].

=Using a SamyGO app=

If you have flashed the modified firmware or if you have an unrestricted firmware you can start playing and enjoying the [[Content_Library_applications_list|SamyGO applications]].
There is a [[Content_Library_applications_list|wiki page]] where a list of apps can be found. This page typically has a brief description of the app functionality, a link to download the file as well as a link to the forum where the develop seeks, feedback, can help with troubleshooting etc. Newer television models have

To run an app you should extract it directly to the root of your FAT32 formatted flash drive. Common extraction programs are winzip or winrar. Then you plug your flash drive into your TV USB port. If your TV is turned on a popup will appear that will prompt you to select: Media play, content library or software upgrade. Select Content Library.
In the content library menu select USB (left hand side) and move your highlighter to the games and/or children. You should see a list of the apps on your flash drive.

You have two options here. You can run the app from the flash drive or you can copy the app to the television internal memory. To run an app highlight it, hit enter on your remote and then play. If you don't get an error message then your app should be running.
Some apps run into problems if your USB flash drive is not fast enough to convey data. Preferably these are the apps you want to install, i.e. copy on your TV internal memory.

A good app to start with is the SamyGO Extensions pack. Read about it [[SamyGO_Extensions_Pack|here]].

=Using Internet@TV =

Internet@TV is the name Samsung has given to their latest television appliances which converge the internet and televisions in once device. They are a collection of Samsung apps which due to their graphical user interface are called widgets. Samsung, in its short-sightedness decided that some of the newer widgets would not be made available to older television model owners. However these older televisions (B-series) can actually run the new widgets included in the C-series. You can install widgets your own widgets by setting up a webserver on your home computer and directing your television to obtain the updated from your computer.

You may want to try out one of member's website who has pics and links to files to download [http://translate.google.com/translate?hl=us&sl=pl&tl=en&u=http://moras86.ugu.pl/samsung/faq/%23Internet_widgets step by step instructions].

=Compatibility table (just for evaluation purposes)=
Below is a first draft of a new version of a comprehensive compatibility table for SamyGO. It is here for evaluation purposes, please feel free to comment on it in the forum. Since this is a still a draft, not all links are there yet, or working. Also probably not all models have been put in yet, and the ones that are there have not yet been completed, I'm still working on it (especially finding the links into the forum pages is a tough job).

The main changes are:

removal of the display type (I think you know what you bought)

Indication of access routes with letters.

combination of a whole bunch of options into a few columns

Oh, and never mind the thin blank lines in the table, they're just empty table entries.

Note: The SamyGO project is compatible with most of the other LN, LA, UN, or UA model TV's. We just haven't tested them yet. No need to get worried about that.

SamyGO for DUMMIES

2011-01-28T22:46:50Z

Rhesus98: /* Using Internet@TV */ minor edits

I think we have a problem here in SamyGO. Older members tend to know a lot about embedded systems and their operating systems, but some newbies don't seem to know how to execute basic programs...
We thought that every one would know that, because of its relative simplicity. But we are wrong there. Also the Wiki pages are too overwhelming for some newbies.

I think we needed to create a wiki page `SamyGO for DUMMIES" and divert all newbies to that article before starting.
The article might mention about how you could execute programs on a TV or copy them to internal TV memory etc. Easy things, which we don't feel the need to talk a lot about.

So I created this page. Me and others will fill this area later on to show simple processes. Also put pictures about running steps of external applications from TV etc...

=Admin's Message for members to edit this page=
This is page for "dummies".

Please keep this page '''"simple as possible" and "modularized"''', means, do not put information if it's not really required and do not try to explain other article pages, just give a link to that article ( like Samba Mounting, firmware patcher etc...) Here needed to be just elementary information.

Thanks

=What is SamyGO?=
SamyGO started in the summer of 2009 as a thread at avsforum, under the title "Samsung LNXXA650 InfoLink hacking". This thread drew a lot of attention and slowly strayed away from its original topic towards rooting TV's and firmware hacking. It also got quite long, so Erdem U. Altinyurt and a few others decided to start a sourceforge project, specific for enhancement of the firmware of Samsung TV-sets, specifically aimed at models issued from 2008 onwards. Many people stayed on and came along from avsforum to sourceforge.

So that is what SamyGO is: A sourceforge project, aimed at enhancing firmware and functionality, specifically for Samsung TV models from 2008 onwards.

The activities of the SamyGO project comprise, but are not limited to:

#Gaining access to all available Samsung TV models from 2008 onwards (rooting).
#Active development of software extensions to enhance Samsung TV accessibility.
#Active development of applications to run on Samsung TV hardware.
#Giving support to project members who want to enhance their TV's functionality.

SamyGO is not a program that you can "just run" on your TV. Enhancing your hardware is not THAT simple. It requires some beginner and intermediate computer skills. The community will support you and is committed to helping you make this work for you. Remember however, that you need to do your part too. Read and try to understand. If you don't understand, ask in the appropriate forum. Proceed only once you understand what it is you are trying to achieve.

=I want more functionality from my TV. What do I need to do?=

# Find out whether your TV model is supported by SamyGO. See the supported models list at our homepage for that.
# Find out which firmware version your TV is equipped with. Newer firmwares are not (yet) supported by SamyGO. See also the supported models list.
# Checkout the access route for your TV, again, this is in the supported models list.
# Get access! Follow the tutorials in the Wiki pages for that.
# Install the software you like/need.
# Enjoy your improved equipment.

Each of these steps will be explained briefly.

=What is my TV model code and number ?=
[[File:Ue40b7020_model.png|right]]Model code and number are almost the same thing. The model number is a short form of the model code. This is a sample model code with the model number written bold.
'''UE40B7020'''WWXXC
You can read your model code from the sticker at the side or rear of your TV. Once you found the model, you can check whether it is supported by SamyGO [[Compatibility|here for A- and B-series]] and [[Compatibility_Table_for_C_series_TVs| here for C-series models.]]

=What is my firmware model and version ?=
You can learn your firmware number by entering the [[Service Menu]]. Read the detailed wiki page before proceeding with '''GREAT''' caution.

Do not change anything in the service menu until you understand what each setting does. The service menu is like entering the BIOS in a computer. It's where changes can be made to the "brain" that controls television functions. Making the wrong choice in a setting can result in a completely unexpected result and brick your television. To navigate the Service menu ''ONLY'' use the up and down button. Use enter to select and the previous button to return to the previous screen. '''DO NOT USE the RIGHT and LEFT''' buttons of your remote while navigating the service menu unless you know what you are trying to do. Using the left and right navigation butttons may change some variables that may easily brick your TV. If you do make a change to a menu, do not panic. Simply navigate in the opposite direction until the original variable is visible. This is by default the selected option.

To identify your firmware version you only need to enter the main screen of the service menu. You do not need to navigate to other Service menu pages. Identification of your firmware version is important to determine whether your television firmware is supported by SamyGO [[Compatibility|here for A- and B-series]] and here for[[Compatibility_Table_for_C_series_TVs| C-series models.]] You exit the Service menu by turning off the television.

=Is my TV a CI or a CI+ device?=
Samsung has implemented increasing encryption with each series of televsions it releases. Earlier models had no firmware encryption, subsequent firmware releases have [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/XOR_cipher XOR]cipher encryption and the latest firmware releases utilize both AES and XOR encryption. This encryption limits how much editing of a firmware can be done despite the fact that the software Samsung uses is opensource and [http://opensource.samsung.com/ publicly available] per GNU and GPL licensing terms. Knowing the type of firmware utilized is important because it determines what kind of access you can obtain in your television's operating system. There are two types of firmwares based on access, CI and CI+ devices.

A television from the C series is always a CI+ device. B series models have two possibilities: If there is a P in the last part of the model code, it is most likely a CI+ device. The firmware version installed on these TV's has the letters CIP in the firmware version code. Otherwise it is probably a CI device. A series devices do not have encryption.

Some examples:
LE40B652T4'''W'''XXU device uses T-CHL7DEUC firmware, which indicates it is a CI device.
LE40B652T2'''P'''XXU device uses T-CHLCIPDEUC firmware, which indicates it is a CI+ device.
UE40B7020W'''W'''XXC device uses T-CHU7DEUC firmware, which indicates it is a CI device.
'''TODO: Add some UN,UE and PS model "codes" here.'''

You can also find your firmware name and version number in the [[Service Menu]].
This is important to know because there are different software solutions depending on whether your TV is a CI or a CI+ device. Software developers frequently develop two versions of software to support these two types of firmwares. Knowing what kind of TV you have will allow you to select the appropriate SamyGO app.

=What are Restricted Firmwares?=
Restricted Firmwares are original Samsung firmwares which have been released after 01 February 2010. These firmwares have been restricted in many ways by Samsung and have limited how much access one can gain inside their television's operating system. Here in the SamyGO community, we believe this is a deliberate effort to hinder and disable our software development efforts. It is probably also required by the copyright holders of certain parts of the encryption/decryption software for CI+.

Functions that have been removed by the release of these Restricted Firmwares are:
*ExLink Access , that allows us Serial connection to TV's bash line.
*Removal of Top Debug Menu that let us allow to configure every property of TV.
*Removal of u-boot code for that we use to run External firmwares and un-bricking TV.
*Removal of program copy and execution ability from USB disks.
*Removal of Alternative firmware firmware section to avoid reverting older firmwares.
*Additional security enhancements to avoid to flash hacked firmwares.

(*'''TODO: Anything that I forgot?")

If you are interested in applying any of the SamyGO software enhancements to your television's firmware, it's better not to have received any of these firmwares. However, do not despair if you have had your television crippled by these "updates". The ingenuity and hard work of the developers of the SamyGO community have found several work-arounds that will allow you to restore your television to an older firmware that allows SamyGO applications to run. They have also simplified and automated part of this process as much as it is legally possible.

Unfortunately, if you have a restricted firmware, you can't just plug and play. There are several steps that you need to take to gain back "ownership" of your television. Several steps are involved including, copying programs to your TV memory by using an open vulnerabilities such as the "Children Menu" hack or the Nurisam Trojan. This will allow you to move applications to TV and enjoy additional features currently no possible...

=How can I get access to my TV?=
Samsung televisions have an embedded operating system based on linux. When you turn your television on you are essentially operating a computer as a user. You are given limited access to core parts of the operating system by design. If you want more control of what your television you must give it commands to run additional pieces of software with the functionality you desire. To do this you need to obtain access to the television's operating system as a [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Superuser superuser or with root access].
To control any Linux-based system, you need root access to it (Administrator privileges in Windows). Depending on the type of TV and version of the firmware, this can be achieved in a number of ways. In the compatibility tables you can find the methods that have been used successfully for each type (The list is not complete yet, work in progress).
Depending on the firmware and television model you may be able to do this with a simple software installation from a USB drive or you may need to install modified firmware or may need to revert to an older version of firmware that has not been restricted by Samsung.
You can gain access to your televisions operating in several ways.Consult the compatibility table at the bottom of this page to determine which method you can use:

#'''USB''': Loading software from the USB port by flash drive. Restricted firmware has disallowed access to the built in functionality. This is also how modified firmware is flashed. A variation of this method of accessing your television is hotel@USB which is required for newer television models like the C series.
#'''Telnet''': For models with ethernet connectivity it is possible to gain telnet access via your computer network. Non ethernet models may also become network accessible by using a usb wi-fi dongle. This required that you have already obtained root acess and your your television has been modified to allow network access (less common way).
#'''Ex-link Port''' An Ex-link port or service port which allows direct connection from your computer to the television. Many TV models (A and B series) are accessible through a serial port, called Ex-link. This is a serial port, with a 3.5mm stereo jack as a connector port that is called "connector for service only" in your television manual. To use this port, you will need a serial cable with the right layout, which is given [[Enable_Serial_Console_on_non_CI%2B_Devices|'''here'''.]] On the same page you will find how to enter the service menu of your TV, at least for a number of older types of televisions. Newer models (like C series televisions) do not have this access mode. It would be wise to make or buy such a cable prior to changing your firmware in the event of a catastrophic event that requires this connection to recover your television functionality(unbrick your TV).

=SamyGO System Requirements=
#A television that is supported by SamyGo Software. See the [[Compatibility| compatibility list]] (Absence of your model '''does not mean''' that your model is absolutely not supported.)
#Your television must have a firmware software that is [[Is_my_TV_supported%3F|unrestricted]]. If your television is restricted, there a few steps that are required to unrestrict your television prior to using SamyGO apps.
#A computer with internet connection to download the required files.
#A little bit of courage and nerve to follow through the entire process.
#A USB drive formatted with FAT32. Note for windows users: DO '''NOT''' extract the files contained in the zip and rar files you download to an NTFS partition and then to your flash drive. Certain file attributes that are necessary for linux executable files and scripts are lost. A rule of thumb is ALWAYS extract the files you are going to use directly to the USB drive.
#If you're smart you'll also get a ex-link cable and take the previously stated necessary precautions (active debug and turn off watchdog in the service menu) to be ready in case the television gets bricked.

=Understanding SamyGO app vs. SamyGO firmware modification=

Many developers contribute to the SamyGO community and the goal of each application they develop is to enhance the functionality of your television. Applications can be typically be used in two ways:

# Standalone app aka as a SamyGO app or extension
# Incorporation of the application function into the TV firmware

The first method does not require any firmware modifications unless you have restricted firmware. In that case you must first unrestrict your television's firmware before running a SamyGO app. You gain the functionality you want by running the app. For example if you like big yellow subtitles on your TV you can activate the app then watch your movie with big yellow subtitles.

The second method involves advanced scripting modifications to your television firmware. Ingenious developers have developed some scripts that makes this process fairly simple and easy. Other scripts require careful editing of files inside your computer and should be performed with caution. Bricking your TV is a possibility with the method. It would be wise to have an exlink cable so you can unbrick your television.

So what's the difference between the two methods? You must activate the app each time your turn on your TV if you use a SamyGO app . A firmware modification is permanent and automatic, each time you turn on your TV. It may be harder to do but in the long run it saves you a lot of time.

=Firmware Modifications=
==Reverting back to unrestricted firmware==
Loading third party software has been limited with the latest versions of restricted firmware. If you are in the lucky group of television owners with unrestricted firmware then you can skip this section, you are in luck and can stop worrying about firmware restrictions! If your are in the unlucky group of restricted firmware (usually any firmware after dated updated in 2010) then you must revert back to an unrestricted firmware first prior running any SamyGO applications on your TV. Developers at SamyGO have made this a fairly simple process by using a script that automates this process. A list of supported television models and detailed instructions can be [[Forced_revert_back_to_older_firmware| found here]]. Please review all this in detail prior to proceeding with any modifications or running any scripts.

==Patching Firmware with the SamyGO Firmware Patcher==
B-series models (Non CI+) with older firmwares (pre february 2010) have firmware update files which are only trivially encrypted by Samsung and can be modified to allow additional functionality.The [[SamyGO_Firmware_Patcher| SamyGO firmware patch script]] is based on python a computer programming language and changes some of the startup scripts inside of the firmware. This allows additional functionality in the firmware.
Such functionality includes
# Applies the [[Video_AR_Fix|AR v1 Fix]]. This properly resizes the picture proportions n Samsung B series TVs
# Allows you to increase the size of srt subtitles shown in movie playback and
# Subtitle color can change as well. SamyGO favorite is yellow, (ARGB code for yellow is: 0xFFFFFF00, for original color: 0xFFF0F0F0)
# Telnet, advanced or patch.

Once the script completes you will have a new modified firmware with the aforementioned modifications. Once you flash this modified software to your television, you will enjoy the above enhancements but will also be able to run additional software which will enhance your television's functionality even further. This modified firmware makes it much easier to gain root access through [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Telnet telnet].

==Flashing your modified firmware==
This is outlined in your service manual.
#Make sure your firmware is copied to the root of your FAT32 formatted USB drive.
#You can reach the software upgrade menu from your remote control: Menu->Help->Software Upgrade->USB
#You get a pause for 30 secs while your TV searches for a valid firmware.
#Install your modified firmware.
#Remember altering your firmware and trying to install it carried risk of permanent damage. Please read the wiki and become acquainted with what you are trying to do.

If you are more adventurous and feel confident enough you can also update the firmware by direct access by using the exlink cable. Read about this: [[Enable_Serial_Console_on_non_CI%2B_Devices]].

=Using a SamyGO app=

If you have flashed the modified firmware or if you have an unrestricted firmware you can start playing and enjoying the [[Content_Library_applications_list|SamyGO applications]].
There is a [[Content_Library_applications_list|wiki page]] where a list of apps can be found. This page typically has a brief description of the app functionality, a link to download the file as well as a link to the forum where the develop seeks, feedback, can help with troubleshooting etc. Newer television models have

To run an app you should extract it directly to the root of your FAT32 formatted flash drive. Common extraction programs are winzip or winrar. Then you plug your flash drive into your TV USB port. If your TV is turned on a popup will appear that will prompt you to select: Media play, content library or software upgrade. Select Content Library.
In the content library menu select USB (left hand side) and move your highlighter to the games and/or children. You should see a list of the apps on your flash drive.

You have two options here. You can run the app from the flash drive or you can copy the app to the television internal memory. To run an app highlight it, hit enter on your remote and then play. If you don't get an error message then your app should be running.
Some apps run into problems if your USB flash drive is not fast enough to convey data. Preferably these are the apps you want to install, i.e. copy on your TV internal memory.

A good app to start with is the SamyGO Extensions pack. Read about it [[SamyGO_Extensions_Pack|here]].

=Using Internet@TV =

Internet@TV is the name Samsung has given to their latest television appliances which converge the internet and televisions in once device. They are a collection of Samsung apps which due to their graphical user interface are called widgets. Samsung, in its short-sightedness decided that some of the newer widgets would not be made available to older television model owners. However these older televisions (B-series) can actually run the new widgets included in the C-series. You can install widgets your own widgets by setting up a webserver on your home computer and directing your television to obtain the updated from your computer.

'''TODO'''


=Compatibility table (just for evaluation purposes)=
Below is a first draft of a new version of a comprehensive compatibility table for SamyGO. It is here for evaluation purposes, please feel free to comment on it in the forum. Since this is a still a draft, not all links are there yet, or working. Also probably not all models have been put in yet, and the ones that are there have not yet been completed, I'm still working on it (especially finding the links into the forum pages is a tough job).

The main changes are:

removal of the display type (I think you know what you bought)

Indication of access routes with letters.

combination of a whole bunch of options into a few columns

Oh, and never mind the thin blank lines in the table, they're just empty table entries.

Note: The SamyGO project is compatible with most of the other LN, LA, UN, or UA model TV's. We just haven't tested them yet. No need to get worried about that.

SamyGO for DUMMIES

2011-01-28T22:37:48Z

Rhesus98: /* Using Content Library apps */ title simplification.

I think we have a problem here in SamyGO. Older members tend to know a lot about embedded systems and their operating systems, but some newbies don't seem to know how to execute basic programs...
We thought that every one would know that, because of its relative simplicity. But we are wrong there. Also the Wiki pages are too overwhelming for some newbies.

I think we needed to create a wiki page `SamyGO for DUMMIES" and divert all newbies to that article before starting.
The article might mention about how you could execute programs on a TV or copy them to internal TV memory etc. Easy things, which we don't feel the need to talk a lot about.

So I created this page. Me and others will fill this area later on to show simple processes. Also put pictures about running steps of external applications from TV etc...

=Admin's Message for members to edit this page=
This is page for "dummies".

Please keep this page '''"simple as possible" and "modularized"''', means, do not put information if it's not really required and do not try to explain other article pages, just give a link to that article ( like Samba Mounting, firmware patcher etc...) Here needed to be just elementary information.

Thanks

=What is SamyGO?=
SamyGO started in the summer of 2009 as a thread at avsforum, under the title "Samsung LNXXA650 InfoLink hacking". This thread drew a lot of attention and slowly strayed away from its original topic towards rooting TV's and firmware hacking. It also got quite long, so Erdem U. Altinyurt and a few others decided to start a sourceforge project, specific for enhancement of the firmware of Samsung TV-sets, specifically aimed at models issued from 2008 onwards. Many people stayed on and came along from avsforum to sourceforge.

So that is what SamyGO is: A sourceforge project, aimed at enhancing firmware and functionality, specifically for Samsung TV models from 2008 onwards.

The activities of the SamyGO project comprise, but are not limited to:

#Gaining access to all available Samsung TV models from 2008 onwards (rooting).
#Active development of software extensions to enhance Samsung TV accessibility.
#Active development of applications to run on Samsung TV hardware.
#Giving support to project members who want to enhance their TV's functionality.

SamyGO is not a program that you can "just run" on your TV. Enhancing your hardware is not THAT simple. It requires some beginner and intermediate computer skills. The community will support you and is committed to helping you make this work for you. Remember however, that you need to do your part too. Read and try to understand. If you don't understand, ask in the appropriate forum. Proceed only once you understand what it is you are trying to achieve.

=I want more functionality from my TV. What do I need to do?=

# Find out whether your TV model is supported by SamyGO. See the supported models list at our homepage for that.
# Find out which firmware version your TV is equipped with. Newer firmwares are not (yet) supported by SamyGO. See also the supported models list.
# Checkout the access route for your TV, again, this is in the supported models list.
# Get access! Follow the tutorials in the Wiki pages for that.
# Install the software you like/need.
# Enjoy your improved equipment.

Each of these steps will be explained briefly.

=What is my TV model code and number ?=
[[File:Ue40b7020_model.png|right]]Model code and number are almost the same thing. The model number is a short form of the model code. This is a sample model code with the model number written bold.
'''UE40B7020'''WWXXC
You can read your model code from the sticker at the side or rear of your TV. Once you found the model, you can check whether it is supported by SamyGO [[Compatibility|here for A- and B-series]] and [[Compatibility_Table_for_C_series_TVs| here for C-series models.]]

=What is my firmware model and version ?=
You can learn your firmware number by entering the [[Service Menu]]. Read the detailed wiki page before proceeding with '''GREAT''' caution.

Do not change anything in the service menu until you understand what each setting does. The service menu is like entering the BIOS in a computer. It's where changes can be made to the "brain" that controls television functions. Making the wrong choice in a setting can result in a completely unexpected result and brick your television. To navigate the Service menu ''ONLY'' use the up and down button. Use enter to select and the previous button to return to the previous screen. '''DO NOT USE the RIGHT and LEFT''' buttons of your remote while navigating the service menu unless you know what you are trying to do. Using the left and right navigation butttons may change some variables that may easily brick your TV. If you do make a change to a menu, do not panic. Simply navigate in the opposite direction until the original variable is visible. This is by default the selected option.

To identify your firmware version you only need to enter the main screen of the service menu. You do not need to navigate to other Service menu pages. Identification of your firmware version is important to determine whether your television firmware is supported by SamyGO [[Compatibility|here for A- and B-series]] and here for[[Compatibility_Table_for_C_series_TVs| C-series models.]] You exit the Service menu by turning off the television.

=Is my TV a CI or a CI+ device?=
Samsung has implemented increasing encryption with each series of televsions it releases. Earlier models had no firmware encryption, subsequent firmware releases have [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/XOR_cipher XOR]cipher encryption and the latest firmware releases utilize both AES and XOR encryption. This encryption limits how much editing of a firmware can be done despite the fact that the software Samsung uses is opensource and [http://opensource.samsung.com/ publicly available] per GNU and GPL licensing terms. Knowing the type of firmware utilized is important because it determines what kind of access you can obtain in your television's operating system. There are two types of firmwares based on access, CI and CI+ devices.

A television from the C series is always a CI+ device. B series models have two possibilities: If there is a P in the last part of the model code, it is most likely a CI+ device. The firmware version installed on these TV's has the letters CIP in the firmware version code. Otherwise it is probably a CI device. A series devices do not have encryption.

Some examples:
LE40B652T4'''W'''XXU device uses T-CHL7DEUC firmware, which indicates it is a CI device.
LE40B652T2'''P'''XXU device uses T-CHLCIPDEUC firmware, which indicates it is a CI+ device.
UE40B7020W'''W'''XXC device uses T-CHU7DEUC firmware, which indicates it is a CI device.
'''TODO: Add some UN,UE and PS model "codes" here.'''

You can also find your firmware name and version number in the [[Service Menu]].
This is important to know because there are different software solutions depending on whether your TV is a CI or a CI+ device. Software developers frequently develop two versions of software to support these two types of firmwares. Knowing what kind of TV you have will allow you to select the appropriate SamyGO app.

=What are Restricted Firmwares?=
Restricted Firmwares are original Samsung firmwares which have been released after 01 February 2010. These firmwares have been restricted in many ways by Samsung and have limited how much access one can gain inside their television's operating system. Here in the SamyGO community, we believe this is a deliberate effort to hinder and disable our software development efforts. It is probably also required by the copyright holders of certain parts of the encryption/decryption software for CI+.

Functions that have been removed by the release of these Restricted Firmwares are:
*ExLink Access , that allows us Serial connection to TV's bash line.
*Removal of Top Debug Menu that let us allow to configure every property of TV.
*Removal of u-boot code for that we use to run External firmwares and un-bricking TV.
*Removal of program copy and execution ability from USB disks.
*Removal of Alternative firmware firmware section to avoid reverting older firmwares.
*Additional security enhancements to avoid to flash hacked firmwares.

(*'''TODO: Anything that I forgot?")

If you are interested in applying any of the SamyGO software enhancements to your television's firmware, it's better not to have received any of these firmwares. However, do not despair if you have had your television crippled by these "updates". The ingenuity and hard work of the developers of the SamyGO community have found several work-arounds that will allow you to restore your television to an older firmware that allows SamyGO applications to run. They have also simplified and automated part of this process as much as it is legally possible.

Unfortunately, if you have a restricted firmware, you can't just plug and play. There are several steps that you need to take to gain back "ownership" of your television. Several steps are involved including, copying programs to your TV memory by using an open vulnerabilities such as the "Children Menu" hack or the Nurisam Trojan. This will allow you to move applications to TV and enjoy additional features currently no possible...

=How can I get access to my TV?=
Samsung televisions have an embedded operating system based on linux. When you turn your television on you are essentially operating a computer as a user. You are given limited access to core parts of the operating system by design. If you want more control of what your television you must give it commands to run additional pieces of software with the functionality you desire. To do this you need to obtain access to the television's operating system as a [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Superuser superuser or with root access].
To control any Linux-based system, you need root access to it (Administrator privileges in Windows). Depending on the type of TV and version of the firmware, this can be achieved in a number of ways. In the compatibility tables you can find the methods that have been used successfully for each type (The list is not complete yet, work in progress).
Depending on the firmware and television model you may be able to do this with a simple software installation from a USB drive or you may need to install modified firmware or may need to revert to an older version of firmware that has not been restricted by Samsung.
You can gain access to your televisions operating in several ways.Consult the compatibility table at the bottom of this page to determine which method you can use:

#'''USB''': Loading software from the USB port by flash drive. Restricted firmware has disallowed access to the built in functionality. This is also how modified firmware is flashed. A variation of this method of accessing your television is hotel@USB which is required for newer television models like the C series.
#'''Telnet''': For models with ethernet connectivity it is possible to gain telnet access via your computer network. Non ethernet models may also become network accessible by using a usb wi-fi dongle. This required that you have already obtained root acess and your your television has been modified to allow network access (less common way).
#'''Ex-link Port''' An Ex-link port or service port which allows direct connection from your computer to the television. Many TV models (A and B series) are accessible through a serial port, called Ex-link. This is a serial port, with a 3.5mm stereo jack as a connector port that is called "connector for service only" in your television manual. To use this port, you will need a serial cable with the right layout, which is given [[Enable_Serial_Console_on_non_CI%2B_Devices|'''here'''.]] On the same page you will find how to enter the service menu of your TV, at least for a number of older types of televisions. Newer models (like C series televisions) do not have this access mode. It would be wise to make or buy such a cable prior to changing your firmware in the event of a catastrophic event that requires this connection to recover your television functionality(unbrick your TV).

=SamyGO System Requirements=
#A television that is supported by SamyGo Software. See the [[Compatibility| compatibility list]] (Absence of your model '''does not mean''' that your model is absolutely not supported.)
#Your television must have a firmware software that is [[Is_my_TV_supported%3F|unrestricted]]. If your television is restricted, there a few steps that are required to unrestrict your television prior to using SamyGO apps.
#A computer with internet connection to download the required files.
#A little bit of courage and nerve to follow through the entire process.
#A USB drive formatted with FAT32. Note for windows users: DO '''NOT''' extract the files contained in the zip and rar files you download to an NTFS partition and then to your flash drive. Certain file attributes that are necessary for linux executable files and scripts are lost. A rule of thumb is ALWAYS extract the files you are going to use directly to the USB drive.
#If you're smart you'll also get a ex-link cable and take the previously stated necessary precautions (active debug and turn off watchdog in the service menu) to be ready in case the television gets bricked.

=Understanding SamyGO app vs. SamyGO firmware modification=

Many developers contribute to the SamyGO community and the goal of each application they develop is to enhance the functionality of your television. Applications can be typically be used in two ways:

# Standalone app aka as a SamyGO app or extension
# Incorporation of the application function into the TV firmware

The first method does not require any firmware modifications unless you have restricted firmware. In that case you must first unrestrict your television's firmware before running a SamyGO app. You gain the functionality you want by running the app. For example if you like big yellow subtitles on your TV you can activate the app then watch your movie with big yellow subtitles.

The second method involves advanced scripting modifications to your television firmware. Ingenious developers have developed some scripts that makes this process fairly simple and easy. Other scripts require careful editing of files inside your computer and should be performed with caution. Bricking your TV is a possibility with the method. It would be wise to have an exlink cable so you can unbrick your television.

So what's the difference between the two methods? You must activate the app each time your turn on your TV if you use a SamyGO app . A firmware modification is permanent and automatic, each time you turn on your TV. It may be harder to do but in the long run it saves you a lot of time.

=Firmware Modifications=
==Reverting back to unrestricted firmware==
Loading third party software has been limited with the latest versions of restricted firmware. If you are in the lucky group of television owners with unrestricted firmware then you can skip this section, you are in luck and can stop worrying about firmware restrictions! If your are in the unlucky group of restricted firmware (usually any firmware after dated updated in 2010) then you must revert back to an unrestricted firmware first prior running any SamyGO applications on your TV. Developers at SamyGO have made this a fairly simple process by using a script that automates this process. A list of supported television models and detailed instructions can be [[Forced_revert_back_to_older_firmware| found here]]. Please review all this in detail prior to proceeding with any modifications or running any scripts.

==Patching Firmware with the SamyGO Firmware Patcher==
B-series models (Non CI+) with older firmwares (pre february 2010) have firmware update files which are only trivially encrypted by Samsung and can be modified to allow additional functionality.The [[SamyGO_Firmware_Patcher| SamyGO firmware patch script]] is based on python a computer programming language and changes some of the startup scripts inside of the firmware. This allows additional functionality in the firmware.
Such functionality includes
# Applies the [[Video_AR_Fix|AR v1 Fix]]. This properly resizes the picture proportions n Samsung B series TVs
# Allows you to increase the size of srt subtitles shown in movie playback and
# Subtitle color can change as well. SamyGO favorite is yellow, (ARGB code for yellow is: 0xFFFFFF00, for original color: 0xFFF0F0F0)
# Telnet, advanced or patch.

Once the script completes you will have a new modified firmware with the aforementioned modifications. Once you flash this modified software to your television, you will enjoy the above enhancements but will also be able to run additional software which will enhance your television's functionality even further. This modified firmware makes it much easier to gain root access through [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Telnet telnet].

==Flashing your modified firmware==
This is outlined in your service manual.
#Make sure your firmware is copied to the root of your FAT32 formatted USB drive.
#You can reach the software upgrade menu from your remote control: Menu->Help->Software Upgrade->USB
#You get a pause for 30 secs while your TV searches for a valid firmware.
#Install your modified firmware.
#Remember altering your firmware and trying to install it carried risk of permanent damage. Please read the wiki and become acquainted with what you are trying to do.

If you are more adventurous and feel confident enough you can also update the firmware by direct access by using the exlink cable. Read about this: [[Enable_Serial_Console_on_non_CI%2B_Devices]].

=Using a SamyGO app=

If you have flashed the modified firmware or if you have an unrestricted firmware you can start playing and enjoying the [[Content_Library_applications_list|SamyGO applications]].
There is a [[Content_Library_applications_list|wiki page]] where a list of apps can be found. This page typically has a brief description of the app functionality, a link to download the file as well as a link to the forum where the develop seeks, feedback, can help with troubleshooting etc. Newer television models have

To run an app you should extract it directly to the root of your FAT32 formatted flash drive. Common extraction programs are winzip or winrar. Then you plug your flash drive into your TV USB port. If your TV is turned on a popup will appear that will prompt you to select: Media play, content library or software upgrade. Select Content Library.
In the content library menu select USB (left hand side) and move your highlighter to the games and/or children. You should see a list of the apps on your flash drive.

You have two options here. You can run the app from the flash drive or you can copy the app to the television internal memory. To run an app highlight it, hit enter on your remote and then play. If you don't get an error message then your app should be running.
Some apps run into problems if your USB flash drive is not fast enough to convey data. Preferably these are the apps you want to install, i.e. copy on your TV internal memory.

A good app to start with is the SamyGO Extensions pack. Read about it [[SamyGO_Extensions_Pack|here]].

=Using Internet@TV =

Internet@TV is the name Samsung has given to their latest television appliances which converge the internet and televisions in once device. They are a collection of Samsung apps which due to their graphical user interface are called widgets. Samsung, in its short-sightedness decided that some of the newer widgets would not be made available to older television model owners. However these older televisions (B-series) can actually run the new widgets included in the C-series. Examples of these new widgets include: Google Maps, Facebook, USA today News etc. You can install widgets your own widgets by setting up a webserver on your home computer.

'''TODO'''


=Compatibility table (just for evaluation purposes)=
Below is a first draft of a new version of a comprehensive compatibility table for SamyGO. It is here for evaluation purposes, please feel free to comment on it in the forum. Since this is a still a draft, not all links are there yet, or working. Also probably not all models have been put in yet, and the ones that are there have not yet been completed, I'm still working on it (especially finding the links into the forum pages is a tough job).

The main changes are:

removal of the display type (I think you know what you bought)

Indication of access routes with letters.

combination of a whole bunch of options into a few columns

Oh, and never mind the thin blank lines in the table, they're just empty table entries.

Note: The SamyGO project is compatible with most of the other LN, LA, UN, or UA model TV's. We just haven't tested them yet. No need to get worried about that.

SamyGO for DUMMIES

2011-01-28T22:32:54Z

Rhesus98: /* Understanding SamyGO app vs. SamyGO firmware modification */ minor clarification

I think we have a problem here in SamyGO. Older members tend to know a lot about embedded systems and their operating systems, but some newbies don't seem to know how to execute basic programs...
We thought that every one would know that, because of its relative simplicity. But we are wrong there. Also the Wiki pages are too overwhelming for some newbies.

I think we needed to create a wiki page `SamyGO for DUMMIES" and divert all newbies to that article before starting.
The article might mention about how you could execute programs on a TV or copy them to internal TV memory etc. Easy things, which we don't feel the need to talk a lot about.

So I created this page. Me and others will fill this area later on to show simple processes. Also put pictures about running steps of external applications from TV etc...

=Admin's Message for members to edit this page=
This is page for "dummies".

Please keep this page '''"simple as possible" and "modularized"''', means, do not put information if it's not really required and do not try to explain other article pages, just give a link to that article ( like Samba Mounting, firmware patcher etc...) Here needed to be just elementary information.

Thanks

=What is SamyGO?=
SamyGO started in the summer of 2009 as a thread at avsforum, under the title "Samsung LNXXA650 InfoLink hacking". This thread drew a lot of attention and slowly strayed away from its original topic towards rooting TV's and firmware hacking. It also got quite long, so Erdem U. Altinyurt and a few others decided to start a sourceforge project, specific for enhancement of the firmware of Samsung TV-sets, specifically aimed at models issued from 2008 onwards. Many people stayed on and came along from avsforum to sourceforge.

So that is what SamyGO is: A sourceforge project, aimed at enhancing firmware and functionality, specifically for Samsung TV models from 2008 onwards.

The activities of the SamyGO project comprise, but are not limited to:

#Gaining access to all available Samsung TV models from 2008 onwards (rooting).
#Active development of software extensions to enhance Samsung TV accessibility.
#Active development of applications to run on Samsung TV hardware.
#Giving support to project members who want to enhance their TV's functionality.

SamyGO is not a program that you can "just run" on your TV. Enhancing your hardware is not THAT simple. It requires some beginner and intermediate computer skills. The community will support you and is committed to helping you make this work for you. Remember however, that you need to do your part too. Read and try to understand. If you don't understand, ask in the appropriate forum. Proceed only once you understand what it is you are trying to achieve.

=I want more functionality from my TV. What do I need to do?=

# Find out whether your TV model is supported by SamyGO. See the supported models list at our homepage for that.
# Find out which firmware version your TV is equipped with. Newer firmwares are not (yet) supported by SamyGO. See also the supported models list.
# Checkout the access route for your TV, again, this is in the supported models list.
# Get access! Follow the tutorials in the Wiki pages for that.
# Install the software you like/need.
# Enjoy your improved equipment.

Each of these steps will be explained briefly.

=What is my TV model code and number ?=
[[File:Ue40b7020_model.png|right]]Model code and number are almost the same thing. The model number is a short form of the model code. This is a sample model code with the model number written bold.
'''UE40B7020'''WWXXC
You can read your model code from the sticker at the side or rear of your TV. Once you found the model, you can check whether it is supported by SamyGO [[Compatibility|here for A- and B-series]] and [[Compatibility_Table_for_C_series_TVs| here for C-series models.]]

=What is my firmware model and version ?=
You can learn your firmware number by entering the [[Service Menu]]. Read the detailed wiki page before proceeding with '''GREAT''' caution.

Do not change anything in the service menu until you understand what each setting does. The service menu is like entering the BIOS in a computer. It's where changes can be made to the "brain" that controls television functions. Making the wrong choice in a setting can result in a completely unexpected result and brick your television. To navigate the Service menu ''ONLY'' use the up and down button. Use enter to select and the previous button to return to the previous screen. '''DO NOT USE the RIGHT and LEFT''' buttons of your remote while navigating the service menu unless you know what you are trying to do. Using the left and right navigation butttons may change some variables that may easily brick your TV. If you do make a change to a menu, do not panic. Simply navigate in the opposite direction until the original variable is visible. This is by default the selected option.

To identify your firmware version you only need to enter the main screen of the service menu. You do not need to navigate to other Service menu pages. Identification of your firmware version is important to determine whether your television firmware is supported by SamyGO [[Compatibility|here for A- and B-series]] and here for[[Compatibility_Table_for_C_series_TVs| C-series models.]] You exit the Service menu by turning off the television.

=Is my TV a CI or a CI+ device?=
Samsung has implemented increasing encryption with each series of televsions it releases. Earlier models had no firmware encryption, subsequent firmware releases have [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/XOR_cipher XOR]cipher encryption and the latest firmware releases utilize both AES and XOR encryption. This encryption limits how much editing of a firmware can be done despite the fact that the software Samsung uses is opensource and [http://opensource.samsung.com/ publicly available] per GNU and GPL licensing terms. Knowing the type of firmware utilized is important because it determines what kind of access you can obtain in your television's operating system. There are two types of firmwares based on access, CI and CI+ devices.

A television from the C series is always a CI+ device. B series models have two possibilities: If there is a P in the last part of the model code, it is most likely a CI+ device. The firmware version installed on these TV's has the letters CIP in the firmware version code. Otherwise it is probably a CI device. A series devices do not have encryption.

Some examples:
LE40B652T4'''W'''XXU device uses T-CHL7DEUC firmware, which indicates it is a CI device.
LE40B652T2'''P'''XXU device uses T-CHLCIPDEUC firmware, which indicates it is a CI+ device.
UE40B7020W'''W'''XXC device uses T-CHU7DEUC firmware, which indicates it is a CI device.
'''TODO: Add some UN,UE and PS model "codes" here.'''

You can also find your firmware name and version number in the [[Service Menu]].
This is important to know because there are different software solutions depending on whether your TV is a CI or a CI+ device. Software developers frequently develop two versions of software to support these two types of firmwares. Knowing what kind of TV you have will allow you to select the appropriate SamyGO app.

=What are Restricted Firmwares?=
Restricted Firmwares are original Samsung firmwares which have been released after 01 February 2010. These firmwares have been restricted in many ways by Samsung and have limited how much access one can gain inside their television's operating system. Here in the SamyGO community, we believe this is a deliberate effort to hinder and disable our software development efforts. It is probably also required by the copyright holders of certain parts of the encryption/decryption software for CI+.

Functions that have been removed by the release of these Restricted Firmwares are:
*ExLink Access , that allows us Serial connection to TV's bash line.
*Removal of Top Debug Menu that let us allow to configure every property of TV.
*Removal of u-boot code for that we use to run External firmwares and un-bricking TV.
*Removal of program copy and execution ability from USB disks.
*Removal of Alternative firmware firmware section to avoid reverting older firmwares.
*Additional security enhancements to avoid to flash hacked firmwares.

(*'''TODO: Anything that I forgot?")

If you are interested in applying any of the SamyGO software enhancements to your television's firmware, it's better not to have received any of these firmwares. However, do not despair if you have had your television crippled by these "updates". The ingenuity and hard work of the developers of the SamyGO community have found several work-arounds that will allow you to restore your television to an older firmware that allows SamyGO applications to run. They have also simplified and automated part of this process as much as it is legally possible.

Unfortunately, if you have a restricted firmware, you can't just plug and play. There are several steps that you need to take to gain back "ownership" of your television. Several steps are involved including, copying programs to your TV memory by using an open vulnerabilities such as the "Children Menu" hack or the Nurisam Trojan. This will allow you to move applications to TV and enjoy additional features currently no possible...

=How can I get access to my TV?=
Samsung televisions have an embedded operating system based on linux. When you turn your television on you are essentially operating a computer as a user. You are given limited access to core parts of the operating system by design. If you want more control of what your television you must give it commands to run additional pieces of software with the functionality you desire. To do this you need to obtain access to the television's operating system as a [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Superuser superuser or with root access].
To control any Linux-based system, you need root access to it (Administrator privileges in Windows). Depending on the type of TV and version of the firmware, this can be achieved in a number of ways. In the compatibility tables you can find the methods that have been used successfully for each type (The list is not complete yet, work in progress).
Depending on the firmware and television model you may be able to do this with a simple software installation from a USB drive or you may need to install modified firmware or may need to revert to an older version of firmware that has not been restricted by Samsung.
You can gain access to your televisions operating in several ways.Consult the compatibility table at the bottom of this page to determine which method you can use:

#'''USB''': Loading software from the USB port by flash drive. Restricted firmware has disallowed access to the built in functionality. This is also how modified firmware is flashed. A variation of this method of accessing your television is hotel@USB which is required for newer television models like the C series.
#'''Telnet''': For models with ethernet connectivity it is possible to gain telnet access via your computer network. Non ethernet models may also become network accessible by using a usb wi-fi dongle. This required that you have already obtained root acess and your your television has been modified to allow network access (less common way).
#'''Ex-link Port''' An Ex-link port or service port which allows direct connection from your computer to the television. Many TV models (A and B series) are accessible through a serial port, called Ex-link. This is a serial port, with a 3.5mm stereo jack as a connector port that is called "connector for service only" in your television manual. To use this port, you will need a serial cable with the right layout, which is given [[Enable_Serial_Console_on_non_CI%2B_Devices|'''here'''.]] On the same page you will find how to enter the service menu of your TV, at least for a number of older types of televisions. Newer models (like C series televisions) do not have this access mode. It would be wise to make or buy such a cable prior to changing your firmware in the event of a catastrophic event that requires this connection to recover your television functionality(unbrick your TV).

=SamyGO System Requirements=
#A television that is supported by SamyGo Software. See the [[Compatibility| compatibility list]] (Absence of your model '''does not mean''' that your model is absolutely not supported.)
#Your television must have a firmware software that is [[Is_my_TV_supported%3F|unrestricted]]. If your television is restricted, there a few steps that are required to unrestrict your television prior to using SamyGO apps.
#A computer with internet connection to download the required files.
#A little bit of courage and nerve to follow through the entire process.
#A USB drive formatted with FAT32. Note for windows users: DO '''NOT''' extract the files contained in the zip and rar files you download to an NTFS partition and then to your flash drive. Certain file attributes that are necessary for linux executable files and scripts are lost. A rule of thumb is ALWAYS extract the files you are going to use directly to the USB drive.
#If you're smart you'll also get a ex-link cable and take the previously stated necessary precautions (active debug and turn off watchdog in the service menu) to be ready in case the television gets bricked.

=Understanding SamyGO app vs. SamyGO firmware modification=

Many developers contribute to the SamyGO community and the goal of each application they develop is to enhance the functionality of your television. Applications can be typically be used in two ways:

# Standalone app aka as a SamyGO app or extension
# Incorporation of the application function into the TV firmware

The first method does not require any firmware modifications unless you have restricted firmware. In that case you must first unrestrict your television's firmware before running a SamyGO app. You gain the functionality you want by running the app. For example if you like big yellow subtitles on your TV you can activate the app then watch your movie with big yellow subtitles.

The second method involves advanced scripting modifications to your television firmware. Ingenious developers have developed some scripts that makes this process fairly simple and easy. Other scripts require careful editing of files inside your computer and should be performed with caution. Bricking your TV is a possibility with the method. It would be wise to have an exlink cable so you can unbrick your television.

So what's the difference between the two methods? You must activate the app each time your turn on your TV if you use a SamyGO app . A firmware modification is permanent and automatic, each time you turn on your TV. It may be harder to do but in the long run it saves you a lot of time.

=Firmware Modifications=
==Reverting back to unrestricted firmware==
Loading third party software has been limited with the latest versions of restricted firmware. If you are in the lucky group of television owners with unrestricted firmware then you can skip this section, you are in luck and can stop worrying about firmware restrictions! If your are in the unlucky group of restricted firmware (usually any firmware after dated updated in 2010) then you must revert back to an unrestricted firmware first prior running any SamyGO applications on your TV. Developers at SamyGO have made this a fairly simple process by using a script that automates this process. A list of supported television models and detailed instructions can be [[Forced_revert_back_to_older_firmware| found here]]. Please review all this in detail prior to proceeding with any modifications or running any scripts.

==Patching Firmware with the SamyGO Firmware Patcher==
B-series models (Non CI+) with older firmwares (pre february 2010) have firmware update files which are only trivially encrypted by Samsung and can be modified to allow additional functionality.The [[SamyGO_Firmware_Patcher| SamyGO firmware patch script]] is based on python a computer programming language and changes some of the startup scripts inside of the firmware. This allows additional functionality in the firmware.
Such functionality includes
# Applies the [[Video_AR_Fix|AR v1 Fix]]. This properly resizes the picture proportions n Samsung B series TVs
# Allows you to increase the size of srt subtitles shown in movie playback and
# Subtitle color can change as well. SamyGO favorite is yellow, (ARGB code for yellow is: 0xFFFFFF00, for original color: 0xFFF0F0F0)
# Telnet, advanced or patch.

Once the script completes you will have a new modified firmware with the aforementioned modifications. Once you flash this modified software to your television, you will enjoy the above enhancements but will also be able to run additional software which will enhance your television's functionality even further. This modified firmware makes it much easier to gain root access through [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Telnet telnet].

==Flashing your modified firmware==
This is outlined in your service manual.
#Make sure your firmware is copied to the root of your FAT32 formatted USB drive.
#You can reach the software upgrade menu from your remote control: Menu->Help->Software Upgrade->USB
#You get a pause for 30 secs while your TV searches for a valid firmware.
#Install your modified firmware.
#Remember altering your firmware and trying to install it carried risk of permanent damage. Please read the wiki and become acquainted with what you are trying to do.

If you are more adventurous and feel confident enough you can also update the firmware by direct access by using the exlink cable. Read about this: [[Enable_Serial_Console_on_non_CI%2B_Devices]].

=Using Content Library apps=

If you have flashed the modified firmware or if you have an unrestricted firmware you can start playing and enjoying the [[Content_Library_applications_list|SamyGO applications]].
There is a [[Content_Library_applications_list|wiki page]] where a list of apps can be found. This page typically has a brief description of the app functionality, a link to download the file as well as a link to the forum where the develop seeks, feedback, can help with troubleshooting etc.

To run an app you should extract it directly to the root of your FAT32 formatted flash drive. Common extraction programs are winzip or winrar. You plug your Flash drive into your TV USB port. If your TV is turned on a popup will appear that will prompt you to select: Media play, content library or software upgrade. Select Content Library.
In the content library menu select USB (left hand side) and move your highlighter to the games and/or children. You should see a list of the apps on your flash drive.

You have two options here. You can run the app from the flash drive or you can copy the app to the television internal memory. To run an app highlight it, hit enter on your remote and then play. If you don't get an error message then your app should be running.
Some apps run into problems if your USB flash drive is not fast enough to convey data. Preferably these are the apps you want to install, i.e. copy on your TV internal memory.

A good app to start with is the SamyGO Extensions pack. Read about it [[SamyGO_Extensions_Pack|here]].

=Using Internet@TV =

Internet@TV is the name Samsung has given to their latest television appliances which converge the internet and televisions in once device. They are a collection of Samsung apps which due to their graphical user interface are called widgets. Samsung, in its short-sightedness decided that some of the newer widgets would not be made available to older television model owners. However these older televisions (B-series) can actually run the new widgets included in the C-series. Examples of these new widgets include: Google Maps, Facebook, USA today News etc. You can install widgets your own widgets by setting up a webserver on your home computer.

'''TODO'''


=Compatibility table (just for evaluation purposes)=
Below is a first draft of a new version of a comprehensive compatibility table for SamyGO. It is here for evaluation purposes, please feel free to comment on it in the forum. Since this is a still a draft, not all links are there yet, or working. Also probably not all models have been put in yet, and the ones that are there have not yet been completed, I'm still working on it (especially finding the links into the forum pages is a tough job).

The main changes are:

removal of the display type (I think you know what you bought)

Indication of access routes with letters.

combination of a whole bunch of options into a few columns

Oh, and never mind the thin blank lines in the table, they're just empty table entries.

Note: The SamyGO project is compatible with most of the other LN, LA, UN, or UA model TV's. We just haven't tested them yet. No need to get worried about that.

SamyGO for DUMMIES

2011-01-28T22:30:52Z

Rhesus98: /* Understanding SamyGO app vs. SamyGO firmware modification */

I think we have a problem here in SamyGO. Older members tend to know a lot about embedded systems and their operating systems, but some newbies don't seem to know how to execute basic programs...
We thought that every one would know that, because of its relative simplicity. But we are wrong there. Also the Wiki pages are too overwhelming for some newbies.

I think we needed to create a wiki page `SamyGO for DUMMIES" and divert all newbies to that article before starting.
The article might mention about how you could execute programs on a TV or copy them to internal TV memory etc. Easy things, which we don't feel the need to talk a lot about.

So I created this page. Me and others will fill this area later on to show simple processes. Also put pictures about running steps of external applications from TV etc...

=Admin's Message for members to edit this page=
This is page for "dummies".

Please keep this page '''"simple as possible" and "modularized"''', means, do not put information if it's not really required and do not try to explain other article pages, just give a link to that article ( like Samba Mounting, firmware patcher etc...) Here needed to be just elementary information.

Thanks

=What is SamyGO?=
SamyGO started in the summer of 2009 as a thread at avsforum, under the title "Samsung LNXXA650 InfoLink hacking". This thread drew a lot of attention and slowly strayed away from its original topic towards rooting TV's and firmware hacking. It also got quite long, so Erdem U. Altinyurt and a few others decided to start a sourceforge project, specific for enhancement of the firmware of Samsung TV-sets, specifically aimed at models issued from 2008 onwards. Many people stayed on and came along from avsforum to sourceforge.

So that is what SamyGO is: A sourceforge project, aimed at enhancing firmware and functionality, specifically for Samsung TV models from 2008 onwards.

The activities of the SamyGO project comprise, but are not limited to:

#Gaining access to all available Samsung TV models from 2008 onwards (rooting).
#Active development of software extensions to enhance Samsung TV accessibility.
#Active development of applications to run on Samsung TV hardware.
#Giving support to project members who want to enhance their TV's functionality.

SamyGO is not a program that you can "just run" on your TV. Enhancing your hardware is not THAT simple. It requires some beginner and intermediate computer skills. The community will support you and is committed to helping you make this work for you. Remember however, that you need to do your part too. Read and try to understand. If you don't understand, ask in the appropriate forum. Proceed only once you understand what it is you are trying to achieve.

=I want more functionality from my TV. What do I need to do?=

# Find out whether your TV model is supported by SamyGO. See the supported models list at our homepage for that.
# Find out which firmware version your TV is equipped with. Newer firmwares are not (yet) supported by SamyGO. See also the supported models list.
# Checkout the access route for your TV, again, this is in the supported models list.
# Get access! Follow the tutorials in the Wiki pages for that.
# Install the software you like/need.
# Enjoy your improved equipment.

Each of these steps will be explained briefly.

=What is my TV model code and number ?=
[[File:Ue40b7020_model.png|right]]Model code and number are almost the same thing. The model number is a short form of the model code. This is a sample model code with the model number written bold.
'''UE40B7020'''WWXXC
You can read your model code from the sticker at the side or rear of your TV. Once you found the model, you can check whether it is supported by SamyGO [[Compatibility|here for A- and B-series]] and [[Compatibility_Table_for_C_series_TVs| here for C-series models.]]

=What is my firmware model and version ?=
You can learn your firmware number by entering the [[Service Menu]]. Read the detailed wiki page before proceeding with '''GREAT''' caution.

Do not change anything in the service menu until you understand what each setting does. The service menu is like entering the BIOS in a computer. It's where changes can be made to the "brain" that controls television functions. Making the wrong choice in a setting can result in a completely unexpected result and brick your television. To navigate the Service menu ''ONLY'' use the up and down button. Use enter to select and the previous button to return to the previous screen. '''DO NOT USE the RIGHT and LEFT''' buttons of your remote while navigating the service menu unless you know what you are trying to do. Using the left and right navigation butttons may change some variables that may easily brick your TV. If you do make a change to a menu, do not panic. Simply navigate in the opposite direction until the original variable is visible. This is by default the selected option.

To identify your firmware version you only need to enter the main screen of the service menu. You do not need to navigate to other Service menu pages. Identification of your firmware version is important to determine whether your television firmware is supported by SamyGO [[Compatibility|here for A- and B-series]] and here for[[Compatibility_Table_for_C_series_TVs| C-series models.]] You exit the Service menu by turning off the television.

=Is my TV a CI or a CI+ device?=
Samsung has implemented increasing encryption with each series of televsions it releases. Earlier models had no firmware encryption, subsequent firmware releases have [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/XOR_cipher XOR]cipher encryption and the latest firmware releases utilize both AES and XOR encryption. This encryption limits how much editing of a firmware can be done despite the fact that the software Samsung uses is opensource and [http://opensource.samsung.com/ publicly available] per GNU and GPL licensing terms. Knowing the type of firmware utilized is important because it determines what kind of access you can obtain in your television's operating system. There are two types of firmwares based on access, CI and CI+ devices.

A television from the C series is always a CI+ device. B series models have two possibilities: If there is a P in the last part of the model code, it is most likely a CI+ device. The firmware version installed on these TV's has the letters CIP in the firmware version code. Otherwise it is probably a CI device. A series devices do not have encryption.

Some examples:
LE40B652T4'''W'''XXU device uses T-CHL7DEUC firmware, which indicates it is a CI device.
LE40B652T2'''P'''XXU device uses T-CHLCIPDEUC firmware, which indicates it is a CI+ device.
UE40B7020W'''W'''XXC device uses T-CHU7DEUC firmware, which indicates it is a CI device.
'''TODO: Add some UN,UE and PS model "codes" here.'''

You can also find your firmware name and version number in the [[Service Menu]].
This is important to know because there are different software solutions depending on whether your TV is a CI or a CI+ device. Software developers frequently develop two versions of software to support these two types of firmwares. Knowing what kind of TV you have will allow you to select the appropriate SamyGO app.

=What are Restricted Firmwares?=
Restricted Firmwares are original Samsung firmwares which have been released after 01 February 2010. These firmwares have been restricted in many ways by Samsung and have limited how much access one can gain inside their television's operating system. Here in the SamyGO community, we believe this is a deliberate effort to hinder and disable our software development efforts. It is probably also required by the copyright holders of certain parts of the encryption/decryption software for CI+.

Functions that have been removed by the release of these Restricted Firmwares are:
*ExLink Access , that allows us Serial connection to TV's bash line.
*Removal of Top Debug Menu that let us allow to configure every property of TV.
*Removal of u-boot code for that we use to run External firmwares and un-bricking TV.
*Removal of program copy and execution ability from USB disks.
*Removal of Alternative firmware firmware section to avoid reverting older firmwares.
*Additional security enhancements to avoid to flash hacked firmwares.

(*'''TODO: Anything that I forgot?")

If you are interested in applying any of the SamyGO software enhancements to your television's firmware, it's better not to have received any of these firmwares. However, do not despair if you have had your television crippled by these "updates". The ingenuity and hard work of the developers of the SamyGO community have found several work-arounds that will allow you to restore your television to an older firmware that allows SamyGO applications to run. They have also simplified and automated part of this process as much as it is legally possible.

Unfortunately, if you have a restricted firmware, you can't just plug and play. There are several steps that you need to take to gain back "ownership" of your television. Several steps are involved including, copying programs to your TV memory by using an open vulnerabilities such as the "Children Menu" hack or the Nurisam Trojan. This will allow you to move applications to TV and enjoy additional features currently no possible...

=How can I get access to my TV?=
Samsung televisions have an embedded operating system based on linux. When you turn your television on you are essentially operating a computer as a user. You are given limited access to core parts of the operating system by design. If you want more control of what your television you must give it commands to run additional pieces of software with the functionality you desire. To do this you need to obtain access to the television's operating system as a [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Superuser superuser or with root access].
To control any Linux-based system, you need root access to it (Administrator privileges in Windows). Depending on the type of TV and version of the firmware, this can be achieved in a number of ways. In the compatibility tables you can find the methods that have been used successfully for each type (The list is not complete yet, work in progress).
Depending on the firmware and television model you may be able to do this with a simple software installation from a USB drive or you may need to install modified firmware or may need to revert to an older version of firmware that has not been restricted by Samsung.
You can gain access to your televisions operating in several ways.Consult the compatibility table at the bottom of this page to determine which method you can use:

#'''USB''': Loading software from the USB port by flash drive. Restricted firmware has disallowed access to the built in functionality. This is also how modified firmware is flashed. A variation of this method of accessing your television is hotel@USB which is required for newer television models like the C series.
#'''Telnet''': For models with ethernet connectivity it is possible to gain telnet access via your computer network. Non ethernet models may also become network accessible by using a usb wi-fi dongle. This required that you have already obtained root acess and your your television has been modified to allow network access (less common way).
#'''Ex-link Port''' An Ex-link port or service port which allows direct connection from your computer to the television. Many TV models (A and B series) are accessible through a serial port, called Ex-link. This is a serial port, with a 3.5mm stereo jack as a connector port that is called "connector for service only" in your television manual. To use this port, you will need a serial cable with the right layout, which is given [[Enable_Serial_Console_on_non_CI%2B_Devices|'''here'''.]] On the same page you will find how to enter the service menu of your TV, at least for a number of older types of televisions. Newer models (like C series televisions) do not have this access mode. It would be wise to make or buy such a cable prior to changing your firmware in the event of a catastrophic event that requires this connection to recover your television functionality(unbrick your TV).

=SamyGO System Requirements=
#A television that is supported by SamyGo Software. See the [[Compatibility| compatibility list]] (Absence of your model '''does not mean''' that your model is absolutely not supported.)
#Your television must have a firmware software that is [[Is_my_TV_supported%3F|unrestricted]]. If your television is restricted, there a few steps that are required to unrestrict your television prior to using SamyGO apps.
#A computer with internet connection to download the required files.
#A little bit of courage and nerve to follow through the entire process.
#A USB drive formatted with FAT32. Note for windows users: DO '''NOT''' extract the files contained in the zip and rar files you download to an NTFS partition and then to your flash drive. Certain file attributes that are necessary for linux executable files and scripts are lost. A rule of thumb is ALWAYS extract the files you are going to use directly to the USB drive.
#If you're smart you'll also get a ex-link cable and take the previously stated necessary precautions (active debug and turn off watchdog in the service menu) to be ready in case the television gets bricked.

=Understanding SamyGO app vs. SamyGO firmware modification=

Many developers contribute to the SamyGO community and the goal of each application they develop is to enhance the functionality of your television. Applications can be typically be used in two ways:

# Standalone app aka as a SamyGO app or extension
# Incorporation of the application function into the TV firmware

The first method does not require any firmware modifications unless you have restricted firmware. In that case you must first unrestrict your television's firmware before running a SamyGO app. You gain the functionality you want by running the app. For example if you like big yellow subtitles on your TV you can activate the app then watch your movie with big yellow subtitles.

The second method involves advanced scripting. Ingenious developers have developed some scripts that makes this process fairly simple and easy. Other scripts require careful editing of files inside your computer and should be done with caution. Bricking your TV is a possibility with the method.

So what's the difference between the two methods? You must activate the app each time your turn on your TV if you use a SamyGO app . A firmware modification is permanent and automatic, each time you turn on your TV. It may be harder to do but in the long run it saves you a lot of time.

=Firmware Modifications=
==Reverting back to unrestricted firmware==
Loading third party software has been limited with the latest versions of restricted firmware. If you are in the lucky group of television owners with unrestricted firmware then you can skip this section, you are in luck and can stop worrying about firmware restrictions! If your are in the unlucky group of restricted firmware (usually any firmware after dated updated in 2010) then you must revert back to an unrestricted firmware first prior running any SamyGO applications on your TV. Developers at SamyGO have made this a fairly simple process by using a script that automates this process. A list of supported television models and detailed instructions can be [[Forced_revert_back_to_older_firmware| found here]]. Please review all this in detail prior to proceeding with any modifications or running any scripts.

==Patching Firmware with the SamyGO Firmware Patcher==
B-series models (Non CI+) with older firmwares (pre february 2010) have firmware update files which are only trivially encrypted by Samsung and can be modified to allow additional functionality.The [[SamyGO_Firmware_Patcher| SamyGO firmware patch script]] is based on python a computer programming language and changes some of the startup scripts inside of the firmware. This allows additional functionality in the firmware.
Such functionality includes
# Applies the [[Video_AR_Fix|AR v1 Fix]]. This properly resizes the picture proportions n Samsung B series TVs
# Allows you to increase the size of srt subtitles shown in movie playback and
# Subtitle color can change as well. SamyGO favorite is yellow, (ARGB code for yellow is: 0xFFFFFF00, for original color: 0xFFF0F0F0)
# Telnet, advanced or patch.

Once the script completes you will have a new modified firmware with the aforementioned modifications. Once you flash this modified software to your television, you will enjoy the above enhancements but will also be able to run additional software which will enhance your television's functionality even further. This modified firmware makes it much easier to gain root access through [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Telnet telnet].

==Flashing your modified firmware==
This is outlined in your service manual.
#Make sure your firmware is copied to the root of your FAT32 formatted USB drive.
#You can reach the software upgrade menu from your remote control: Menu->Help->Software Upgrade->USB
#You get a pause for 30 secs while your TV searches for a valid firmware.
#Install your modified firmware.
#Remember altering your firmware and trying to install it carried risk of permanent damage. Please read the wiki and become acquainted with what you are trying to do.

If you are more adventurous and feel confident enough you can also update the firmware by direct access by using the exlink cable. Read about this: [[Enable_Serial_Console_on_non_CI%2B_Devices]].

=Using Content Library apps=

If you have flashed the modified firmware or if you have an unrestricted firmware you can start playing and enjoying the [[Content_Library_applications_list|SamyGO applications]].
There is a [[Content_Library_applications_list|wiki page]] where a list of apps can be found. This page typically has a brief description of the app functionality, a link to download the file as well as a link to the forum where the develop seeks, feedback, can help with troubleshooting etc.

To run an app you should extract it directly to the root of your FAT32 formatted flash drive. Common extraction programs are winzip or winrar. You plug your Flash drive into your TV USB port. If your TV is turned on a popup will appear that will prompt you to select: Media play, content library or software upgrade. Select Content Library.
In the content library menu select USB (left hand side) and move your highlighter to the games and/or children. You should see a list of the apps on your flash drive.

You have two options here. You can run the app from the flash drive or you can copy the app to the television internal memory. To run an app highlight it, hit enter on your remote and then play. If you don't get an error message then your app should be running.
Some apps run into problems if your USB flash drive is not fast enough to convey data. Preferably these are the apps you want to install, i.e. copy on your TV internal memory.

A good app to start with is the SamyGO Extensions pack. Read about it [[SamyGO_Extensions_Pack|here]].

=Using Internet@TV =

Internet@TV is the name Samsung has given to their latest television appliances which converge the internet and televisions in once device. They are a collection of Samsung apps which due to their graphical user interface are called widgets. Samsung, in its short-sightedness decided that some of the newer widgets would not be made available to older television model owners. However these older televisions (B-series) can actually run the new widgets included in the C-series. Examples of these new widgets include: Google Maps, Facebook, USA today News etc. You can install widgets your own widgets by setting up a webserver on your home computer.

=Using Hotel@USB =
'''TODO'''


=Compatibility table (just for evaluation purposes)=
Below is a first draft of a new version of a comprehensive compatibility table for SamyGO. It is here for evaluation purposes, please feel free to comment on it in the forum. Since this is a still a draft, not all links are there yet, or working. Also probably not all models have been put in yet, and the ones that are there have not yet been completed, I'm still working on it (especially finding the links into the forum pages is a tough job).

The main changes are:

removal of the display type (I think you know what you bought)

Indication of access routes with letters.

combination of a whole bunch of options into a few columns

Oh, and never mind the thin blank lines in the table, they're just empty table entries.

Note: The SamyGO project is compatible with most of the other LN, LA, UN, or UA model TV's. We just haven't tested them yet. No need to get worried about that.

SamyGO for DUMMIES

2011-01-28T22:30:09Z

Rhesus98: /* SamyGO System Requirements */

I think we have a problem here in SamyGO. Older members tend to know a lot about embedded systems and their operating systems, but some newbies don't seem to know how to execute basic programs...
We thought that every one would know that, because of its relative simplicity. But we are wrong there. Also the Wiki pages are too overwhelming for some newbies.

I think we needed to create a wiki page `SamyGO for DUMMIES" and divert all newbies to that article before starting.
The article might mention about how you could execute programs on a TV or copy them to internal TV memory etc. Easy things, which we don't feel the need to talk a lot about.

So I created this page. Me and others will fill this area later on to show simple processes. Also put pictures about running steps of external applications from TV etc...

=Admin's Message for members to edit this page=
This is page for "dummies".

Please keep this page '''"simple as possible" and "modularized"''', means, do not put information if it's not really required and do not try to explain other article pages, just give a link to that article ( like Samba Mounting, firmware patcher etc...) Here needed to be just elementary information.

Thanks

=What is SamyGO?=
SamyGO started in the summer of 2009 as a thread at avsforum, under the title "Samsung LNXXA650 InfoLink hacking". This thread drew a lot of attention and slowly strayed away from its original topic towards rooting TV's and firmware hacking. It also got quite long, so Erdem U. Altinyurt and a few others decided to start a sourceforge project, specific for enhancement of the firmware of Samsung TV-sets, specifically aimed at models issued from 2008 onwards. Many people stayed on and came along from avsforum to sourceforge.

So that is what SamyGO is: A sourceforge project, aimed at enhancing firmware and functionality, specifically for Samsung TV models from 2008 onwards.

The activities of the SamyGO project comprise, but are not limited to:

#Gaining access to all available Samsung TV models from 2008 onwards (rooting).
#Active development of software extensions to enhance Samsung TV accessibility.
#Active development of applications to run on Samsung TV hardware.
#Giving support to project members who want to enhance their TV's functionality.

SamyGO is not a program that you can "just run" on your TV. Enhancing your hardware is not THAT simple. It requires some beginner and intermediate computer skills. The community will support you and is committed to helping you make this work for you. Remember however, that you need to do your part too. Read and try to understand. If you don't understand, ask in the appropriate forum. Proceed only once you understand what it is you are trying to achieve.

=I want more functionality from my TV. What do I need to do?=

# Find out whether your TV model is supported by SamyGO. See the supported models list at our homepage for that.
# Find out which firmware version your TV is equipped with. Newer firmwares are not (yet) supported by SamyGO. See also the supported models list.
# Checkout the access route for your TV, again, this is in the supported models list.
# Get access! Follow the tutorials in the Wiki pages for that.
# Install the software you like/need.
# Enjoy your improved equipment.

Each of these steps will be explained briefly.

=What is my TV model code and number ?=
[[File:Ue40b7020_model.png|right]]Model code and number are almost the same thing. The model number is a short form of the model code. This is a sample model code with the model number written bold.
'''UE40B7020'''WWXXC
You can read your model code from the sticker at the side or rear of your TV. Once you found the model, you can check whether it is supported by SamyGO [[Compatibility|here for A- and B-series]] and [[Compatibility_Table_for_C_series_TVs| here for C-series models.]]

=What is my firmware model and version ?=
You can learn your firmware number by entering the [[Service Menu]]. Read the detailed wiki page before proceeding with '''GREAT''' caution.

Do not change anything in the service menu until you understand what each setting does. The service menu is like entering the BIOS in a computer. It's where changes can be made to the "brain" that controls television functions. Making the wrong choice in a setting can result in a completely unexpected result and brick your television. To navigate the Service menu ''ONLY'' use the up and down button. Use enter to select and the previous button to return to the previous screen. '''DO NOT USE the RIGHT and LEFT''' buttons of your remote while navigating the service menu unless you know what you are trying to do. Using the left and right navigation butttons may change some variables that may easily brick your TV. If you do make a change to a menu, do not panic. Simply navigate in the opposite direction until the original variable is visible. This is by default the selected option.

To identify your firmware version you only need to enter the main screen of the service menu. You do not need to navigate to other Service menu pages. Identification of your firmware version is important to determine whether your television firmware is supported by SamyGO [[Compatibility|here for A- and B-series]] and here for[[Compatibility_Table_for_C_series_TVs| C-series models.]] You exit the Service menu by turning off the television.

=Is my TV a CI or a CI+ device?=
Samsung has implemented increasing encryption with each series of televsions it releases. Earlier models had no firmware encryption, subsequent firmware releases have [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/XOR_cipher XOR]cipher encryption and the latest firmware releases utilize both AES and XOR encryption. This encryption limits how much editing of a firmware can be done despite the fact that the software Samsung uses is opensource and [http://opensource.samsung.com/ publicly available] per GNU and GPL licensing terms. Knowing the type of firmware utilized is important because it determines what kind of access you can obtain in your television's operating system. There are two types of firmwares based on access, CI and CI+ devices.

A television from the C series is always a CI+ device. B series models have two possibilities: If there is a P in the last part of the model code, it is most likely a CI+ device. The firmware version installed on these TV's has the letters CIP in the firmware version code. Otherwise it is probably a CI device. A series devices do not have encryption.

Some examples:
LE40B652T4'''W'''XXU device uses T-CHL7DEUC firmware, which indicates it is a CI device.
LE40B652T2'''P'''XXU device uses T-CHLCIPDEUC firmware, which indicates it is a CI+ device.
UE40B7020W'''W'''XXC device uses T-CHU7DEUC firmware, which indicates it is a CI device.
'''TODO: Add some UN,UE and PS model "codes" here.'''

You can also find your firmware name and version number in the [[Service Menu]].
This is important to know because there are different software solutions depending on whether your TV is a CI or a CI+ device. Software developers frequently develop two versions of software to support these two types of firmwares. Knowing what kind of TV you have will allow you to select the appropriate SamyGO app.

=What are Restricted Firmwares?=
Restricted Firmwares are original Samsung firmwares which have been released after 01 February 2010. These firmwares have been restricted in many ways by Samsung and have limited how much access one can gain inside their television's operating system. Here in the SamyGO community, we believe this is a deliberate effort to hinder and disable our software development efforts. It is probably also required by the copyright holders of certain parts of the encryption/decryption software for CI+.

Functions that have been removed by the release of these Restricted Firmwares are:
*ExLink Access , that allows us Serial connection to TV's bash line.
*Removal of Top Debug Menu that let us allow to configure every property of TV.
*Removal of u-boot code for that we use to run External firmwares and un-bricking TV.
*Removal of program copy and execution ability from USB disks.
*Removal of Alternative firmware firmware section to avoid reverting older firmwares.
*Additional security enhancements to avoid to flash hacked firmwares.

(*'''TODO: Anything that I forgot?")

If you are interested in applying any of the SamyGO software enhancements to your television's firmware, it's better not to have received any of these firmwares. However, do not despair if you have had your television crippled by these "updates". The ingenuity and hard work of the developers of the SamyGO community have found several work-arounds that will allow you to restore your television to an older firmware that allows SamyGO applications to run. They have also simplified and automated part of this process as much as it is legally possible.

Unfortunately, if you have a restricted firmware, you can't just plug and play. There are several steps that you need to take to gain back "ownership" of your television. Several steps are involved including, copying programs to your TV memory by using an open vulnerabilities such as the "Children Menu" hack or the Nurisam Trojan. This will allow you to move applications to TV and enjoy additional features currently no possible...

=How can I get access to my TV?=
Samsung televisions have an embedded operating system based on linux. When you turn your television on you are essentially operating a computer as a user. You are given limited access to core parts of the operating system by design. If you want more control of what your television you must give it commands to run additional pieces of software with the functionality you desire. To do this you need to obtain access to the television's operating system as a [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Superuser superuser or with root access].
To control any Linux-based system, you need root access to it (Administrator privileges in Windows). Depending on the type of TV and version of the firmware, this can be achieved in a number of ways. In the compatibility tables you can find the methods that have been used successfully for each type (The list is not complete yet, work in progress).
Depending on the firmware and television model you may be able to do this with a simple software installation from a USB drive or you may need to install modified firmware or may need to revert to an older version of firmware that has not been restricted by Samsung.
You can gain access to your televisions operating in several ways.Consult the compatibility table at the bottom of this page to determine which method you can use:

#'''USB''': Loading software from the USB port by flash drive. Restricted firmware has disallowed access to the built in functionality. This is also how modified firmware is flashed. A variation of this method of accessing your television is hotel@USB which is required for newer television models like the C series.
#'''Telnet''': For models with ethernet connectivity it is possible to gain telnet access via your computer network. Non ethernet models may also become network accessible by using a usb wi-fi dongle. This required that you have already obtained root acess and your your television has been modified to allow network access (less common way).
#'''Ex-link Port''' An Ex-link port or service port which allows direct connection from your computer to the television. Many TV models (A and B series) are accessible through a serial port, called Ex-link. This is a serial port, with a 3.5mm stereo jack as a connector port that is called "connector for service only" in your television manual. To use this port, you will need a serial cable with the right layout, which is given [[Enable_Serial_Console_on_non_CI%2B_Devices|'''here'''.]] On the same page you will find how to enter the service menu of your TV, at least for a number of older types of televisions. Newer models (like C series televisions) do not have this access mode. It would be wise to make or buy such a cable prior to changing your firmware in the event of a catastrophic event that requires this connection to recover your television functionality(unbrick your TV).

=SamyGO System Requirements=
#A television that is supported by SamyGo Software. See the [[Compatibility| compatibility list]] (Absence of your model '''does not mean''' that your model is absolutely not supported.)
#Your television must have a firmware software that is [[Is_my_TV_supported%3F|unrestricted]]. If your television is restricted, there a few steps that are required to unrestrict your television prior to using SamyGO apps.
#A computer with internet connection to download the required files.
#A little bit of courage and nerve to follow through the entire process.
#A USB drive formatted with FAT32. Note for windows users: DO '''NOT''' extract the files contained in the zip and rar files you download to an NTFS partition and then to your flash drive. Certain file attributes that are necessary for linux executable files and scripts are lost. A rule of thumb is ALWAYS extract the files you are going to use directly to the USB drive.
#If you're smart you'll also get a ex-link cable and take the previously stated necessary precautions (active debug and turn off watchdog in the service menu) to be ready in case the television gets bricked.

=Understanding SamyGO app vs. SamyGO firmware modification=

Many developers contribute to the SamyGO community and the goal of each application they develop is to enhance the functionality of your television. Applications can be typically be used in two ways:

# Standalone app
# Incorporation of the application function into the TV firmware

The first method does not require any firmware modifications unless you have restricted firmware. In that case you must first unrestrict your television's firmware before running a SamyGO app. You gain the functionality you want by running the app. For example if you like big yellow subtitles on your TV you can activate the app then watch your movie with big yellow subtitles.

The second method involves advanced scripting. Ingenious developers have developed some scripts that makes this process fairly simple and easy. Other scripts require careful editing of files inside your computer and should be done with caution. Bricking your TV is a possibility with the method.

So what's the difference between the two methods? You must activate the app each time your turn on your TV if you use a SamyGO app . A firmware modification is permanent and automatic, each time you turn on your TV. It may be harder to do but in the long run it saves you a lot of time.

=Firmware Modifications=
==Reverting back to unrestricted firmware==
Loading third party software has been limited with the latest versions of restricted firmware. If you are in the lucky group of television owners with unrestricted firmware then you can skip this section, you are in luck and can stop worrying about firmware restrictions! If your are in the unlucky group of restricted firmware (usually any firmware after dated updated in 2010) then you must revert back to an unrestricted firmware first prior running any SamyGO applications on your TV. Developers at SamyGO have made this a fairly simple process by using a script that automates this process. A list of supported television models and detailed instructions can be [[Forced_revert_back_to_older_firmware| found here]]. Please review all this in detail prior to proceeding with any modifications or running any scripts.

==Patching Firmware with the SamyGO Firmware Patcher==
B-series models (Non CI+) with older firmwares (pre february 2010) have firmware update files which are only trivially encrypted by Samsung and can be modified to allow additional functionality.The [[SamyGO_Firmware_Patcher| SamyGO firmware patch script]] is based on python a computer programming language and changes some of the startup scripts inside of the firmware. This allows additional functionality in the firmware.
Such functionality includes
# Applies the [[Video_AR_Fix|AR v1 Fix]]. This properly resizes the picture proportions n Samsung B series TVs
# Allows you to increase the size of srt subtitles shown in movie playback and
# Subtitle color can change as well. SamyGO favorite is yellow, (ARGB code for yellow is: 0xFFFFFF00, for original color: 0xFFF0F0F0)
# Telnet, advanced or patch.

Once the script completes you will have a new modified firmware with the aforementioned modifications. Once you flash this modified software to your television, you will enjoy the above enhancements but will also be able to run additional software which will enhance your television's functionality even further. This modified firmware makes it much easier to gain root access through [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Telnet telnet].

==Flashing your modified firmware==
This is outlined in your service manual.
#Make sure your firmware is copied to the root of your FAT32 formatted USB drive.
#You can reach the software upgrade menu from your remote control: Menu->Help->Software Upgrade->USB
#You get a pause for 30 secs while your TV searches for a valid firmware.
#Install your modified firmware.
#Remember altering your firmware and trying to install it carried risk of permanent damage. Please read the wiki and become acquainted with what you are trying to do.

If you are more adventurous and feel confident enough you can also update the firmware by direct access by using the exlink cable. Read about this: [[Enable_Serial_Console_on_non_CI%2B_Devices]].

=Using Content Library apps=

If you have flashed the modified firmware or if you have an unrestricted firmware you can start playing and enjoying the [[Content_Library_applications_list|SamyGO applications]].
There is a [[Content_Library_applications_list|wiki page]] where a list of apps can be found. This page typically has a brief description of the app functionality, a link to download the file as well as a link to the forum where the develop seeks, feedback, can help with troubleshooting etc.

To run an app you should extract it directly to the root of your FAT32 formatted flash drive. Common extraction programs are winzip or winrar. You plug your Flash drive into your TV USB port. If your TV is turned on a popup will appear that will prompt you to select: Media play, content library or software upgrade. Select Content Library.
In the content library menu select USB (left hand side) and move your highlighter to the games and/or children. You should see a list of the apps on your flash drive.

You have two options here. You can run the app from the flash drive or you can copy the app to the television internal memory. To run an app highlight it, hit enter on your remote and then play. If you don't get an error message then your app should be running.
Some apps run into problems if your USB flash drive is not fast enough to convey data. Preferably these are the apps you want to install, i.e. copy on your TV internal memory.

A good app to start with is the SamyGO Extensions pack. Read about it [[SamyGO_Extensions_Pack|here]].

=Using Internet@TV =

Internet@TV is the name Samsung has given to their latest television appliances which converge the internet and televisions in once device. They are a collection of Samsung apps which due to their graphical user interface are called widgets. Samsung, in its short-sightedness decided that some of the newer widgets would not be made available to older television model owners. However these older televisions (B-series) can actually run the new widgets included in the C-series. Examples of these new widgets include: Google Maps, Facebook, USA today News etc. You can install widgets your own widgets by setting up a webserver on your home computer.

=Compatibility table (just for evaluation purposes)=
Below is a first draft of a new version of a comprehensive compatibility table for SamyGO. It is here for evaluation purposes, please feel free to comment on it in the forum. Since this is a still a draft, not all links are there yet, or working. Also probably not all models have been put in yet, and the ones that are there have not yet been completed, I'm still working on it (especially finding the links into the forum pages is a tough job).

The main changes are:

removal of the display type (I think you know what you bought)

Indication of access routes with letters.

combination of a whole bunch of options into a few columns

Oh, and never mind the thin blank lines in the table, they're just empty table entries.

Note: The SamyGO project is compatible with most of the other LN, LA, UN, or UA model TV's. We just haven't tested them yet. No need to get worried about that.

NFS support is built-in to the firmware, the cifs kernel module causes a panic (I will try compiling my own later) and I don't like UPnP so I didn't even try it out.

SamyGO for DUMMIES

2011-01-28T22:29:17Z

Rhesus98: /* SamyGO System Requirements */ clarification of tv supported firmware

I think we have a problem here in SamyGO. Older members tend to know a lot about embedded systems and their operating systems, but some newbies don't seem to know how to execute basic programs...
We thought that every one would know that, because of its relative simplicity. But we are wrong there. Also the Wiki pages are too overwhelming for some newbies.

I think we needed to create a wiki page `SamyGO for DUMMIES" and divert all newbies to that article before starting.
The article might mention about how you could execute programs on a TV or copy them to internal TV memory etc. Easy things, which we don't feel the need to talk a lot about.

So I created this page. Me and others will fill this area later on to show simple processes. Also put pictures about running steps of external applications from TV etc...

=Admin's Message for members to edit this page=
This is page for "dummies".

Please keep this page '''"simple as possible" and "modularized"''', means, do not put information if it's not really required and do not try to explain other article pages, just give a link to that article ( like Samba Mounting, firmware patcher etc...) Here needed to be just elementary information.

Thanks

=What is SamyGO?=
SamyGO started in the summer of 2009 as a thread at avsforum, under the title "Samsung LNXXA650 InfoLink hacking". This thread drew a lot of attention and slowly strayed away from its original topic towards rooting TV's and firmware hacking. It also got quite long, so Erdem U. Altinyurt and a few others decided to start a sourceforge project, specific for enhancement of the firmware of Samsung TV-sets, specifically aimed at models issued from 2008 onwards. Many people stayed on and came along from avsforum to sourceforge.

So that is what SamyGO is: A sourceforge project, aimed at enhancing firmware and functionality, specifically for Samsung TV models from 2008 onwards.

The activities of the SamyGO project comprise, but are not limited to:

#Gaining access to all available Samsung TV models from 2008 onwards (rooting).
#Active development of software extensions to enhance Samsung TV accessibility.
#Active development of applications to run on Samsung TV hardware.
#Giving support to project members who want to enhance their TV's functionality.

SamyGO is not a program that you can "just run" on your TV. Enhancing your hardware is not THAT simple. It requires some beginner and intermediate computer skills. The community will support you and is committed to helping you make this work for you. Remember however, that you need to do your part too. Read and try to understand. If you don't understand, ask in the appropriate forum. Proceed only once you understand what it is you are trying to achieve.

=I want more functionality from my TV. What do I need to do?=

# Find out whether your TV model is supported by SamyGO. See the supported models list at our homepage for that.
# Find out which firmware version your TV is equipped with. Newer firmwares are not (yet) supported by SamyGO. See also the supported models list.
# Checkout the access route for your TV, again, this is in the supported models list.
# Get access! Follow the tutorials in the Wiki pages for that.
# Install the software you like/need.
# Enjoy your improved equipment.

Each of these steps will be explained briefly.

=What is my TV model code and number ?=
[[File:Ue40b7020_model.png|right]]Model code and number are almost the same thing. The model number is a short form of the model code. This is a sample model code with the model number written bold.
'''UE40B7020'''WWXXC
You can read your model code from the sticker at the side or rear of your TV. Once you found the model, you can check whether it is supported by SamyGO [[Compatibility|here for A- and B-series]] and [[Compatibility_Table_for_C_series_TVs| here for C-series models.]]

=What is my firmware model and version ?=
You can learn your firmware number by entering the [[Service Menu]]. Read the detailed wiki page before proceeding with '''GREAT''' caution.

Do not change anything in the service menu until you understand what each setting does. The service menu is like entering the BIOS in a computer. It's where changes can be made to the "brain" that controls television functions. Making the wrong choice in a setting can result in a completely unexpected result and brick your television. To navigate the Service menu ''ONLY'' use the up and down button. Use enter to select and the previous button to return to the previous screen. '''DO NOT USE the RIGHT and LEFT''' buttons of your remote while navigating the service menu unless you know what you are trying to do. Using the left and right navigation butttons may change some variables that may easily brick your TV. If you do make a change to a menu, do not panic. Simply navigate in the opposite direction until the original variable is visible. This is by default the selected option.

To identify your firmware version you only need to enter the main screen of the service menu. You do not need to navigate to other Service menu pages. Identification of your firmware version is important to determine whether your television firmware is supported by SamyGO [[Compatibility|here for A- and B-series]] and here for[[Compatibility_Table_for_C_series_TVs| C-series models.]] You exit the Service menu by turning off the television.

=Is my TV a CI or a CI+ device?=
Samsung has implemented increasing encryption with each series of televsions it releases. Earlier models had no firmware encryption, subsequent firmware releases have [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/XOR_cipher XOR]cipher encryption and the latest firmware releases utilize both AES and XOR encryption. This encryption limits how much editing of a firmware can be done despite the fact that the software Samsung uses is opensource and [http://opensource.samsung.com/ publicly available] per GNU and GPL licensing terms. Knowing the type of firmware utilized is important because it determines what kind of access you can obtain in your television's operating system. There are two types of firmwares based on access, CI and CI+ devices.

A television from the C series is always a CI+ device. B series models have two possibilities: If there is a P in the last part of the model code, it is most likely a CI+ device. The firmware version installed on these TV's has the letters CIP in the firmware version code. Otherwise it is probably a CI device. A series devices do not have encryption.

Some examples:
LE40B652T4'''W'''XXU device uses T-CHL7DEUC firmware, which indicates it is a CI device.
LE40B652T2'''P'''XXU device uses T-CHLCIPDEUC firmware, which indicates it is a CI+ device.
UE40B7020W'''W'''XXC device uses T-CHU7DEUC firmware, which indicates it is a CI device.
'''TODO: Add some UN,UE and PS model "codes" here.'''

You can also find your firmware name and version number in the [[Service Menu]].
This is important to know because there are different software solutions depending on whether your TV is a CI or a CI+ device. Software developers frequently develop two versions of software to support these two types of firmwares. Knowing what kind of TV you have will allow you to select the appropriate SamyGO app.

=What are Restricted Firmwares?=
Restricted Firmwares are original Samsung firmwares which have been released after 01 February 2010. These firmwares have been restricted in many ways by Samsung and have limited how much access one can gain inside their television's operating system. Here in the SamyGO community, we believe this is a deliberate effort to hinder and disable our software development efforts. It is probably also required by the copyright holders of certain parts of the encryption/decryption software for CI+.

Functions that have been removed by the release of these Restricted Firmwares are:
*ExLink Access , that allows us Serial connection to TV's bash line.
*Removal of Top Debug Menu that let us allow to configure every property of TV.
*Removal of u-boot code for that we use to run External firmwares and un-bricking TV.
*Removal of program copy and execution ability from USB disks.
*Removal of Alternative firmware firmware section to avoid reverting older firmwares.
*Additional security enhancements to avoid to flash hacked firmwares.

(*'''TODO: Anything that I forgot?")

If you are interested in applying any of the SamyGO software enhancements to your television's firmware, it's better not to have received any of these firmwares. However, do not despair if you have had your television crippled by these "updates". The ingenuity and hard work of the developers of the SamyGO community have found several work-arounds that will allow you to restore your television to an older firmware that allows SamyGO applications to run. They have also simplified and automated part of this process as much as it is legally possible.

Unfortunately, if you have a restricted firmware, you can't just plug and play. There are several steps that you need to take to gain back "ownership" of your television. Several steps are involved including, copying programs to your TV memory by using an open vulnerabilities such as the "Children Menu" hack or the Nurisam Trojan. This will allow you to move applications to TV and enjoy additional features currently no possible...

=How can I get access to my TV?=
Samsung televisions have an embedded operating system based on linux. When you turn your television on you are essentially operating a computer as a user. You are given limited access to core parts of the operating system by design. If you want more control of what your television you must give it commands to run additional pieces of software with the functionality you desire. To do this you need to obtain access to the television's operating system as a [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Superuser superuser or with root access].
To control any Linux-based system, you need root access to it (Administrator privileges in Windows). Depending on the type of TV and version of the firmware, this can be achieved in a number of ways. In the compatibility tables you can find the methods that have been used successfully for each type (The list is not complete yet, work in progress).
Depending on the firmware and television model you may be able to do this with a simple software installation from a USB drive or you may need to install modified firmware or may need to revert to an older version of firmware that has not been restricted by Samsung.
You can gain access to your televisions operating in several ways.Consult the compatibility table at the bottom of this page to determine which method you can use:

#'''USB''': Loading software from the USB port by flash drive. Restricted firmware has disallowed access to the built in functionality. This is also how modified firmware is flashed. A variation of this method of accessing your television is hotel@USB which is required for newer television models like the C series.
#'''Telnet''': For models with ethernet connectivity it is possible to gain telnet access via your computer network. Non ethernet models may also become network accessible by using a usb wi-fi dongle. This required that you have already obtained root acess and your your television has been modified to allow network access (less common way).
#'''Ex-link Port''' An Ex-link port or service port which allows direct connection from your computer to the television. Many TV models (A and B series) are accessible through a serial port, called Ex-link. This is a serial port, with a 3.5mm stereo jack as a connector port that is called "connector for service only" in your television manual. To use this port, you will need a serial cable with the right layout, which is given [[Enable_Serial_Console_on_non_CI%2B_Devices|'''here'''.]] On the same page you will find how to enter the service menu of your TV, at least for a number of older types of televisions. Newer models (like C series televisions) do not have this access mode. It would be wise to make or buy such a cable prior to changing your firmware in the event of a catastrophic event that requires this connection to recover your television functionality(unbrick your TV).

=SamyGO System Requirements=
#A television that is supported by SamyGo Software. See the [[Compatibility| compatibility list]] (Absence of your model '''does not mean''' that your model is absolutely not supported.)
#Your television must have a firmware software that is [[Is_my_TV_supported%3F|unrestricted]]. If your television is restricted, there a few steps that are required to unrestrict your television prior to using SamyGO apps.
#A computer with internet connection to download the required files.
#A little bit of courage and nerve to follow through the entire process.
#A USB drive formatted with FAT32. NOTE for windows users: DO NOT extract the files contained in the zip and rar files you download to an NTFS partition and then to your flash drive. Certain file attributes that are necessary for linux executable files and scripts are lost. A rule of thumb is ALWAYS extract the files you are going to use directly to the USB drive.
#If you're smart you'll also get a ex-link cable and take the previously stated necessary precautions (active debug and turn off watchdog in the service menu) to be ready in case the television gets bricked.

=Understanding SamyGO app vs. SamyGO firmware modification=

Many developers contribute to the SamyGO community and the goal of each application they develop is to enhance the functionality of your television. Applications can be typically be used in two ways:

# Standalone app
# Incorporation of the application function into the TV firmware

The first method does not require any firmware modifications unless you have restricted firmware. In that case you must first unrestrict your television's firmware before running a SamyGO app. You gain the functionality you want by running the app. For example if you like big yellow subtitles on your TV you can activate the app then watch your movie with big yellow subtitles.

The second method involves advanced scripting. Ingenious developers have developed some scripts that makes this process fairly simple and easy. Other scripts require careful editing of files inside your computer and should be done with caution. Bricking your TV is a possibility with the method.

So what's the difference between the two methods? You must activate the app each time your turn on your TV if you use a SamyGO app . A firmware modification is permanent and automatic, each time you turn on your TV. It may be harder to do but in the long run it saves you a lot of time.

=Firmware Modifications=
==Reverting back to unrestricted firmware==
Loading third party software has been limited with the latest versions of restricted firmware. If you are in the lucky group of television owners with unrestricted firmware then you can skip this section, you are in luck and can stop worrying about firmware restrictions! If your are in the unlucky group of restricted firmware (usually any firmware after dated updated in 2010) then you must revert back to an unrestricted firmware first prior running any SamyGO applications on your TV. Developers at SamyGO have made this a fairly simple process by using a script that automates this process. A list of supported television models and detailed instructions can be [[Forced_revert_back_to_older_firmware| found here]]. Please review all this in detail prior to proceeding with any modifications or running any scripts.

==Patching Firmware with the SamyGO Firmware Patcher==
B-series models (Non CI+) with older firmwares (pre february 2010) have firmware update files which are only trivially encrypted by Samsung and can be modified to allow additional functionality.The [[SamyGO_Firmware_Patcher| SamyGO firmware patch script]] is based on python a computer programming language and changes some of the startup scripts inside of the firmware. This allows additional functionality in the firmware.
Such functionality includes
# Applies the [[Video_AR_Fix|AR v1 Fix]]. This properly resizes the picture proportions n Samsung B series TVs
# Allows you to increase the size of srt subtitles shown in movie playback and
# Subtitle color can change as well. SamyGO favorite is yellow, (ARGB code for yellow is: 0xFFFFFF00, for original color: 0xFFF0F0F0)
# Telnet, advanced or patch.

Once the script completes you will have a new modified firmware with the aforementioned modifications. Once you flash this modified software to your television, you will enjoy the above enhancements but will also be able to run additional software which will enhance your television's functionality even further. This modified firmware makes it much easier to gain root access through [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Telnet telnet].

==Flashing your modified firmware==
This is outlined in your service manual.
#Make sure your firmware is copied to the root of your FAT32 formatted USB drive.
#You can reach the software upgrade menu from your remote control: Menu->Help->Software Upgrade->USB
#You get a pause for 30 secs while your TV searches for a valid firmware.
#Install your modified firmware.
#Remember altering your firmware and trying to install it carried risk of permanent damage. Please read the wiki and become acquainted with what you are trying to do.

If you are more adventurous and feel confident enough you can also update the firmware by direct access by using the exlink cable. Read about this: [[Enable_Serial_Console_on_non_CI%2B_Devices]].

=Using Content Library apps=

If you have flashed the modified firmware or if you have an unrestricted firmware you can start playing and enjoying the [[Content_Library_applications_list|SamyGO applications]].
There is a [[Content_Library_applications_list|wiki page]] where a list of apps can be found. This page typically has a brief description of the app functionality, a link to download the file as well as a link to the forum where the develop seeks, feedback, can help with troubleshooting etc.

To run an app you should extract it directly to the root of your FAT32 formatted flash drive. Common extraction programs are winzip or winrar. You plug your Flash drive into your TV USB port. If your TV is turned on a popup will appear that will prompt you to select: Media play, content library or software upgrade. Select Content Library.
In the content library menu select USB (left hand side) and move your highlighter to the games and/or children. You should see a list of the apps on your flash drive.

You have two options here. You can run the app from the flash drive or you can copy the app to the television internal memory. To run an app highlight it, hit enter on your remote and then play. If you don't get an error message then your app should be running.
Some apps run into problems if your USB flash drive is not fast enough to convey data. Preferably these are the apps you want to install, i.e. copy on your TV internal memory.

A good app to start with is the SamyGO Extensions pack. Read about it [[SamyGO_Extensions_Pack|here]].

=Using Internet@TV =

Internet@TV is the name Samsung has given to their latest television appliances which converge the internet and televisions in once device. They are a collection of Samsung apps which due to their graphical user interface are called widgets. Samsung, in its short-sightedness decided that some of the newer widgets would not be made available to older television model owners. However these older televisions (B-series) can actually run the new widgets included in the C-series. Examples of these new widgets include: Google Maps, Facebook, USA today News etc. You can install widgets your own widgets by setting up a webserver on your home computer.

=Compatibility table (just for evaluation purposes)=
Below is a first draft of a new version of a comprehensive compatibility table for SamyGO. It is here for evaluation purposes, please feel free to comment on it in the forum. Since this is a still a draft, not all links are there yet, or working. Also probably not all models have been put in yet, and the ones that are there have not yet been completed, I'm still working on it (especially finding the links into the forum pages is a tough job).

The main changes are:

removal of the display type (I think you know what you bought)

Indication of access routes with letters.

combination of a whole bunch of options into a few columns

Oh, and never mind the thin blank lines in the table, they're just empty table entries.

Note: The SamyGO project is compatible with most of the other LN, LA, UN, or UA model TV's. We just haven't tested them yet. No need to get worried about that.

SamyGO for DUMMIES

2011-01-28T22:26:35Z

Rhesus98: /* How can I get access to my TV? */ elaboration of all tv access methods

I think we have a problem here in SamyGO. Older members tend to know a lot about embedded systems and their operating systems, but some newbies don't seem to know how to execute basic programs...
We thought that every one would know that, because of its relative simplicity. But we are wrong there. Also the Wiki pages are too overwhelming for some newbies.

I think we needed to create a wiki page `SamyGO for DUMMIES" and divert all newbies to that article before starting.
The article might mention about how you could execute programs on a TV or copy them to internal TV memory etc. Easy things, which we don't feel the need to talk a lot about.

So I created this page. Me and others will fill this area later on to show simple processes. Also put pictures about running steps of external applications from TV etc...

=Admin's Message for members to edit this page=
This is page for "dummies".

Please keep this page '''"simple as possible" and "modularized"''', means, do not put information if it's not really required and do not try to explain other article pages, just give a link to that article ( like Samba Mounting, firmware patcher etc...) Here needed to be just elementary information.

Thanks

=What is SamyGO?=
SamyGO started in the summer of 2009 as a thread at avsforum, under the title "Samsung LNXXA650 InfoLink hacking". This thread drew a lot of attention and slowly strayed away from its original topic towards rooting TV's and firmware hacking. It also got quite long, so Erdem U. Altinyurt and a few others decided to start a sourceforge project, specific for enhancement of the firmware of Samsung TV-sets, specifically aimed at models issued from 2008 onwards. Many people stayed on and came along from avsforum to sourceforge.

So that is what SamyGO is: A sourceforge project, aimed at enhancing firmware and functionality, specifically for Samsung TV models from 2008 onwards.

The activities of the SamyGO project comprise, but are not limited to:

#Gaining access to all available Samsung TV models from 2008 onwards (rooting).
#Active development of software extensions to enhance Samsung TV accessibility.
#Active development of applications to run on Samsung TV hardware.
#Giving support to project members who want to enhance their TV's functionality.

SamyGO is not a program that you can "just run" on your TV. Enhancing your hardware is not THAT simple. It requires some beginner and intermediate computer skills. The community will support you and is committed to helping you make this work for you. Remember however, that you need to do your part too. Read and try to understand. If you don't understand, ask in the appropriate forum. Proceed only once you understand what it is you are trying to achieve.

=I want more functionality from my TV. What do I need to do?=

# Find out whether your TV model is supported by SamyGO. See the supported models list at our homepage for that.
# Find out which firmware version your TV is equipped with. Newer firmwares are not (yet) supported by SamyGO. See also the supported models list.
# Checkout the access route for your TV, again, this is in the supported models list.
# Get access! Follow the tutorials in the Wiki pages for that.
# Install the software you like/need.
# Enjoy your improved equipment.

Each of these steps will be explained briefly.

=What is my TV model code and number ?=
[[File:Ue40b7020_model.png|right]]Model code and number are almost the same thing. The model number is a short form of the model code. This is a sample model code with the model number written bold.
'''UE40B7020'''WWXXC
You can read your model code from the sticker at the side or rear of your TV. Once you found the model, you can check whether it is supported by SamyGO [[Compatibility|here for A- and B-series]] and [[Compatibility_Table_for_C_series_TVs| here for C-series models.]]

=What is my firmware model and version ?=
You can learn your firmware number by entering the [[Service Menu]]. Read the detailed wiki page before proceeding with '''GREAT''' caution.

Do not change anything in the service menu until you understand what each setting does. The service menu is like entering the BIOS in a computer. It's where changes can be made to the "brain" that controls television functions. Making the wrong choice in a setting can result in a completely unexpected result and brick your television. To navigate the Service menu ''ONLY'' use the up and down button. Use enter to select and the previous button to return to the previous screen. '''DO NOT USE the RIGHT and LEFT''' buttons of your remote while navigating the service menu unless you know what you are trying to do. Using the left and right navigation butttons may change some variables that may easily brick your TV. If you do make a change to a menu, do not panic. Simply navigate in the opposite direction until the original variable is visible. This is by default the selected option.

To identify your firmware version you only need to enter the main screen of the service menu. You do not need to navigate to other Service menu pages. Identification of your firmware version is important to determine whether your television firmware is supported by SamyGO [[Compatibility|here for A- and B-series]] and here for[[Compatibility_Table_for_C_series_TVs| C-series models.]] You exit the Service menu by turning off the television.

=Is my TV a CI or a CI+ device?=
Samsung has implemented increasing encryption with each series of televsions it releases. Earlier models had no firmware encryption, subsequent firmware releases have [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/XOR_cipher XOR]cipher encryption and the latest firmware releases utilize both AES and XOR encryption. This encryption limits how much editing of a firmware can be done despite the fact that the software Samsung uses is opensource and [http://opensource.samsung.com/ publicly available] per GNU and GPL licensing terms. Knowing the type of firmware utilized is important because it determines what kind of access you can obtain in your television's operating system. There are two types of firmwares based on access, CI and CI+ devices.

A television from the C series is always a CI+ device. B series models have two possibilities: If there is a P in the last part of the model code, it is most likely a CI+ device. The firmware version installed on these TV's has the letters CIP in the firmware version code. Otherwise it is probably a CI device. A series devices do not have encryption.

Some examples:
LE40B652T4'''W'''XXU device uses T-CHL7DEUC firmware, which indicates it is a CI device.
LE40B652T2'''P'''XXU device uses T-CHLCIPDEUC firmware, which indicates it is a CI+ device.
UE40B7020W'''W'''XXC device uses T-CHU7DEUC firmware, which indicates it is a CI device.
'''TODO: Add some UN,UE and PS model "codes" here.'''

You can also find your firmware name and version number in the [[Service Menu]].
This is important to know because there are different software solutions depending on whether your TV is a CI or a CI+ device. Software developers frequently develop two versions of software to support these two types of firmwares. Knowing what kind of TV you have will allow you to select the appropriate SamyGO app.

=What are Restricted Firmwares?=
Restricted Firmwares are original Samsung firmwares which have been released after 01 February 2010. These firmwares have been restricted in many ways by Samsung and have limited how much access one can gain inside their television's operating system. Here in the SamyGO community, we believe this is a deliberate effort to hinder and disable our software development efforts. It is probably also required by the copyright holders of certain parts of the encryption/decryption software for CI+.

Functions that have been removed by the release of these Restricted Firmwares are:
*ExLink Access , that allows us Serial connection to TV's bash line.
*Removal of Top Debug Menu that let us allow to configure every property of TV.
*Removal of u-boot code for that we use to run External firmwares and un-bricking TV.
*Removal of program copy and execution ability from USB disks.
*Removal of Alternative firmware firmware section to avoid reverting older firmwares.
*Additional security enhancements to avoid to flash hacked firmwares.

(*'''TODO: Anything that I forgot?")

If you are interested in applying any of the SamyGO software enhancements to your television's firmware, it's better not to have received any of these firmwares. However, do not despair if you have had your television crippled by these "updates". The ingenuity and hard work of the developers of the SamyGO community have found several work-arounds that will allow you to restore your television to an older firmware that allows SamyGO applications to run. They have also simplified and automated part of this process as much as it is legally possible.

Unfortunately, if you have a restricted firmware, you can't just plug and play. There are several steps that you need to take to gain back "ownership" of your television. Several steps are involved including, copying programs to your TV memory by using an open vulnerabilities such as the "Children Menu" hack or the Nurisam Trojan. This will allow you to move applications to TV and enjoy additional features currently no possible...

=How can I get access to my TV?=
Samsung televisions have an embedded operating system based on linux. When you turn your television on you are essentially operating a computer as a user. You are given limited access to core parts of the operating system by design. If you want more control of what your television you must give it commands to run additional pieces of software with the functionality you desire. To do this you need to obtain access to the television's operating system as a [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Superuser superuser or with root access].
To control any Linux-based system, you need root access to it (Administrator privileges in Windows). Depending on the type of TV and version of the firmware, this can be achieved in a number of ways. In the compatibility tables you can find the methods that have been used successfully for each type (The list is not complete yet, work in progress).
Depending on the firmware and television model you may be able to do this with a simple software installation from a USB drive or you may need to install modified firmware or may need to revert to an older version of firmware that has not been restricted by Samsung.
You can gain access to your televisions operating in several ways.Consult the compatibility table at the bottom of this page to determine which method you can use:

#'''USB''': Loading software from the USB port by flash drive. Restricted firmware has disallowed access to the built in functionality. This is also how modified firmware is flashed. A variation of this method of accessing your television is hotel@USB which is required for newer television models like the C series.
#'''Telnet''': For models with ethernet connectivity it is possible to gain telnet access via your computer network. Non ethernet models may also become network accessible by using a usb wi-fi dongle. This required that you have already obtained root acess and your your television has been modified to allow network access (less common way).
#'''Ex-link Port''' An Ex-link port or service port which allows direct connection from your computer to the television. Many TV models (A and B series) are accessible through a serial port, called Ex-link. This is a serial port, with a 3.5mm stereo jack as a connector port that is called "connector for service only" in your television manual. To use this port, you will need a serial cable with the right layout, which is given [[Enable_Serial_Console_on_non_CI%2B_Devices|'''here'''.]] On the same page you will find how to enter the service menu of your TV, at least for a number of older types of televisions. Newer models (like C series televisions) do not have this access mode. It would be wise to make or buy such a cable prior to changing your firmware in the event of a catastrophic event that requires this connection to recover your television functionality(unbrick your TV).

=SamyGO System Requirements=
#A television that is supported by SamyGo Software. See the [[Compatibility| compatibility list]] (Absence of your model '''does not mean''' that your model is absolutely not supported.)
#Your television must have a firmware software that is [[Is_my_TV_supported%3F|unrestricted]]. (Even if it's restricted, you have things that can help you regain access.)
#A computer with internet connection to download the required files.
#A little bit of courage and nerve to follow through the entire process.
#A USB drive formatted with FAT32. NOTE for windows users: DO NOT extract the files contained in the zip and rar files you download to an NTFS partition and then to your flash drive. Certain file attributes that are necessary for linux executable files and scripts are lost. A rule of thumb is ALWAYS extract the files you are going to use directly to the USB drive.
#If you're smart you'll also get a ex-link cable and take the previously stated necessary precautions (active debug and turn off watchdog in the service menu) to be ready in case the television gets bricked.

=Understanding SamyGO app vs. SamyGO firmware modification=

Many developers contribute to the SamyGO community and the goal of each application they develop is to enhance the functionality of your television. Applications can be typically be used in two ways:

# Standalone app
# Incorporation of the application function into the TV firmware

The first method does not require any firmware modifications unless you have restricted firmware. In that case you must first unrestrict your television's firmware before running a SamyGO app. You gain the functionality you want by running the app. For example if you like big yellow subtitles on your TV you can activate the app then watch your movie with big yellow subtitles.

The second method involves advanced scripting. Ingenious developers have developed some scripts that makes this process fairly simple and easy. Other scripts require careful editing of files inside your computer and should be done with caution. Bricking your TV is a possibility with the method.

So what's the difference between the two methods? You must activate the app each time your turn on your TV if you use a SamyGO app . A firmware modification is permanent and automatic, each time you turn on your TV. It may be harder to do but in the long run it saves you a lot of time.

=Firmware Modifications=
==Reverting back to unrestricted firmware==
Loading third party software has been limited with the latest versions of restricted firmware. If you are in the lucky group of television owners with unrestricted firmware then you can skip this section, you are in luck and can stop worrying about firmware restrictions! If your are in the unlucky group of restricted firmware (usually any firmware after dated updated in 2010) then you must revert back to an unrestricted firmware first prior running any SamyGO applications on your TV. Developers at SamyGO have made this a fairly simple process by using a script that automates this process. A list of supported television models and detailed instructions can be [[Forced_revert_back_to_older_firmware| found here]]. Please review all this in detail prior to proceeding with any modifications or running any scripts.

==Patching Firmware with the SamyGO Firmware Patcher==
B-series models (Non CI+) with older firmwares (pre february 2010) have firmware update files which are only trivially encrypted by Samsung and can be modified to allow additional functionality.The [[SamyGO_Firmware_Patcher| SamyGO firmware patch script]] is based on python a computer programming language and changes some of the startup scripts inside of the firmware. This allows additional functionality in the firmware.
Such functionality includes
# Applies the [[Video_AR_Fix|AR v1 Fix]]. This properly resizes the picture proportions n Samsung B series TVs
# Allows you to increase the size of srt subtitles shown in movie playback and
# Subtitle color can change as well. SamyGO favorite is yellow, (ARGB code for yellow is: 0xFFFFFF00, for original color: 0xFFF0F0F0)
# Telnet, advanced or patch.

Once the script completes you will have a new modified firmware with the aforementioned modifications. Once you flash this modified software to your television, you will enjoy the above enhancements but will also be able to run additional software which will enhance your television's functionality even further. This modified firmware makes it much easier to gain root access through [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Telnet telnet].

==Flashing your modified firmware==
This is outlined in your service manual.
#Make sure your firmware is copied to the root of your FAT32 formatted USB drive.
#You can reach the software upgrade menu from your remote control: Menu->Help->Software Upgrade->USB
#You get a pause for 30 secs while your TV searches for a valid firmware.
#Install your modified firmware.
#Remember altering your firmware and trying to install it carried risk of permanent damage. Please read the wiki and become acquainted with what you are trying to do.

If you are more adventurous and feel confident enough you can also update the firmware by direct access by using the exlink cable. Read about this: [[Enable_Serial_Console_on_non_CI%2B_Devices]].

=Using Content Library apps=

If you have flashed the modified firmware or if you have an unrestricted firmware you can start playing and enjoying the [[Content_Library_applications_list|SamyGO applications]].
There is a [[Content_Library_applications_list|wiki page]] where a list of apps can be found. This page typically has a brief description of the app functionality, a link to download the file as well as a link to the forum where the develop seeks, feedback, can help with troubleshooting etc.

To run an app you should extract it directly to the root of your FAT32 formatted flash drive. Common extraction programs are winzip or winrar. You plug your Flash drive into your TV USB port. If your TV is turned on a popup will appear that will prompt you to select: Media play, content library or software upgrade. Select Content Library.
In the content library menu select USB (left hand side) and move your highlighter to the games and/or children. You should see a list of the apps on your flash drive.

You have two options here. You can run the app from the flash drive or you can copy the app to the television internal memory. To run an app highlight it, hit enter on your remote and then play. If you don't get an error message then your app should be running.
Some apps run into problems if your USB flash drive is not fast enough to convey data. Preferably these are the apps you want to install, i.e. copy on your TV internal memory.

A good app to start with is the SamyGO Extensions pack. Read about it [[SamyGO_Extensions_Pack|here]].

=Using Internet@TV =

Internet@TV is the name Samsung has given to their latest television appliances which converge the internet and televisions in once device. They are a collection of Samsung apps which due to their graphical user interface are called widgets. Samsung, in its short-sightedness decided that some of the newer widgets would not be made available to older television model owners. However these older televisions (B-series) can actually run the new widgets included in the C-series. Examples of these new widgets include: Google Maps, Facebook, USA today News etc. You can install widgets your own widgets by setting up a webserver on your home computer.

You may want to try out one of member's website who has pics and [http://translate.google.com/translate?hl=us&sl=pl&tl=en&u=http://moras86.ugu.pl/samsung/faq/%23Internet_widgets step by step instructions].

=Using Hotel@USB =
'''TODO'''


=Compatibility table (just for evaluation purposes)=
Below is a first draft of a new version of a comprehensive compatibility table for SamyGO. It is here for evaluation purposes, please feel free to comment on it in the forum. Since this is a still a draft, not all links are there yet, or working. Also probably not all models have been put in yet, and the ones that are there have not yet been completed, I'm still working on it (especially finding the links into the forum pages is a tough job).

The main changes are:

removal of the display type (I think you know what you bought)

Indication of access routes with letters.

combination of a whole bunch of options into a few columns

Oh, and never mind the thin blank lines in the table, they're just empty table entries.

Note: The SamyGO project is compatible with most of the other LN, LA, UN, or UA model TV's. We just haven't tested them yet. No need to get worried about that.

SamyGO for DUMMIES

2011-01-28T22:15:10Z

Rhesus98: /* The Ex-Link port */ incorporate this section into methods of tv accessibility

I think we have a problem here in SamyGO. Older members tend to know a lot about embedded systems and their operating systems, but some newbies don't seem to know how to execute basic programs...
We thought that every one would know that, because of its relative simplicity. But we are wrong there. Also the Wiki pages are too overwhelming for some newbies.

I think we needed to create a wiki page `SamyGO for DUMMIES" and divert all newbies to that article before starting.
The article might mention about how you could execute programs on a TV or copy them to internal TV memory etc. Easy things, which we don't feel the need to talk a lot about.

So I created this page. Me and others will fill this area later on to show simple processes. Also put pictures about running steps of external applications from TV etc...

=Admin's Message for members to edit this page=
This is page for "dummies".

Please keep this page '''"simple as possible" and "modularized"''', means, do not put information if it's not really required and do not try to explain other article pages, just give a link to that article ( like Samba Mounting, firmware patcher etc...) Here needed to be just elementary information.

Thanks

=What is SamyGO?=
SamyGO started in the summer of 2009 as a thread at avsforum, under the title "Samsung LNXXA650 InfoLink hacking". This thread drew a lot of attention and slowly strayed away from its original topic towards rooting TV's and firmware hacking. It also got quite long, so Erdem U. Altinyurt and a few others decided to start a sourceforge project, specific for enhancement of the firmware of Samsung TV-sets, specifically aimed at models issued from 2008 onwards. Many people stayed on and came along from avsforum to sourceforge.

So that is what SamyGO is: A sourceforge project, aimed at enhancing firmware and functionality, specifically for Samsung TV models from 2008 onwards.

The activities of the SamyGO project comprise, but are not limited to:

#Gaining access to all available Samsung TV models from 2008 onwards (rooting).
#Active development of software extensions to enhance Samsung TV accessibility.
#Active development of applications to run on Samsung TV hardware.
#Giving support to project members who want to enhance their TV's functionality.

SamyGO is not a program that you can "just run" on your TV. Enhancing your hardware is not THAT simple. It requires some beginner and intermediate computer skills. The community will support you and is committed to helping you make this work for you. Remember however, that you need to do your part too. Read and try to understand. If you don't understand, ask in the appropriate forum. Proceed only once you understand what it is you are trying to achieve.

=I want more functionality from my TV. What do I need to do?=

# Find out whether your TV model is supported by SamyGO. See the supported models list at our homepage for that.
# Find out which firmware version your TV is equipped with. Newer firmwares are not (yet) supported by SamyGO. See also the supported models list.
# Checkout the access route for your TV, again, this is in the supported models list.
# Get access! Follow the tutorials in the Wiki pages for that.
# Install the software you like/need.
# Enjoy your improved equipment.

Each of these steps will be explained briefly.

=What is my TV model code and number ?=
[[File:Ue40b7020_model.png|right]]Model code and number are almost the same thing. The model number is a short form of the model code. This is a sample model code with the model number written bold.
'''UE40B7020'''WWXXC
You can read your model code from the sticker at the side or rear of your TV. Once you found the model, you can check whether it is supported by SamyGO [[Compatibility|here for A- and B-series]] and [[Compatibility_Table_for_C_series_TVs| here for C-series models.]]

=What is my firmware model and version ?=
You can learn your firmware number by entering the [[Service Menu]]. Read the detailed wiki page before proceeding with '''GREAT''' caution.

Do not change anything in the service menu until you understand what each setting does. The service menu is like entering the BIOS in a computer. It's where changes can be made to the "brain" that controls television functions. Making the wrong choice in a setting can result in a completely unexpected result and brick your television. To navigate the Service menu ''ONLY'' use the up and down button. Use enter to select and the previous button to return to the previous screen. '''DO NOT USE the RIGHT and LEFT''' buttons of your remote while navigating the service menu unless you know what you are trying to do. Using the left and right navigation butttons may change some variables that may easily brick your TV. If you do make a change to a menu, do not panic. Simply navigate in the opposite direction until the original variable is visible. This is by default the selected option.

To identify your firmware version you only need to enter the main screen of the service menu. You do not need to navigate to other Service menu pages. Identification of your firmware version is important to determine whether your television firmware is supported by SamyGO [[Compatibility|here for A- and B-series]] and here for[[Compatibility_Table_for_C_series_TVs| C-series models.]] You exit the Service menu by turning off the television.

=Is my TV a CI or a CI+ device?=
Samsung has implemented increasing encryption with each series of televsions it releases. Earlier models had no firmware encryption, subsequent firmware releases have [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/XOR_cipher XOR]cipher encryption and the latest firmware releases utilize both AES and XOR encryption. This encryption limits how much editing of a firmware can be done despite the fact that the software Samsung uses is opensource and [http://opensource.samsung.com/ publicly available] per GNU and GPL licensing terms. Knowing the type of firmware utilized is important because it determines what kind of access you can obtain in your television's operating system. There are two types of firmwares based on access, CI and CI+ devices.

A television from the C series is always a CI+ device. B series models have two possibilities: If there is a P in the last part of the model code, it is most likely a CI+ device. The firmware version installed on these TV's has the letters CIP in the firmware version code. Otherwise it is probably a CI device. A series devices do not have encryption.

Some examples:
LE40B652T4'''W'''XXU device uses T-CHL7DEUC firmware, which indicates it is a CI device.
LE40B652T2'''P'''XXU device uses T-CHLCIPDEUC firmware, which indicates it is a CI+ device.
UE40B7020W'''W'''XXC device uses T-CHU7DEUC firmware, which indicates it is a CI device.
'''TODO: Add some UN,UE and PS model "codes" here.'''

You can also find your firmware name and version number in the [[Service Menu]].
This is important to know because there are different software solutions depending on whether your TV is a CI or a CI+ device. Software developers frequently develop two versions of software to support these two types of firmwares. Knowing what kind of TV you have will allow you to select the appropriate SamyGO app.

=What are Restricted Firmwares?=
Restricted Firmwares are original Samsung firmwares which have been released after 01 February 2010. These firmwares have been restricted in many ways by Samsung and have limited how much access one can gain inside their television's operating system. Here in the SamyGO community, we believe this is a deliberate effort to hinder and disable our software development efforts. It is probably also required by the copyright holders of certain parts of the encryption/decryption software for CI+.

Functions that have been removed by the release of these Restricted Firmwares are:
*ExLink Access , that allows us Serial connection to TV's bash line.
*Removal of Top Debug Menu that let us allow to configure every property of TV.
*Removal of u-boot code for that we use to run External firmwares and un-bricking TV.
*Removal of program copy and execution ability from USB disks.
*Removal of Alternative firmware firmware section to avoid reverting older firmwares.
*Additional security enhancements to avoid to flash hacked firmwares.

(*'''TODO: Anything that I forgot?")

If you are interested in applying any of the SamyGO software enhancements to your television's firmware, it's better not to have received any of these firmwares. However, do not despair if you have had your television crippled by these "updates". The ingenuity and hard work of the developers of the SamyGO community have found several work-arounds that will allow you to restore your television to an older firmware that allows SamyGO applications to run. They have also simplified and automated part of this process as much as it is legally possible.

Unfortunately, if you have a restricted firmware, you can't just plug and play. There are several steps that you need to take to gain back "ownership" of your television. Several steps are involved including, copying programs to your TV memory by using an open vulnerabilities such as the "Children Menu" hack or the Nurisam Trojan.

=How can I get access to my TV?=
Samsung televisions have an embedded operating system based on linux. When you turn your television on you are essentially operating a computer as a user. You are given limited access to core parts of the operating system by design. If you want more control of what your television you must give it commands to run additional pieces of software with the functionality you desire. To do this you need to obtain access to the television's operating system as a [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Superuser superuser or with root access].
To control any Linux-based system, you need root access to it (Administrator privileges in Windows). Depending on the type of TV and version of the firmware, this can be achieved in a number of ways. In the compatibility tables you can find the methods that have been used successfully for each type (The list is not complete yet, work in progress).
Depending on the firmware and television model you may be able to do this with a simple software installation from a USB drive or you may need to install modified firmware or may need to revert to an older version of firmware that has not been restricted by Samsung.
You can gain access to your televisions operating in several ways.Consult the compatibility table at the bottom of this page to determine which method you can use:

#'''USB''': Loading software from the USB port by flash drive. Restricted firmware has disallowed access to the built in functionality. This is also how modified firmware is flashed.
#'''Telnet''': For models with ethernet connectivity it is possible to gain telnet access via your computer network. Non ethernet models may also become network accessible by using a usb wi-fi dongle. This required that you have already obtained root acess and your your television has been modified to allow network access (less common way).
#'''Ex-link Port''' An Ex-link port or service port which allows direct connection from your computer to the television.

The Ex-Link port
Many TV models are accessible through a serial port, called Ex-link. This port is addressed in the manuals as "connector for service only". It is a serial port, with a 3.5mm stereo jack as connector. To use it, you will need a serial cable with the right layout, which is given [[Enable_Serial_Console_on_non_CI%2B_Devices|'''here'''.]] On the same page you will find how to enter the service menu of your TV, at least for a number of older types. It would be wise to make or buy such a cable prior to changing your firmware in the event of a catastrophic event that requires this connection to recover your television functionality(unbrick your TV).

=SamyGO System Requirements=
#A television that is supported by SamyGo Software. See the [[Compatibility| compatibility list]] (Absence of your model '''does not mean''' that your model is absolutely not supported.)
#Your television must have a firmware software that is [[Is_my_TV_supported%3F|unrestricted]]. (Even if it's restricted, you have things that can help you regain access.)
#A computer with internet connection to download the required files.
#A little bit of courage and nerve to follow through the entire process.
#A USB drive formatted with FAT32. NOTE for windows users: DO NOT extract the files contained in the zip and rar files you download to an NTFS partition and then to your flash drive. Certain file attributes that are necessary for linux executable files and scripts are lost. A rule of thumb is ALWAYS extract the files you are going to use directly to the USB drive.
#If you're smart you'll also get a ex-link cable and take the previously stated necessary precautions (active debug and turn off watchdog in the service menu) to be ready in case the television gets bricked.

=Understanding SamyGO app vs. SamyGO firmware modification=

Many developers contribute to the SamyGO community and the goal of each application they develop is to enhance the functionality of your television. Applications can be typically be used in two ways:

# Standalone app
# Incorporation of the application function into the TV firmware

The first method does not require any firmware modifications unless you have restricted firmware. In that case you must first unrestrict your television's firmware before running a SamyGO app. You gain the functionality you want by running the app. For example if you like big yellow subtitles on your TV you can activate the app then watch your movie with big yellow subtitles.

The second method involves advanced scripting. Ingenious developers have developed some scripts that makes this process fairly simple and easy. Other scripts require careful editing of files inside your computer and should be done with caution. Bricking your TV is a possibility with the method.

So what's the difference between the two methods? You must activate the app each time your turn on your TV if you use a SamyGO app . A firmware modification is permanent and automatic, each time you turn on your TV. It may be harder to do but in the long run it saves you a lot of time.

=Firmware Modifications=
==Reverting back to unrestricted firmware==
Loading third party software has been limited with the latest versions of restricted firmware. If you are in the lucky group of television owners with unrestricted firmware then you can skip this section, you are in luck and can stop worrying about firmware restrictions! If your are in the unlucky group of restricted firmware (usually any firmware after dated updated in 2010) then you must revert back to an unrestricted firmware first prior running any SamyGO applications on your TV. Developers at SamyGO have made this a fairly simple process by using a script that automates this process. A list of supported television models and detailed instructions can be [[Forced_revert_back_to_older_firmware| found here]]. Please review all this in detail prior to proceeding with any modifications or running any scripts.

==Patching Firmware with the SamyGO Firmware Patcher==
B-series models (Non CI+) with older firmwares (pre february 2010) have firmware update files which are only trivially encrypted by Samsung and can be modified to allow additional functionality.The [[SamyGO_Firmware_Patcher| SamyGO firmware patch script]] is based on python a computer programming language and changes some of the startup scripts inside of the firmware. This allows additional functionality in the firmware.
Such functionality includes
# Applies the [[Video_AR_Fix|AR v1 Fix]]. This properly resizes the picture proportions n Samsung B series TVs
# Allows you to increase the size of srt subtitles shown in movie playback and
# Subtitle color can change as well. SamyGO favorite is yellow, (ARGB code for yellow is: 0xFFFFFF00, for original color: 0xFFF0F0F0)
# Telnet, advanced or patch.

Once the script completes you will have a new modified firmware with the aforementioned modifications. Once you flash this modified software to your television, you will enjoy the above enhancements but will also be able to run additional software which will enhance your television's functionality even further. This modified firmware makes it much easier to gain root access through [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Telnet telnet].

==Flashing your modified firmware==
This is outlined in your service manual.
#Make sure your firmware is copied to the root of your FAT32 formatted USB drive.
#You can reach the software upgrade menu from your remote control: Menu->Help->Software Upgrade->USB
#You get a pause for 30 secs while your TV searches for a valid firmware.
#Install your modified firmware.
#Remember altering your firmware and trying to install it carried risk of permanent damage. Please read the wiki and become acquainted with what you are trying to do.

If you are more adventurous and feel confident enough you can also update the firmware by direct access by using the exlink cable. Read about this: [[Enable_Serial_Console_on_non_CI%2B_Devices]].

=Using Content Library apps=

If you have flashed the modified firmware or if you have an unrestricted firmware you can start playing and enjoying the [[Content_Library_applications_list|SamyGO applications]].
There is a [[Content_Library_applications_list|wiki page]] where a list of apps can be found. This page typically has a brief description of the app functionality, a link to download the file as well as a link to the forum where the develop seeks, feedback, can help with troubleshooting etc.

To run an app you should extract it directly to the root of your FAT32 formatted flash drive. Common extraction programs are winzip or winrar. You plug your Flash drive into your TV USB port. If your TV is turned on a popup will appear that will prompt you to select: Media play, content library or software upgrade. Select Content Library.
In the content library menu select USB (left hand side) and move your highlighter to the games and/or children. You should see a list of the apps on your flash drive.

You have two options here. You can run the app from the flash drive or you can copy the app to the television internal memory. To run an app highlight it, hit enter on your remote and then play. If you don't get an error message then your app should be running.
Some apps run into problems if your USB flash drive is not fast enough to convey data. Preferably these are the apps you want to install, i.e. copy on your TV internal memory.

A good app to start with is the SamyGO Extensions pack. Read about it [[SamyGO_Extensions_Pack|here]].

=Using Internet@TV =

Internet@TV is the name Samsung has given to their latest television appliances which converge the internet and televisions in once device. They are a collection of Samsung apps which due to their graphical user interface are called widgets. Samsung, in its short-sightedness decided that some of the newer widgets would not be made available to older television model owners. However these older televisions (B-series) can actually run the new widgets included in the C-series. Examples of these new widgets include: Google Maps, Facebook, USA today News etc. You can install widgets your own widgets by setting up a webserver on your home computer.

=Compatibility table (just for evaluation purposes)=
Below is a first draft of a new version of a comprehensive compatibility table for SamyGO. It is here for evaluation purposes, please feel free to comment on it in the forum. Since this is a still a draft, not all links are there yet, or working. Also probably not all models have been put in yet, and the ones that are there have not yet been completed, I'm still working on it (especially finding the links into the forum pages is a tough job).

The main changes are:

removal of the display type (I think you know what you bought)

Indication of access routes with letters.

combination of a whole bunch of options into a few columns

Oh, and never mind the thin blank lines in the table, they're just empty table entries.

Note: The SamyGO project is compatible with most of the other LN, LA, UN, or UA model TV's. We just haven't tested them yet. No need to get worried about that.

SamyGO for DUMMIES

2011-01-28T00:52:25Z

Rhesus98: /* SamyGO System Requirements */

I think we have a problem here in SamyGO. Older members tend to know a lot about embedded systems and their operating systems, but some newbies don't seem to know how to execute basic programs...
We thought that every one would know that, because of its relative simplicity. But we are wrong there. Also the Wiki pages are too overwhelming for some newbies.

I think we needed to create a wiki page `SamyGO for DUMMIES" and divert all newbies to that article before starting.
The article might mention about how you could execute programs on a TV or copy them to internal TV memory etc. Easy things, which we don't feel the need to talk a lot about.

So I created this page. Me and others will fill this area later on to show simple processes. Also put pictures about running steps of external applications from TV etc...

=Admin's Message for members to edit this page=
This is page for "dummies".

Please keep this page '''"simple as possible" and "modularized"''', means, do not put information if it's not really required and do not try to explain other article pages, just give a link to that article ( like Samba Mounting, firmware patcher etc...) Here needed to be just elementary information.

Thanks

=What is SamyGO?=
SamyGO started in the summer of 2009 as a thread at avsforum, under the title "Samsung LNXXA650 InfoLink hacking". This thread drew a lot of attention and slowly strayed away from its original topic towards rooting TV's and firmware hacking. It also got quite long, so Erdem U. Altinyurt and a few others decided to start a sourceforge project, specific for enhancement of the firmware of Samsung TV-sets, specifically aimed at models issued from 2008 onwards. Many people stayed on and came along from avsforum to sourceforge.

So that is what SamyGO is: A sourceforge project, aimed at enhancing firmware and functionality, specifically for Samsung TV models from 2008 onwards.

The activities of the SamyGO project comprise, but are not limited to:

#Gaining access to all available Samsung TV models from 2008 onwards (rooting).
#Active development of software extensions to enhance Samsung TV accessibility.
#Active development of applications to run on Samsung TV hardware.
#Giving support to project members who want to enhance their TV's functionality.

SamyGO is not a program that you can "just run" on your TV. Enhancing your hardware is not THAT simple. It requires some beginner and intermediate computer skills. The community will support you and is committed to helping you make this work for you. Remember however, that you need to do your part too. Read and try to understand. If you don't understand, ask in the appropriate forum. Proceed only once you understand what it is you are trying to achieve.

=I want more functionality from my TV. What do I need to do?=

# Find out whether your TV model is supported by SamyGO. See the supported models list at our homepage for that.
# Find out which firmware version your TV is equipped with. Newer firmwares are not (yet) supported by SamyGO. See also the supported models list.
# Checkout the access route for your TV, again, this is in the supported models list.
# Get access! Follow the tutorials in the Wiki pages for that.
# Install the software you like/need.
# Enjoy your improved equipment.

Each of these steps will be explained briefly.

=What is my TV model code and number ?=
[[File:Ue40b7020_model.png|right]]Model code and number are almost the same thing. The model number is a short form of the model code. This is a sample model code with the model number written bold.
'''UE40B7020'''WWXXC
You can read your model code from the sticker at the side or rear of your TV. Once you found the model, you can check whether it is supported by SamyGO [[Compatibility|here for A- and B-series]] and [[Compatibility_Table_for_C_series_TVs| here for C-series models.]]

=What is my firmware model and version ?=
You can learn your firmware number by entering the [[Service Menu]]. Read the detailed wiki page before proceeding with '''GREAT''' caution.

Do not change anything in the service menu until you understand what each setting does. The service menu is like entering the BIOS in a computer. It's where changes can be made to the "brain" that controls television functions. Making the wrong choice in a setting can result in a completely unexpected result and brick your television. To navigate the Service menu ''ONLY'' use the up and down button. Use enter to select and the previous button to return to the previous screen. '''DO NOT USE the RIGHT and LEFT''' buttons of your remote while navigating the service menu unless you know what you are trying to do. Using the left and right navigation butttons may change some variables that may easily brick your TV. If you do make a change to a menu, do not panic. Simply navigate in the opposite direction until the original variable is visible. This is by default the selected option.

To identify your firmware version you only need to enter the main screen of the service menu. You do not need to navigate to other Service menu pages. Identification of your firmware version is important to determine whether your television firmware is supported by SamyGO [[Compatibility|here for A- and B-series]] and here for[[Compatibility_Table_for_C_series_TVs| C-series models.]] You exit the Service menu by turning off the television.

=Is my TV a CI or a CI+ device?=
Samsung has implemented increasing encryption with each series of televsions it releases. Earlier models had no firmware encryption, subsequent firmware releases have [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/XOR_cipher XOR]cipher encryption and the latest firmware releases utilize both AES and XOR encryption. This encryption limits how much editing of a firmware can be done despite the fact that the software Samsung uses is opensource and [http://opensource.samsung.com/ publicly available] per GNU and GPL licensing terms. Knowing the type of firmware utilized is important because it determines what kind of access you can obtain in your television's operating system. There are two types of firmwares based on access, CI and CI+ devices.

A television from the C series is always a CI+ device. B series models have two possibilities: If there is a P in the last part of the model code, it is most likely a CI+ device. The firmware version installed on these TV's has the letters CIP in the firmware version code. Otherwise it is probably a CI device. A series devices do not have encryption.

Some examples:
LE40B652T4'''W'''XXU device uses T-CHL7DEUC firmware, which indicates it is a CI device.
LE40B652T2'''P'''XXU device uses T-CHLCIPDEUC firmware, which indicates it is a CI+ device.
UE40B7020W'''W'''XXC device uses T-CHU7DEUC firmware, which indicates it is a CI device.
'''TODO: Add some UN,UE and PS model "codes" here.'''

You can also find your firmware name and version number in the [[Service Menu]].
This is important to know because there are different software solutions depending on whether your TV is a CI or a CI+ device. Software developers frequently develop two versions of software to support these two types of firmwares. Knowing what kind of TV you have will allow you to select the appropriate SamyGO app.

=What are Restricted Firmwares?=
Restricted Firmwares are original Samsung firmwares which have been released after 01 February 2010. These firmwares have been restricted in many ways by Samsung and have limited how much access one can gain inside their television's operating system. Here in the SamyGO community, we believe this is a deliberate effort to hinder and disable our software development efforts. It is probably also required by the copyright holders of certain parts of the encryption/decryption software for CI+.

Functions that have been removed by the release of these Restricted Firmwares are:
*ExLink Access , that allows us Serial connection to TV's bash line.
*Removal of Top Debug Menu that let us allow to configure every property of TV.
*Removal of u-boot code for that we use to run External firmwares and un-bricking TV.
*Removal of program copy and execution ability from USB disks.
*Removal of Alternative firmware firmware section to avoid reverting older firmwares.
*Additional security enhancements to avoid to flash hacked firmwares.

(*'''TODO: Anything that I forgot?")

If you are interested in applying any of the SamyGO software enhancements to your television's firmware, it's better not to have received any of these firmwares. However, do not despair if you have had your television crippled by these "updates". The ingenuity and hard work of the developers of the SamyGO community have found several work-arounds that will allow you to restore your television to an older firmware that allows SamyGO applications to run. They have also simplified and automated part of this process as much as it is legally possible.

Unfortunately, if you have a restricted firmware, you can't just plug and play. There are several steps that you need to take to gain back "ownership" of your television. Several steps are involved including, copying programs to your TV memory by using an open vulnerabilities such as the "Children Menu" hack or the Nurisam Trojan. This will allow you to move applications to TV and enjoy additional features currently no possible...

=How can I get access to my TV?=
Samsung televisions have an embedded operating system based on linux. When you turn your television on you are essentially operating a computer as a user. You are given limited access to core parts of the operating system by design. If you want more control of what your television you must give it commands to run additional pieces of software with the functionality you desire. To do this you need to obtain access to the television's operating system as a [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Superuser superuser or with root access].
To control any Linux-based system, you need root access to it (Administrator privileges in Windows). Depending on the type of TV and version of the firmware, this can be achieved in a number of ways. In the compatibility tables you can find the methods that have been used successfully for each type (The list is not complete yet, work in progress).
Depending on the firmware and television model you may be able to do this with a simple software installation from a USB drive or you may need to install modified firmware or may need to revert to an older version of firmware that has not been restricted by Samsung.
You can gain access to your televisions operating in several ways.Consult the compatibility table at the bottom of this page to determine which method you can use:

#'''USB''': Loading software from the USB port by flash drive. Restricted firmware has disallowed access to the built in functionality. This is also how modified firmware is flashed.
#'''Telnet''': For models with ethernet connectivity it is possible to gain telnet access via your computer network. Non ethernet models may also become network accessible by using a usb wi-fi dongle. This required that you have already obtained root acess and your your television has been modified to allow network access (less common way).
#'''Ex-link Port''' An Ex-link port or service port which allows direct connection from your computer to the television.

== The Ex-Link port ==
Many TV models are accessible through a serial port, called Ex-link. This port is addressed in the manuals as "connector for service only". It is a serial port, with a 3.5mm stereo jack as connector. To use it, you will need a serial cable with the right layout, which is given [[Enable_Serial_Console_on_non_CI%2B_Devices|'''here'''.]] On the same page you will find how to enter the service menu of your TV, at least for a number of older types. It would be wise to make or buy such a cable prior to changing your firmware in the event of a catastrophic event that requires this connection to recover your television functionality(unbrick your TV).

=SamyGO System Requirements=
#A television that is supported by SamyGo Software. See the [[Compatibility| compatibility list]] (Absence of your model '''does not mean''' that your model is absolutely not supported.)
#Your television must have a firmware software that is [[Is_my_TV_supported%3F|unrestricted]]. (Even if it's restricted, you have things that can help you regain access.)
#A computer with internet connection to download the required files.
#A little bit of courage and nerve to follow through the entire process.
#A USB drive formatted with FAT32. NOTE for windows users: DO NOT extract the files contained in the zip and rar files you download to an NTFS partition and then to your flash drive. Certain file attributes that are necessary for linux executable files and scripts are lost. A rule of thumb is ALWAYS extract the files you are going to use directly to the USB drive.
#If you're smart you'll also get a ex-link cable and take the previously stated necessary precautions (active debug and turn off watchdog in the service menu) to be ready in case the television gets bricked.

=Understanding SamyGO app vs. SamyGO firmware modification=

Many developers contribute to the SamyGO community and the goal of each application they develop is to enhance the functionality of your television. Applications can be typically be used in two ways:

# Standalone app
# Incorporation of the application function into the TV firmware

The first method does not require any firmware modifications unless you have restricted firmware. In that case you must first unrestrict your television's firmware before running a SamyGO app. You gain the functionality you want by running the app. For example if you like big yellow subtitles on your TV you can activate the app then watch your movie with big yellow subtitles.

The second method involves advanced scripting. Ingenious developers have developed some scripts that makes this process fairly simple and easy. Other scripts require careful editing of files inside your computer and should be done with caution. Bricking your TV is a possibility with the method.

So what's the difference between the two methods? You must activate the app each time your turn on your TV if you use a SamyGO app . A firmware modification is permanent and automatic, each time you turn on your TV. It may be harder to do but in the long run it saves you a lot of time.

=Firmware Modifications=
==Reverting back to unrestricted firmware==
Loading third party software has been limited with the latest versions of restricted firmware. If you are in the lucky group of television owners with unrestricted firmware then you can skip this section, you are in luck and can stop worrying about firmware restrictions! If your are in the unlucky group of restricted firmware (usually any firmware after dated updated in 2010) then you must revert back to an unrestricted firmware first prior running any SamyGO applications on your TV. Developers at SamyGO have made this a fairly simple process by using a script that automates this process. A list of supported television models and detailed instructions can be [[Forced_revert_back_to_older_firmware| found here]]. Please review all this in detail prior to proceeding with any modifications or running any scripts.

==Patching Firmware with the SamyGO Firmware Patcher==
B-series models (Non CI+) with older firmwares (pre february 2010) have firmware update files which are only trivially encrypted by Samsung and can be modified to allow additional functionality.The [[SamyGO_Firmware_Patcher| SamyGO firmware patch script]] is based on python a computer programming language and changes some of the startup scripts inside of the firmware. This allows additional functionality in the firmware.
Such functionality includes
# Applies the [[Video_AR_Fix|AR v1 Fix]]. This properly resizes the picture proportions n Samsung B series TVs
# Allows you to increase the size of srt subtitles shown in movie playback and
# Subtitle color can change as well. SamyGO favorite is yellow, (ARGB code for yellow is: 0xFFFFFF00, for original color: 0xFFF0F0F0)
# Telnet, advanced or patch.

Once the script completes you will have a new modified firmware with the aforementioned modifications. Once you flash this modified software to your television, you will enjoy the above enhancements but will also be able to run additional software which will enhance your television's functionality even further. This modified firmware makes it much easier to gain root access through [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Telnet telnet].

==Flashing your modified firmware==
This is outlined in your service manual.
#Make sure your firmware is copied to the root of your FAT32 formatted USB drive.
#You can reach the software upgrade menu from your remote control: Menu->Help->Software Upgrade->USB
#You get a pause for 30 secs while your TV searches for a valid firmware.
#Install your modified firmware.
#Remember altering your firmware and trying to install it carried risk of permanent damage. Please read the wiki and become acquainted with what you are trying to do.

If you are more adventurous and feel confident enough you can also update the firmware by direct access by using the exlink cable. Read about this: [[Enable_Serial_Console_on_non_CI%2B_Devices]].

=Using Content Library apps=

If you have flashed the modified firmware or if you have an unrestricted firmware you can start playing and enjoying the [[Content_Library_applications_list|SamyGO applications]].
There is a [[Content_Library_applications_list|wiki page]] where a list of apps can be found. This page typically has a brief description of the app functionality, a link to download the file as well as a link to the forum where the develop seeks, feedback, can help with troubleshooting etc.

To run an app you should extract it directly to the root of your FAT32 formatted flash drive. Common extraction programs are winzip or winrar. You plug your Flash drive into your TV USB port. If your TV is turned on a popup will appear that will prompt you to select: Media play, content library or software upgrade. Select Content Library.
In the content library menu select USB (left hand side) and move your highlighter to the games and/or children. You should see a list of the apps on your flash drive.

You have two options here. You can run the app from the flash drive or you can copy the app to the television internal memory. To run an app highlight it, hit enter on your remote and then play. If you don't get an error message then your app should be running.
Some apps run into problems if your USB flash drive is not fast enough to convey data. Preferably these are the apps you want to install, i.e. copy on your TV internal memory.

A good app to start with is the SamyGO Extensions pack. Read about it [[SamyGO_Extensions_Pack|here]].

=Using Internet@TV =

Internet@TV is the name Samsung has given to their latest television appliances which converge the internet and televisions in once device. They are a collection of Samsung apps which due to their graphical user interface are called widgets. Samsung, in its short-sightedness decided that some of the newer widgets would not be made available to older television model owners. However these older televisions (B-series) can actually run the new widgets included in the C-series. Examples of these new widgets include: Google Maps, Facebook, USA today News etc. You can install widgets your own widgets by setting up a webserver on your home computer.

=Using Hotel@USB =
'''TODO'''


=Compatibility table (just for evaluation purposes)=
Below is a first draft of a new version of a comprehensive compatibility table for SamyGO. It is here for evaluation purposes, please feel free to comment on it in the forum. Since this is a still a draft, not all links are there yet, or working. Also probably not all models have been put in yet, and the ones that are there have not yet been completed, I'm still working on it (especially finding the links into the forum pages is a tough job).

The main changes are:

removal of the display type (I think you know what you bought)

Indication of access routes with letters.

combination of a whole bunch of options into a few columns

Oh, and never mind the thin blank lines in the table, they're just empty table entries.

Note: The SamyGO project is compatible with most of the other LN, LA, UN, or UA model TV's. We just haven't tested them yet. No need to get worried about that.

SamyGO for DUMMIES

2011-01-28T00:28:38Z

Rhesus98: /* SamyGO System Requirements */ changed header

I think we have a problem here in SamyGO. Older members tend to know a lot about embedded systems and their operating systems, but some newbies don't seem to know how to execute basic programs...
We thought that every one would know that, because of its relative simplicity. But we are wrong there. Also the Wiki pages are too overwhelming for some newbies.

I think we needed to create a wiki page `SamyGO for DUMMIES" and divert all newbies to that article before starting.
The article might mention about how you could execute programs on a TV or copy them to internal TV memory etc. Easy things, which we don't feel the need to talk a lot about.

So I created this page. Me and others will fill this area later on to show simple processes. Also put pictures about running steps of external applications from TV etc...

=Admin's Message for members to edit this page=
This is page for "dummies".

Please keep this page '''"simple as possible" and "modularized"''', means, do not put information if it's not really required and do not try to explain other article pages, just give a link to that article ( like Samba Mounting, firmware patcher etc...) Here needed to be just elementary information.

Thanks

=What is SamyGO?=
SamyGO started in the summer of 2009 as a thread at avsforum, under the title "Samsung LNXXA650 InfoLink hacking". This thread drew a lot of attention and slowly strayed away from its original topic towards rooting TV's and firmware hacking. It also got quite long, so Erdem U. Altinyurt and a few others decided to start a sourceforge project, specific for enhancement of the firmware of Samsung TV-sets, specifically aimed at models issued from 2008 onwards. Many people stayed on and came along from avsforum to sourceforge.

So that is what SamyGO is: A sourceforge project, aimed at enhancing firmware and functionality, specifically for Samsung TV models from 2008 onwards.

The activities of the SamyGO project comprise, but are not limited to:

#Gaining access to all available Samsung TV models from 2008 onwards (rooting).
#Active development of software extensions to enhance Samsung TV accessibility.
#Active development of applications to run on Samsung TV hardware.
#Giving support to project members who want to enhance their TV's functionality.

SamyGO is not a program that you can "just run" on your TV. Enhancing your hardware is not THAT simple. It requires some beginner and intermediate computer skills. The community will support you and is committed to helping you make this work for you. Remember however, that you need to do your part too. Read and try to understand. If you don't understand, ask in the appropriate forum. Proceed only once you understand what it is you are trying to achieve.

=I want more functionality from my TV. What do I need to do?=

# Find out whether your TV model is supported by SamyGO. See the supported models list at our homepage for that.
# Find out which firmware version your TV is equipped with. Newer firmwares are not (yet) supported by SamyGO. See also the supported models list.
# Checkout the access route for your TV, again, this is in the supported models list.
# Get access! Follow the tutorials in the Wiki pages for that.
# Install the software you like/need.
# Enjoy your improved equipment.

Each of these steps will be explained briefly.

=What is my TV model code and number ?=
[[File:Ue40b7020_model.png|right]]Model code and number are almost the same thing. The model number is a short form of the model code. This is a sample model code with the model number written bold.
'''UE40B7020'''WWXXC
You can read your model code from the sticker at the side or rear of your TV. Once you found the model, you can check whether it is supported by SamyGO [[Compatibility|here for A- and B-series]] and [[Compatibility_Table_for_C_series_TVs| here for C-series models.]]

=What is my firmware model and version ?=
You can learn your firmware number by entering the [[Service Menu]]. Read the detailed wiki page before proceeding with '''GREAT''' caution.

Do not change anything in the service menu until you understand what each setting does. The service menu is like entering the BIOS in a computer. It's where changes can be made to the "brain" that controls television functions. Making the wrong choice in a setting can result in a completely unexpected result and brick your television. To navigate the Service menu ''ONLY'' use the up and down button. Use enter to select and the previous button to return to the previous screen. '''DO NOT USE the RIGHT and LEFT''' buttons of your remote while navigating the service menu unless you know what you are trying to do. Using the left and right navigation butttons may change some variables that may easily brick your TV. If you do make a change to a menu, do not panic. Simply navigate in the opposite direction until the original variable is visible. This is by default the selected option.

To identify your firmware version you only need to enter the main screen of the service menu. You do not need to navigate to other Service menu pages. Identification of your firmware version is important to determine whether your television firmware is supported by SamyGO [[Compatibility|here for A- and B-series]] and here for[[Compatibility_Table_for_C_series_TVs| C-series models.]] You exit the Service menu by turning off the television.

=Is my TV a CI or a CI+ device?=
Samsung has implemented increasing encryption with each series of televsions it releases. Earlier models had no firmware encryption, subsequent firmware releases have [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/XOR_cipher XOR]cipher encryption and the latest firmware releases utilize both AES and XOR encryption. This encryption limits how much editing of a firmware can be done despite the fact that the software Samsung uses is opensource and [http://opensource.samsung.com/ publicly available] per GNU and GPL licensing terms. Knowing the type of firmware utilized is important because it determines what kind of access you can obtain in your television's operating system. There are two types of firmwares based on access, CI and CI+ devices.

A television from the C series is always a CI+ device. B series models have two possibilities: If there is a P in the last part of the model code, it is most likely a CI+ device. The firmware version installed on these TV's has the letters CIP in the firmware version code. Otherwise it is probably a CI device. A series devices do not have encryption.

Some examples:
LE40B652T4'''W'''XXU device uses T-CHL7DEUC firmware, which indicates it is a CI device.
LE40B652T2'''P'''XXU device uses T-CHLCIPDEUC firmware, which indicates it is a CI+ device.
UE40B7020W'''W'''XXC device uses T-CHU7DEUC firmware, which indicates it is a CI device.
'''TODO: Add some UN,UE and PS model "codes" here.'''

You can also find your firmware name and version number in the [[Service Menu]].
This is important to know because there are different software solutions depending on whether your TV is a CI or a CI+ device. Software developers frequently develop two versions of software to support these two types of firmwares. Knowing what kind of TV you have will allow you to select the appropriate SamyGO app.

=What are Restricted Firmwares?=
Restricted Firmwares are original Samsung firmwares which have been released after 01 February 2010. These firmwares have been restricted in many ways by Samsung and have limited how much access one can gain inside their television's operating system. Here in the SamyGO community, we believe this is a deliberate effort to hinder and disable our software development efforts. It is probably also required by the copyright holders of certain parts of the encryption/decryption software for CI+.

Functions that have been removed by the release of these Restricted Firmwares are:
*ExLink Access , that allows us Serial connection to TV's bash line.
*Removal of Top Debug Menu that let us allow to configure every property of TV.
*Removal of u-boot code for that we use to run External firmwares and un-bricking TV.
*Removal of program copy and execution ability from USB disks.
*Removal of Alternative firmware firmware section to avoid reverting older firmwares.
*Additional security enhancements to avoid to flash hacked firmwares.

(*'''TODO: Anything that I forgot?")

If you are interested in applying any of the SamyGO software enhancements to your television's firmware, it's better not to have received any of these firmwares. However, do not despair if you have had your television crippled by these "updates". The ingenuity and hard work of the developers of the SamyGO community have found several work-arounds that will allow you to restore your television to an older firmware that allows SamyGO applications to run. They have also simplified and automated part of this process as much as it is legally possible.

Unfortunately, if you have a restricted firmware, you can't just plug and play. There are several steps that you need to take to gain back "ownership" of your television. Several steps are involved including, copying programs to your TV memory by using an open vulnerabilities such as the "Children Menu" hack or the Nurisam Trojan. This will allow you to move applications to TV and enjoy additional features currently no possible...

=How can I get access to my TV?=
Samsung televisions have an embedded operating system based on linux. When you turn your television on you are essentially operating a computer as a user. You are given limited access to core parts of the operating system by design. If you want more control of what your television you must give it commands to run additional pieces of software with the functionality you desire. To do this you need to obtain access to the television's operating system as a [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Superuser superuser or with root access].
To control any Linux-based system, you need root access to it (Administrator privileges in Windows). Depending on the type of TV and version of the firmware, this can be achieved in a number of ways. In the compatibility tables you can find the methods that have been used successfully for each type (The list is not complete yet, work in progress).
Depending on the firmware and television model you may be able to do this with a simple software installation from a USB drive or you may need to install modified firmware or may need to revert to an older version of firmware that has not been restricted by Samsung.
You can gain access to your televisions operating in several ways.Consult the compatibility table at the bottom of this page to determine which method you can use:

#'''USB''': Loading software from the USB port by flash drive. Restricted firmware has disallowed access to the built in functionality. This is also how modified firmware is flashed.
#'''Telnet''': For models with ethernet connectivity it is possible to gain telnet access via your computer network. Non ethernet models may also become network accessible by using a usb wi-fi dongle. This required that you have already obtained root acess and your your television has been modified to allow network access (less common way).
#'''Ex-link Port''' An Ex-link port or service port which allows direct connection from your computer to the television.

== The Ex-Link port ==
Many TV models are accessible through a serial port, called Ex-link. This port is addressed in the manuals as "connector for service only". It is a serial port, with a 3.5mm stereo jack as connector. To use it, you will need a serial cable with the right layout, which is given [[Enable_Serial_Console_on_non_CI%2B_Devices|'''here'''.]] On the same page you will find how to enter the service menu of your TV, at least for a number of older types. It would be wise to make or buy such a cable prior to changing your firmware in the event of a catastrophic event that requires this connection to recover your television functionality(unbrick your TV).

=SamyGO System Requirements=
#A television that is supported by SamyGo Software. See the [[Compatibility| compatibility list]] (Absence of your model '''does not mean''' that your model is absolutely not supported.)
#Your television must have a firmware software that is [[Is_my_TV_supported%3F|unrestricted]]. (Even if it's restricted, you have things that can help you regain access.)
#A computer with internet connection to download the required files.
#A little bit of courage and nerve to follow through the entire process.
#A USB drive formatted with FAT32. NOTE for windows users: DO NOT extract the files contained in the zip and rar files you download to an NTFS partition and then to your flash drive. Certain file attributes that are necessary for linux executable files and scripts are lost. A rule of thumb is ALWAYS extract the files you are going to use directly to the USB drive.
#If you're smart you'll also get a ex-link cable and take the previously stated necessary precautions (active debug and turn off watchdog in the service menu) to be ready in case the television gets bricked.

==Reverting back to unrestricted firmware==
Loading third party software has been limited with the latest versions of restricted firmware. If you are in the lucky group of television owners with unrestricted firmware then you can skip this section, you are in luck and can stop worrying about firmware restrictions! If your are in the unlucky group of restricted firmware (usually any firmware after dated updated in 2010) then you must revert back to an unrestricted firmware first prior running any SamyGO applications on your TV. Developers at SamyGO have made this a fairly simple process by using a script that automates this process. A list of supported television models and detailed instructions can be [[Forced_revert_back_to_older_firmware| found here]]. Please review all this in detail prior to proceeding with any modifications or running any scripts.

==Patching Firmware with the SamyGO Firmware Patcher==
B-series models (Non CI+) with older firmwares (pre february 2010) have firmware update files which are only trivially encrypted by Samsung and can be modified to allow additional functionality.The [[SamyGO_Firmware_Patcher| SamyGO firmware patch script]] is based on python a computer programming language and changes some of the startup scripts inside of the firmware. This allows additional functionality in the firmware.
Such functionality includes
# Applies the [[Video_AR_Fix|AR v1 Fix]]. This properly resizes the picture proportions n Samsung B series TVs
# Allows you to increase the size of srt subtitles shown in movie playback and
# Subtitle color can change as well. SamyGO favorite is yellow, (ARGB code for yellow is: 0xFFFFFF00, for original color: 0xFFF0F0F0)
# Telnet, advanced or patch.

Once the script completes you will have a new modified firmware with the aforementioned modifications. Once you flash this modified software to your television, you will enjoy the above enhancements but will also be able to run additional software which will enhance your television's functionality even further. This modified firmware makes it much easier to gain root access through [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Telnet telnet].

==Flashing your modified firmware==
This is outlined in your service manual.
#Make sure your firmware is copied to the root of your FAT32 formatted USB drive.
#You can reach the software upgrade menu from your remote control: Menu->Help->Software Upgrade->USB
#You get a pause for 30 secs while your TV searches for a valid firmware.
#Install your modified firmware.
#Remember altering your firmware and trying to install it carried risk of permanent damage. Please read the wiki and become acquainted with what you are trying to do.

If you are more adventurous and feel confident enough you can also update the firmware by direct access by using the exlink cable. Read about this: [[Enable_Serial_Console_on_non_CI%2B_Devices]].

==Using Content Library applications ==

If you have flashed the modified firmware or if you have an unrestricted firmware you can start playing and enjoying the [[Content_Library_applications_list|SamyGO applications]].

===What are SamyGO apps?===

They are applications written by developers that enhance the functionality of your Samsung TV. These are not so different from the apps that Samsung includes in their television e.g. twitter, display weather, news etc.
The major difference is that SamyGO apps provide advanced functionality but because they are not formally supported by Samsung, they require a different process to be launched.

===Where can I find a content Library application?===
There is a [[Content_Library_applications_list|wiki page]] where a list of apps can be found. This page typically has a brief description of the app functionality, a link to download the file as well as a link to the forum where the develop seeks, feedback, can help with troubleshooting etc.

===How do I install a SamyGO app?===
After you download the app, you should extract it directly to the root of your FAT32 formatted flash drive. Common extraction programs are winzip or winrar. You plug your Flash drive in a TV USB port.
If your TV is turned on a popup will appear that will prompt you to select:
Media play, content libary or software upgrade. Select Content Library.
In the content library menu select USB (left hand side) and move your highlighter to the games and/or children. You should see a list of the apps on your flash drive.

You have two options here. You can run the app from the flash drive or you can copy the app to the television internal memory.
To run an app highlight it, hit enter on your remote and then play.
If you don't get an error message then your app should be running.

===Why should I install the app on my TV memory?===
Some apps run into problmes if your USB flash drive is not fast enough to convey data. Preferably these are the apps you want to install on your TV internal memory.

===I'm lost. There are so many apps on the list. Which one should I try first?===
This is a personal preference. If you are currently using DLNA to stream digital media to your TV then SamyGO Extensions is the app for you. Read about it [[SamyGO_Extensions_Pack|here]].

===I still don't get it. Can you walk me through this?===
If your TV is listed as supported, do not despair. You can get it to work.
One of our members maintains a page that has pictures and a step by step proces to launch a content libary app. [http://translate.google.com/translate?hl=us&sl=pl&tl=en&u=http%3A%2F%2Fmoras86.ugu.pl%2Fsamsung%2Ffaq%2F%23Internet_widgets Check it out here.] If all else fails, that's what the community support forum is there for.

==Using Internet@TV ==

===What is Internet@TV?===

Internet@TV is the name Samsung has given to their latest television appliances which converge the internet and televisions in once device. They are a collection of Samsung apps which due to their graphical user interface are called widgets. Samsung, in its short-sightedness decided that some of the newer widgets would not be made available to older television model owners. However these older televisions (B-series) can actually run the new widgets included in the C-series. Examples of these new widgets include: Google Maps, Facebook, USA today News etc. You can install widgets your own widgets by setting up a webserver on your home computer.

===I still don't get it. Can you help me?===
Well do not despair. The support forum is always available to assist you. You may want to try out one of member's website who has pics and [http://translate.google.com/translate?hl=us&sl=pl&tl=en&u=http://moras86.ugu.pl/samsung/faq/%23Internet_widgets step by step instructions].

'''TODO'''


=Compatibility table (just for evaluation purposes)=
Below is a first draft of a new version of a comprehensive compatibility table for SamyGO. It is here for evaluation purposes, please feel free to comment on it in the forum. Since this is a still a draft, not all links are there yet, or working. Also probably not all models have been put in yet, and the ones that are there have not yet been completed, I'm still working on it (especially finding the links into the forum pages is a tough job).

The main changes are:

removal of the display type (I think you know what you bought)

Indication of access routes with letters.

combination of a whole bunch of options into a few columns

Oh, and never mind the thin blank lines in the table, they're just empty table entries.

Note: The SamyGO project is compatible with most of the other LN, LA, UN, or UA model TV's. We just haven't tested them yet. No need to get worried about that.

NFS support is built-in to the firmware, the cifs kernel module causes a panic (I will try compiling my own later) and I don't like UPnP so I didn't even try it out.

SamyGO for DUMMIES

2011-01-28T00:26:28Z

Rhesus98: /* How can I get access to my TV? */

I think we have a problem here in SamyGO. Older members tend to know a lot about embedded systems and their operating systems, but some newbies don't seem to know how to execute basic programs...
We thought that every one would know that, because of its relative simplicity. But we are wrong there. Also the Wiki pages are too overwhelming for some newbies.

I think we needed to create a wiki page `SamyGO for DUMMIES" and divert all newbies to that article before starting.
The article might mention about how you could execute programs on a TV or copy them to internal TV memory etc. Easy things, which we don't feel the need to talk a lot about.

So I created this page. Me and others will fill this area later on to show simple processes. Also put pictures about running steps of external applications from TV etc...

=Admin's Message for members to edit this page=
This is page for "dummies".

Please keep this page '''"simple as possible" and "modularized"''', means, do not put information if it's not really required and do not try to explain other article pages, just give a link to that article ( like Samba Mounting, firmware patcher etc...) Here needed to be just elementary information.

Thanks

=What is SamyGO?=
SamyGO started in the summer of 2009 as a thread at avsforum, under the title "Samsung LNXXA650 InfoLink hacking". This thread drew a lot of attention and slowly strayed away from its original topic towards rooting TV's and firmware hacking. It also got quite long, so Erdem U. Altinyurt and a few others decided to start a sourceforge project, specific for enhancement of the firmware of Samsung TV-sets, specifically aimed at models issued from 2008 onwards. Many people stayed on and came along from avsforum to sourceforge.

So that is what SamyGO is: A sourceforge project, aimed at enhancing firmware and functionality, specifically for Samsung TV models from 2008 onwards.

The activities of the SamyGO project comprise, but are not limited to:

#Gaining access to all available Samsung TV models from 2008 onwards (rooting).
#Active development of software extensions to enhance Samsung TV accessibility.
#Active development of applications to run on Samsung TV hardware.
#Giving support to project members who want to enhance their TV's functionality.

SamyGO is not a program that you can "just run" on your TV. Enhancing your hardware is not THAT simple. It requires some beginner and intermediate computer skills. The community will support you and is committed to helping you make this work for you. Remember however, that you need to do your part too. Read and try to understand. If you don't understand, ask in the appropriate forum. Proceed only once you understand what it is you are trying to achieve.

=I want more functionality from my TV. What do I need to do?=

# Find out whether your TV model is supported by SamyGO. See the supported models list at our homepage for that.
# Find out which firmware version your TV is equipped with. Newer firmwares are not (yet) supported by SamyGO. See also the supported models list.
# Checkout the access route for your TV, again, this is in the supported models list.
# Get access! Follow the tutorials in the Wiki pages for that.
# Install the software you like/need.
# Enjoy your improved equipment.

Each of these steps will be explained briefly.

=What is my TV model code and number ?=
[[File:Ue40b7020_model.png|right]]Model code and number are almost the same thing. The model number is a short form of the model code. This is a sample model code with the model number written bold.
'''UE40B7020'''WWXXC
You can read your model code from the sticker at the side or rear of your TV. Once you found the model, you can check whether it is supported by SamyGO [[Compatibility|here for A- and B-series]] and [[Compatibility_Table_for_C_series_TVs| here for C-series models.]]

=What is my firmware model and version ?=
You can learn your firmware number by entering the [[Service Menu]]. Read the detailed wiki page before proceeding with '''GREAT''' caution.

Do not change anything in the service menu until you understand what each setting does. The service menu is like entering the BIOS in a computer. It's where changes can be made to the "brain" that controls television functions. Making the wrong choice in a setting can result in a completely unexpected result and brick your television. To navigate the Service menu ''ONLY'' use the up and down button. Use enter to select and the previous button to return to the previous screen. '''DO NOT USE the RIGHT and LEFT''' buttons of your remote while navigating the service menu unless you know what you are trying to do. Using the left and right navigation butttons may change some variables that may easily brick your TV. If you do make a change to a menu, do not panic. Simply navigate in the opposite direction until the original variable is visible. This is by default the selected option.

To identify your firmware version you only need to enter the main screen of the service menu. You do not need to navigate to other Service menu pages. Identification of your firmware version is important to determine whether your television firmware is supported by SamyGO [[Compatibility|here for A- and B-series]] and here for[[Compatibility_Table_for_C_series_TVs| C-series models.]] You exit the Service menu by turning off the television.

=Is my TV a CI or a CI+ device?=
Samsung has implemented increasing encryption with each series of televsions it releases. Earlier models had no firmware encryption, subsequent firmware releases have [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/XOR_cipher XOR]cipher encryption and the latest firmware releases utilize both AES and XOR encryption. This encryption limits how much editing of a firmware can be done despite the fact that the software Samsung uses is opensource and [http://opensource.samsung.com/ publicly available] per GNU and GPL licensing terms. Knowing the type of firmware utilized is important because it determines what kind of access you can obtain in your television's operating system. There are two types of firmwares based on access, CI and CI+ devices.

A television from the C series is always a CI+ device. B series models have two possibilities: If there is a P in the last part of the model code, it is most likely a CI+ device. The firmware version installed on these TV's has the letters CIP in the firmware version code. Otherwise it is probably a CI device. A series devices do not have encryption.

Some examples:
LE40B652T4'''W'''XXU device uses T-CHL7DEUC firmware, which indicates it is a CI device.
LE40B652T2'''P'''XXU device uses T-CHLCIPDEUC firmware, which indicates it is a CI+ device.
UE40B7020W'''W'''XXC device uses T-CHU7DEUC firmware, which indicates it is a CI device.
'''TODO: Add some UN,UE and PS model "codes" here.'''

You can also find your firmware name and version number in the [[Service Menu]].
This is important to know because there are different software solutions depending on whether your TV is a CI or a CI+ device. Software developers frequently develop two versions of software to support these two types of firmwares. Knowing what kind of TV you have will allow you to select the appropriate SamyGO app.

=What are Restricted Firmwares?=
Restricted Firmwares are original Samsung firmwares which have been released after 01 February 2010. These firmwares have been restricted in many ways by Samsung and have limited how much access one can gain inside their television's operating system. Here in the SamyGO community, we believe this is a deliberate effort to hinder and disable our software development efforts. It is probably also required by the copyright holders of certain parts of the encryption/decryption software for CI+.

Functions that have been removed by the release of these Restricted Firmwares are:
*ExLink Access , that allows us Serial connection to TV's bash line.
*Removal of Top Debug Menu that let us allow to configure every property of TV.
*Removal of u-boot code for that we use to run External firmwares and un-bricking TV.
*Removal of program copy and execution ability from USB disks.
*Removal of Alternative firmware firmware section to avoid reverting older firmwares.
*Additional security enhancements to avoid to flash hacked firmwares.

(*'''TODO: Anything that I forgot?")

If you are interested in applying any of the SamyGO software enhancements to your television's firmware, it's better not to have received any of these firmwares. However, do not despair if you have had your television crippled by these "updates". The ingenuity and hard work of the developers of the SamyGO community have found several work-arounds that will allow you to restore your television to an older firmware that allows SamyGO applications to run. They have also simplified and automated part of this process as much as it is legally possible.

Unfortunately, if you have a restricted firmware, you can't just plug and play. There are several steps that you need to take to gain back "ownership" of your television. Several steps are involved including, copying programs to your TV memory by using an open vulnerabilities such as the "Children Menu" hack or the Nurisam Trojan. This will allow you to move applications to TV and enjoy additional features currently no possible...

=How can I get access to my TV?=
Samsung televisions have an embedded operating system based on linux. When you turn your television on you are essentially operating a computer as a user. You are given limited access to core parts of the operating system by design. If you want more control of what your television you must give it commands to run additional pieces of software with the functionality you desire. To do this you need to obtain access to the television's operating system as a [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Superuser superuser or with root access].
To control any Linux-based system, you need root access to it (Administrator privileges in Windows). Depending on the type of TV and version of the firmware, this can be achieved in a number of ways. In the compatibility tables you can find the methods that have been used successfully for each type (The list is not complete yet, work in progress).
Depending on the firmware and television model you may be able to do this with a simple software installation from a USB drive or you may need to install modified firmware or may need to revert to an older version of firmware that has not been restricted by Samsung.
You can gain access to your televisions operating in several ways.Consult the compatibility table at the bottom of this page to determine which method you can use:

#'''USB''': Loading software from the USB port by flash drive. Restricted firmware has disallowed access to the built in functionality. This is also how modified firmware is flashed.
#'''Telnet''': For models with ethernet connectivity it is possible to gain telnet access via your computer network. Non ethernet models may also become network accessible by using a usb wi-fi dongle. This required that you have already obtained root acess and your your television has been modified to allow network access (less common way).
#'''Ex-link Port''' An Ex-link port or service port which allows direct connection from your computer to the television.

== The Ex-Link port ==
Many TV models are accessible through a serial port, called Ex-link. This port is addressed in the manuals as "connector for service only". It is a serial port, with a 3.5mm stereo jack as connector. To use it, you will need a serial cable with the right layout, which is given [[Enable_Serial_Console_on_non_CI%2B_Devices|'''here'''.]] On the same page you will find how to enter the service menu of your TV, at least for a number of older types. It would be wise to make or buy such a cable prior to changing your firmware in the event of a catastrophic event that requires this connection to recover your television functionality(unbrick your TV).

==SamyGO System Requirements==
#A television that is supported by SamyGo Software. See the [[Compatibility| compatibility list]] (Absence of your model '''does not mean''' that your model is absolutely not supported.)
#Your television must have a firmware software that is [[Is_my_TV_supported%3F|unrestricted]]. (Even if it's restricted, you have things that can help you regain access.)
#A computer with internet connection to download the required files.
#A little bit of courage and nerve to follow through the entire process.
#A USB drive formatted with FAT32. NOTE for windows users: DO NOT extract the files contained in the zip and rar files you download to an NTFS partition and then to your flash drive. Certain file attributes that are necessary for linux executable files and scripts are lost. A rule of thumb is ALWAYS extract the files you are going to use directly to the USB drive.
#If you're smart you'll also get a ex-link cable and take the previously stated necessary precautions (active debug and turn off watchdog in the service menu) to be ready in case the television gets bricked.

==Reverting back to unrestricted firmware==
Loading third party software has been limited with the latest versions of restricted firmware. If you are in the lucky group of television owners with unrestricted firmware then you can skip this section, you are in luck and can stop worrying about firmware restrictions! If your are in the unlucky group of restricted firmware (usually any firmware after dated updated in 2010) then you must revert back to an unrestricted firmware first prior running any SamyGO applications on your TV. Developers at SamyGO have made this a fairly simple process by using a script that automates this process. A list of supported television models and detailed instructions can be [[Forced_revert_back_to_older_firmware| found here]]. Please review all this in detail prior to proceeding with any modifications or running any scripts.

==Patching Firmware with the SamyGO Firmware Patcher==
B-series models (Non CI+) with older firmwares (pre february 2010) have firmware update files which are only trivially encrypted by Samsung and can be modified to allow additional functionality.The [[SamyGO_Firmware_Patcher| SamyGO firmware patch script]] is based on python a computer programming language and changes some of the startup scripts inside of the firmware. This allows additional functionality in the firmware.
Such functionality includes
# Applies the [[Video_AR_Fix|AR v1 Fix]]. This properly resizes the picture proportions n Samsung B series TVs
# Allows you to increase the size of srt subtitles shown in movie playback and
# Subtitle color can change as well. SamyGO favorite is yellow, (ARGB code for yellow is: 0xFFFFFF00, for original color: 0xFFF0F0F0)
# Telnet, advanced or patch.

Once the script completes you will have a new modified firmware with the aforementioned modifications. Once you flash this modified software to your television, you will enjoy the above enhancements but will also be able to run additional software which will enhance your television's functionality even further. This modified firmware makes it much easier to gain root access through [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Telnet telnet].

==Flashing your modified firmware==
This is outlined in your service manual.
#Make sure your firmware is copied to the root of your FAT32 formatted USB drive.
#You can reach the software upgrade menu from your remote control: Menu->Help->Software Upgrade->USB
#You get a pause for 30 secs while your TV searches for a valid firmware.
#Install your modified firmware.
#Remember altering your firmware and trying to install it carried risk of permanent damage. Please read the wiki and become acquainted with what you are trying to do.

If you are more adventurous and feel confident enough you can also update the firmware by direct access by using the exlink cable. Read about this: [[Enable_Serial_Console_on_non_CI%2B_Devices]].

==Using Content Library applications ==

If you have flashed the modified firmware or if you have an unrestricted firmware you can start playing and enjoying the [[Content_Library_applications_list|SamyGO applications]].

===What are SamyGO apps?===

They are applications written by developers that enhance the functionality of your Samsung TV. These are not so different from the apps that Samsung includes in their television e.g. twitter, display weather, news etc.
The major difference is that SamyGO apps provide advanced functionality but because they are not formally supported by Samsung, they require a different process to be launched.

===Where can I find a content Library application?===
There is a [[Content_Library_applications_list|wiki page]] where a list of apps can be found. This page typically has a brief description of the app functionality, a link to download the file as well as a link to the forum where the develop seeks, feedback, can help with troubleshooting etc.

===How do I install a SamyGO app?===
After you download the app, you should extract it directly to the root of your FAT32 formatted flash drive. Common extraction programs are winzip or winrar. You plug your Flash drive in a TV USB port.
If your TV is turned on a popup will appear that will prompt you to select:
Media play, content libary or software upgrade. Select Content Library.
In the content library menu select USB (left hand side) and move your highlighter to the games and/or children. You should see a list of the apps on your flash drive.

You have two options here. You can run the app from the flash drive or you can copy the app to the television internal memory.
To run an app highlight it, hit enter on your remote and then play.
If you don't get an error message then your app should be running.

===Why should I install the app on my TV memory?===
Some apps run into problmes if your USB flash drive is not fast enough to convey data. Preferably these are the apps you want to install on your TV internal memory.

===I'm lost. There are so many apps on the list. Which one should I try first?===
This is a personal preference. If you are currently using DLNA to stream digital media to your TV then SamyGO Extensions is the app for you. Read about it [[SamyGO_Extensions_Pack|here]].

===I still don't get it. Can you walk me through this?===
If your TV is listed as supported, do not despair. You can get it to work.
One of our members maintains a page that has pictures and a step by step proces to launch a content libary app. [http://translate.google.com/translate?hl=us&sl=pl&tl=en&u=http%3A%2F%2Fmoras86.ugu.pl%2Fsamsung%2Ffaq%2F%23Internet_widgets Check it out here.] If all else fails, that's what the community support forum is there for.

==Using Internet@TV ==

===What is Internet@TV?===

Internet@TV is the name Samsung has given to their latest television appliances which converge the internet and televisions in once device. They are a collection of Samsung apps which due to their graphical user interface are called widgets. Samsung, in its short-sightedness decided that some of the newer widgets would not be made available to older television model owners. However these older televisions (B-series) can actually run the new widgets included in the C-series. Examples of these new widgets include: Google Maps, Facebook, USA today News etc. You can install widgets your own widgets by setting up a webserver on your home computer.

===I still don't get it. Can you help me?===
Well do not despair. The support forum is always available to assist you. You may want to try out one of member's website who has pics and [http://translate.google.com/translate?hl=us&sl=pl&tl=en&u=http://moras86.ugu.pl/samsung/faq/%23Internet_widgets step by step instructions].

==Using Hotel@USB ==
'''TODO'''


=Compatibility table (just for evaluation purposes)=
Below is a first draft of a new version of a comprehensive compatibility table for SamyGO. It is here for evaluation purposes, please feel free to comment on it in the forum. Since this is a still a draft, not all links are there yet, or working. Also probably not all models have been put in yet, and the ones that are there have not yet been completed, I'm still working on it (especially finding the links into the forum pages is a tough job).

The main changes are:

removal of the display type (I think you know what you bought)

Indication of access routes with letters.

combination of a whole bunch of options into a few columns

Oh, and never mind the thin blank lines in the table, they're just empty table entries.

Note: The SamyGO project is compatible with most of the other LN, LA, UN, or UA model TV's. We just haven't tested them yet. No need to get worried about that.

SamyGO for DUMMIES

2011-01-28T00:16:57Z

Rhesus98: /* How many apps can I install on the internal memory of your TV? Do I still need the flash drive? */

I think we have a problem here in SamyGO. Older members tend to know a lot about embedded systems and their operating systems, but some newbies don't seem to know how to execute basic programs...
We thought that every one would know that, because of its relative simplicity. But we are wrong there. Also the Wiki pages are too overwhelming for some newbies.

I think we needed to create a wiki page `SamyGO for DUMMIES" and divert all newbies to that article before starting.
The article might mention about how you could execute programs on a TV or copy them to internal TV memory etc. Easy things, which we don't feel the need to talk a lot about.

So I created this page. Me and others will fill this area later on to show simple processes. Also put pictures about running steps of external applications from TV etc...

=Admin's Message for members to edit this page=
This is page for "dummies".

Please keep this page '''"simple as possible" and "modularized"''', means, do not put information if it's not really required and do not try to explain other article pages, just give a link to that article ( like Samba Mounting, firmware patcher etc...) Here needed to be just elementary information.

Thanks

=What is SamyGO?=
SamyGO started in the summer of 2009 as a thread at avsforum, under the title "Samsung LNXXA650 InfoLink hacking". This thread drew a lot of attention and slowly strayed away from its original topic towards rooting TV's and firmware hacking. It also got quite long, so Erdem U. Altinyurt and a few others decided to start a sourceforge project, specific for enhancement of the firmware of Samsung TV-sets, specifically aimed at models issued from 2008 onwards. Many people stayed on and came along from avsforum to sourceforge.

So that is what SamyGO is: A sourceforge project, aimed at enhancing firmware and functionality, specifically for Samsung TV models from 2008 onwards.

The activities of the SamyGO project comprise, but are not limited to:

#Gaining access to all available Samsung TV models from 2008 onwards (rooting).
#Active development of software extensions to enhance Samsung TV accessibility.
#Active development of applications to run on Samsung TV hardware.
#Giving support to project members who want to enhance their TV's functionality.

SamyGO is not a program that you can "just run" on your TV. Enhancing your hardware is not THAT simple. It requires some beginner and intermediate computer skills. The community will support you and is committed to helping you make this work for you. Remember however, that you need to do your part too. Read and try to understand. If you don't understand, ask in the appropriate forum. Proceed only once you understand what it is you are trying to achieve.

=I want more functionality from my TV. What do I need to do?=

# Find out whether your TV model is supported by SamyGO. See the supported models list at our homepage for that.
# Find out which firmware version your TV is equipped with. Newer firmwares are not (yet) supported by SamyGO. See also the supported models list.
# Checkout the access route for your TV, again, this is in the supported models list.
# Get access! Follow the tutorials in the Wiki pages for that.
# Install the software you like/need.
# Enjoy your improved equipment.

Each of these steps will be explained briefly.

=What is my TV model code and number ?=
[[File:Ue40b7020_model.png|right]]Model code and number are almost the same thing. The model number is a short form of the model code. This is a sample model code with the model number written bold.
'''UE40B7020'''WWXXC
You can read your model code from the sticker at the side or rear of your TV. Once you found the model, you can check whether it is supported by SamyGO [[Compatibility|here for A- and B-series]] and [[Compatibility_Table_for_C_series_TVs| here for C-series models.]]

=What is my firmware model and version ?=
You can learn your firmware number by entering the [[Service Menu]]. Read the detailed wiki page before proceeding with '''GREAT''' caution.

Do not change anything in the service menu until you understand what each setting does. The service menu is like entering the BIOS in a computer. It's where changes can be made to the "brain" that controls television functions. Making the wrong choice in a setting can result in a completely unexpected result and brick your television. To navigate the Service menu ''ONLY'' use the up and down button. Use enter to select and the previous button to return to the previous screen. '''DO NOT USE the RIGHT and LEFT''' buttons of your remote while navigating the service menu unless you know what you are trying to do. Using the left and right navigation butttons may change some variables that may easily brick your TV. If you do make a change to a menu, do not panic. Simply navigate in the opposite direction until the original variable is visible. This is by default the selected option.

To identify your firmware version you only need to enter the main screen of the service menu. You do not need to navigate to other Service menu pages. Identification of your firmware version is important to determine whether your television firmware is supported by SamyGO [[Compatibility|here for A- and B-series]] and here for[[Compatibility_Table_for_C_series_TVs| C-series models.]] You exit the Service menu by turning off the television.

=Is my TV a CI or a CI+ device?=
Samsung has implemented increasing encryption with each series of televsions it releases. Earlier models had no firmware encryption, subsequent firmware releases have [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/XOR_cipher XOR]cipher encryption and the latest firmware releases utilize both AES and XOR encryption. This encryption limits how much editing of a firmware can be done despite the fact that the software Samsung uses is opensource and [http://opensource.samsung.com/ publicly available] per GNU and GPL licensing terms. Knowing the type of firmware utilized is important because it determines what kind of access you can obtain in your television's operating system. There are two types of firmwares based on access, CI and CI+ devices.

A television from the C series is always a CI+ device. B series models have two possibilities: If there is a P in the last part of the model code, it is most likely a CI+ device. The firmware version installed on these TV's has the letters CIP in the firmware version code. Otherwise it is probably a CI device. A series devices do not have encryption.

Some examples:
LE40B652T4'''W'''XXU device uses T-CHL7DEUC firmware, which indicates it is a CI device.
LE40B652T2'''P'''XXU device uses T-CHLCIPDEUC firmware, which indicates it is a CI+ device.
UE40B7020W'''W'''XXC device uses T-CHU7DEUC firmware, which indicates it is a CI device.
'''TODO: Add some UN,UE and PS model "codes" here.'''

You can also find your firmware name and version number in the [[Service Menu]].
This is important to know because there are different software solutions depending on whether your TV is a CI or a CI+ device. Software developers frequently develop two versions of software to support these two types of firmwares. Knowing what kind of TV you have will allow you to select the appropriate SamyGO app.

=What are Restricted Firmwares?=
Restricted Firmwares are original Samsung firmwares which have been released after 01 February 2010. These firmwares have been restricted in many ways by Samsung and have limited how much access one can gain inside their television's operating system. Here in the SamyGO community, we believe this is a deliberate effort to hinder and disable our software development efforts. It is probably also required by the copyright holders of certain parts of the encryption/decryption software for CI+.

Functions that have been removed by the release of these Restricted Firmwares are:
*ExLink Access , that allows us Serial connection to TV's bash line.
*Removal of Top Debug Menu that let us allow to configure every property of TV.
*Removal of u-boot code for that we use to run External firmwares and un-bricking TV.
*Removal of program copy and execution ability from USB disks.
*Removal of Alternative firmware firmware section to avoid reverting older firmwares.
*Additional security enhancements to avoid to flash hacked firmwares.

(*'''TODO: Anything that I forgot?")

If you are interested in applying any of the SamyGO software enhancements to your television's firmware, it's better not to have received any of these firmwares. However, do not despair if you have had your television crippled by these "updates". The ingenuity and hard work of the developers of the SamyGO community have found several work-arounds that will allow you to restore your television to an older firmware that allows SamyGO applications to run. They have also simplified and automated part of this process as much as it is legally possible.

Unfortunately, if you have a restricted firmware, you can't just plug and play. There are several steps that you need to take to gain back "ownership" of your television. Several steps are involved including, copying programs to your TV memory by using an open vulnerabilities such as the "Children Menu" hack or the Nurisam Trojan. This will allow you to move applications to TV and enjoy additional features currently no possible...

=How can I get access to my TV?=
Samsung televisions have an embedded operating system based on linux. When you turn your television on you are essentially operating a computer as a user. You are given limited access to core parts of the operating system by design. If you want more control of what your television you must give it commands to run additional pieces of software with the functionality you desire. To do this you need to obtain access to the television's operating system as a [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Superuser superuser or with root access].
To control any Linux-based system, you need root access to it (Administrator privileges in Windows). Depending on the type of TV and version of the firmware, this can be achieved in a number of ways. In the compatibility tables you can find the methods that have been used successfully for each type (The list is not complete yet, work in progress).
Depending on the firmware and television model you may be able to do this with a simple software installation from a USB drive or you may need to install modified firmware or may need to revert to an older version of firmware that has not been restricted by Samsung.
You can gain access to your televisions operating in several ways.Consult the compatibility table at the bottom of this page to determine which method you can use:

#'''USB''': Loading software from the USB port by flash drive. Restricted firmware has disallowed access to the built in functionality. This is also how modified firmware is flashed.
#'''Telnet''': For models with ethernet connectivity it is possible to gain telnet access via your computer network. Non ethernet models may also become network accessible by using a usb wi-fi dongle. This required that you have already obtained root acess and your your television has been modified to allow network access (less common way).
#'''Ex-link Port''' An Ex-link port or service port which allows direct connection from your computer to the television.

== The Ex-Link port ==
Many TV models are accessible through a serial port, called Ex-link. This port is addressed in the manuals as "connector for service only". It is a serial port, with a 3.5mm stereo jack as connector. To use it, you will need a serial cable with the right layout, which is given [[Enable_Serial_Console_on_non_CI%2B_Devices|'''here'''.]] On the same page you will find how to enter the service menu of your TV, at least for a number of older types. It would be wise to make or buy such a cable prior to changing your firmware in the event of a catastrophic event that requires this connection to recover your television functionality(unbrick your TV).

==SamyGO System Requirements==
#A television that is supported by SamyGo Software. See the [[Compatibility| compatibility list]] (Absence of your model '''does not mean''' that your model is absolutely not supported.)
#Your television must have a firmware software that is [[Is_my_TV_supported%3F|unrestricted]]. (Even if it's restricted, you have things that can help you regain access.)
#A computer with internet connection to download the required files.
#A little bit of courage and nerve to follow through the entire process.
#A USB drive formatted with FAT32. NOTE for windows users: DO NOT extract the files contained in the zip and rar files you download to an NTFS partition and then to your flash drive. Certain file attributes that are necessary for linux executable files and scripts are lost. A rule of thumb is ALWAYS extract the files you are going to use directly to the USB drive.
#If you're smart you'll also get a ex-link cable and take the previously stated necessary precautions (active debug and turn off watchdog in the service menu) to be ready in case the television gets bricked.

==Reverting back to unrestricted firmware==
Loading third party software has been limited with the latest versions of restricted firmware. If you are in the lucky group of television owners with unrestricted firmware then you can skip this section, you are in luck and can stop worrying about firmware restrictions! If your are in the unlucky group of restricted firmware (usually any firmware after dated updated in 2010) then you must revert back to an unrestricted firmware first prior running any SamyGO applications on your TV. Developers at SamyGO have made this a fairly simple process by using a script that automates this process. A list of supported television models and detailed instructions can be [[Forced_revert_back_to_older_firmware| found here]]. Please review all this in detail prior to proceeding with any modifications or running any scripts.

==Patching Firmware with the SamyGO Firmware Patcher==
B-series models (Non CI+) with older firmwares (pre february 2010) have firmware update files which are only trivially encrypted by Samsung and can be modified to allow additional functionality.The [[SamyGO_Firmware_Patcher| SamyGO firmware patch script]] is based on python a computer programming language and changes some of the startup scripts inside of the firmware. This allows additional functionality in the firmware.
Such functionality includes
# Applies the [[Video_AR_Fix|AR v1 Fix]]. This properly resizes the picture proportions n Samsung B series TVs
# Allows you to increase the size of srt subtitles shown in movie playback and
# Subtitle color can change as well. SamyGO favorite is yellow, (ARGB code for yellow is: 0xFFFFFF00, for original color: 0xFFF0F0F0)
# Telnet, advanced or patch.

Once the script completes you will have a new modified firmware with the aforementioned modifications. Once you flash this modified software to your television, you will enjoy the above enhancements but will also be able to run additional software which will enhance your television's functionality even further. This modified firmware makes it much easier to gain root access through [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Telnet telnet].

==Flashing your modified firmware==
This is outlined in your service manual.
#Make sure your firmware is copied to the root of your FAT32 formatted USB drive.
#You can reach the software upgrade menu from your remote control: Menu->Help->Software Upgrade->USB
#You get a pause for 30 secs while your TV searches for a valid firmware.
#Install your modified firmware.
#Remember altering your firmware and trying to install it carried risk of permanent damage. Please read the wiki and become acquainted with what you are trying to do.

If you are more adventurous and feel confident enough you can also update the firmware by direct access by using the exlink cable. Read about this: [[Enable_Serial_Console_on_non_CI%2B_Devices]].

==Using Content Library applications ==

If you have flashed the modified firmware or if you have an unrestricted firmware you can start playing and enjoying the [[Content_Library_applications_list|SamyGO applications]].

===What are SamyGO apps?===

They are applications written by developers that enhance the functionality of your Samsung TV. These are not so different from the apps that Samsung includes in their television e.g. twitter, display weather, news etc.
The major difference is that SamyGO apps provide advanced functionality but because they are not formally supported by Samsung, they require a different process to be launched.

===Where can I find a content Library application?===
There is a [[Content_Library_applications_list|wiki page]] where a list of apps can be found. This page typically has a brief description of the app functionality, a link to download the file as well as a link to the forum where the develop seeks, feedback, can help with troubleshooting etc.

===How do I install a SamyGO app?===
After you download the app, you should extract it directly to the root of your FAT32 formatted flash drive. Common extraction programs are winzip or winrar. You plug your Flash drive in a TV USB port.
If your TV is turned on a popup will appear that will prompt you to select:
Media play, content libary or software upgrade. Select Content Library.
In the content library menu select USB (left hand side) and move your highlighter to the games and/or children. You should see a list of the apps on your flash drive.

You have two options here. You can run the app from the flash drive or you can copy the app to the television internal memory.
To run an app highlight it, hit enter on your remote and then play.
If you don't get an error message then your app should be running.

===Why should I install the app on my TV memory?===
Some apps run into problmes if your USB flash drive is not fast enough to convey data. Preferably these are the apps you want to install on your TV internal memory.

===I'm lost. There are so many apps on the list. Which one should I try first?===
This is a personal preference. If you are currently using DLNA to stream digital media to your TV then SamyGO Extensions is the app for you. Read about it [[SamyGO_Extensions_Pack|here]].

===I still don't get it. Can you walk me through this?===
If your TV is listed as supported, do not despair. You can get it to work.
One of our members maintains a page that has pictures and a step by step proces to launch a content libary app. [http://translate.google.com/translate?hl=us&sl=pl&tl=en&u=http%3A%2F%2Fmoras86.ugu.pl%2Fsamsung%2Ffaq%2F%23Internet_widgets Check it out here.] If all else fails, that's what the community support forum is there for.

==Using Internet@TV ==

===What is Internet@TV?===

Internet@TV is the name Samsung has given to their latest television appliances which converge the internet and televisions in once device. They are a collection of Samsung apps which due to their graphical user interface are called widgets. Samsung, in its short-sightedness decided that some of the newer widgets would not be made available to older television model owners. However these older televisions (B-series) can actually run the new widgets included in the C-series. Examples of these new widgets include: Google Maps, Facebook, USA today News etc.

===I can hack those widgets too?===

Well not exactly. But you can install widgets by setting up a webserver on your home computer that Samsung has not released for your television (B-series).

===How can install the widgets that I really want?===

1. First download the application [https://sourceforge.net/projects/xampp/files/ XAMPP]. This is an opensource apache distribution which includes a webserver. You install the application and launch the application xampp-control.exe from the main installation folder. If you are installing this for the first time you can start the application by accepting a prompt to start XAMPP control panel. Next press start Apache. You should get a confirmation that it is running.

2. Next you need to create an account on your television to setup widgets. After you turn on your TV pres the Internet@TV button. Wait a few seconds till it finishes loading. Create a new account and enter any PIN. Accept the changes

3. You need to add and update the list of widgets you want. First you need to select the widget series that you want for your TV. Examples can be found here.

'''Work in Progress'''

===I still don't get it. Can you help me?===
Well do not despair. The support forum is always available to assist you. You may want to try out one of member's website who has pics and [http://translate.google.com/translate?hl=us&sl=pl&tl=en&u=http://moras86.ugu.pl/samsung/faq/%23Internet_widgets step by step instructions].

'''TODO'''


=Compatibility table (just for evaluation purposes)=
Below is a first draft of a new version of a comprehensive compatibility table for SamyGO. It is here for evaluation purposes, please feel free to comment on it in the forum. Since this is a still a draft, not all links are there yet, or working. Also probably not all models have been put in yet, and the ones that are there have not yet been completed, I'm still working on it (especially finding the links into the forum pages is a tough job).

The main changes are:

removal of the display type (I think you know what you bought)

Indication of access routes with letters.

combination of a whole bunch of options into a few columns

Oh, and never mind the thin blank lines in the table, they're just empty table entries.

Note: The SamyGO project is compatible with most of the other LN, LA, UN, or UA model TV's. We just haven't tested them yet. No need to get worried about that.

SamyGO for DUMMIES

2011-01-28T00:16:23Z

Rhesus98: /* What are SamyGO applications? */

I think we have a problem here in SamyGO. Older members tend to know a lot about embedded systems and their operating systems, but some newbies don't seem to know how to execute basic programs...
We thought that every one would know that, because of its relative simplicity. But we are wrong there. Also the Wiki pages are too overwhelming for some newbies.

I think we needed to create a wiki page `SamyGO for DUMMIES" and divert all newbies to that article before starting.
The article might mention about how you could execute programs on a TV or copy them to internal TV memory etc. Easy things, which we don't feel the need to talk a lot about.

So I created this page. Me and others will fill this area later on to show simple processes. Also put pictures about running steps of external applications from TV etc...

=Admin's Message for members to edit this page=
This is page for "dummies".

Please keep this page '''"simple as possible" and "modularized"''', means, do not put information if it's not really required and do not try to explain other article pages, just give a link to that article ( like Samba Mounting, firmware patcher etc...) Here needed to be just elementary information.

Thanks

=What is SamyGO?=
SamyGO started in the summer of 2009 as a thread at avsforum, under the title "Samsung LNXXA650 InfoLink hacking". This thread drew a lot of attention and slowly strayed away from its original topic towards rooting TV's and firmware hacking. It also got quite long, so Erdem U. Altinyurt and a few others decided to start a sourceforge project, specific for enhancement of the firmware of Samsung TV-sets, specifically aimed at models issued from 2008 onwards. Many people stayed on and came along from avsforum to sourceforge.

So that is what SamyGO is: A sourceforge project, aimed at enhancing firmware and functionality, specifically for Samsung TV models from 2008 onwards.

The activities of the SamyGO project comprise, but are not limited to:

#Gaining access to all available Samsung TV models from 2008 onwards (rooting).
#Active development of software extensions to enhance Samsung TV accessibility.
#Active development of applications to run on Samsung TV hardware.
#Giving support to project members who want to enhance their TV's functionality.

SamyGO is not a program that you can "just run" on your TV. Enhancing your hardware is not THAT simple. It requires some beginner and intermediate computer skills. The community will support you and is committed to helping you make this work for you. Remember however, that you need to do your part too. Read and try to understand. If you don't understand, ask in the appropriate forum. Proceed only once you understand what it is you are trying to achieve.

=I want more functionality from my TV. What do I need to do?=

# Find out whether your TV model is supported by SamyGO. See the supported models list at our homepage for that.
# Find out which firmware version your TV is equipped with. Newer firmwares are not (yet) supported by SamyGO. See also the supported models list.
# Checkout the access route for your TV, again, this is in the supported models list.
# Get access! Follow the tutorials in the Wiki pages for that.
# Install the software you like/need.
# Enjoy your improved equipment.

Each of these steps will be explained briefly.

=What is my TV model code and number ?=
[[File:Ue40b7020_model.png|right]]Model code and number are almost the same thing. The model number is a short form of the model code. This is a sample model code with the model number written bold.
'''UE40B7020'''WWXXC
You can read your model code from the sticker at the side or rear of your TV. Once you found the model, you can check whether it is supported by SamyGO [[Compatibility|here for A- and B-series]] and [[Compatibility_Table_for_C_series_TVs| here for C-series models.]]

=What is my firmware model and version ?=
You can learn your firmware number by entering the [[Service Menu]]. Read the detailed wiki page before proceeding with '''GREAT''' caution.

Do not change anything in the service menu until you understand what each setting does. The service menu is like entering the BIOS in a computer. It's where changes can be made to the "brain" that controls television functions. Making the wrong choice in a setting can result in a completely unexpected result and brick your television. To navigate the Service menu ''ONLY'' use the up and down button. Use enter to select and the previous button to return to the previous screen. '''DO NOT USE the RIGHT and LEFT''' buttons of your remote while navigating the service menu unless you know what you are trying to do. Using the left and right navigation butttons may change some variables that may easily brick your TV. If you do make a change to a menu, do not panic. Simply navigate in the opposite direction until the original variable is visible. This is by default the selected option.

To identify your firmware version you only need to enter the main screen of the service menu. You do not need to navigate to other Service menu pages. Identification of your firmware version is important to determine whether your television firmware is supported by SamyGO [[Compatibility|here for A- and B-series]] and here for[[Compatibility_Table_for_C_series_TVs| C-series models.]] You exit the Service menu by turning off the television.

=Is my TV a CI or a CI+ device?=
Samsung has implemented increasing encryption with each series of televsions it releases. Earlier models had no firmware encryption, subsequent firmware releases have [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/XOR_cipher XOR]cipher encryption and the latest firmware releases utilize both AES and XOR encryption. This encryption limits how much editing of a firmware can be done despite the fact that the software Samsung uses is opensource and [http://opensource.samsung.com/ publicly available] per GNU and GPL licensing terms. Knowing the type of firmware utilized is important because it determines what kind of access you can obtain in your television's operating system. There are two types of firmwares based on access, CI and CI+ devices.

A television from the C series is always a CI+ device. B series models have two possibilities: If there is a P in the last part of the model code, it is most likely a CI+ device. The firmware version installed on these TV's has the letters CIP in the firmware version code. Otherwise it is probably a CI device. A series devices do not have encryption.

Some examples:
LE40B652T4'''W'''XXU device uses T-CHL7DEUC firmware, which indicates it is a CI device.
LE40B652T2'''P'''XXU device uses T-CHLCIPDEUC firmware, which indicates it is a CI+ device.
UE40B7020W'''W'''XXC device uses T-CHU7DEUC firmware, which indicates it is a CI device.
'''TODO: Add some UN,UE and PS model "codes" here.'''

You can also find your firmware name and version number in the [[Service Menu]].
This is important to know because there are different software solutions depending on whether your TV is a CI or a CI+ device. Software developers frequently develop two versions of software to support these two types of firmwares. Knowing what kind of TV you have will allow you to select the appropriate SamyGO app.

=What are Restricted Firmwares?=
Restricted Firmwares are original Samsung firmwares which have been released after 01 February 2010. These firmwares have been restricted in many ways by Samsung and have limited how much access one can gain inside their television's operating system. Here in the SamyGO community, we believe this is a deliberate effort to hinder and disable our software development efforts. It is probably also required by the copyright holders of certain parts of the encryption/decryption software for CI+.

Functions that have been removed by the release of these Restricted Firmwares are:
*ExLink Access , that allows us Serial connection to TV's bash line.
*Removal of Top Debug Menu that let us allow to configure every property of TV.
*Removal of u-boot code for that we use to run External firmwares and un-bricking TV.
*Removal of program copy and execution ability from USB disks.
*Removal of Alternative firmware firmware section to avoid reverting older firmwares.
*Additional security enhancements to avoid to flash hacked firmwares.

(*'''TODO: Anything that I forgot?")

If you are interested in applying any of the SamyGO software enhancements to your television's firmware, it's better not to have received any of these firmwares. However, do not despair if you have had your television crippled by these "updates". The ingenuity and hard work of the developers of the SamyGO community have found several work-arounds that will allow you to restore your television to an older firmware that allows SamyGO applications to run. They have also simplified and automated part of this process as much as it is legally possible.

Unfortunately, if you have a restricted firmware, you can't just plug and play. There are several steps that you need to take to gain back "ownership" of your television. Several steps are involved including, copying programs to your TV memory by using an open vulnerabilities such as the "Children Menu" hack or the Nurisam Trojan. This will allow you to move applications to TV and enjoy additional features currently no possible...

=How can I get access to my TV?=
Samsung televisions have an embedded operating system based on linux. When you turn your television on you are essentially operating a computer as a user. You are given limited access to core parts of the operating system by design. If you want more control of what your television you must give it commands to run additional pieces of software with the functionality you desire. To do this you need to obtain access to the television's operating system as a [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Superuser superuser or with root access].
To control any Linux-based system, you need root access to it (Administrator privileges in Windows). Depending on the type of TV and version of the firmware, this can be achieved in a number of ways. In the compatibility tables you can find the methods that have been used successfully for each type (The list is not complete yet, work in progress).
Depending on the firmware and television model you may be able to do this with a simple software installation from a USB drive or you may need to install modified firmware or may need to revert to an older version of firmware that has not been restricted by Samsung.
You can gain access to your televisions operating in several ways.Consult the compatibility table at the bottom of this page to determine which method you can use:

#'''USB''': Loading software from the USB port by flash drive. Restricted firmware has disallowed access to the built in functionality. This is also how modified firmware is flashed.
#'''Telnet''': For models with ethernet connectivity it is possible to gain telnet access via your computer network. Non ethernet models may also become network accessible by using a usb wi-fi dongle. This required that you have already obtained root acess and your your television has been modified to allow network access (less common way).
#'''Ex-link Port''' An Ex-link port or service port which allows direct connection from your computer to the television.

== The Ex-Link port ==
Many TV models are accessible through a serial port, called Ex-link. This port is addressed in the manuals as "connector for service only". It is a serial port, with a 3.5mm stereo jack as connector. To use it, you will need a serial cable with the right layout, which is given [[Enable_Serial_Console_on_non_CI%2B_Devices|'''here'''.]] On the same page you will find how to enter the service menu of your TV, at least for a number of older types. It would be wise to make or buy such a cable prior to changing your firmware in the event of a catastrophic event that requires this connection to recover your television functionality(unbrick your TV).

==SamyGO System Requirements==
#A television that is supported by SamyGo Software. See the [[Compatibility| compatibility list]] (Absence of your model '''does not mean''' that your model is absolutely not supported.)
#Your television must have a firmware software that is [[Is_my_TV_supported%3F|unrestricted]]. (Even if it's restricted, you have things that can help you regain access.)
#A computer with internet connection to download the required files.
#A little bit of courage and nerve to follow through the entire process.
#A USB drive formatted with FAT32. NOTE for windows users: DO NOT extract the files contained in the zip and rar files you download to an NTFS partition and then to your flash drive. Certain file attributes that are necessary for linux executable files and scripts are lost. A rule of thumb is ALWAYS extract the files you are going to use directly to the USB drive.
#If you're smart you'll also get a ex-link cable and take the previously stated necessary precautions (active debug and turn off watchdog in the service menu) to be ready in case the television gets bricked.

==Reverting back to unrestricted firmware==
Loading third party software has been limited with the latest versions of restricted firmware. If you are in the lucky group of television owners with unrestricted firmware then you can skip this section, you are in luck and can stop worrying about firmware restrictions! If your are in the unlucky group of restricted firmware (usually any firmware after dated updated in 2010) then you must revert back to an unrestricted firmware first prior running any SamyGO applications on your TV. Developers at SamyGO have made this a fairly simple process by using a script that automates this process. A list of supported television models and detailed instructions can be [[Forced_revert_back_to_older_firmware| found here]]. Please review all this in detail prior to proceeding with any modifications or running any scripts.

==Patching Firmware with the SamyGO Firmware Patcher==
B-series models (Non CI+) with older firmwares (pre february 2010) have firmware update files which are only trivially encrypted by Samsung and can be modified to allow additional functionality.The [[SamyGO_Firmware_Patcher| SamyGO firmware patch script]] is based on python a computer programming language and changes some of the startup scripts inside of the firmware. This allows additional functionality in the firmware.
Such functionality includes
# Applies the [[Video_AR_Fix|AR v1 Fix]]. This properly resizes the picture proportions n Samsung B series TVs
# Allows you to increase the size of srt subtitles shown in movie playback and
# Subtitle color can change as well. SamyGO favorite is yellow, (ARGB code for yellow is: 0xFFFFFF00, for original color: 0xFFF0F0F0)
# Telnet, advanced or patch.

Once the script completes you will have a new modified firmware with the aforementioned modifications. Once you flash this modified software to your television, you will enjoy the above enhancements but will also be able to run additional software which will enhance your television's functionality even further. This modified firmware makes it much easier to gain root access through [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Telnet telnet].

==Flashing your modified firmware==
This is outlined in your service manual.
#Make sure your firmware is copied to the root of your FAT32 formatted USB drive.
#You can reach the software upgrade menu from your remote control: Menu->Help->Software Upgrade->USB
#You get a pause for 30 secs while your TV searches for a valid firmware.
#Install your modified firmware.
#Remember altering your firmware and trying to install it carried risk of permanent damage. Please read the wiki and become acquainted with what you are trying to do.

If you are more adventurous and feel confident enough you can also update the firmware by direct access by using the exlink cable. Read about this: [[Enable_Serial_Console_on_non_CI%2B_Devices]].

==Using Content Library applications ==

If you have flashed the modified firmware or if you have an unrestricted firmware you can start playing and enjoying the [[Content_Library_applications_list|SamyGO applications]].

===What are SamyGO apps?===

They are applications written by developers that enhance the functionality of your Samsung TV. These are not so different from the apps that Samsung includes in their television e.g. twitter, display weather, news etc.
The major difference is that SamyGO apps provide advanced functionality but because they are not formally supported by Samsung, they require a different process to be launched.

===Where can I find a content Library application?===
There is a [[Content_Library_applications_list|wiki page]] where a list of apps can be found. This page typically has a brief description of the app functionality, a link to download the file as well as a link to the forum where the develop seeks, feedback, can help with troubleshooting etc.

===How do I install a SamyGO app?===
After you download the app, you should extract it directly to the root of your FAT32 formatted flash drive. Common extraction programs are winzip or winrar. You plug your Flash drive in a TV USB port.
If your TV is turned on a popup will appear that will prompt you to select:
Media play, content libary or software upgrade. Select Content Library.
In the content library menu select USB (left hand side) and move your highlighter to the games and/or children. You should see a list of the apps on your flash drive.

You have two options here. You can run the app from the flash drive or you can copy the app to the television internal memory.
To run an app highlight it, hit enter on your remote and then play.
If you don't get an error message then your app should be running.

===How many apps can I install on the internal memory of your TV? Do I still need the flash drive?===
You have a limited amount of memory in your television. This determines how many apps "fit on your TV". Regardless, you should always keep the flash drive plugged into the TV while your app is running, even if you copy it to your internal memory.

===Why should I install the app on my TV memory?===
Some apps run into problmes if your USB flash drive is not fast enough to convey data. Preferably these are the apps you want to install on your TV internal memory.

===I'm lost. There are so many apps on the list. Which one should I try first?===
This is a personal preference. If you are currently using DLNA to stream digital media to your TV then SamyGO Extensions is the app for you. Read about it [[SamyGO_Extensions_Pack|here]].

===I still don't get it. Can you walk me through this?===
If your TV is listed as supported, do not despair. You can get it to work.
One of our members maintains a page that has pictures and a step by step proces to launch a content libary app. [http://translate.google.com/translate?hl=us&sl=pl&tl=en&u=http%3A%2F%2Fmoras86.ugu.pl%2Fsamsung%2Ffaq%2F%23Internet_widgets Check it out here.] If all else fails, that's what the community support forum is there for.

==Using Internet@TV ==

===What is Internet@TV?===

Internet@TV is the name Samsung has given to their latest television appliances which converge the internet and televisions in once device. They are a collection of Samsung apps which due to their graphical user interface are called widgets. Samsung, in its short-sightedness decided that some of the newer widgets would not be made available to older television model owners. However these older televisions (B-series) can actually run the new widgets included in the C-series. Examples of these new widgets include: Google Maps, Facebook, USA today News etc.

===I can hack those widgets too?===

Well not exactly. But you can install widgets by setting up a webserver on your home computer that Samsung has not released for your television (B-series).

===How can install the widgets that I really want?===

1. First download the application [https://sourceforge.net/projects/xampp/files/ XAMPP]. This is an opensource apache distribution which includes a webserver. You install the application and launch the application xampp-control.exe from the main installation folder. If you are installing this for the first time you can start the application by accepting a prompt to start XAMPP control panel. Next press start Apache. You should get a confirmation that it is running.

2. Next you need to create an account on your television to setup widgets. After you turn on your TV pres the Internet@TV button. Wait a few seconds till it finishes loading. Create a new account and enter any PIN. Accept the changes

3. You need to add and update the list of widgets you want. First you need to select the widget series that you want for your TV. Examples can be found here.

'''Work in Progress'''

===I still don't get it. Can you help me?===
Well do not despair. The support forum is always available to assist you. You may want to try out one of member's website who has pics and [http://translate.google.com/translate?hl=us&sl=pl&tl=en&u=http://moras86.ugu.pl/samsung/faq/%23Internet_widgets step by step instructions].

==Using Hotel@USB ==
'''TODO'''


=Compatibility table (just for evaluation purposes)=
Below is a first draft of a new version of a comprehensive compatibility table for SamyGO. It is here for evaluation purposes, please feel free to comment on it in the forum. Since this is a still a draft, not all links are there yet, or working. Also probably not all models have been put in yet, and the ones that are there have not yet been completed, I'm still working on it (especially finding the links into the forum pages is a tough job).

The main changes are:

removal of the display type (I think you know what you bought)

Indication of access routes with letters.

combination of a whole bunch of options into a few columns

Oh, and never mind the thin blank lines in the table, they're just empty table entries.

Note: The SamyGO project is compatible with most of the other LN, LA, UN, or UA model TV's. We just haven't tested them yet. No need to get worried about that.

SamyGO for DUMMIES

2011-01-28T00:15:48Z

Rhesus98: /* I'm lost. There are so many apps on the list. Which one should I try first? */

I think we have a problem here in SamyGO. Older members tend to know a lot about embedded systems and their operating systems, but some newbies don't seem to know how to execute basic programs...
We thought that every one would know that, because of its relative simplicity. But we are wrong there. Also the Wiki pages are too overwhelming for some newbies.

I think we needed to create a wiki page `SamyGO for DUMMIES" and divert all newbies to that article before starting.
The article might mention about how you could execute programs on a TV or copy them to internal TV memory etc. Easy things, which we don't feel the need to talk a lot about.

So I created this page. Me and others will fill this area later on to show simple processes. Also put pictures about running steps of external applications from TV etc...

=Admin's Message for members to edit this page=
This is page for "dummies".

Please keep this page '''"simple as possible" and "modularized"''', means, do not put information if it's not really required and do not try to explain other article pages, just give a link to that article ( like Samba Mounting, firmware patcher etc...) Here needed to be just elementary information.

Thanks

=What is SamyGO?=
SamyGO started in the summer of 2009 as a thread at avsforum, under the title "Samsung LNXXA650 InfoLink hacking". This thread drew a lot of attention and slowly strayed away from its original topic towards rooting TV's and firmware hacking. It also got quite long, so Erdem U. Altinyurt and a few others decided to start a sourceforge project, specific for enhancement of the firmware of Samsung TV-sets, specifically aimed at models issued from 2008 onwards. Many people stayed on and came along from avsforum to sourceforge.

So that is what SamyGO is: A sourceforge project, aimed at enhancing firmware and functionality, specifically for Samsung TV models from 2008 onwards.

The activities of the SamyGO project comprise, but are not limited to:

#Gaining access to all available Samsung TV models from 2008 onwards (rooting).
#Active development of software extensions to enhance Samsung TV accessibility.
#Active development of applications to run on Samsung TV hardware.
#Giving support to project members who want to enhance their TV's functionality.

SamyGO is not a program that you can "just run" on your TV. Enhancing your hardware is not THAT simple. It requires some beginner and intermediate computer skills. The community will support you and is committed to helping you make this work for you. Remember however, that you need to do your part too. Read and try to understand. If you don't understand, ask in the appropriate forum. Proceed only once you understand what it is you are trying to achieve.

=I want more functionality from my TV. What do I need to do?=

# Find out whether your TV model is supported by SamyGO. See the supported models list at our homepage for that.
# Find out which firmware version your TV is equipped with. Newer firmwares are not (yet) supported by SamyGO. See also the supported models list.
# Checkout the access route for your TV, again, this is in the supported models list.
# Get access! Follow the tutorials in the Wiki pages for that.
# Install the software you like/need.
# Enjoy your improved equipment.

Each of these steps will be explained briefly.

=What is my TV model code and number ?=
[[File:Ue40b7020_model.png|right]]Model code and number are almost the same thing. The model number is a short form of the model code. This is a sample model code with the model number written bold.
'''UE40B7020'''WWXXC
You can read your model code from the sticker at the side or rear of your TV. Once you found the model, you can check whether it is supported by SamyGO [[Compatibility|here for A- and B-series]] and [[Compatibility_Table_for_C_series_TVs| here for C-series models.]]

=What is my firmware model and version ?=
You can learn your firmware number by entering the [[Service Menu]]. Read the detailed wiki page before proceeding with '''GREAT''' caution.

Do not change anything in the service menu until you understand what each setting does. The service menu is like entering the BIOS in a computer. It's where changes can be made to the "brain" that controls television functions. Making the wrong choice in a setting can result in a completely unexpected result and brick your television. To navigate the Service menu ''ONLY'' use the up and down button. Use enter to select and the previous button to return to the previous screen. '''DO NOT USE the RIGHT and LEFT''' buttons of your remote while navigating the service menu unless you know what you are trying to do. Using the left and right navigation butttons may change some variables that may easily brick your TV. If you do make a change to a menu, do not panic. Simply navigate in the opposite direction until the original variable is visible. This is by default the selected option.

To identify your firmware version you only need to enter the main screen of the service menu. You do not need to navigate to other Service menu pages. Identification of your firmware version is important to determine whether your television firmware is supported by SamyGO [[Compatibility|here for A- and B-series]] and here for[[Compatibility_Table_for_C_series_TVs| C-series models.]] You exit the Service menu by turning off the television.

=Is my TV a CI or a CI+ device?=
Samsung has implemented increasing encryption with each series of televsions it releases. Earlier models had no firmware encryption, subsequent firmware releases have [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/XOR_cipher XOR]cipher encryption and the latest firmware releases utilize both AES and XOR encryption. This encryption limits how much editing of a firmware can be done despite the fact that the software Samsung uses is opensource and [http://opensource.samsung.com/ publicly available] per GNU and GPL licensing terms. Knowing the type of firmware utilized is important because it determines what kind of access you can obtain in your television's operating system. There are two types of firmwares based on access, CI and CI+ devices.

A television from the C series is always a CI+ device. B series models have two possibilities: If there is a P in the last part of the model code, it is most likely a CI+ device. The firmware version installed on these TV's has the letters CIP in the firmware version code. Otherwise it is probably a CI device. A series devices do not have encryption.

Some examples:
LE40B652T4'''W'''XXU device uses T-CHL7DEUC firmware, which indicates it is a CI device.
LE40B652T2'''P'''XXU device uses T-CHLCIPDEUC firmware, which indicates it is a CI+ device.
UE40B7020W'''W'''XXC device uses T-CHU7DEUC firmware, which indicates it is a CI device.
'''TODO: Add some UN,UE and PS model "codes" here.'''

You can also find your firmware name and version number in the [[Service Menu]].
This is important to know because there are different software solutions depending on whether your TV is a CI or a CI+ device. Software developers frequently develop two versions of software to support these two types of firmwares. Knowing what kind of TV you have will allow you to select the appropriate SamyGO app.

=What are Restricted Firmwares?=
Restricted Firmwares are original Samsung firmwares which have been released after 01 February 2010. These firmwares have been restricted in many ways by Samsung and have limited how much access one can gain inside their television's operating system. Here in the SamyGO community, we believe this is a deliberate effort to hinder and disable our software development efforts. It is probably also required by the copyright holders of certain parts of the encryption/decryption software for CI+.

Functions that have been removed by the release of these Restricted Firmwares are:
*ExLink Access , that allows us Serial connection to TV's bash line.
*Removal of Top Debug Menu that let us allow to configure every property of TV.
*Removal of u-boot code for that we use to run External firmwares and un-bricking TV.
*Removal of program copy and execution ability from USB disks.
*Removal of Alternative firmware firmware section to avoid reverting older firmwares.
*Additional security enhancements to avoid to flash hacked firmwares.

(*'''TODO: Anything that I forgot?")

If you are interested in applying any of the SamyGO software enhancements to your television's firmware, it's better not to have received any of these firmwares. However, do not despair if you have had your television crippled by these "updates". The ingenuity and hard work of the developers of the SamyGO community have found several work-arounds that will allow you to restore your television to an older firmware that allows SamyGO applications to run. They have also simplified and automated part of this process as much as it is legally possible.

Unfortunately, if you have a restricted firmware, you can't just plug and play. There are several steps that you need to take to gain back "ownership" of your television. Several steps are involved including, copying programs to your TV memory by using an open vulnerabilities such as the "Children Menu" hack or the Nurisam Trojan. This will allow you to move applications to TV and enjoy additional features currently no possible...

=How can I get access to my TV?=
Samsung televisions have an embedded operating system based on linux. When you turn your television on you are essentially operating a computer as a user. You are given limited access to core parts of the operating system by design. If you want more control of what your television you must give it commands to run additional pieces of software with the functionality you desire. To do this you need to obtain access to the television's operating system as a [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Superuser superuser or with root access].
To control any Linux-based system, you need root access to it (Administrator privileges in Windows). Depending on the type of TV and version of the firmware, this can be achieved in a number of ways. In the compatibility tables you can find the methods that have been used successfully for each type (The list is not complete yet, work in progress).
Depending on the firmware and television model you may be able to do this with a simple software installation from a USB drive or you may need to install modified firmware or may need to revert to an older version of firmware that has not been restricted by Samsung.
You can gain access to your televisions operating in several ways.Consult the compatibility table at the bottom of this page to determine which method you can use:

#'''USB''': Loading software from the USB port by flash drive. Restricted firmware has disallowed access to the built in functionality. This is also how modified firmware is flashed.
#'''Telnet''': For models with ethernet connectivity it is possible to gain telnet access via your computer network. Non ethernet models may also become network accessible by using a usb wi-fi dongle. This required that you have already obtained root acess and your your television has been modified to allow network access (less common way).
#'''Ex-link Port''' An Ex-link port or service port which allows direct connection from your computer to the television.

== The Ex-Link port ==
Many TV models are accessible through a serial port, called Ex-link. This port is addressed in the manuals as "connector for service only". It is a serial port, with a 3.5mm stereo jack as connector. To use it, you will need a serial cable with the right layout, which is given [[Enable_Serial_Console_on_non_CI%2B_Devices|'''here'''.]] On the same page you will find how to enter the service menu of your TV, at least for a number of older types. It would be wise to make or buy such a cable prior to changing your firmware in the event of a catastrophic event that requires this connection to recover your television functionality(unbrick your TV).

==SamyGO System Requirements==
#A television that is supported by SamyGo Software. See the [[Compatibility| compatibility list]] (Absence of your model '''does not mean''' that your model is absolutely not supported.)
#Your television must have a firmware software that is [[Is_my_TV_supported%3F|unrestricted]]. (Even if it's restricted, you have things that can help you regain access.)
#A computer with internet connection to download the required files.
#A little bit of courage and nerve to follow through the entire process.
#A USB drive formatted with FAT32. NOTE for windows users: DO NOT extract the files contained in the zip and rar files you download to an NTFS partition and then to your flash drive. Certain file attributes that are necessary for linux executable files and scripts are lost. A rule of thumb is ALWAYS extract the files you are going to use directly to the USB drive.
#If you're smart you'll also get a ex-link cable and take the previously stated necessary precautions (active debug and turn off watchdog in the service menu) to be ready in case the television gets bricked.

==Reverting back to unrestricted firmware==
Loading third party software has been limited with the latest versions of restricted firmware. If you are in the lucky group of television owners with unrestricted firmware then you can skip this section, you are in luck and can stop worrying about firmware restrictions! If your are in the unlucky group of restricted firmware (usually any firmware after dated updated in 2010) then you must revert back to an unrestricted firmware first prior running any SamyGO applications on your TV. Developers at SamyGO have made this a fairly simple process by using a script that automates this process. A list of supported television models and detailed instructions can be [[Forced_revert_back_to_older_firmware| found here]]. Please review all this in detail prior to proceeding with any modifications or running any scripts.

==Patching Firmware with the SamyGO Firmware Patcher==
B-series models (Non CI+) with older firmwares (pre february 2010) have firmware update files which are only trivially encrypted by Samsung and can be modified to allow additional functionality.The [[SamyGO_Firmware_Patcher| SamyGO firmware patch script]] is based on python a computer programming language and changes some of the startup scripts inside of the firmware. This allows additional functionality in the firmware.
Such functionality includes
# Applies the [[Video_AR_Fix|AR v1 Fix]]. This properly resizes the picture proportions n Samsung B series TVs
# Allows you to increase the size of srt subtitles shown in movie playback and
# Subtitle color can change as well. SamyGO favorite is yellow, (ARGB code for yellow is: 0xFFFFFF00, for original color: 0xFFF0F0F0)
# Telnet, advanced or patch.

Once the script completes you will have a new modified firmware with the aforementioned modifications. Once you flash this modified software to your television, you will enjoy the above enhancements but will also be able to run additional software which will enhance your television's functionality even further. This modified firmware makes it much easier to gain root access through [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Telnet telnet].

==Flashing your modified firmware==
This is outlined in your service manual.
#Make sure your firmware is copied to the root of your FAT32 formatted USB drive.
#You can reach the software upgrade menu from your remote control: Menu->Help->Software Upgrade->USB
#You get a pause for 30 secs while your TV searches for a valid firmware.
#Install your modified firmware.
#Remember altering your firmware and trying to install it carried risk of permanent damage. Please read the wiki and become acquainted with what you are trying to do.

If you are more adventurous and feel confident enough you can also update the firmware by direct access by using the exlink cable. Read about this: [[Enable_Serial_Console_on_non_CI%2B_Devices]].

==Using Content Library applications ==

If you have flashed the modified firmware or if you have an unrestricted firmware you can start playing and enjoying the [[Content_Library_applications_list|SamyGO applications]].

===What are SamyGO applications?===

They are applications written by developers that enhance the functionality of your Samsung TV. These are not so different from the apps that Samsung includes in their television e.g. twitter, display weather, news etc.
The major difference is that SamyGO apps provide advanced functionality but because they are not formally supported by Samsung, they require a different process to be launched.

===Where can I find a content Library application?===
There is a [[Content_Library_applications_list|wiki page]] where a list of apps can be found. This page typically has a brief description of the app functionality, a link to download the file as well as a link to the forum where the develop seeks, feedback, can help with troubleshooting etc.

===How do I install a SamyGO app?===
After you download the app, you should extract it directly to the root of your FAT32 formatted flash drive. Common extraction programs are winzip or winrar. You plug your Flash drive in a TV USB port.
If your TV is turned on a popup will appear that will prompt you to select:
Media play, content libary or software upgrade. Select Content Library.
In the content library menu select USB (left hand side) and move your highlighter to the games and/or children. You should see a list of the apps on your flash drive.

You have two options here. You can run the app from the flash drive or you can copy the app to the television internal memory.
To run an app highlight it, hit enter on your remote and then play.
If you don't get an error message then your app should be running.

===How many apps can I install on the internal memory of your TV? Do I still need the flash drive?===
You have a limited amount of memory in your television. This determines how many apps "fit on your TV". Regardless, you should always keep the flash drive plugged into the TV while your app is running, even if you copy it to your internal memory.

===Why should I install the app on my TV memory?===
Some apps run into problmes if your USB flash drive is not fast enough to convey data. Preferably these are the apps you want to install on your TV internal memory.

===I'm lost. There are so many apps on the list. Which one should I try first?===
This is a personal preference. If you are currently using DLNA to stream digital media to your TV then SamyGO Extensions is the app for you. Read about it [[SamyGO_Extensions_Pack|here]].

===I still don't get it. Can you walk me through this?===
If your TV is listed as supported, do not despair. You can get it to work.
One of our members maintains a page that has pictures and a step by step proces to launch a content libary app. [http://translate.google.com/translate?hl=us&sl=pl&tl=en&u=http%3A%2F%2Fmoras86.ugu.pl%2Fsamsung%2Ffaq%2F%23Internet_widgets Check it out here.] If all else fails, that's what the community support forum is there for.

==Using Internet@TV ==

===What is Internet@TV?===

Internet@TV is the name Samsung has given to their latest television appliances which converge the internet and televisions in once device. They are a collection of Samsung apps which due to their graphical user interface are called widgets. Samsung, in its short-sightedness decided that some of the newer widgets would not be made available to older television model owners. However these older televisions (B-series) can actually run the new widgets included in the C-series. Examples of these new widgets include: Google Maps, Facebook, USA today News etc.

===I can hack those widgets too?===

Well not exactly. But you can install widgets by setting up a webserver on your home computer that Samsung has not released for your television (B-series).

===How can install the widgets that I really want?===

1. First download the application [https://sourceforge.net/projects/xampp/files/ XAMPP]. This is an opensource apache distribution which includes a webserver. You install the application and launch the application xampp-control.exe from the main installation folder. If you are installing this for the first time you can start the application by accepting a prompt to start XAMPP control panel. Next press start Apache. You should get a confirmation that it is running.

2. Next you need to create an account on your television to setup widgets. After you turn on your TV pres the Internet@TV button. Wait a few seconds till it finishes loading. Create a new account and enter any PIN. Accept the changes

3. You need to add and update the list of widgets you want. First you need to select the widget series that you want for your TV. Examples can be found here.

'''Work in Progress'''

===I still don't get it. Can you help me?===
Well do not despair. The support forum is always available to assist you. You may want to try out one of member's website who has pics and [http://translate.google.com/translate?hl=us&sl=pl&tl=en&u=http://moras86.ugu.pl/samsung/faq/%23Internet_widgets step by step instructions].

==Using Hotel@USB ==
'''TODO'''


=Compatibility table (just for evaluation purposes)=
Below is a first draft of a new version of a comprehensive compatibility table for SamyGO. It is here for evaluation purposes, please feel free to comment on it in the forum. Since this is a still a draft, not all links are there yet, or working. Also probably not all models have been put in yet, and the ones that are there have not yet been completed, I'm still working on it (especially finding the links into the forum pages is a tough job).

The main changes are:

removal of the display type (I think you know what you bought)

Indication of access routes with letters.

combination of a whole bunch of options into a few columns

Oh, and never mind the thin blank lines in the table, they're just empty table entries.

Note: The SamyGO project is compatible with most of the other LN, LA, UN, or UA model TV's. We just haven't tested them yet. No need to get worried about that.

SamyGO for DUMMIES

2011-01-28T00:14:08Z

Rhesus98: /* Using Content Library applications */

I think we have a problem here in SamyGO. Older members tend to know a lot about embedded systems and their operating systems, but some newbies don't seem to know how to execute basic programs...
We thought that every one would know that, because of its relative simplicity. But we are wrong there. Also the Wiki pages are too overwhelming for some newbies.

I think we needed to create a wiki page `SamyGO for DUMMIES" and divert all newbies to that article before starting.
The article might mention about how you could execute programs on a TV or copy them to internal TV memory etc. Easy things, which we don't feel the need to talk a lot about.

So I created this page. Me and others will fill this area later on to show simple processes. Also put pictures about running steps of external applications from TV etc...

=Admin's Message for members to edit this page=
This is page for "dummies".

Please keep this page '''"simple as possible" and "modularized"''', means, do not put information if it's not really required and do not try to explain other article pages, just give a link to that article ( like Samba Mounting, firmware patcher etc...) Here needed to be just elementary information.

Thanks

=What is SamyGO?=
SamyGO started in the summer of 2009 as a thread at avsforum, under the title "Samsung LNXXA650 InfoLink hacking". This thread drew a lot of attention and slowly strayed away from its original topic towards rooting TV's and firmware hacking. It also got quite long, so Erdem U. Altinyurt and a few others decided to start a sourceforge project, specific for enhancement of the firmware of Samsung TV-sets, specifically aimed at models issued from 2008 onwards. Many people stayed on and came along from avsforum to sourceforge.

So that is what SamyGO is: A sourceforge project, aimed at enhancing firmware and functionality, specifically for Samsung TV models from 2008 onwards.

The activities of the SamyGO project comprise, but are not limited to:

#Gaining access to all available Samsung TV models from 2008 onwards (rooting).
#Active development of software extensions to enhance Samsung TV accessibility.
#Active development of applications to run on Samsung TV hardware.
#Giving support to project members who want to enhance their TV's functionality.

SamyGO is not a program that you can "just run" on your TV. Enhancing your hardware is not THAT simple. It requires some beginner and intermediate computer skills. The community will support you and is committed to helping you make this work for you. Remember however, that you need to do your part too. Read and try to understand. If you don't understand, ask in the appropriate forum. Proceed only once you understand what it is you are trying to achieve.

=I want more functionality from my TV. What do I need to do?=

# Find out whether your TV model is supported by SamyGO. See the supported models list at our homepage for that.
# Find out which firmware version your TV is equipped with. Newer firmwares are not (yet) supported by SamyGO. See also the supported models list.
# Checkout the access route for your TV, again, this is in the supported models list.
# Get access! Follow the tutorials in the Wiki pages for that.
# Install the software you like/need.
# Enjoy your improved equipment.

Each of these steps will be explained briefly.

=What is my TV model code and number ?=
[[File:Ue40b7020_model.png|right]]Model code and number are almost the same thing. The model number is a short form of the model code. This is a sample model code with the model number written bold.
'''UE40B7020'''WWXXC
You can read your model code from the sticker at the side or rear of your TV. Once you found the model, you can check whether it is supported by SamyGO [[Compatibility|here for A- and B-series]] and [[Compatibility_Table_for_C_series_TVs| here for C-series models.]]

=What is my firmware model and version ?=
You can learn your firmware number by entering the [[Service Menu]]. Read the detailed wiki page before proceeding with '''GREAT''' caution.

Do not change anything in the service menu until you understand what each setting does. The service menu is like entering the BIOS in a computer. It's where changes can be made to the "brain" that controls television functions. Making the wrong choice in a setting can result in a completely unexpected result and brick your television. To navigate the Service menu ''ONLY'' use the up and down button. Use enter to select and the previous button to return to the previous screen. '''DO NOT USE the RIGHT and LEFT''' buttons of your remote while navigating the service menu unless you know what you are trying to do. Using the left and right navigation butttons may change some variables that may easily brick your TV. If you do make a change to a menu, do not panic. Simply navigate in the opposite direction until the original variable is visible. This is by default the selected option.

To identify your firmware version you only need to enter the main screen of the service menu. You do not need to navigate to other Service menu pages. Identification of your firmware version is important to determine whether your television firmware is supported by SamyGO [[Compatibility|here for A- and B-series]] and here for[[Compatibility_Table_for_C_series_TVs| C-series models.]] You exit the Service menu by turning off the television.

=Is my TV a CI or a CI+ device?=
Samsung has implemented increasing encryption with each series of televsions it releases. Earlier models had no firmware encryption, subsequent firmware releases have [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/XOR_cipher XOR]cipher encryption and the latest firmware releases utilize both AES and XOR encryption. This encryption limits how much editing of a firmware can be done despite the fact that the software Samsung uses is opensource and [http://opensource.samsung.com/ publicly available] per GNU and GPL licensing terms. Knowing the type of firmware utilized is important because it determines what kind of access you can obtain in your television's operating system. There are two types of firmwares based on access, CI and CI+ devices.

A television from the C series is always a CI+ device. B series models have two possibilities: If there is a P in the last part of the model code, it is most likely a CI+ device. The firmware version installed on these TV's has the letters CIP in the firmware version code. Otherwise it is probably a CI device. A series devices do not have encryption.

Some examples:
LE40B652T4'''W'''XXU device uses T-CHL7DEUC firmware, which indicates it is a CI device.
LE40B652T2'''P'''XXU device uses T-CHLCIPDEUC firmware, which indicates it is a CI+ device.
UE40B7020W'''W'''XXC device uses T-CHU7DEUC firmware, which indicates it is a CI device.
'''TODO: Add some UN,UE and PS model "codes" here.'''

You can also find your firmware name and version number in the [[Service Menu]].
This is important to know because there are different software solutions depending on whether your TV is a CI or a CI+ device. Software developers frequently develop two versions of software to support these two types of firmwares. Knowing what kind of TV you have will allow you to select the appropriate SamyGO app.

=What are Restricted Firmwares?=
Restricted Firmwares are original Samsung firmwares which have been released after 01 February 2010. These firmwares have been restricted in many ways by Samsung and have limited how much access one can gain inside their television's operating system. Here in the SamyGO community, we believe this is a deliberate effort to hinder and disable our software development efforts. It is probably also required by the copyright holders of certain parts of the encryption/decryption software for CI+.

Functions that have been removed by the release of these Restricted Firmwares are:
*ExLink Access , that allows us Serial connection to TV's bash line.
*Removal of Top Debug Menu that let us allow to configure every property of TV.
*Removal of u-boot code for that we use to run External firmwares and un-bricking TV.
*Removal of program copy and execution ability from USB disks.
*Removal of Alternative firmware firmware section to avoid reverting older firmwares.
*Additional security enhancements to avoid to flash hacked firmwares.

(*'''TODO: Anything that I forgot?")

If you are interested in applying any of the SamyGO software enhancements to your television's firmware, it's better not to have received any of these firmwares. However, do not despair if you have had your television crippled by these "updates". The ingenuity and hard work of the developers of the SamyGO community have found several work-arounds that will allow you to restore your television to an older firmware that allows SamyGO applications to run. They have also simplified and automated part of this process as much as it is legally possible.

Unfortunately, if you have a restricted firmware, you can't just plug and play. There are several steps that you need to take to gain back "ownership" of your television. Several steps are involved including, copying programs to your TV memory by using an open vulnerabilities such as the "Children Menu" hack or the Nurisam Trojan. This will allow you to move applications to TV and enjoy additional features currently no possible...

=How can I get access to my TV?=
Samsung televisions have an embedded operating system based on linux. When you turn your television on you are essentially operating a computer as a user. You are given limited access to core parts of the operating system by design. If you want more control of what your television you must give it commands to run additional pieces of software with the functionality you desire. To do this you need to obtain access to the television's operating system as a [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Superuser superuser or with root access].
To control any Linux-based system, you need root access to it (Administrator privileges in Windows). Depending on the type of TV and version of the firmware, this can be achieved in a number of ways. In the compatibility tables you can find the methods that have been used successfully for each type (The list is not complete yet, work in progress).
Depending on the firmware and television model you may be able to do this with a simple software installation from a USB drive or you may need to install modified firmware or may need to revert to an older version of firmware that has not been restricted by Samsung.
You can gain access to your televisions operating in several ways.Consult the compatibility table at the bottom of this page to determine which method you can use:

#'''USB''': Loading software from the USB port by flash drive. Restricted firmware has disallowed access to the built in functionality. This is also how modified firmware is flashed.
#'''Telnet''': For models with ethernet connectivity it is possible to gain telnet access via your computer network. Non ethernet models may also become network accessible by using a usb wi-fi dongle. This required that you have already obtained root acess and your your television has been modified to allow network access (less common way).
#'''Ex-link Port''' An Ex-link port or service port which allows direct connection from your computer to the television.

== The Ex-Link port ==
Many TV models are accessible through a serial port, called Ex-link. This port is addressed in the manuals as "connector for service only". It is a serial port, with a 3.5mm stereo jack as connector. To use it, you will need a serial cable with the right layout, which is given [[Enable_Serial_Console_on_non_CI%2B_Devices|'''here'''.]] On the same page you will find how to enter the service menu of your TV, at least for a number of older types. It would be wise to make or buy such a cable prior to changing your firmware in the event of a catastrophic event that requires this connection to recover your television functionality(unbrick your TV).

==SamyGO System Requirements==
#A television that is supported by SamyGo Software. See the [[Compatibility| compatibility list]] (Absence of your model '''does not mean''' that your model is absolutely not supported.)
#Your television must have a firmware software that is [[Is_my_TV_supported%3F|unrestricted]]. (Even if it's restricted, you have things that can help you regain access.)
#A computer with internet connection to download the required files.
#A little bit of courage and nerve to follow through the entire process.
#A USB drive formatted with FAT32. NOTE for windows users: DO NOT extract the files contained in the zip and rar files you download to an NTFS partition and then to your flash drive. Certain file attributes that are necessary for linux executable files and scripts are lost. A rule of thumb is ALWAYS extract the files you are going to use directly to the USB drive.
#If you're smart you'll also get a ex-link cable and take the previously stated necessary precautions (active debug and turn off watchdog in the service menu) to be ready in case the television gets bricked.

==Reverting back to unrestricted firmware==
Loading third party software has been limited with the latest versions of restricted firmware. If you are in the lucky group of television owners with unrestricted firmware then you can skip this section, you are in luck and can stop worrying about firmware restrictions! If your are in the unlucky group of restricted firmware (usually any firmware after dated updated in 2010) then you must revert back to an unrestricted firmware first prior running any SamyGO applications on your TV. Developers at SamyGO have made this a fairly simple process by using a script that automates this process. A list of supported television models and detailed instructions can be [[Forced_revert_back_to_older_firmware| found here]]. Please review all this in detail prior to proceeding with any modifications or running any scripts.

==Patching Firmware with the SamyGO Firmware Patcher==
B-series models (Non CI+) with older firmwares (pre february 2010) have firmware update files which are only trivially encrypted by Samsung and can be modified to allow additional functionality.The [[SamyGO_Firmware_Patcher| SamyGO firmware patch script]] is based on python a computer programming language and changes some of the startup scripts inside of the firmware. This allows additional functionality in the firmware.
Such functionality includes
# Applies the [[Video_AR_Fix|AR v1 Fix]]. This properly resizes the picture proportions n Samsung B series TVs
# Allows you to increase the size of srt subtitles shown in movie playback and
# Subtitle color can change as well. SamyGO favorite is yellow, (ARGB code for yellow is: 0xFFFFFF00, for original color: 0xFFF0F0F0)
# Telnet, advanced or patch.

Once the script completes you will have a new modified firmware with the aforementioned modifications. Once you flash this modified software to your television, you will enjoy the above enhancements but will also be able to run additional software which will enhance your television's functionality even further. This modified firmware makes it much easier to gain root access through [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Telnet telnet].

==Flashing your modified firmware==
This is outlined in your service manual.
#Make sure your firmware is copied to the root of your FAT32 formatted USB drive.
#You can reach the software upgrade menu from your remote control: Menu->Help->Software Upgrade->USB
#You get a pause for 30 secs while your TV searches for a valid firmware.
#Install your modified firmware.
#Remember altering your firmware and trying to install it carried risk of permanent damage. Please read the wiki and become acquainted with what you are trying to do.

If you are more adventurous and feel confident enough you can also update the firmware by direct access by using the exlink cable. Read about this: [[Enable_Serial_Console_on_non_CI%2B_Devices]].

==Using Content Library applications ==

If you have flashed the modified firmware or if you have an unrestricted firmware you can start playing and enjoying the [[Content_Library_applications_list|SamyGO applications]].

===What are SamyGO applications?===

They are applications written by developers that enhance the functionality of your Samsung TV. These are not so different from the apps that Samsung includes in their television e.g. twitter, display weather, news etc.
The major difference is that SamyGO apps provide advanced functionality but because they are not formally supported by Samsung, they require a different process to be launched.

===Where can I find a content Library application?===
There is a [[Content_Library_applications_list|wiki page]] where a list of apps can be found. This page typically has a brief description of the app functionality, a link to download the file as well as a link to the forum where the develop seeks, feedback, can help with troubleshooting etc.

===How do I install a SamyGO app?===
After you download the app, you should extract it directly to the root of your FAT32 formatted flash drive. Common extraction programs are winzip or winrar. You plug your Flash drive in a TV USB port.
If your TV is turned on a popup will appear that will prompt you to select:
Media play, content libary or software upgrade. Select Content Library.
In the content library menu select USB (left hand side) and move your highlighter to the games and/or children. You should see a list of the apps on your flash drive.

You have two options here. You can run the app from the flash drive or you can copy the app to the television internal memory.
To run an app highlight it, hit enter on your remote and then play.
If you don't get an error message then your app should be running.

===How many apps can I install on the internal memory of your TV? Do I still need the flash drive?===
You have a limited amount of memory in your television. This determines how many apps "fit on your TV". Regardless, you should always keep the flash drive plugged into the TV while your app is running, even if you copy it to your internal memory.

===Why should I install the app on my TV memory?===
Some apps run into problmes if your USB flash drive is not fast enough to convey data. Preferably these are the apps you want to install on your TV internal memory.

===I'm lost. There are so many apps on the list. Which one should I try first?===
This is a personal preference. If you are currently using DLNA to stream digital media to your TV then SamyGO Extensions is the app for you. Read about it here.

===I still don't get it. Can you walk me through this?===
If your TV is listed as supported, do not despair. You can get it to work.
One of our members maintains a page that has pictures and a step by step proces to launch a content libary app. [http://translate.google.com/translate?hl=us&sl=pl&tl=en&u=http%3A%2F%2Fmoras86.ugu.pl%2Fsamsung%2Ffaq%2F%23Internet_widgets Check it out here.] If all else fails, that's what the community support forum is there for.

==Using Internet@TV ==

===What is Internet@TV?===

Internet@TV is the name Samsung has given to their latest television appliances which converge the internet and televisions in once device. They are a collection of Samsung apps which due to their graphical user interface are called widgets. Samsung, in its short-sightedness decided that some of the newer widgets would not be made available to older television model owners. However these older televisions (B-series) can actually run the new widgets included in the C-series. Examples of these new widgets include: Google Maps, Facebook, USA today News etc.

===I can hack those widgets too?===

Well not exactly. But you can install widgets by setting up a webserver on your home computer that Samsung has not released for your television (B-series).

===How can install the widgets that I really want?===

1. First download the application [https://sourceforge.net/projects/xampp/files/ XAMPP]. This is an opensource apache distribution which includes a webserver. You install the application and launch the application xampp-control.exe from the main installation folder. If you are installing this for the first time you can start the application by accepting a prompt to start XAMPP control panel. Next press start Apache. You should get a confirmation that it is running.

2. Next you need to create an account on your television to setup widgets. After you turn on your TV pres the Internet@TV button. Wait a few seconds till it finishes loading. Create a new account and enter any PIN. Accept the changes

3. You need to add and update the list of widgets you want. First you need to select the widget series that you want for your TV. Examples can be found here.

'''Work in Progress'''

===I still don't get it. Can you help me?===
Well do not despair. The support forum is always available to assist you. You may want to try out one of member's website who has pics and [http://translate.google.com/translate?hl=us&sl=pl&tl=en&u=http://moras86.ugu.pl/samsung/faq/%23Internet_widgets step by step instructions].

==Using Hotel@USB ==
'''TODO'''


=Compatibility table (just for evaluation purposes)=
Below is a first draft of a new version of a comprehensive compatibility table for SamyGO. It is here for evaluation purposes, please feel free to comment on it in the forum. Since this is a still a draft, not all links are there yet, or working. Also probably not all models have been put in yet, and the ones that are there have not yet been completed, I'm still working on it (especially finding the links into the forum pages is a tough job).

The main changes are:

removal of the display type (I think you know what you bought)

Indication of access routes with letters.

combination of a whole bunch of options into a few columns

Oh, and never mind the thin blank lines in the table, they're just empty table entries.

Note: The SamyGO project is compatible with most of the other LN, LA, UN, or UA model TV's. We just haven't tested them yet. No need to get worried about that.

SamyGO for DUMMIES

2011-01-28T00:13:13Z

Rhesus98: /* Using Content Library applications */

I think we have a problem here in SamyGO. Older members tend to know a lot about embedded systems and their operating systems, but some newbies don't seem to know how to execute basic programs...
We thought that every one would know that, because of its relative simplicity. But we are wrong there. Also the Wiki pages are too overwhelming for some newbies.

I think we needed to create a wiki page `SamyGO for DUMMIES" and divert all newbies to that article before starting.
The article might mention about how you could execute programs on a TV or copy them to internal TV memory etc. Easy things, which we don't feel the need to talk a lot about.

So I created this page. Me and others will fill this area later on to show simple processes. Also put pictures about running steps of external applications from TV etc...

=Admin's Message for members to edit this page=
This is page for "dummies".

Please keep this page '''"simple as possible" and "modularized"''', means, do not put information if it's not really required and do not try to explain other article pages, just give a link to that article ( like Samba Mounting, firmware patcher etc...) Here needed to be just elementary information.

Thanks

=What is SamyGO?=
SamyGO started in the summer of 2009 as a thread at avsforum, under the title "Samsung LNXXA650 InfoLink hacking". This thread drew a lot of attention and slowly strayed away from its original topic towards rooting TV's and firmware hacking. It also got quite long, so Erdem U. Altinyurt and a few others decided to start a sourceforge project, specific for enhancement of the firmware of Samsung TV-sets, specifically aimed at models issued from 2008 onwards. Many people stayed on and came along from avsforum to sourceforge.

So that is what SamyGO is: A sourceforge project, aimed at enhancing firmware and functionality, specifically for Samsung TV models from 2008 onwards.

The activities of the SamyGO project comprise, but are not limited to:

#Gaining access to all available Samsung TV models from 2008 onwards (rooting).
#Active development of software extensions to enhance Samsung TV accessibility.
#Active development of applications to run on Samsung TV hardware.
#Giving support to project members who want to enhance their TV's functionality.

SamyGO is not a program that you can "just run" on your TV. Enhancing your hardware is not THAT simple. It requires some beginner and intermediate computer skills. The community will support you and is committed to helping you make this work for you. Remember however, that you need to do your part too. Read and try to understand. If you don't understand, ask in the appropriate forum. Proceed only once you understand what it is you are trying to achieve.

=I want more functionality from my TV. What do I need to do?=

# Find out whether your TV model is supported by SamyGO. See the supported models list at our homepage for that.
# Find out which firmware version your TV is equipped with. Newer firmwares are not (yet) supported by SamyGO. See also the supported models list.
# Checkout the access route for your TV, again, this is in the supported models list.
# Get access! Follow the tutorials in the Wiki pages for that.
# Install the software you like/need.
# Enjoy your improved equipment.

Each of these steps will be explained briefly.

=What is my TV model code and number ?=
[[File:Ue40b7020_model.png|right]]Model code and number are almost the same thing. The model number is a short form of the model code. This is a sample model code with the model number written bold.
'''UE40B7020'''WWXXC
You can read your model code from the sticker at the side or rear of your TV. Once you found the model, you can check whether it is supported by SamyGO [[Compatibility|here for A- and B-series]] and [[Compatibility_Table_for_C_series_TVs| here for C-series models.]]

=What is my firmware model and version ?=
You can learn your firmware number by entering the [[Service Menu]]. Read the detailed wiki page before proceeding with '''GREAT''' caution.

Do not change anything in the service menu until you understand what each setting does. The service menu is like entering the BIOS in a computer. It's where changes can be made to the "brain" that controls television functions. Making the wrong choice in a setting can result in a completely unexpected result and brick your television. To navigate the Service menu ''ONLY'' use the up and down button. Use enter to select and the previous button to return to the previous screen. '''DO NOT USE the RIGHT and LEFT''' buttons of your remote while navigating the service menu unless you know what you are trying to do. Using the left and right navigation butttons may change some variables that may easily brick your TV. If you do make a change to a menu, do not panic. Simply navigate in the opposite direction until the original variable is visible. This is by default the selected option.

To identify your firmware version you only need to enter the main screen of the service menu. You do not need to navigate to other Service menu pages. Identification of your firmware version is important to determine whether your television firmware is supported by SamyGO [[Compatibility|here for A- and B-series]] and here for[[Compatibility_Table_for_C_series_TVs| C-series models.]] You exit the Service menu by turning off the television.

=Is my TV a CI or a CI+ device?=
Samsung has implemented increasing encryption with each series of televsions it releases. Earlier models had no firmware encryption, subsequent firmware releases have [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/XOR_cipher XOR]cipher encryption and the latest firmware releases utilize both AES and XOR encryption. This encryption limits how much editing of a firmware can be done despite the fact that the software Samsung uses is opensource and [http://opensource.samsung.com/ publicly available] per GNU and GPL licensing terms. Knowing the type of firmware utilized is important because it determines what kind of access you can obtain in your television's operating system. There are two types of firmwares based on access, CI and CI+ devices.

A television from the C series is always a CI+ device. B series models have two possibilities: If there is a P in the last part of the model code, it is most likely a CI+ device. The firmware version installed on these TV's has the letters CIP in the firmware version code. Otherwise it is probably a CI device. A series devices do not have encryption.

Some examples:
LE40B652T4'''W'''XXU device uses T-CHL7DEUC firmware, which indicates it is a CI device.
LE40B652T2'''P'''XXU device uses T-CHLCIPDEUC firmware, which indicates it is a CI+ device.
UE40B7020W'''W'''XXC device uses T-CHU7DEUC firmware, which indicates it is a CI device.
'''TODO: Add some UN,UE and PS model "codes" here.'''

You can also find your firmware name and version number in the [[Service Menu]].
This is important to know because there are different software solutions depending on whether your TV is a CI or a CI+ device. Software developers frequently develop two versions of software to support these two types of firmwares. Knowing what kind of TV you have will allow you to select the appropriate SamyGO app.

=What are Restricted Firmwares?=
Restricted Firmwares are original Samsung firmwares which have been released after 01 February 2010. These firmwares have been restricted in many ways by Samsung and have limited how much access one can gain inside their television's operating system. Here in the SamyGO community, we believe this is a deliberate effort to hinder and disable our software development efforts. It is probably also required by the copyright holders of certain parts of the encryption/decryption software for CI+.

Functions that have been removed by the release of these Restricted Firmwares are:
*ExLink Access , that allows us Serial connection to TV's bash line.
*Removal of Top Debug Menu that let us allow to configure every property of TV.
*Removal of u-boot code for that we use to run External firmwares and un-bricking TV.
*Removal of program copy and execution ability from USB disks.
*Removal of Alternative firmware firmware section to avoid reverting older firmwares.
*Additional security enhancements to avoid to flash hacked firmwares.

(*'''TODO: Anything that I forgot?")

If you are interested in applying any of the SamyGO software enhancements to your television's firmware, it's better not to have received any of these firmwares. However, do not despair if you have had your television crippled by these "updates". The ingenuity and hard work of the developers of the SamyGO community have found several work-arounds that will allow you to restore your television to an older firmware that allows SamyGO applications to run. They have also simplified and automated part of this process as much as it is legally possible.

Unfortunately, if you have a restricted firmware, you can't just plug and play. There are several steps that you need to take to gain back "ownership" of your television. Several steps are involved including, copying programs to your TV memory by using an open vulnerabilities such as the "Children Menu" hack or the Nurisam Trojan. This will allow you to move applications to TV and enjoy additional features currently no possible...

=How can I get access to my TV?=
Samsung televisions have an embedded operating system based on linux. When you turn your television on you are essentially operating a computer as a user. You are given limited access to core parts of the operating system by design. If you want more control of what your television you must give it commands to run additional pieces of software with the functionality you desire. To do this you need to obtain access to the television's operating system as a [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Superuser superuser or with root access].
To control any Linux-based system, you need root access to it (Administrator privileges in Windows). Depending on the type of TV and version of the firmware, this can be achieved in a number of ways. In the compatibility tables you can find the methods that have been used successfully for each type (The list is not complete yet, work in progress).
Depending on the firmware and television model you may be able to do this with a simple software installation from a USB drive or you may need to install modified firmware or may need to revert to an older version of firmware that has not been restricted by Samsung.
You can gain access to your televisions operating in several ways.Consult the compatibility table at the bottom of this page to determine which method you can use:

#'''USB''': Loading software from the USB port by flash drive. Restricted firmware has disallowed access to the built in functionality. This is also how modified firmware is flashed.
#'''Telnet''': For models with ethernet connectivity it is possible to gain telnet access via your computer network. Non ethernet models may also become network accessible by using a usb wi-fi dongle. This required that you have already obtained root acess and your your television has been modified to allow network access (less common way).
#'''Ex-link Port''' An Ex-link port or service port which allows direct connection from your computer to the television.

== The Ex-Link port ==
Many TV models are accessible through a serial port, called Ex-link. This port is addressed in the manuals as "connector for service only". It is a serial port, with a 3.5mm stereo jack as connector. To use it, you will need a serial cable with the right layout, which is given [[Enable_Serial_Console_on_non_CI%2B_Devices|'''here'''.]] On the same page you will find how to enter the service menu of your TV, at least for a number of older types. It would be wise to make or buy such a cable prior to changing your firmware in the event of a catastrophic event that requires this connection to recover your television functionality(unbrick your TV).

==SamyGO System Requirements==
#A television that is supported by SamyGo Software. See the [[Compatibility| compatibility list]] (Absence of your model '''does not mean''' that your model is absolutely not supported.)
#Your television must have a firmware software that is [[Is_my_TV_supported%3F|unrestricted]]. (Even if it's restricted, you have things that can help you regain access.)
#A computer with internet connection to download the required files.
#A little bit of courage and nerve to follow through the entire process.
#A USB drive formatted with FAT32. NOTE for windows users: DO NOT extract the files contained in the zip and rar files you download to an NTFS partition and then to your flash drive. Certain file attributes that are necessary for linux executable files and scripts are lost. A rule of thumb is ALWAYS extract the files you are going to use directly to the USB drive.
#If you're smart you'll also get a ex-link cable and take the previously stated necessary precautions (active debug and turn off watchdog in the service menu) to be ready in case the television gets bricked.

==Reverting back to unrestricted firmware==
Loading third party software has been limited with the latest versions of restricted firmware. If you are in the lucky group of television owners with unrestricted firmware then you can skip this section, you are in luck and can stop worrying about firmware restrictions! If your are in the unlucky group of restricted firmware (usually any firmware after dated updated in 2010) then you must revert back to an unrestricted firmware first prior running any SamyGO applications on your TV. Developers at SamyGO have made this a fairly simple process by using a script that automates this process. A list of supported television models and detailed instructions can be [[Forced_revert_back_to_older_firmware| found here]]. Please review all this in detail prior to proceeding with any modifications or running any scripts.

==Patching Firmware with the SamyGO Firmware Patcher==
B-series models (Non CI+) with older firmwares (pre february 2010) have firmware update files which are only trivially encrypted by Samsung and can be modified to allow additional functionality.The [[SamyGO_Firmware_Patcher| SamyGO firmware patch script]] is based on python a computer programming language and changes some of the startup scripts inside of the firmware. This allows additional functionality in the firmware.
Such functionality includes
# Applies the [[Video_AR_Fix|AR v1 Fix]]. This properly resizes the picture proportions n Samsung B series TVs
# Allows you to increase the size of srt subtitles shown in movie playback and
# Subtitle color can change as well. SamyGO favorite is yellow, (ARGB code for yellow is: 0xFFFFFF00, for original color: 0xFFF0F0F0)
# Telnet, advanced or patch.

Once the script completes you will have a new modified firmware with the aforementioned modifications. Once you flash this modified software to your television, you will enjoy the above enhancements but will also be able to run additional software which will enhance your television's functionality even further. This modified firmware makes it much easier to gain root access through [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Telnet telnet].

==Flashing your modified firmware==
This is outlined in your service manual.
#Make sure your firmware is copied to the root of your FAT32 formatted USB drive.
#You can reach the software upgrade menu from your remote control: Menu->Help->Software Upgrade->USB
#You get a pause for 30 secs while your TV searches for a valid firmware.
#Install your modified firmware.
#Remember altering your firmware and trying to install it carried risk of permanent damage. Please read the wiki and become acquainted with what you are trying to do.

If you are more adventurous and feel confident enough you can also update the firmware by direct access by using the exlink cable. Read about this: [[Enable_Serial_Console_on_non_CI%2B_Devices]].

==Using Content Library applications ==

If you have flashed the modified firmware or if you have an unrestricted firmware you can start playing and enjoying the [[Content_Library_applications_list|SamyGO applications]].

===What are SamyGO applications?===

They are applications written by developers that enhance the functionality of your Samsung TV. These are not so different from the apps that Samsung includes in their television e.g. twitter, display weather, news etc.
The major difference is that SamyGO apps provide advanced functionality but because they are not formally supported by Samsung, they require a different process to be launched.

===Where can I find a content Library application?===
There is a [[Content_Library_applications_list|wiki page]] where a list of apps can be found. This page typically has a brief description of the app functionality, a link to download the file as well as a link to the forum where the develop seeks, feedback, can help with troubleshooting etc.

===How do I install a SamyGO app?===
After you download the app, you should extract it directly to the root of your FAT32 formatted flash drive. Common extraction programs are winzip or winrar. You plug your Flash drive in a TV USB port.
If your TV is turned on a popup will appear that will prompt you to select:
Media play, content libary or software upgrade. Select Content Library.
In the content library menu select USB (left hand side) and move your highlighter to the games and/or children. You should see a list of the apps on your flash drive.

You have two options here. You can run the app from the flash drive or you can copy the app to the television internal memory.
To run an app highlight it, hit enter on your remote and then play.
If you don't get an error message then your app should be running.

===How many apps can I install on the internal memory of your TV? Do I still need the flash drive?===
You have a limited amount of memory in your television. This determines how many apps "fit on your TV". Regardless, you should always keep the flash drive plugged into the TV while your app is running, even if you copy it to your internal memory.

===Why should I install the app on my TV memory?===
Some apps run into problmes if your USB flash drive is not fast enough to convey data. Preferably these are the apps you want to install on your TV internal memory.

===I'm lost. There are so many apps on the list. Which one should I try first?===
This is a personal preference. If you are currently using DLNA to stream digital media to your TV then SamyGO Extensions is the app for you. Read about it here.

===I still don't get it. Can you walk me through this?===
If your TV is listed as supported, do not despair. You can get it to work.
One of our members maintains a page that has pictures and a step by step proces to launch a content libary app. [http://translate.google.com/translate?hl=us&sl=pl&tl=en&u=http%3A%2F%2Fmoras86.ugu.pl%2Fsamsung%2Ffaq%2F%23Internet_widgets Check it out here.] If all else fails, that's what the community support forum is there for.

==Using Internet@TV ==

===What is Internet@TV?===

Internet@TV is the name Samsung has given to their latest television appliances which converge the internet and televisions in once device. They are a collection of Samsung apps which due to their graphical user interface are called widgets. Samsung, in its short-sightedness decided that some of the newer widgets would not be made available to older television model owners. However these older televisions (B-series) can actually run the new widgets included in the C-series. Examples of these new widgets include: Google Maps, Facebook, USA today News etc.

===I can hack those widgets too?===

Well not exactly. But you can install widgets by setting up a webserver on your home computer that Samsung has not released for your television (B-series).

===How can install the widgets that I really want?===

1. First download the application [https://sourceforge.net/projects/xampp/files/ XAMPP]. This is an opensource apache distribution which includes a webserver. You install the application and launch the application xampp-control.exe from the main installation folder. If you are installing this for the first time you can start the application by accepting a prompt to start XAMPP control panel. Next press start Apache. You should get a confirmation that it is running.

2. Next you need to create an account on your television to setup widgets. After you turn on your TV pres the Internet@TV button. Wait a few seconds till it finishes loading. Create a new account and enter any PIN. Accept the changes

3. You need to add and update the list of widgets you want. First you need to select the widget series that you want for your TV. Examples can be found here.

'''Work in Progress'''

===I still don't get it. Can you help me?===
Well do not despair. The support forum is always available to assist you. You may want to try out one of member's website who has pics and [http://translate.google.com/translate?hl=us&sl=pl&tl=en&u=http://moras86.ugu.pl/samsung/faq/%23Internet_widgets step by step instructions].

==Using Hotel@USB ==
'''TODO'''


=Compatibility table (just for evaluation purposes)=
Below is a first draft of a new version of a comprehensive compatibility table for SamyGO. It is here for evaluation purposes, please feel free to comment on it in the forum. Since this is a still a draft, not all links are there yet, or working. Also probably not all models have been put in yet, and the ones that are there have not yet been completed, I'm still working on it (especially finding the links into the forum pages is a tough job).

The main changes are:

removal of the display type (I think you know what you bought)

Indication of access routes with letters.

combination of a whole bunch of options into a few columns

Oh, and never mind the thin blank lines in the table, they're just empty table entries.

Note: The SamyGO project is compatible with most of the other LN, LA, UN, or UA model TV's. We just haven't tested them yet. No need to get worried about that.

SamyGO for DUMMIES

2011-01-28T00:10:35Z

Rhesus98: /* Flashing your modified firmware */

I think we have a problem here in SamyGO. Older members tend to know a lot about embedded systems and their operating systems, but some newbies don't seem to know how to execute basic programs...
We thought that every one would know that, because of its relative simplicity. But we are wrong there. Also the Wiki pages are too overwhelming for some newbies.

I think we needed to create a wiki page `SamyGO for DUMMIES" and divert all newbies to that article before starting.
The article might mention about how you could execute programs on a TV or copy them to internal TV memory etc. Easy things, which we don't feel the need to talk a lot about.

So I created this page. Me and others will fill this area later on to show simple processes. Also put pictures about running steps of external applications from TV etc...

=Admin's Message for members to edit this page=
This is page for "dummies".

Please keep this page '''"simple as possible" and "modularized"''', means, do not put information if it's not really required and do not try to explain other article pages, just give a link to that article ( like Samba Mounting, firmware patcher etc...) Here needed to be just elementary information.

Thanks

=What is SamyGO?=
SamyGO started in the summer of 2009 as a thread at avsforum, under the title "Samsung LNXXA650 InfoLink hacking". This thread drew a lot of attention and slowly strayed away from its original topic towards rooting TV's and firmware hacking. It also got quite long, so Erdem U. Altinyurt and a few others decided to start a sourceforge project, specific for enhancement of the firmware of Samsung TV-sets, specifically aimed at models issued from 2008 onwards. Many people stayed on and came along from avsforum to sourceforge.

So that is what SamyGO is: A sourceforge project, aimed at enhancing firmware and functionality, specifically for Samsung TV models from 2008 onwards.

The activities of the SamyGO project comprise, but are not limited to:

#Gaining access to all available Samsung TV models from 2008 onwards (rooting).
#Active development of software extensions to enhance Samsung TV accessibility.
#Active development of applications to run on Samsung TV hardware.
#Giving support to project members who want to enhance their TV's functionality.

SamyGO is not a program that you can "just run" on your TV. Enhancing your hardware is not THAT simple. It requires some beginner and intermediate computer skills. The community will support you and is committed to helping you make this work for you. Remember however, that you need to do your part too. Read and try to understand. If you don't understand, ask in the appropriate forum. Proceed only once you understand what it is you are trying to achieve.

=I want more functionality from my TV. What do I need to do?=

# Find out whether your TV model is supported by SamyGO. See the supported models list at our homepage for that.
# Find out which firmware version your TV is equipped with. Newer firmwares are not (yet) supported by SamyGO. See also the supported models list.
# Checkout the access route for your TV, again, this is in the supported models list.
# Get access! Follow the tutorials in the Wiki pages for that.
# Install the software you like/need.
# Enjoy your improved equipment.

Each of these steps will be explained briefly.

=What is my TV model code and number ?=
[[File:Ue40b7020_model.png|right]]Model code and number are almost the same thing. The model number is a short form of the model code. This is a sample model code with the model number written bold.
'''UE40B7020'''WWXXC
You can read your model code from the sticker at the side or rear of your TV. Once you found the model, you can check whether it is supported by SamyGO [[Compatibility|here for A- and B-series]] and [[Compatibility_Table_for_C_series_TVs| here for C-series models.]]

=What is my firmware model and version ?=
You can learn your firmware number by entering the [[Service Menu]]. Read the detailed wiki page before proceeding with '''GREAT''' caution.

Do not change anything in the service menu until you understand what each setting does. The service menu is like entering the BIOS in a computer. It's where changes can be made to the "brain" that controls television functions. Making the wrong choice in a setting can result in a completely unexpected result and brick your television. To navigate the Service menu ''ONLY'' use the up and down button. Use enter to select and the previous button to return to the previous screen. '''DO NOT USE the RIGHT and LEFT''' buttons of your remote while navigating the service menu unless you know what you are trying to do. Using the left and right navigation butttons may change some variables that may easily brick your TV. If you do make a change to a menu, do not panic. Simply navigate in the opposite direction until the original variable is visible. This is by default the selected option.

To identify your firmware version you only need to enter the main screen of the service menu. You do not need to navigate to other Service menu pages. Identification of your firmware version is important to determine whether your television firmware is supported by SamyGO [[Compatibility|here for A- and B-series]] and here for[[Compatibility_Table_for_C_series_TVs| C-series models.]] You exit the Service menu by turning off the television.

=Is my TV a CI or a CI+ device?=
Samsung has implemented increasing encryption with each series of televsions it releases. Earlier models had no firmware encryption, subsequent firmware releases have [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/XOR_cipher XOR]cipher encryption and the latest firmware releases utilize both AES and XOR encryption. This encryption limits how much editing of a firmware can be done despite the fact that the software Samsung uses is opensource and [http://opensource.samsung.com/ publicly available] per GNU and GPL licensing terms. Knowing the type of firmware utilized is important because it determines what kind of access you can obtain in your television's operating system. There are two types of firmwares based on access, CI and CI+ devices.

A television from the C series is always a CI+ device. B series models have two possibilities: If there is a P in the last part of the model code, it is most likely a CI+ device. The firmware version installed on these TV's has the letters CIP in the firmware version code. Otherwise it is probably a CI device. A series devices do not have encryption.

Some examples:
LE40B652T4'''W'''XXU device uses T-CHL7DEUC firmware, which indicates it is a CI device.
LE40B652T2'''P'''XXU device uses T-CHLCIPDEUC firmware, which indicates it is a CI+ device.
UE40B7020W'''W'''XXC device uses T-CHU7DEUC firmware, which indicates it is a CI device.
'''TODO: Add some UN,UE and PS model "codes" here.'''

You can also find your firmware name and version number in the [[Service Menu]].
This is important to know because there are different software solutions depending on whether your TV is a CI or a CI+ device. Software developers frequently develop two versions of software to support these two types of firmwares. Knowing what kind of TV you have will allow you to select the appropriate SamyGO app.

=What are Restricted Firmwares?=
Restricted Firmwares are original Samsung firmwares which have been released after 01 February 2010. These firmwares have been restricted in many ways by Samsung and have limited how much access one can gain inside their television's operating system. Here in the SamyGO community, we believe this is a deliberate effort to hinder and disable our software development efforts. It is probably also required by the copyright holders of certain parts of the encryption/decryption software for CI+.

Functions that have been removed by the release of these Restricted Firmwares are:
*ExLink Access , that allows us Serial connection to TV's bash line.
*Removal of Top Debug Menu that let us allow to configure every property of TV.
*Removal of u-boot code for that we use to run External firmwares and un-bricking TV.
*Removal of program copy and execution ability from USB disks.
*Removal of Alternative firmware firmware section to avoid reverting older firmwares.
*Additional security enhancements to avoid to flash hacked firmwares.

(*'''TODO: Anything that I forgot?")

If you are interested in applying any of the SamyGO software enhancements to your television's firmware, it's better not to have received any of these firmwares. However, do not despair if you have had your television crippled by these "updates". The ingenuity and hard work of the developers of the SamyGO community have found several work-arounds that will allow you to restore your television to an older firmware that allows SamyGO applications to run. They have also simplified and automated part of this process as much as it is legally possible.

Unfortunately, if you have a restricted firmware, you can't just plug and play. There are several steps that you need to take to gain back "ownership" of your television. Several steps are involved including, copying programs to your TV memory by using an open vulnerabilities such as the "Children Menu" hack or the Nurisam Trojan. This will allow you to move applications to TV and enjoy additional features currently no possible...

=How can I get access to my TV?=
Samsung televisions have an embedded operating system based on linux. When you turn your television on you are essentially operating a computer as a user. You are given limited access to core parts of the operating system by design. If you want more control of what your television you must give it commands to run additional pieces of software with the functionality you desire. To do this you need to obtain access to the television's operating system as a [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Superuser superuser or with root access].
To control any Linux-based system, you need root access to it (Administrator privileges in Windows). Depending on the type of TV and version of the firmware, this can be achieved in a number of ways. In the compatibility tables you can find the methods that have been used successfully for each type (The list is not complete yet, work in progress).
Depending on the firmware and television model you may be able to do this with a simple software installation from a USB drive or you may need to install modified firmware or may need to revert to an older version of firmware that has not been restricted by Samsung.
You can gain access to your televisions operating in several ways.Consult the compatibility table at the bottom of this page to determine which method you can use:

#'''USB''': Loading software from the USB port by flash drive. Restricted firmware has disallowed access to the built in functionality. This is also how modified firmware is flashed.
#'''Telnet''': For models with ethernet connectivity it is possible to gain telnet access via your computer network. Non ethernet models may also become network accessible by using a usb wi-fi dongle. This required that you have already obtained root acess and your your television has been modified to allow network access (less common way).
#'''Ex-link Port''' An Ex-link port or service port which allows direct connection from your computer to the television.

== The Ex-Link port ==
Many TV models are accessible through a serial port, called Ex-link. This port is addressed in the manuals as "connector for service only". It is a serial port, with a 3.5mm stereo jack as connector. To use it, you will need a serial cable with the right layout, which is given [[Enable_Serial_Console_on_non_CI%2B_Devices|'''here'''.]] On the same page you will find how to enter the service menu of your TV, at least for a number of older types. It would be wise to make or buy such a cable prior to changing your firmware in the event of a catastrophic event that requires this connection to recover your television functionality(unbrick your TV).

==SamyGO System Requirements==
#A television that is supported by SamyGo Software. See the [[Compatibility| compatibility list]] (Absence of your model '''does not mean''' that your model is absolutely not supported.)
#Your television must have a firmware software that is [[Is_my_TV_supported%3F|unrestricted]]. (Even if it's restricted, you have things that can help you regain access.)
#A computer with internet connection to download the required files.
#A little bit of courage and nerve to follow through the entire process.
#A USB drive formatted with FAT32. NOTE for windows users: DO NOT extract the files contained in the zip and rar files you download to an NTFS partition and then to your flash drive. Certain file attributes that are necessary for linux executable files and scripts are lost. A rule of thumb is ALWAYS extract the files you are going to use directly to the USB drive.
#If you're smart you'll also get a ex-link cable and take the previously stated necessary precautions (active debug and turn off watchdog in the service menu) to be ready in case the television gets bricked.

==Reverting back to unrestricted firmware==
Loading third party software has been limited with the latest versions of restricted firmware. If you are in the lucky group of television owners with unrestricted firmware then you can skip this section, you are in luck and can stop worrying about firmware restrictions! If your are in the unlucky group of restricted firmware (usually any firmware after dated updated in 2010) then you must revert back to an unrestricted firmware first prior running any SamyGO applications on your TV. Developers at SamyGO have made this a fairly simple process by using a script that automates this process. A list of supported television models and detailed instructions can be [[Forced_revert_back_to_older_firmware| found here]]. Please review all this in detail prior to proceeding with any modifications or running any scripts.

==Patching Firmware with the SamyGO Firmware Patcher==
B-series models (Non CI+) with older firmwares (pre february 2010) have firmware update files which are only trivially encrypted by Samsung and can be modified to allow additional functionality.The [[SamyGO_Firmware_Patcher| SamyGO firmware patch script]] is based on python a computer programming language and changes some of the startup scripts inside of the firmware. This allows additional functionality in the firmware.
Such functionality includes
# Applies the [[Video_AR_Fix|AR v1 Fix]]. This properly resizes the picture proportions n Samsung B series TVs
# Allows you to increase the size of srt subtitles shown in movie playback and
# Subtitle color can change as well. SamyGO favorite is yellow, (ARGB code for yellow is: 0xFFFFFF00, for original color: 0xFFF0F0F0)
# Telnet, advanced or patch.

Once the script completes you will have a new modified firmware with the aforementioned modifications. Once you flash this modified software to your television, you will enjoy the above enhancements but will also be able to run additional software which will enhance your television's functionality even further. This modified firmware makes it much easier to gain root access through [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Telnet telnet].

==Flashing your modified firmware==
This is outlined in your service manual.
#Make sure your firmware is copied to the root of your FAT32 formatted USB drive.
#You can reach the software upgrade menu from your remote control: Menu->Help->Software Upgrade->USB
#You get a pause for 30 secs while your TV searches for a valid firmware.
#Install your modified firmware.
#Remember altering your firmware and trying to install it carried risk of permanent damage. Please read the wiki and become acquainted with what you are trying to do.

If you are more adventurous and feel confident enough you can also update the firmware by direct access by using the exlink cable. Read about this: [[Enable_Serial_Console_on_non_CI%2B_Devices]].

==Using Content Library applications ==

If you have flashed the modified firmware or if you have an unrestricted firmware you can start playing and enjoying the [[Content_Library_applications_list|SamyGO applications]].

===What are SamyGO applications?===

They are applications written by developers that enhance the functionality of your Samsung TV. These are not so different from the apps that Samsung includes in their television e.g. twitter, display weather, news etc.
The major difference is that SamyGO apps provide advanced functionality but because they are not formally supported by Samsung, they require a different process to be launched.

===Where can I find a content Library application?===
There is a [[Content_Library_applications_list|wiki page]] where a list of apps can be found. This page typically has a brief description of the app functionality, a link to download the file as well as a link to the forum where the develop seeks, feedback, can help with troubleshooting etc.

===How do I install a SamyGO app?===
After you download the app, you should extract it directly to the root of your FAT32 formatted flash drive. Common extraction programs are winzip or winrar. You plug your Flash drive in a TV USB port.
If your TV is turned on a popup will appear that will prompt you to select:
Media play, content libary or software upgrade. Select Content Library.
In the content library menu select USB (left hand side) and move your highlighter to the games and/or children. You should see a list of the apps on your flash drive.

You have two options here. You can run the app from the flash drive or you can copy the app to the television internal memory.
To run an app highlight it, hit enter on your remote and then play.
If you don't get an error message then your app should be running.

===How many apps can I install on the internal memory of your TV? Do I still need the flash drive?===
You have a limited amount of memory in your television. This determines how many apps "fit on your TV". Regardless, you should always keep the flash drive plugged into the TV while your app is running, even if you copy it to your internal memory.

===Why should I install the app on my TV memory?===
Some apps run into problmes if your USB flash drive is not fast enough to convey data. Preferably these are the apps you want to install on your TV internal memory.

===I'm lost. There are so many apps on the list. Which one should I try first?===
This is a personal preference. If you are currently using DLNA to stream digital media to your TV then SamyGO Extensions is the app for you.

Extract the Extension pack which is appropriate for your Television model. This can be a bit tricky. If your television is listed as supported for SamyGO then one of the listed extensions is appropriate for your television. You must select the appropriate precompiled package for your television. If you want to compile your own, this wiki is probably too basic for you, [[SamyGO_Extensions_Pack|see this instead]].
If you select the wrong one, don't worry. The app simply won't do anything. To aid you in your selection refer [[SamyGO_Extensions_Pack#Is_this_stuff_compatible_with_your_tv|to this]] or ask for help in the appropriate [http://forum.samygo.tv/viewtopic.php?f=5&t=96|support forum].

From the content library you will see SamyGO extensions. Select, press enter and play.
Your screen will flash once for 1-2 seconds and revert back. Within a few seconds you should see a virtual USB connecting to your list of TV sources. This is great news. This is where you can access NFS(OSX,Linux,NAS) and CIFS/SAMBA (windows) shares from. This is also where you can access any standard UPNP DLNA server. The UPNP just works here unlike the buggy Samsung implementation.

===What the heck are you talking about? I can't access any NFS or SAMBA shares. What's wrong?===

For NFS: you should probably add the IP address of your NFS share IP address into the nfs mounting configuration file (03_03_nfsmount.init) . Use notepad++ or another text editor that is linux friendly. The default windows txt editor notepad will give you grief.

You can find this file in the following directory of your flash drive if you have extracted the SamyGO extensions as instructed above:
(USB flash drive Letter):\SamyGO\etc\init.d\03_03_nfsmount.init

Open this file with notepad++ and find the line the reads as follows:
##### YOU CAN CHANGE ME HERE ######
SERVER="'''Add your nfs share IP address here'''"
# SERVER="10.0.0.1" # if you want a fixed server (this is a sample what the above line should look like

If you are trying to mount a Samba (windows share) then you need to add your username and password to access that share to file names 04_04_samba.init.dis located here:
(USB flash drive Letter):\SamyGO\etc\init.d\04_04_samba.init.dis

it's pretty obvious where you need to add the required information:

##### CHANGE MEEEEE !!!!! ######
USER="'''ADD WINDOWS USERNAME HERE'''"
PASSWD="'''ADD PASSWORD HERE'''"
PERM="rw" # can be ro or rw
##### CHANGE MEEEEE END ######

Try activating SamyGO extensions again. You should be able to browse your networked file share as if all the files were on a USB drive attached to your TV. In fact, that's what the TV thinks it is doing, browsing a USB device. In fact its connecting to a virtual USB drive which allows you to use NFS, SAMBA or UPNP protocols to browse media files.

no more restarting your movie from the beginning if you lose your DLNA connection. You can resume your media playback right where you left off without having to copy files to a drive and attach them to your TV. To resume playing a media file you were previously playing, press the blue button on remote control at beginning of media playback (you should receive a media pIsn't it awesome.

===My media playback is not good. It keeps pausing?===
As much as we might enjoy pinning this on Samsung given the grief they have caused use with firmware encryption and restriction, this probably has to do with your network performance. If you are trying to stream a 1080p media file over a 802.11g wireless network you're going to run into such playback problems. If you use an ethernet cable or a wireless N connection you should be fine.

===I still don't get it. Can you walk me through this?===
If your TV is listed as supported, do not despair. You can get it to work.
One of our members maintains a page that has pictures and a step by step proces to launch a content libary app. [http://translate.google.com/translate?hl=us&sl=pl&tl=en&u=http%3A%2F%2Fmoras86.ugu.pl%2Fsamsung%2Ffaq%2F%23Internet_widgets Check it out here.] If all else fails, that's what the community support forum is there for.

==Using Internet@TV ==

===What is Internet@TV?===

Internet@TV is the name Samsung has given to their latest television appliances which converge the internet and televisions in once device. They are a collection of Samsung apps which due to their graphical user interface are called widgets. Samsung, in its short-sightedness decided that some of the newer widgets would not be made available to older television model owners. However these older televisions (B-series) can actually run the new widgets included in the C-series. Examples of these new widgets include: Google Maps, Facebook, USA today News etc.

===I can hack those widgets too?===

Well not exactly. But you can install widgets by setting up a webserver on your home computer that Samsung has not released for your television (B-series).

===How can install the widgets that I really want?===

1. First download the application [https://sourceforge.net/projects/xampp/files/ XAMPP]. This is an opensource apache distribution which includes a webserver. You install the application and launch the application xampp-control.exe from the main installation folder. If you are installing this for the first time you can start the application by accepting a prompt to start XAMPP control panel. Next press start Apache. You should get a confirmation that it is running.

2. Next you need to create an account on your television to setup widgets. After you turn on your TV pres the Internet@TV button. Wait a few seconds till it finishes loading. Create a new account and enter any PIN. Accept the changes

3. You need to add and update the list of widgets you want. First you need to select the widget series that you want for your TV. Examples can be found here.

'''Work in Progress'''

===I still don't get it. Can you help me?===
Well do not despair. The support forum is always available to assist you. You may want to try out one of member's website who has pics and [http://translate.google.com/translate?hl=us&sl=pl&tl=en&u=http://moras86.ugu.pl/samsung/faq/%23Internet_widgets step by step instructions].

'''TODO'''


=Compatibility table (just for evaluation purposes)=
Below is a first draft of a new version of a comprehensive compatibility table for SamyGO. It is here for evaluation purposes, please feel free to comment on it in the forum. Since this is a still a draft, not all links are there yet, or working. Also probably not all models have been put in yet, and the ones that are there have not yet been completed, I'm still working on it (especially finding the links into the forum pages is a tough job).

The main changes are:

removal of the display type (I think you know what you bought)

Indication of access routes with letters.

combination of a whole bunch of options into a few columns

Oh, and never mind the thin blank lines in the table, they're just empty table entries.

Note: The SamyGO project is compatible with most of the other LN, LA, UN, or UA model TV's. We just haven't tested them yet. No need to get worried about that.

SamyGO for DUMMIES

2011-01-28T00:04:14Z

Rhesus98: /* Reverting back to unrestricted firmware */

I think we have a problem here in SamyGO. Older members tend to know a lot about embedded systems and their operating systems, but some newbies don't seem to know how to execute basic programs...
We thought that every one would know that, because of its relative simplicity. But we are wrong there. Also the Wiki pages are too overwhelming for some newbies.

I think we needed to create a wiki page `SamyGO for DUMMIES" and divert all newbies to that article before starting.
The article might mention about how you could execute programs on a TV or copy them to internal TV memory etc. Easy things, which we don't feel the need to talk a lot about.

So I created this page. Me and others will fill this area later on to show simple processes. Also put pictures about running steps of external applications from TV etc...

=Admin's Message for members to edit this page=
This is page for "dummies".

Please keep this page '''"simple as possible" and "modularized"''', means, do not put information if it's not really required and do not try to explain other article pages, just give a link to that article ( like Samba Mounting, firmware patcher etc...) Here needed to be just elementary information.

Thanks

=What is SamyGO?=
SamyGO started in the summer of 2009 as a thread at avsforum, under the title "Samsung LNXXA650 InfoLink hacking". This thread drew a lot of attention and slowly strayed away from its original topic towards rooting TV's and firmware hacking. It also got quite long, so Erdem U. Altinyurt and a few others decided to start a sourceforge project, specific for enhancement of the firmware of Samsung TV-sets, specifically aimed at models issued from 2008 onwards. Many people stayed on and came along from avsforum to sourceforge.

So that is what SamyGO is: A sourceforge project, aimed at enhancing firmware and functionality, specifically for Samsung TV models from 2008 onwards.

The activities of the SamyGO project comprise, but are not limited to:

#Gaining access to all available Samsung TV models from 2008 onwards (rooting).
#Active development of software extensions to enhance Samsung TV accessibility.
#Active development of applications to run on Samsung TV hardware.
#Giving support to project members who want to enhance their TV's functionality.

SamyGO is not a program that you can "just run" on your TV. Enhancing your hardware is not THAT simple. It requires some beginner and intermediate computer skills. The community will support you and is committed to helping you make this work for you. Remember however, that you need to do your part too. Read and try to understand. If you don't understand, ask in the appropriate forum. Proceed only once you understand what it is you are trying to achieve.

=I want more functionality from my TV. What do I need to do?=

# Find out whether your TV model is supported by SamyGO. See the supported models list at our homepage for that.
# Find out which firmware version your TV is equipped with. Newer firmwares are not (yet) supported by SamyGO. See also the supported models list.
# Checkout the access route for your TV, again, this is in the supported models list.
# Get access! Follow the tutorials in the Wiki pages for that.
# Install the software you like/need.
# Enjoy your improved equipment.

Each of these steps will be explained briefly.

=What is my TV model code and number ?=
[[File:Ue40b7020_model.png|right]]Model code and number are almost the same thing. The model number is a short form of the model code. This is a sample model code with the model number written bold.
'''UE40B7020'''WWXXC
You can read your model code from the sticker at the side or rear of your TV. Once you found the model, you can check whether it is supported by SamyGO [[Compatibility|here for A- and B-series]] and [[Compatibility_Table_for_C_series_TVs| here for C-series models.]]

=What is my firmware model and version ?=
You can learn your firmware number by entering the [[Service Menu]]. Read the detailed wiki page before proceeding with '''GREAT''' caution.

Do not change anything in the service menu until you understand what each setting does. The service menu is like entering the BIOS in a computer. It's where changes can be made to the "brain" that controls television functions. Making the wrong choice in a setting can result in a completely unexpected result and brick your television. To navigate the Service menu ''ONLY'' use the up and down button. Use enter to select and the previous button to return to the previous screen. '''DO NOT USE the RIGHT and LEFT''' buttons of your remote while navigating the service menu unless you know what you are trying to do. Using the left and right navigation butttons may change some variables that may easily brick your TV. If you do make a change to a menu, do not panic. Simply navigate in the opposite direction until the original variable is visible. This is by default the selected option.

To identify your firmware version you only need to enter the main screen of the service menu. You do not need to navigate to other Service menu pages. Identification of your firmware version is important to determine whether your television firmware is supported by SamyGO [[Compatibility|here for A- and B-series]] and here for[[Compatibility_Table_for_C_series_TVs| C-series models.]] You exit the Service menu by turning off the television.

=Is my TV a CI or a CI+ device?=
Samsung has implemented increasing encryption with each series of televsions it releases. Earlier models had no firmware encryption, subsequent firmware releases have [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/XOR_cipher XOR]cipher encryption and the latest firmware releases utilize both AES and XOR encryption. This encryption limits how much editing of a firmware can be done despite the fact that the software Samsung uses is opensource and [http://opensource.samsung.com/ publicly available] per GNU and GPL licensing terms. Knowing the type of firmware utilized is important because it determines what kind of access you can obtain in your television's operating system. There are two types of firmwares based on access, CI and CI+ devices.

A television from the C series is always a CI+ device. B series models have two possibilities: If there is a P in the last part of the model code, it is most likely a CI+ device. The firmware version installed on these TV's has the letters CIP in the firmware version code. Otherwise it is probably a CI device. A series devices do not have encryption.

Some examples:
LE40B652T4'''W'''XXU device uses T-CHL7DEUC firmware, which indicates it is a CI device.
LE40B652T2'''P'''XXU device uses T-CHLCIPDEUC firmware, which indicates it is a CI+ device.
UE40B7020W'''W'''XXC device uses T-CHU7DEUC firmware, which indicates it is a CI device.
'''TODO: Add some UN,UE and PS model "codes" here.'''

You can also find your firmware name and version number in the [[Service Menu]].
This is important to know because there are different software solutions depending on whether your TV is a CI or a CI+ device. Software developers frequently develop two versions of software to support these two types of firmwares. Knowing what kind of TV you have will allow you to select the appropriate SamyGO app.

=What are Restricted Firmwares?=
Restricted Firmwares are original Samsung firmwares which have been released after 01 February 2010. These firmwares have been restricted in many ways by Samsung and have limited how much access one can gain inside their television's operating system. Here in the SamyGO community, we believe this is a deliberate effort to hinder and disable our software development efforts. It is probably also required by the copyright holders of certain parts of the encryption/decryption software for CI+.

Functions that have been removed by the release of these Restricted Firmwares are:
*ExLink Access , that allows us Serial connection to TV's bash line.
*Removal of Top Debug Menu that let us allow to configure every property of TV.
*Removal of u-boot code for that we use to run External firmwares and un-bricking TV.
*Removal of program copy and execution ability from USB disks.
*Removal of Alternative firmware firmware section to avoid reverting older firmwares.
*Additional security enhancements to avoid to flash hacked firmwares.

(*'''TODO: Anything that I forgot?")

If you are interested in applying any of the SamyGO software enhancements to your television's firmware, it's better not to have received any of these firmwares. However, do not despair if you have had your television crippled by these "updates". The ingenuity and hard work of the developers of the SamyGO community have found several work-arounds that will allow you to restore your television to an older firmware that allows SamyGO applications to run. They have also simplified and automated part of this process as much as it is legally possible.

Unfortunately, if you have a restricted firmware, you can't just plug and play. There are several steps that you need to take to gain back "ownership" of your television. Several steps are involved including, copying programs to your TV memory by using an open vulnerabilities such as the "Children Menu" hack or the Nurisam Trojan. This will allow you to move applications to TV and enjoy additional features currently no possible...

=How can I get access to my TV?=
Samsung televisions have an embedded operating system based on linux. When you turn your television on you are essentially operating a computer as a user. You are given limited access to core parts of the operating system by design. If you want more control of what your television you must give it commands to run additional pieces of software with the functionality you desire. To do this you need to obtain access to the television's operating system as a [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Superuser superuser or with root access].
To control any Linux-based system, you need root access to it (Administrator privileges in Windows). Depending on the type of TV and version of the firmware, this can be achieved in a number of ways. In the compatibility tables you can find the methods that have been used successfully for each type (The list is not complete yet, work in progress).
Depending on the firmware and television model you may be able to do this with a simple software installation from a USB drive or you may need to install modified firmware or may need to revert to an older version of firmware that has not been restricted by Samsung.
You can gain access to your televisions operating in several ways.Consult the compatibility table at the bottom of this page to determine which method you can use:

#'''USB''': Loading software from the USB port by flash drive. Restricted firmware has disallowed access to the built in functionality. This is also how modified firmware is flashed.
#'''Telnet''': For models with ethernet connectivity it is possible to gain telnet access via your computer network. Non ethernet models may also become network accessible by using a usb wi-fi dongle. This required that you have already obtained root acess and your your television has been modified to allow network access (less common way).
#'''Ex-link Port''' An Ex-link port or service port which allows direct connection from your computer to the television.

== The Ex-Link port ==
Many TV models are accessible through a serial port, called Ex-link. This port is addressed in the manuals as "connector for service only". It is a serial port, with a 3.5mm stereo jack as connector. To use it, you will need a serial cable with the right layout, which is given [[Enable_Serial_Console_on_non_CI%2B_Devices|'''here'''.]] On the same page you will find how to enter the service menu of your TV, at least for a number of older types. It would be wise to make or buy such a cable prior to changing your firmware in the event of a catastrophic event that requires this connection to recover your television functionality(unbrick your TV).

==SamyGO System Requirements==
#A television that is supported by SamyGo Software. See the [[Compatibility| compatibility list]] (Absence of your model '''does not mean''' that your model is absolutely not supported.)
#Your television must have a firmware software that is [[Is_my_TV_supported%3F|unrestricted]]. (Even if it's restricted, you have things that can help you regain access.)
#A computer with internet connection to download the required files.
#A little bit of courage and nerve to follow through the entire process.
#A USB drive formatted with FAT32. NOTE for windows users: DO NOT extract the files contained in the zip and rar files you download to an NTFS partition and then to your flash drive. Certain file attributes that are necessary for linux executable files and scripts are lost. A rule of thumb is ALWAYS extract the files you are going to use directly to the USB drive.
#If you're smart you'll also get a ex-link cable and take the previously stated necessary precautions (active debug and turn off watchdog in the service menu) to be ready in case the television gets bricked.

==Reverting back to unrestricted firmware==
Loading third party software has been limited with the latest versions of restricted firmware. If you are in the lucky group of television owners with unrestricted firmware then you can skip this section, you are in luck and can stop worrying about firmware restrictions! If your are in the unlucky group of restricted firmware (usually any firmware after dated updated in 2010) then you must revert back to an unrestricted firmware first prior running any SamyGO applications on your TV. Developers at SamyGO have made this a fairly simple process by using a script that automates this process. A list of supported television models and detailed instructions can be [[Forced_revert_back_to_older_firmware| found here]]. Please review all this in detail prior to proceeding with any modifications or running any scripts.

==Patching Firmware with the SamyGO Firmware Patcher==
B-series models (Non CI+) with older firmwares (pre february 2010) have firmware update files which are only trivially encrypted by Samsung and can be modified to allow additional functionality.The [[SamyGO_Firmware_Patcher| SamyGO firmware patch script]] is based on python a computer programming language and changes some of the startup scripts inside of the firmware. This allows additional functionality in the firmware.
Such functionality includes
# Applies the [[Video_AR_Fix|AR v1 Fix]]. This properly resizes the picture proportions n Samsung B series TVs
# Allows you to increase the size of srt subtitles shown in movie playback and
# Subtitle color can change as well. SamyGO favorite is yellow, (ARGB code for yellow is: 0xFFFFFF00, for original color: 0xFFF0F0F0)
# Telnet, advanced or patch.

Once the script completes you will have a new modified firmware with the aforementioned modifications. Once you flash this modified software to your television, you will enjoy the above enhancements but will also be able to run additional software which will enhance your television's functionality even further. This modified firmware makes it much easier to gain root access through [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Telnet telnet].

==Flashing your modified firmware==
#Make sure your firmware is copied to the root of your FAT32 formatted USB drive.
#You can reach the software upgrade menu from your remote control: Menu->Help->Software Upgrade->USB
#You get a pause for 30 secs while your TV searches for a valid firmware.
#Install your modified firmware.
#Remember altering your firmware and trying to install it carried risk of permanent damage. Please read the wiki and become acquainted with what you are trying to do.

If you are more adventurous and feel confident enough you can also update the firmware by direct access by using the exlink cable.

==Using Content Library applications ==

If you have flashed the modified firmware or if you have an unrestricted firmware you can start playing and enjoying the [[Content_Library_applications_list|SamyGO applications]].

===What are SamyGO applications?===

They are applications written by developers that enhance the functionality of your Samsung TV. These are not so different from the apps that Samsung includes in their television e.g. twitter, display weather, news etc.
The major difference is that SamyGO apps provide advanced functionality but because they are not formally supported by Samsung, they require a different process to be launched.

===Where can I find a content Library application?===
There is a [[Content_Library_applications_list|wiki page]] where a list of apps can be found. This page typically has a brief description of the app functionality, a link to download the file as well as a link to the forum where the develop seeks, feedback, can help with troubleshooting etc.

===How do I install a SamyGO app?===
After you download the app, you should extract it directly to the root of your FAT32 formatted flash drive. Common extraction programs are winzip or winrar. You plug your Flash drive in a TV USB port.
If your TV is turned on a popup will appear that will prompt you to select:
Media play, content libary or software upgrade. Select Content Library.
In the content library menu select USB (left hand side) and move your highlighter to the games and/or children. You should see a list of the apps on your flash drive.

You have two options here. You can run the app from the flash drive or you can copy the app to the television internal memory.
To run an app highlight it, hit enter on your remote and then play.
If you don't get an error message then your app should be running.

===How many apps can I install on the internal memory of your TV? Do I still need the flash drive?===
You have a limited amount of memory in your television. This determines how many apps "fit on your TV". Regardless, you should always keep the flash drive plugged into the TV while your app is running, even if you copy it to your internal memory.

===Why should I install the app on my TV memory?===
Some apps run into problmes if your USB flash drive is not fast enough to convey data. Preferably these are the apps you want to install on your TV internal memory.

===I'm lost. There are so many apps on the list. Which one should I try first?===
This is a personal preference. If you are currently using DLNA to stream digital media to your TV then SamyGO Extensions is the app for you.

Extract the Extension pack which is appropriate for your Television model. This can be a bit tricky. If your television is listed as supported for SamyGO then one of the listed extensions is appropriate for your television. You must select the appropriate precompiled package for your television. If you want to compile your own, this wiki is probably too basic for you, [[SamyGO_Extensions_Pack|see this instead]].
If you select the wrong one, don't worry. The app simply won't do anything. To aid you in your selection refer [[SamyGO_Extensions_Pack#Is_this_stuff_compatible_with_your_tv|to this]] or ask for help in the appropriate [http://forum.samygo.tv/viewtopic.php?f=5&t=96|support forum].

From the content library you will see SamyGO extensions. Select, press enter and play.
Your screen will flash once for 1-2 seconds and revert back. Within a few seconds you should see a virtual USB connecting to your list of TV sources. This is great news. This is where you can access NFS(OSX,Linux,NAS) and CIFS/SAMBA (windows) shares from. This is also where you can access any standard UPNP DLNA server. The UPNP just works here unlike the buggy Samsung implementation.

===What the heck are you talking about? I can't access any NFS or SAMBA shares. What's wrong?===

For NFS: you should probably add the IP address of your NFS share IP address into the nfs mounting configuration file (03_03_nfsmount.init) . Use notepad++ or another text editor that is linux friendly. The default windows txt editor notepad will give you grief.

You can find this file in the following directory of your flash drive if you have extracted the SamyGO extensions as instructed above:
(USB flash drive Letter):\SamyGO\etc\init.d\03_03_nfsmount.init

Open this file with notepad++ and find the line the reads as follows:
##### YOU CAN CHANGE ME HERE ######
SERVER="'''Add your nfs share IP address here'''"
# SERVER="10.0.0.1" # if you want a fixed server (this is a sample what the above line should look like

If you are trying to mount a Samba (windows share) then you need to add your username and password to access that share to file names 04_04_samba.init.dis located here:
(USB flash drive Letter):\SamyGO\etc\init.d\04_04_samba.init.dis

it's pretty obvious where you need to add the required information:

##### CHANGE MEEEEE !!!!! ######
USER="'''ADD WINDOWS USERNAME HERE'''"
PASSWD="'''ADD PASSWORD HERE'''"
PERM="rw" # can be ro or rw
##### CHANGE MEEEEE END ######

Try activating SamyGO extensions again. You should be able to browse your networked file share as if all the files were on a USB drive attached to your TV. In fact, that's what the TV thinks it is doing, browsing a USB device. In fact its connecting to a virtual USB drive which allows you to use NFS, SAMBA or UPNP protocols to browse media files.

no more restarting your movie from the beginning if you lose your DLNA connection. You can resume your media playback right where you left off without having to copy files to a drive and attach them to your TV. To resume playing a media file you were previously playing, press the blue button on remote control at beginning of media playback (you should receive a media pIsn't it awesome.

===My media playback is not good. It keeps pausing?===
As much as we might enjoy pinning this on Samsung given the grief they have caused use with firmware encryption and restriction, this probably has to do with your network performance. If you are trying to stream a 1080p media file over a 802.11g wireless network you're going to run into such playback problems. If you use an ethernet cable or a wireless N connection you should be fine.

===I still don't get it. Can you walk me through this?===
If your TV is listed as supported, do not despair. You can get it to work.
One of our members maintains a page that has pictures and a step by step proces to launch a content libary app. [http://translate.google.com/translate?hl=us&sl=pl&tl=en&u=http%3A%2F%2Fmoras86.ugu.pl%2Fsamsung%2Ffaq%2F%23Internet_widgets Check it out here.] If all else fails, that's what the community support forum is there for.

==Using Internet@TV ==

===What is Internet@TV?===

Internet@TV is the name Samsung has given to their latest television appliances which converge the internet and televisions in once device. They are a collection of Samsung apps which due to their graphical user interface are called widgets. Samsung, in its short-sightedness decided that some of the newer widgets would not be made available to older television model owners. However these older televisions (B-series) can actually run the new widgets included in the C-series. Examples of these new widgets include: Google Maps, Facebook, USA today News etc.

===I can hack those widgets too?===

Well not exactly. But you can install widgets by setting up a webserver on your home computer that Samsung has not released for your television (B-series).

===How can install the widgets that I really want?===

1. First download the application [https://sourceforge.net/projects/xampp/files/ XAMPP]. This is an opensource apache distribution which includes a webserver. You install the application and launch the application xampp-control.exe from the main installation folder. If you are installing this for the first time you can start the application by accepting a prompt to start XAMPP control panel. Next press start Apache. You should get a confirmation that it is running.

2. Next you need to create an account on your television to setup widgets. After you turn on your TV pres the Internet@TV button. Wait a few seconds till it finishes loading. Create a new account and enter any PIN. Accept the changes

3. You need to add and update the list of widgets you want. First you need to select the widget series that you want for your TV. Examples can be found here.

'''Work in Progress'''

===I still don't get it. Can you help me?===
Well do not despair. The support forum is always available to assist you. You may want to try out one of member's website who has pics and [http://translate.google.com/translate?hl=us&sl=pl&tl=en&u=http://moras86.ugu.pl/samsung/faq/%23Internet_widgets step by step instructions].

==Using Hotel@USB ==
'''TODO'''


=Compatibility table (just for evaluation purposes)=
Below is a first draft of a new version of a comprehensive compatibility table for SamyGO. It is here for evaluation purposes, please feel free to comment on it in the forum. Since this is a still a draft, not all links are there yet, or working. Also probably not all models have been put in yet, and the ones that are there have not yet been completed, I'm still working on it (especially finding the links into the forum pages is a tough job).

The main changes are:

removal of the display type (I think you know what you bought)

Indication of access routes with letters.

combination of a whole bunch of options into a few columns

Oh, and never mind the thin blank lines in the table, they're just empty table entries.

Note: The SamyGO project is compatible with most of the other LN, LA, UN, or UA model TV's. We just haven't tested them yet. No need to get worried about that.

SamyGO for DUMMIES

2011-01-28T00:02:22Z

Rhesus98: /* Patching Firmware with the SamyGO Firmware Patcher */

I think we have a problem here in SamyGO. Older members tend to know a lot about embedded systems and their operating systems, but some newbies don't seem to know how to execute basic programs...
We thought that every one would know that, because of its relative simplicity. But we are wrong there. Also the Wiki pages are too overwhelming for some newbies.

I think we needed to create a wiki page `SamyGO for DUMMIES" and divert all newbies to that article before starting.
The article might mention about how you could execute programs on a TV or copy them to internal TV memory etc. Easy things, which we don't feel the need to talk a lot about.

So I created this page. Me and others will fill this area later on to show simple processes. Also put pictures about running steps of external applications from TV etc...

=Admin's Message for members to edit this page=
This is page for "dummies".

Please keep this page '''"simple as possible" and "modularized"''', means, do not put information if it's not really required and do not try to explain other article pages, just give a link to that article ( like Samba Mounting, firmware patcher etc...) Here needed to be just elementary information.

Thanks

=What is SamyGO?=
SamyGO started in the summer of 2009 as a thread at avsforum, under the title "Samsung LNXXA650 InfoLink hacking". This thread drew a lot of attention and slowly strayed away from its original topic towards rooting TV's and firmware hacking. It also got quite long, so Erdem U. Altinyurt and a few others decided to start a sourceforge project, specific for enhancement of the firmware of Samsung TV-sets, specifically aimed at models issued from 2008 onwards. Many people stayed on and came along from avsforum to sourceforge.

So that is what SamyGO is: A sourceforge project, aimed at enhancing firmware and functionality, specifically for Samsung TV models from 2008 onwards.

The activities of the SamyGO project comprise, but are not limited to:

#Gaining access to all available Samsung TV models from 2008 onwards (rooting).
#Active development of software extensions to enhance Samsung TV accessibility.
#Active development of applications to run on Samsung TV hardware.
#Giving support to project members who want to enhance their TV's functionality.

SamyGO is not a program that you can "just run" on your TV. Enhancing your hardware is not THAT simple. It requires some beginner and intermediate computer skills. The community will support you and is committed to helping you make this work for you. Remember however, that you need to do your part too. Read and try to understand. If you don't understand, ask in the appropriate forum. Proceed only once you understand what it is you are trying to achieve.

=I want more functionality from my TV. What do I need to do?=

# Find out whether your TV model is supported by SamyGO. See the supported models list at our homepage for that.
# Find out which firmware version your TV is equipped with. Newer firmwares are not (yet) supported by SamyGO. See also the supported models list.
# Checkout the access route for your TV, again, this is in the supported models list.
# Get access! Follow the tutorials in the Wiki pages for that.
# Install the software you like/need.
# Enjoy your improved equipment.

Each of these steps will be explained briefly.

=What is my TV model code and number ?=
[[File:Ue40b7020_model.png|right]]Model code and number are almost the same thing. The model number is a short form of the model code. This is a sample model code with the model number written bold.
'''UE40B7020'''WWXXC
You can read your model code from the sticker at the side or rear of your TV. Once you found the model, you can check whether it is supported by SamyGO [[Compatibility|here for A- and B-series]] and [[Compatibility_Table_for_C_series_TVs| here for C-series models.]]

=What is my firmware model and version ?=
You can learn your firmware number by entering the [[Service Menu]]. Read the detailed wiki page before proceeding with '''GREAT''' caution.

Do not change anything in the service menu until you understand what each setting does. The service menu is like entering the BIOS in a computer. It's where changes can be made to the "brain" that controls television functions. Making the wrong choice in a setting can result in a completely unexpected result and brick your television. To navigate the Service menu ''ONLY'' use the up and down button. Use enter to select and the previous button to return to the previous screen. '''DO NOT USE the RIGHT and LEFT''' buttons of your remote while navigating the service menu unless you know what you are trying to do. Using the left and right navigation butttons may change some variables that may easily brick your TV. If you do make a change to a menu, do not panic. Simply navigate in the opposite direction until the original variable is visible. This is by default the selected option.

To identify your firmware version you only need to enter the main screen of the service menu. You do not need to navigate to other Service menu pages. Identification of your firmware version is important to determine whether your television firmware is supported by SamyGO [[Compatibility|here for A- and B-series]] and here for[[Compatibility_Table_for_C_series_TVs| C-series models.]] You exit the Service menu by turning off the television.

=Is my TV a CI or a CI+ device?=
Samsung has implemented increasing encryption with each series of televsions it releases. Earlier models had no firmware encryption, subsequent firmware releases have [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/XOR_cipher XOR]cipher encryption and the latest firmware releases utilize both AES and XOR encryption. This encryption limits how much editing of a firmware can be done despite the fact that the software Samsung uses is opensource and [http://opensource.samsung.com/ publicly available] per GNU and GPL licensing terms. Knowing the type of firmware utilized is important because it determines what kind of access you can obtain in your television's operating system. There are two types of firmwares based on access, CI and CI+ devices.

A television from the C series is always a CI+ device. B series models have two possibilities: If there is a P in the last part of the model code, it is most likely a CI+ device. The firmware version installed on these TV's has the letters CIP in the firmware version code. Otherwise it is probably a CI device. A series devices do not have encryption.

Some examples:
LE40B652T4'''W'''XXU device uses T-CHL7DEUC firmware, which indicates it is a CI device.
LE40B652T2'''P'''XXU device uses T-CHLCIPDEUC firmware, which indicates it is a CI+ device.
UE40B7020W'''W'''XXC device uses T-CHU7DEUC firmware, which indicates it is a CI device.
'''TODO: Add some UN,UE and PS model "codes" here.'''

You can also find your firmware name and version number in the [[Service Menu]].
This is important to know because there are different software solutions depending on whether your TV is a CI or a CI+ device. Software developers frequently develop two versions of software to support these two types of firmwares. Knowing what kind of TV you have will allow you to select the appropriate SamyGO app.

=What are Restricted Firmwares?=
Restricted Firmwares are original Samsung firmwares which have been released after 01 February 2010. These firmwares have been restricted in many ways by Samsung and have limited how much access one can gain inside their television's operating system. Here in the SamyGO community, we believe this is a deliberate effort to hinder and disable our software development efforts. It is probably also required by the copyright holders of certain parts of the encryption/decryption software for CI+.

Functions that have been removed by the release of these Restricted Firmwares are:
*ExLink Access , that allows us Serial connection to TV's bash line.
*Removal of Top Debug Menu that let us allow to configure every property of TV.
*Removal of u-boot code for that we use to run External firmwares and un-bricking TV.
*Removal of program copy and execution ability from USB disks.
*Removal of Alternative firmware firmware section to avoid reverting older firmwares.
*Additional security enhancements to avoid to flash hacked firmwares.

(*'''TODO: Anything that I forgot?")

If you are interested in applying any of the SamyGO software enhancements to your television's firmware, it's better not to have received any of these firmwares. However, do not despair if you have had your television crippled by these "updates". The ingenuity and hard work of the developers of the SamyGO community have found several work-arounds that will allow you to restore your television to an older firmware that allows SamyGO applications to run. They have also simplified and automated part of this process as much as it is legally possible.

Unfortunately, if you have a restricted firmware, you can't just plug and play. There are several steps that you need to take to gain back "ownership" of your television. Several steps are involved including, copying programs to your TV memory by using an open vulnerabilities such as the "Children Menu" hack or the Nurisam Trojan. This will allow you to move applications to TV and enjoy additional features currently no possible...

=How can I get access to my TV?=
Samsung televisions have an embedded operating system based on linux. When you turn your television on you are essentially operating a computer as a user. You are given limited access to core parts of the operating system by design. If you want more control of what your television you must give it commands to run additional pieces of software with the functionality you desire. To do this you need to obtain access to the television's operating system as a [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Superuser superuser or with root access].
To control any Linux-based system, you need root access to it (Administrator privileges in Windows). Depending on the type of TV and version of the firmware, this can be achieved in a number of ways. In the compatibility tables you can find the methods that have been used successfully for each type (The list is not complete yet, work in progress).
Depending on the firmware and television model you may be able to do this with a simple software installation from a USB drive or you may need to install modified firmware or may need to revert to an older version of firmware that has not been restricted by Samsung.
You can gain access to your televisions operating in several ways.Consult the compatibility table at the bottom of this page to determine which method you can use:

#'''USB''': Loading software from the USB port by flash drive. Restricted firmware has disallowed access to the built in functionality. This is also how modified firmware is flashed.
#'''Telnet''': For models with ethernet connectivity it is possible to gain telnet access via your computer network. Non ethernet models may also become network accessible by using a usb wi-fi dongle. This required that you have already obtained root acess and your your television has been modified to allow network access (less common way).
#'''Ex-link Port''' An Ex-link port or service port which allows direct connection from your computer to the television.

== The Ex-Link port ==
Many TV models are accessible through a serial port, called Ex-link. This port is addressed in the manuals as "connector for service only". It is a serial port, with a 3.5mm stereo jack as connector. To use it, you will need a serial cable with the right layout, which is given [[Enable_Serial_Console_on_non_CI%2B_Devices|'''here'''.]] On the same page you will find how to enter the service menu of your TV, at least for a number of older types. It would be wise to make or buy such a cable prior to changing your firmware in the event of a catastrophic event that requires this connection to recover your television functionality(unbrick your TV).

==SamyGO System Requirements==
#A television that is supported by SamyGo Software. See the [[Compatibility| compatibility list]] (Absence of your model '''does not mean''' that your model is absolutely not supported.)
#Your television must have a firmware software that is [[Is_my_TV_supported%3F|unrestricted]]. (Even if it's restricted, you have things that can help you regain access.)
#A computer with internet connection to download the required files.
#A little bit of courage and nerve to follow through the entire process.
#A USB drive formatted with FAT32. NOTE for windows users: DO NOT extract the files contained in the zip and rar files you download to an NTFS partition and then to your flash drive. Certain file attributes that are necessary for linux executable files and scripts are lost. A rule of thumb is ALWAYS extract the files you are going to use directly to the USB drive.
#If you're smart you'll also get a ex-link cable and take the previously stated necessary precautions (active debug and turn off watchdog in the service menu) to be ready in case the television gets bricked.

==Reverting back to unrestricted firmware==
Loading third party software has been limited with the latest versions of restricted firmware. If you are in the lucky group of television owners with unrestricted firmware then you can skip this section, you are in luck! If your are in the unlucky group of restricted firmware (usually any firmware after dated updated in 2010) then you must revert back to an unrestricted firmware first prior running any SamyGO applications on your TV. Developers at SamyGO have made this a fairly simple process by using a script that automates this process. A list of supported television models and detailed instructions can be [[Forced_revert_back_to_older_firmware| found here]]. Please review all this in detail prior to proceeding with any modifications or running any scripts. The summary below only emphasizes certain key points:

#Use the script FFB only if your television is supported. Only certain CI models are supported at this time. If your model is not listed and it's a CI television then consider asking for support in the appropriate section of the SamyGO forum.
#Prior to running the script, you '''MUST''' have your full firmware downloaded and extracted on the root of your USB drive. You can download your firmware from [http://www.samsung.com/us/support/downloads/ Samsung download center]. That link is just an example for US TV models. Similar Samsung websites are available for every market where Samsung products are sold.
#Prior to running this script you must also add some missing files to the firmware directory. These vary by television model but are necessary to restore the u-boot function, the kernel and other files that the restricted firmware has removed to limit access to your television . These files (u-boot.bin, Image and fnw.bin) are '''SPECIFIC''' to your television model. They are typically added in the image subdirectory of your firmware on the USB flash drive. If you can't find the specific files for your television model posted on the forums, then ask in the support forum for help. '''DO NOT attempt''' to run this script without having all the required files.
#You may used either original firmware or patched firmware with the FFB script. If you want to use the patched firmware.
#Remember, the SamyGO community is not liable for any damages that are caused to you or your property in the event of a catastrophic event (brick your TV) related to things you do to your television. The community does this for recreational purposes and has had great success. In the event that your television is damaged we can not be held liable but we will do our best to help you recover your bricked TV.

==Patching Firmware with the SamyGO Firmware Patcher==
B-series models (Non CI+) with older firmwares (pre february 2010) have firmware update files which are only trivially encrypted by Samsung and can be modified to allow additional functionality.The [[SamyGO_Firmware_Patcher| SamyGO firmware patch script]] is based on python a computer programming language and changes some of the startup scripts inside of the firmware. This allows additional functionality in the firmware.
Such functionality includes
# Applies the [[Video_AR_Fix|AR v1 Fix]]. This properly resizes the picture proportions n Samsung B series TVs
# Allows you to increase the size of srt subtitles shown in movie playback and
# Subtitle color can change as well. SamyGO favorite is yellow, (ARGB code for yellow is: 0xFFFFFF00, for original color: 0xFFF0F0F0)
# Telnet, advanced or patch.

Once the script completes you will have a new modified firmware with the aforementioned modifications. Once you flash this modified software to your television, you will enjoy the above enhancements but will also be able to run additional software which will enhance your television's functionality even further. This modified firmware makes it much easier to gain root access through [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Telnet telnet].

==Flashing your modified firmware==
#Make sure your firmware is copied to the root of your FAT32 formatted USB drive.
#You can reach the software upgrade menu from your remote control: Menu->Help->Software Upgrade->USB
#You get a pause for 30 secs while your TV searches for a valid firmware.
#Install your modified firmware.
#Remember altering your firmware and trying to install it carried risk of permanent damage. Please read the wiki and become acquainted with what you are trying to do.

If you are more adventurous and feel confident enough you can also update the firmware by direct access by using the exlink cable.

==Using Content Library applications ==

If you have flashed the modified firmware or if you have an unrestricted firmware you can start playing and enjoying the [[Content_Library_applications_list|SamyGO applications]].

===What are SamyGO applications?===

They are applications written by developers that enhance the functionality of your Samsung TV. These are not so different from the apps that Samsung includes in their television e.g. twitter, display weather, news etc.
The major difference is that SamyGO apps provide advanced functionality but because they are not formally supported by Samsung, they require a different process to be launched.

===Where can I find a content Library application?===
There is a [[Content_Library_applications_list|wiki page]] where a list of apps can be found. This page typically has a brief description of the app functionality, a link to download the file as well as a link to the forum where the develop seeks, feedback, can help with troubleshooting etc.

===How do I install a SamyGO app?===
After you download the app, you should extract it directly to the root of your FAT32 formatted flash drive. Common extraction programs are winzip or winrar. You plug your Flash drive in a TV USB port.
If your TV is turned on a popup will appear that will prompt you to select:
Media play, content libary or software upgrade. Select Content Library.
In the content library menu select USB (left hand side) and move your highlighter to the games and/or children. You should see a list of the apps on your flash drive.

You have two options here. You can run the app from the flash drive or you can copy the app to the television internal memory.
To run an app highlight it, hit enter on your remote and then play.
If you don't get an error message then your app should be running.

===How many apps can I install on the internal memory of your TV? Do I still need the flash drive?===
You have a limited amount of memory in your television. This determines how many apps "fit on your TV". Regardless, you should always keep the flash drive plugged into the TV while your app is running, even if you copy it to your internal memory.

===Why should I install the app on my TV memory?===
Some apps run into problmes if your USB flash drive is not fast enough to convey data. Preferably these are the apps you want to install on your TV internal memory.

===I'm lost. There are so many apps on the list. Which one should I try first?===
This is a personal preference. If you are currently using DLNA to stream digital media to your TV then SamyGO Extensions is the app for you.

Extract the Extension pack which is appropriate for your Television model. This can be a bit tricky. If your television is listed as supported for SamyGO then one of the listed extensions is appropriate for your television. You must select the appropriate precompiled package for your television. If you want to compile your own, this wiki is probably too basic for you, [[SamyGO_Extensions_Pack|see this instead]].
If you select the wrong one, don't worry. The app simply won't do anything. To aid you in your selection refer [[SamyGO_Extensions_Pack#Is_this_stuff_compatible_with_your_tv|to this]] or ask for help in the appropriate [http://forum.samygo.tv/viewtopic.php?f=5&t=96|support forum].

From the content library you will see SamyGO extensions. Select, press enter and play.
Your screen will flash once for 1-2 seconds and revert back. Within a few seconds you should see a virtual USB connecting to your list of TV sources. This is great news. This is where you can access NFS(OSX,Linux,NAS) and CIFS/SAMBA (windows) shares from. This is also where you can access any standard UPNP DLNA server. The UPNP just works here unlike the buggy Samsung implementation.

===What the heck are you talking about? I can't access any NFS or SAMBA shares. What's wrong?===

For NFS: you should probably add the IP address of your NFS share IP address into the nfs mounting configuration file (03_03_nfsmount.init) . Use notepad++ or another text editor that is linux friendly. The default windows txt editor notepad will give you grief.

You can find this file in the following directory of your flash drive if you have extracted the SamyGO extensions as instructed above:
(USB flash drive Letter):\SamyGO\etc\init.d\03_03_nfsmount.init

Open this file with notepad++ and find the line the reads as follows:
##### YOU CAN CHANGE ME HERE ######
SERVER="'''Add your nfs share IP address here'''"
# SERVER="10.0.0.1" # if you want a fixed server (this is a sample what the above line should look like

If you are trying to mount a Samba (windows share) then you need to add your username and password to access that share to file names 04_04_samba.init.dis located here:
(USB flash drive Letter):\SamyGO\etc\init.d\04_04_samba.init.dis

it's pretty obvious where you need to add the required information:

##### CHANGE MEEEEE !!!!! ######
USER="'''ADD WINDOWS USERNAME HERE'''"
PASSWD="'''ADD PASSWORD HERE'''"
PERM="rw" # can be ro or rw
##### CHANGE MEEEEE END ######

Try activating SamyGO extensions again. You should be able to browse your networked file share as if all the files were on a USB drive attached to your TV. In fact, that's what the TV thinks it is doing, browsing a USB device. In fact its connecting to a virtual USB drive which allows you to use NFS, SAMBA or UPNP protocols to browse media files.

no more restarting your movie from the beginning if you lose your DLNA connection. You can resume your media playback right where you left off without having to copy files to a drive and attach them to your TV. To resume playing a media file you were previously playing, press the blue button on remote control at beginning of media playback (you should receive a media pIsn't it awesome.

===My media playback is not good. It keeps pausing?===
As much as we might enjoy pinning this on Samsung given the grief they have caused use with firmware encryption and restriction, this probably has to do with your network performance. If you are trying to stream a 1080p media file over a 802.11g wireless network you're going to run into such playback problems. If you use an ethernet cable or a wireless N connection you should be fine.

===I still don't get it. Can you walk me through this?===
If your TV is listed as supported, do not despair. You can get it to work.
One of our members maintains a page that has pictures and a step by step proces to launch a content libary app. [http://translate.google.com/translate?hl=us&sl=pl&tl=en&u=http%3A%2F%2Fmoras86.ugu.pl%2Fsamsung%2Ffaq%2F%23Internet_widgets Check it out here.] If all else fails, that's what the community support forum is there for.

==Using Internet@TV ==

===What is Internet@TV?===

Internet@TV is the name Samsung has given to their latest television appliances which converge the internet and televisions in once device. They are a collection of Samsung apps which due to their graphical user interface are called widgets. Samsung, in its short-sightedness decided that some of the newer widgets would not be made available to older television model owners. However these older televisions (B-series) can actually run the new widgets included in the C-series. Examples of these new widgets include: Google Maps, Facebook, USA today News etc.

===I can hack those widgets too?===

Well not exactly. But you can install widgets by setting up a webserver on your home computer that Samsung has not released for your television (B-series).

===How can install the widgets that I really want?===

1. First download the application [https://sourceforge.net/projects/xampp/files/ XAMPP]. This is an opensource apache distribution which includes a webserver. You install the application and launch the application xampp-control.exe from the main installation folder. If you are installing this for the first time you can start the application by accepting a prompt to start XAMPP control panel. Next press start Apache. You should get a confirmation that it is running.

2. Next you need to create an account on your television to setup widgets. After you turn on your TV pres the Internet@TV button. Wait a few seconds till it finishes loading. Create a new account and enter any PIN. Accept the changes

3. You need to add and update the list of widgets you want. First you need to select the widget series that you want for your TV. Examples can be found here.

'''Work in Progress'''

===I still don't get it. Can you help me?===
Well do not despair. The support forum is always available to assist you. You may want to try out one of member's website who has pics and [http://translate.google.com/translate?hl=us&sl=pl&tl=en&u=http://moras86.ugu.pl/samsung/faq/%23Internet_widgets step by step instructions].

==Using Hotel@USB ==
'''TODO'''


=Compatibility table (just for evaluation purposes)=
Below is a first draft of a new version of a comprehensive compatibility table for SamyGO. It is here for evaluation purposes, please feel free to comment on it in the forum. Since this is a still a draft, not all links are there yet, or working. Also probably not all models have been put in yet, and the ones that are there have not yet been completed, I'm still working on it (especially finding the links into the forum pages is a tough job).

The main changes are:

removal of the display type (I think you know what you bought)

Indication of access routes with letters.

combination of a whole bunch of options into a few columns

Oh, and never mind the thin blank lines in the table, they're just empty table entries.

Note: The SamyGO project is compatible with most of the other LN, LA, UN, or UA model TV's. We just haven't tested them yet. No need to get worried about that.

SamyGO for DUMMIES

2011-01-27T23:59:30Z

Rhesus98: /* Is my TV a CI or a CI+ device? */

I think we have a problem here in SamyGO. Older members tend to know a lot about embedded systems and their operating systems, but some newbies don't seem to know how to execute basic programs...
We thought that every one would know that, because of its relative simplicity. But we are wrong there. Also the Wiki pages are too overwhelming for some newbies.

I think we needed to create a wiki page `SamyGO for DUMMIES" and divert all newbies to that article before starting.
The article might mention about how you could execute programs on a TV or copy them to internal TV memory etc. Easy things, which we don't feel the need to talk a lot about.

So I created this page. Me and others will fill this area later on to show simple processes. Also put pictures about running steps of external applications from TV etc...

=Admin's Message for members to edit this page=
This is page for "dummies".

Please keep this page '''"simple as possible" and "modularized"''', means, do not put information if it's not really required and do not try to explain other article pages, just give a link to that article ( like Samba Mounting, firmware patcher etc...) Here needed to be just elementary information.

Thanks

=What is SamyGO?=
SamyGO started in the summer of 2009 as a thread at avsforum, under the title "Samsung LNXXA650 InfoLink hacking". This thread drew a lot of attention and slowly strayed away from its original topic towards rooting TV's and firmware hacking. It also got quite long, so Erdem U. Altinyurt and a few others decided to start a sourceforge project, specific for enhancement of the firmware of Samsung TV-sets, specifically aimed at models issued from 2008 onwards. Many people stayed on and came along from avsforum to sourceforge.

So that is what SamyGO is: A sourceforge project, aimed at enhancing firmware and functionality, specifically for Samsung TV models from 2008 onwards.

The activities of the SamyGO project comprise, but are not limited to:

#Gaining access to all available Samsung TV models from 2008 onwards (rooting).
#Active development of software extensions to enhance Samsung TV accessibility.
#Active development of applications to run on Samsung TV hardware.
#Giving support to project members who want to enhance their TV's functionality.

SamyGO is not a program that you can "just run" on your TV. Enhancing your hardware is not THAT simple. It requires some beginner and intermediate computer skills. The community will support you and is committed to helping you make this work for you. Remember however, that you need to do your part too. Read and try to understand. If you don't understand, ask in the appropriate forum. Proceed only once you understand what it is you are trying to achieve.

=I want more functionality from my TV. What do I need to do?=

# Find out whether your TV model is supported by SamyGO. See the supported models list at our homepage for that.
# Find out which firmware version your TV is equipped with. Newer firmwares are not (yet) supported by SamyGO. See also the supported models list.
# Checkout the access route for your TV, again, this is in the supported models list.
# Get access! Follow the tutorials in the Wiki pages for that.
# Install the software you like/need.
# Enjoy your improved equipment.

Each of these steps will be explained briefly.

=What is my TV model code and number ?=
[[File:Ue40b7020_model.png|right]]Model code and number are almost the same thing. The model number is a short form of the model code. This is a sample model code with the model number written bold.
'''UE40B7020'''WWXXC
You can read your model code from the sticker at the side or rear of your TV. Once you found the model, you can check whether it is supported by SamyGO [[Compatibility|here for A- and B-series]] and [[Compatibility_Table_for_C_series_TVs| here for C-series models.]]

=What is my firmware model and version ?=
You can learn your firmware number by entering the [[Service Menu]]. Read the detailed wiki page before proceeding with '''GREAT''' caution.

Do not change anything in the service menu until you understand what each setting does. The service menu is like entering the BIOS in a computer. It's where changes can be made to the "brain" that controls television functions. Making the wrong choice in a setting can result in a completely unexpected result and brick your television. To navigate the Service menu ''ONLY'' use the up and down button. Use enter to select and the previous button to return to the previous screen. '''DO NOT USE the RIGHT and LEFT''' buttons of your remote while navigating the service menu unless you know what you are trying to do. Using the left and right navigation butttons may change some variables that may easily brick your TV. If you do make a change to a menu, do not panic. Simply navigate in the opposite direction until the original variable is visible. This is by default the selected option.

To identify your firmware version you only need to enter the main screen of the service menu. You do not need to navigate to other Service menu pages. Identification of your firmware version is important to determine whether your television firmware is supported by SamyGO [[Compatibility|here for A- and B-series]] and here for[[Compatibility_Table_for_C_series_TVs| C-series models.]] You exit the Service menu by turning off the television.

=Is my TV a CI or a CI+ device?=
Samsung has implemented increasing encryption with each series of televsions it releases. Earlier models had no firmware encryption, subsequent firmware releases have [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/XOR_cipher XOR]cipher encryption and the latest firmware releases utilize both AES and XOR encryption. This encryption limits how much editing of a firmware can be done despite the fact that the software Samsung uses is opensource and [http://opensource.samsung.com/ publicly available] per GNU and GPL licensing terms. Knowing the type of firmware utilized is important because it determines what kind of access you can obtain in your television's operating system. There are two types of firmwares based on access, CI and CI+ devices.

A television from the C series is always a CI+ device. B series models have two possibilities: If there is a P in the last part of the model code, it is most likely a CI+ device. The firmware version installed on these TV's has the letters CIP in the firmware version code. Otherwise it is probably a CI device. A series devices do not have encryption.

Some examples:
LE40B652T4'''W'''XXU device uses T-CHL7DEUC firmware, which indicates it is a CI device.
LE40B652T2'''P'''XXU device uses T-CHLCIPDEUC firmware, which indicates it is a CI+ device.
UE40B7020W'''W'''XXC device uses T-CHU7DEUC firmware, which indicates it is a CI device.
'''TODO: Add some UN,UE and PS model "codes" here.'''

You can also find your firmware name and version number in the [[Service Menu]].
This is important to know because there are different software solutions depending on whether your TV is a CI or a CI+ device. Software developers frequently develop two versions of software to support these two types of firmwares. Knowing what kind of TV you have will allow you to select the appropriate SamyGO app.

=What are Restricted Firmwares?=
Restricted Firmwares are original Samsung firmwares which have been released after 01 February 2010. These firmwares have been restricted in many ways by Samsung and have limited how much access one can gain inside their television's operating system. Here in the SamyGO community, we believe this is a deliberate effort to hinder and disable our software development efforts. It is probably also required by the copyright holders of certain parts of the encryption/decryption software for CI+.

Functions that have been removed by the release of these Restricted Firmwares are:
*ExLink Access , that allows us Serial connection to TV's bash line.
*Removal of Top Debug Menu that let us allow to configure every property of TV.
*Removal of u-boot code for that we use to run External firmwares and un-bricking TV.
*Removal of program copy and execution ability from USB disks.
*Removal of Alternative firmware firmware section to avoid reverting older firmwares.
*Additional security enhancements to avoid to flash hacked firmwares.

(*'''TODO: Anything that I forgot?")

If you are interested in applying any of the SamyGO software enhancements to your television's firmware, it's better not to have received any of these firmwares. However, do not despair if you have had your television crippled by these "updates". The ingenuity and hard work of the developers of the SamyGO community have found several work-arounds that will allow you to restore your television to an older firmware that allows SamyGO applications to run. They have also simplified and automated part of this process as much as it is legally possible.

Unfortunately, if you have a restricted firmware, you can't just plug and play. There are several steps that you need to take to gain back "ownership" of your television. Several steps are involved including, copying programs to your TV memory by using an open vulnerabilities such as the "Children Menu" hack or the Nurisam Trojan. This will allow you to move applications to TV and enjoy additional features currently no possible...

=How can I get access to my TV?=
Samsung televisions have an embedded operating system based on linux. When you turn your television on you are essentially operating a computer as a user. You are given limited access to core parts of the operating system by design. If you want more control of what your television you must give it commands to run additional pieces of software with the functionality you desire. To do this you need to obtain access to the television's operating system as a [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Superuser superuser or with root access].
To control any Linux-based system, you need root access to it (Administrator privileges in Windows). Depending on the type of TV and version of the firmware, this can be achieved in a number of ways. In the compatibility tables you can find the methods that have been used successfully for each type (The list is not complete yet, work in progress).
Depending on the firmware and television model you may be able to do this with a simple software installation from a USB drive or you may need to install modified firmware or may need to revert to an older version of firmware that has not been restricted by Samsung.
You can gain access to your televisions operating in several ways.Consult the compatibility table at the bottom of this page to determine which method you can use:

#'''USB''': Loading software from the USB port by flash drive. Restricted firmware has disallowed access to the built in functionality. This is also how modified firmware is flashed.
#'''Telnet''': For models with ethernet connectivity it is possible to gain telnet access via your computer network. Non ethernet models may also become network accessible by using a usb wi-fi dongle. This required that you have already obtained root acess and your your television has been modified to allow network access (less common way).
#'''Ex-link Port''' An Ex-link port or service port which allows direct connection from your computer to the television.

== The Ex-Link port ==
Many TV models are accessible through a serial port, called Ex-link. This port is addressed in the manuals as "connector for service only". It is a serial port, with a 3.5mm stereo jack as connector. To use it, you will need a serial cable with the right layout, which is given [[Enable_Serial_Console_on_non_CI%2B_Devices|'''here'''.]] On the same page you will find how to enter the service menu of your TV, at least for a number of older types. It would be wise to make or buy such a cable prior to changing your firmware in the event of a catastrophic event that requires this connection to recover your television functionality(unbrick your TV).

==SamyGO System Requirements==
#A television that is supported by SamyGo Software. See the [[Compatibility| compatibility list]] (Absence of your model '''does not mean''' that your model is absolutely not supported.)
#Your television must have a firmware software that is [[Is_my_TV_supported%3F|unrestricted]]. (Even if it's restricted, you have things that can help you regain access.)
#A computer with internet connection to download the required files.
#A little bit of courage and nerve to follow through the entire process.
#A USB drive formatted with FAT32. NOTE for windows users: DO NOT extract the files contained in the zip and rar files you download to an NTFS partition and then to your flash drive. Certain file attributes that are necessary for linux executable files and scripts are lost. A rule of thumb is ALWAYS extract the files you are going to use directly to the USB drive.
#If you're smart you'll also get a ex-link cable and take the previously stated necessary precautions (active debug and turn off watchdog in the service menu) to be ready in case the television gets bricked.

==Reverting back to unrestricted firmware==
Loading third party software has been limited with the latest versions of restricted firmware. If you are in the lucky group of television owners with unrestricted firmware then you can skip this section, you are in luck! If your are in the unlucky group of restricted firmware (usually any firmware after dated updated in 2010) then you must revert back to an unrestricted firmware first prior running any SamyGO applications on your TV. Developers at SamyGO have made this a fairly simple process by using a script that automates this process. A list of supported television models and detailed instructions can be [[Forced_revert_back_to_older_firmware| found here]]. Please review all this in detail prior to proceeding with any modifications or running any scripts. The summary below only emphasizes certain key points:

#Use the script FFB only if your television is supported. Only certain CI models are supported at this time. If your model is not listed and it's a CI television then consider asking for support in the appropriate section of the SamyGO forum.
#Prior to running the script, you '''MUST''' have your full firmware downloaded and extracted on the root of your USB drive. You can download your firmware from [http://www.samsung.com/us/support/downloads/ Samsung download center]. That link is just an example for US TV models. Similar Samsung websites are available for every market where Samsung products are sold.
#Prior to running this script you must also add some missing files to the firmware directory. These vary by television model but are necessary to restore the u-boot function, the kernel and other files that the restricted firmware has removed to limit access to your television . These files (u-boot.bin, Image and fnw.bin) are '''SPECIFIC''' to your television model. They are typically added in the image subdirectory of your firmware on the USB flash drive. If you can't find the specific files for your television model posted on the forums, then ask in the support forum for help. '''DO NOT attempt''' to run this script without having all the required files.
#You may used either original firmware or patched firmware with the FFB script. If you want to use the patched firmware.
#Remember, the SamyGO community is not liable for any damages that are caused to you or your property in the event of a catastrophic event (brick your TV) related to things you do to your television. The community does this for recreational purposes and has had great success. In the event that your television is damaged we can not be held liable but we will do our best to help you recover your bricked TV.

==Patching Firmware with the SamyGO Firmware Patcher==
B-series models (Non CI+) with older firmwares (pre february 2010) have firmware update files which are only trivially encrypted by Samsung and can be modified to allow additional functionality.The [[SamyGO_Firmware_Patcher| SamyGO firmware patch script]] is based on python a computer programming language and changes some of the startup scripts inside of the firmware. This allows additional functionality in the firmware.
Such functionality includes
# Applies the [[Video_AR_Fix|AR v1 Fix]]. This properly resizes the picture proportions n Samsung B series TVs
# Allows you to increase the size of srt subtitles shown in movie playback and
# Subtitle color can change as well. SamyGO favorite is yellow, (ARGB code for yellow is: 0xFFFFFF00, for original color: 0xFFF0F0F0)
# Telnet, advanced or patch.

Once the script completes you will have a new modified firmware with the aforementioned modifications. Once you flash this modified software to your television, you will enjoy the above enhancements but will also be able to run additional software which will enhance your television's functionality even further. This modified firmware makes it much easier to gain root access through [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Telnet telnet]. Telnet is a small program that enables remote access to another computer. For windows, you can use PuTTY. This remote access is required, since (at least at this stage) there is no mouse or keyboard attached to your TV. The full use of the SamyGO firmware patcher is explained [[SamyGO_Firmware_Patcher|'''here'''.]] Do '''NOT''' proceed until you review and understand the posted instructions. New users will likely not use the advanced option yet because it does requires advanced modifications that if done incorrectly can brick your tv. You are advised to make or buy an ex-link cable for recovery, especially true if you decide to use the advanced option.
The following points do not substitute the wiki for the patch scripter but simply highlight some key points:
#You must download and install python version 2.6. Do not install a different version, you may encounter script errors.
#For windows users, it may be easiest to place the directory with the extracted original firmware inside the python26 directory. By default, the windows installer places the python executable files at the root of your hard drive, usually inside C:\\python26. If you own a
#Open a command prompt window in windows (Start menu->All Programs->Accessories->Command prompt) or just (Windows Key+R) and type Code
cmd
#Change the active directory to C:\python26. You can use this with the cd command
cd c:\\python26
#When you download the script you may have to rename it to SamyGO.py to keep things simple. It will also be easiest if you extract the original firmware inside the python26 directory. Your firmware then should be located in C:\\python26\T-CHEAUSC\
#In order for the script to run successfully, you must give the entire proper command line to run it. Double clicking the script, dragging and dropping the file icon will not work. The command structure is: "python SamyGO.py <your extracted firmware directory>"
A sample command for a television owner who has T-CHEAUSC firmware would be :
python SamyGO.py ./T-CHEAUSC
If this is working correctly you should see a the script running in the command prompt window. Decrypting key with XOR key: T-CHEAUSC etc....
#Answer the prompts to the questions. Your answer will determine how the firmware will be patched.
#Once the script finishes you should get confirmation that it completed successfully.
#Copy the directory with your firmware to your FAT32 USB drive root, in this case the folder is T-CHEAUSC located inside the c:\\python26 directory and should be copied to (USB Drive letter):\T-CHEAUSC
#Once you are ready can update to this firmware using the software upgrade USB method as described in your owners manual.

==Flashing your modified firmware==
#Make sure your firmware is copied to the root of your FAT32 formatted USB drive.
#You can reach the software upgrade menu from your remote control: Menu->Help->Software Upgrade->USB
#You get a pause for 30 secs while your TV searches for a valid firmware.
#Install your modified firmware.
#Remember altering your firmware and trying to install it carried risk of permanent damage. Please read the wiki and become acquainted with what you are trying to do.

If you are more adventurous and feel confident enough you can also update the firmware by direct access by using the exlink cable.

==Using Content Library applications ==

If you have flashed the modified firmware or if you have an unrestricted firmware you can start playing and enjoying the [[Content_Library_applications_list|SamyGO applications]].

===What are SamyGO applications?===

They are applications written by developers that enhance the functionality of your Samsung TV. These are not so different from the apps that Samsung includes in their television e.g. twitter, display weather, news etc.
The major difference is that SamyGO apps provide advanced functionality but because they are not formally supported by Samsung, they require a different process to be launched.

===Where can I find a content Library application?===
There is a [[Content_Library_applications_list|wiki page]] where a list of apps can be found. This page typically has a brief description of the app functionality, a link to download the file as well as a link to the forum where the develop seeks, feedback, can help with troubleshooting etc.

===How do I install a SamyGO app?===
After you download the app, you should extract it directly to the root of your FAT32 formatted flash drive. Common extraction programs are winzip or winrar. You plug your Flash drive in a TV USB port.
If your TV is turned on a popup will appear that will prompt you to select:
Media play, content libary or software upgrade. Select Content Library.
In the content library menu select USB (left hand side) and move your highlighter to the games and/or children. You should see a list of the apps on your flash drive.

You have two options here. You can run the app from the flash drive or you can copy the app to the television internal memory.
To run an app highlight it, hit enter on your remote and then play.
If you don't get an error message then your app should be running.

===How many apps can I install on the internal memory of your TV? Do I still need the flash drive?===
You have a limited amount of memory in your television. This determines how many apps "fit on your TV". Regardless, you should always keep the flash drive plugged into the TV while your app is running, even if you copy it to your internal memory.

===Why should I install the app on my TV memory?===
Some apps run into problmes if your USB flash drive is not fast enough to convey data. Preferably these are the apps you want to install on your TV internal memory.

===I'm lost. There are so many apps on the list. Which one should I try first?===
This is a personal preference. If you are currently using DLNA to stream digital media to your TV then SamyGO Extensions is the app for you.

Extract the Extension pack which is appropriate for your Television model. This can be a bit tricky. If your television is listed as supported for SamyGO then one of the listed extensions is appropriate for your television. You must select the appropriate precompiled package for your television. If you want to compile your own, this wiki is probably too basic for you, [[SamyGO_Extensions_Pack|see this instead]].
If you select the wrong one, don't worry. The app simply won't do anything. To aid you in your selection refer [[SamyGO_Extensions_Pack#Is_this_stuff_compatible_with_your_tv|to this]] or ask for help in the appropriate [http://forum.samygo.tv/viewtopic.php?f=5&t=96|support forum].

From the content library you will see SamyGO extensions. Select, press enter and play.
Your screen will flash once for 1-2 seconds and revert back. Within a few seconds you should see a virtual USB connecting to your list of TV sources. This is great news. This is where you can access NFS(OSX,Linux,NAS) and CIFS/SAMBA (windows) shares from. This is also where you can access any standard UPNP DLNA server. The UPNP just works here unlike the buggy Samsung implementation.

===What the heck are you talking about? I can't access any NFS or SAMBA shares. What's wrong?===

For NFS: you should probably add the IP address of your NFS share IP address into the nfs mounting configuration file (03_03_nfsmount.init) . Use notepad++ or another text editor that is linux friendly. The default windows txt editor notepad will give you grief.

You can find this file in the following directory of your flash drive if you have extracted the SamyGO extensions as instructed above:
(USB flash drive Letter):\SamyGO\etc\init.d\03_03_nfsmount.init

Open this file with notepad++ and find the line the reads as follows:
##### YOU CAN CHANGE ME HERE ######
SERVER="'''Add your nfs share IP address here'''"
# SERVER="10.0.0.1" # if you want a fixed server (this is a sample what the above line should look like

If you are trying to mount a Samba (windows share) then you need to add your username and password to access that share to file names 04_04_samba.init.dis located here:
(USB flash drive Letter):\SamyGO\etc\init.d\04_04_samba.init.dis

it's pretty obvious where you need to add the required information:

##### CHANGE MEEEEE !!!!! ######
USER="'''ADD WINDOWS USERNAME HERE'''"
PASSWD="'''ADD PASSWORD HERE'''"
PERM="rw" # can be ro or rw
##### CHANGE MEEEEE END ######

Try activating SamyGO extensions again. You should be able to browse your networked file share as if all the files were on a USB drive attached to your TV. In fact, that's what the TV thinks it is doing, browsing a USB device. In fact its connecting to a virtual USB drive which allows you to use NFS, SAMBA or UPNP protocols to browse media files.

no more restarting your movie from the beginning if you lose your DLNA connection. You can resume your media playback right where you left off without having to copy files to a drive and attach them to your TV. To resume playing a media file you were previously playing, press the blue button on remote control at beginning of media playback (you should receive a media pIsn't it awesome.

===My media playback is not good. It keeps pausing?===
As much as we might enjoy pinning this on Samsung given the grief they have caused use with firmware encryption and restriction, this probably has to do with your network performance. If you are trying to stream a 1080p media file over a 802.11g wireless network you're going to run into such playback problems. If you use an ethernet cable or a wireless N connection you should be fine.

===I still don't get it. Can you walk me through this?===
If your TV is listed as supported, do not despair. You can get it to work.
One of our members maintains a page that has pictures and a step by step proces to launch a content libary app. [http://translate.google.com/translate?hl=us&sl=pl&tl=en&u=http%3A%2F%2Fmoras86.ugu.pl%2Fsamsung%2Ffaq%2F%23Internet_widgets Check it out here.] If all else fails, that's what the community support forum is there for.

==Using Internet@TV ==

===What is Internet@TV?===

Internet@TV is the name Samsung has given to their latest television appliances which converge the internet and televisions in once device. They are a collection of Samsung apps which due to their graphical user interface are called widgets. Samsung, in its short-sightedness decided that some of the newer widgets would not be made available to older television model owners. However these older televisions (B-series) can actually run the new widgets included in the C-series. Examples of these new widgets include: Google Maps, Facebook, USA today News etc.

===I can hack those widgets too?===

Well not exactly. But you can install widgets by setting up a webserver on your home computer that Samsung has not released for your television (B-series).

===How can install the widgets that I really want?===

1. First download the application [https://sourceforge.net/projects/xampp/files/ XAMPP]. This is an opensource apache distribution which includes a webserver. You install the application and launch the application xampp-control.exe from the main installation folder. If you are installing this for the first time you can start the application by accepting a prompt to start XAMPP control panel. Next press start Apache. You should get a confirmation that it is running.

2. Next you need to create an account on your television to setup widgets. After you turn on your TV pres the Internet@TV button. Wait a few seconds till it finishes loading. Create a new account and enter any PIN. Accept the changes

3. You need to add and update the list of widgets you want. First you need to select the widget series that you want for your TV. Examples can be found here.

'''Work in Progress'''

===I still don't get it. Can you help me?===
Well do not despair. The support forum is always available to assist you. You may want to try out one of member's website who has pics and [http://translate.google.com/translate?hl=us&sl=pl&tl=en&u=http://moras86.ugu.pl/samsung/faq/%23Internet_widgets step by step instructions].

'''TODO'''


=Compatibility table (just for evaluation purposes)=
Below is a first draft of a new version of a comprehensive compatibility table for SamyGO. It is here for evaluation purposes, please feel free to comment on it in the forum. Since this is a still a draft, not all links are there yet, or working. Also probably not all models have been put in yet, and the ones that are there have not yet been completed, I'm still working on it (especially finding the links into the forum pages is a tough job).

The main changes are:

removal of the display type (I think you know what you bought)

Indication of access routes with letters.

combination of a whole bunch of options into a few columns

Oh, and never mind the thin blank lines in the table, they're just empty table entries.

Note: The SamyGO project is compatible with most of the other LN, LA, UN, or UA model TV's. We just haven't tested them yet. No need to get worried about that.

SamyGO for DUMMIES

2011-01-27T23:57:05Z

Rhesus98: /* What is my firmware model and version ? */

I think we have a problem here in SamyGO. Older members tend to know a lot about embedded systems and their operating systems, but some newbies don't seem to know how to execute basic programs...
We thought that every one would know that, because of its relative simplicity. But we are wrong there. Also the Wiki pages are too overwhelming for some newbies.

I think we needed to create a wiki page `SamyGO for DUMMIES" and divert all newbies to that article before starting.
The article might mention about how you could execute programs on a TV or copy them to internal TV memory etc. Easy things, which we don't feel the need to talk a lot about.

So I created this page. Me and others will fill this area later on to show simple processes. Also put pictures about running steps of external applications from TV etc...

=Admin's Message for members to edit this page=
This is page for "dummies".

Please keep this page '''"simple as possible" and "modularized"''', means, do not put information if it's not really required and do not try to explain other article pages, just give a link to that article ( like Samba Mounting, firmware patcher etc...) Here needed to be just elementary information.

Thanks

=What is SamyGO?=
SamyGO started in the summer of 2009 as a thread at avsforum, under the title "Samsung LNXXA650 InfoLink hacking". This thread drew a lot of attention and slowly strayed away from its original topic towards rooting TV's and firmware hacking. It also got quite long, so Erdem U. Altinyurt and a few others decided to start a sourceforge project, specific for enhancement of the firmware of Samsung TV-sets, specifically aimed at models issued from 2008 onwards. Many people stayed on and came along from avsforum to sourceforge.

So that is what SamyGO is: A sourceforge project, aimed at enhancing firmware and functionality, specifically for Samsung TV models from 2008 onwards.

The activities of the SamyGO project comprise, but are not limited to:

#Gaining access to all available Samsung TV models from 2008 onwards (rooting).
#Active development of software extensions to enhance Samsung TV accessibility.
#Active development of applications to run on Samsung TV hardware.
#Giving support to project members who want to enhance their TV's functionality.

SamyGO is not a program that you can "just run" on your TV. Enhancing your hardware is not THAT simple. It requires some beginner and intermediate computer skills. The community will support you and is committed to helping you make this work for you. Remember however, that you need to do your part too. Read and try to understand. If you don't understand, ask in the appropriate forum. Proceed only once you understand what it is you are trying to achieve.

=I want more functionality from my TV. What do I need to do?=

# Find out whether your TV model is supported by SamyGO. See the supported models list at our homepage for that.
# Find out which firmware version your TV is equipped with. Newer firmwares are not (yet) supported by SamyGO. See also the supported models list.
# Checkout the access route for your TV, again, this is in the supported models list.
# Get access! Follow the tutorials in the Wiki pages for that.
# Install the software you like/need.
# Enjoy your improved equipment.

Each of these steps will be explained briefly.

=What is my TV model code and number ?=
[[File:Ue40b7020_model.png|right]]Model code and number are almost the same thing. The model number is a short form of the model code. This is a sample model code with the model number written bold.
'''UE40B7020'''WWXXC
You can read your model code from the sticker at the side or rear of your TV. Once you found the model, you can check whether it is supported by SamyGO [[Compatibility|here for A- and B-series]] and [[Compatibility_Table_for_C_series_TVs| here for C-series models.]]

=What is my firmware model and version ?=
You can learn your firmware number by entering the [[Service Menu]]. Read the detailed wiki page before proceeding with '''GREAT''' caution.

Do not change anything in the service menu until you understand what each setting does. The service menu is like entering the BIOS in a computer. It's where changes can be made to the "brain" that controls television functions. Making the wrong choice in a setting can result in a completely unexpected result and brick your television. To navigate the Service menu ''ONLY'' use the up and down button. Use enter to select and the previous button to return to the previous screen. '''DO NOT USE the RIGHT and LEFT''' buttons of your remote while navigating the service menu unless you know what you are trying to do. Using the left and right navigation butttons may change some variables that may easily brick your TV. If you do make a change to a menu, do not panic. Simply navigate in the opposite direction until the original variable is visible. This is by default the selected option.

To identify your firmware version you only need to enter the main screen of the service menu. You do not need to navigate to other Service menu pages. Identification of your firmware version is important to determine whether your television firmware is supported by SamyGO [[Compatibility|here for A- and B-series]] and here for[[Compatibility_Table_for_C_series_TVs| C-series models.]] You exit the Service menu by turning off the television.

=Is my TV a CI or a CI+ device?=
Samsung has implemented increasing encryption with each series of televsions it releases. Earlier models had no firmware encryption, subsequent firmware releases have [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/XOR_cipher XOR]cipher encryption and the latest firmware releases utilize both AES and XOR encryption. This encryption limits how much editing of a firmware can be done despite the fact that the software Samsung uses is opensource and publicly available from [http://opensource.samsung.com/ Samsung] per GNU and GPL licensing terms. Knowing the type of firmware utilized is important because it determines what kind of access you can obtain in your television's operating system. There are two types of firmwares based on access, CI and CI+ devices.

A television from the C series is always a CI+ device. B series models have two possibilities: If there is a P in the last part of the model code, it is most likely a CI+ device. The firmware version installed on these TV's has the letters CIP in the firmware version code. Otherwise it is probably a CI device. A series devices do not have encryption.

Some examples:
LE40B652T4'''W'''XXU device uses T-CHL7DEUC firmware, which indicates it is a CI device.
LE40B652T2'''P'''XXU device uses T-CHLCIPDEUC firmware, which indicates it is a CI+ device.
UE40B7020W'''W'''XXC device uses T-CHU7DEUC firmware, which indicates it is a CI device.
'''TODO: Add some UN,UE and PS model "codes" here.'''

You can also find your firmware name and version number in the [[Service Menu]].
This is important to know because there are different software solutions depending on whether your TV is a CI or a CI+ device. Software developers frequently develop two versions of software to support these two types of firmwares. It's up to you to select the right one for your Television.

=What are Restricted Firmwares?=
Restricted Firmwares are original Samsung firmwares which have been released after 01 February 2010. These firmwares have been restricted in many ways by Samsung and have limited how much access one can gain inside their television's operating system. Here in the SamyGO community, we believe this is a deliberate effort to hinder and disable our software development efforts. It is probably also required by the copyright holders of certain parts of the encryption/decryption software for CI+.

Functions that have been removed by the release of these Restricted Firmwares are:
*ExLink Access , that allows us Serial connection to TV's bash line.
*Removal of Top Debug Menu that let us allow to configure every property of TV.
*Removal of u-boot code for that we use to run External firmwares and un-bricking TV.
*Removal of program copy and execution ability from USB disks.
*Removal of Alternative firmware firmware section to avoid reverting older firmwares.
*Additional security enhancements to avoid to flash hacked firmwares.

(*'''TODO: Anything that I forgot?")

If you are interested in applying any of the SamyGO software enhancements to your television's firmware, it's better not to have received any of these firmwares. However, do not despair if you have had your television crippled by these "updates". The ingenuity and hard work of the developers of the SamyGO community have found several work-arounds that will allow you to restore your television to an older firmware that allows SamyGO applications to run. They have also simplified and automated part of this process as much as it is legally possible.

Unfortunately, if you have a restricted firmware, you can't just plug and play. There are several steps that you need to take to gain back "ownership" of your television. Several steps are involved including, copying programs to your TV memory by using an open vulnerabilities such as the "Children Menu" hack or the Nurisam Trojan. This will allow you to move applications to TV and enjoy additional features currently no possible...

=How can I get access to my TV?=
Samsung televisions have an embedded operating system based on linux. When you turn your television on you are essentially operating a computer as a user. You are given limited access to core parts of the operating system by design. If you want more control of what your television you must give it commands to run additional pieces of software with the functionality you desire. To do this you need to obtain access to the television's operating system as a [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Superuser superuser or with root access].
To control any Linux-based system, you need root access to it (Administrator privileges in Windows). Depending on the type of TV and version of the firmware, this can be achieved in a number of ways. In the compatibility tables you can find the methods that have been used successfully for each type (The list is not complete yet, work in progress).
Depending on the firmware and television model you may be able to do this with a simple software installation from a USB drive or you may need to install modified firmware or may need to revert to an older version of firmware that has not been restricted by Samsung.
You can gain access to your televisions operating in several ways.Consult the compatibility table at the bottom of this page to determine which method you can use:

#'''USB''': Loading software from the USB port by flash drive. Restricted firmware has disallowed access to the built in functionality. This is also how modified firmware is flashed.
#'''Telnet''': For models with ethernet connectivity it is possible to gain telnet access via your computer network. Non ethernet models may also become network accessible by using a usb wi-fi dongle. This required that you have already obtained root acess and your your television has been modified to allow network access (less common way).
#'''Ex-link Port''' An Ex-link port or service port which allows direct connection from your computer to the television.

== The Ex-Link port ==
Many TV models are accessible through a serial port, called Ex-link. This port is addressed in the manuals as "connector for service only". It is a serial port, with a 3.5mm stereo jack as connector. To use it, you will need a serial cable with the right layout, which is given [[Enable_Serial_Console_on_non_CI%2B_Devices|'''here'''.]] On the same page you will find how to enter the service menu of your TV, at least for a number of older types. It would be wise to make or buy such a cable prior to changing your firmware in the event of a catastrophic event that requires this connection to recover your television functionality(unbrick your TV).

==SamyGO System Requirements==
#A television that is supported by SamyGo Software. See the [[Compatibility| compatibility list]] (Absence of your model '''does not mean''' that your model is absolutely not supported.)
#Your television must have a firmware software that is [[Is_my_TV_supported%3F|unrestricted]]. (Even if it's restricted, you have things that can help you regain access.)
#A computer with internet connection to download the required files.
#A little bit of courage and nerve to follow through the entire process.
#A USB drive formatted with FAT32. NOTE for windows users: DO NOT extract the files contained in the zip and rar files you download to an NTFS partition and then to your flash drive. Certain file attributes that are necessary for linux executable files and scripts are lost. A rule of thumb is ALWAYS extract the files you are going to use directly to the USB drive.
#If you're smart you'll also get a ex-link cable and take the previously stated necessary precautions (active debug and turn off watchdog in the service menu) to be ready in case the television gets bricked.

==Reverting back to unrestricted firmware==
Loading third party software has been limited with the latest versions of restricted firmware. If you are in the lucky group of television owners with unrestricted firmware then you can skip this section, you are in luck! If your are in the unlucky group of restricted firmware (usually any firmware after dated updated in 2010) then you must revert back to an unrestricted firmware first prior running any SamyGO applications on your TV. Developers at SamyGO have made this a fairly simple process by using a script that automates this process. A list of supported television models and detailed instructions can be [[Forced_revert_back_to_older_firmware| found here]]. Please review all this in detail prior to proceeding with any modifications or running any scripts. The summary below only emphasizes certain key points:

#Use the script FFB only if your television is supported. Only certain CI models are supported at this time. If your model is not listed and it's a CI television then consider asking for support in the appropriate section of the SamyGO forum.
#Prior to running the script, you '''MUST''' have your full firmware downloaded and extracted on the root of your USB drive. You can download your firmware from [http://www.samsung.com/us/support/downloads/ Samsung download center]. That link is just an example for US TV models. Similar Samsung websites are available for every market where Samsung products are sold.
#Prior to running this script you must also add some missing files to the firmware directory. These vary by television model but are necessary to restore the u-boot function, the kernel and other files that the restricted firmware has removed to limit access to your television . These files (u-boot.bin, Image and fnw.bin) are '''SPECIFIC''' to your television model. They are typically added in the image subdirectory of your firmware on the USB flash drive. If you can't find the specific files for your television model posted on the forums, then ask in the support forum for help. '''DO NOT attempt''' to run this script without having all the required files.
#You may used either original firmware or patched firmware with the FFB script. If you want to use the patched firmware.
#Remember, the SamyGO community is not liable for any damages that are caused to you or your property in the event of a catastrophic event (brick your TV) related to things you do to your television. The community does this for recreational purposes and has had great success. In the event that your television is damaged we can not be held liable but we will do our best to help you recover your bricked TV.

==Patching Firmware with the SamyGO Firmware Patcher==
B-series models (Non CI+) with older firmwares (pre february 2010) have firmware update files which are only trivially encrypted by Samsung and can be modified to allow additional functionality.The [[SamyGO_Firmware_Patcher| SamyGO firmware patch script]] is based on python a computer programming language and changes some of the startup scripts inside of the firmware. This allows additional functionality in the firmware.
Such functionality includes
# Applies the [[Video_AR_Fix|AR v1 Fix]]. This properly resizes the picture proportions n Samsung B series TVs
# Allows you to increase the size of srt subtitles shown in movie playback and
# Subtitle color can change as well. SamyGO favorite is yellow, (ARGB code for yellow is: 0xFFFFFF00, for original color: 0xFFF0F0F0)
# Telnet, advanced or patch.

Once the script completes you will have a new modified firmware with the aforementioned modifications. Once you flash this modified software to your television, you will enjoy the above enhancements but will also be able to run additional software which will enhance your television's functionality even further. This modified firmware makes it much easier to gain root access through [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Telnet telnet]. Telnet is a small program that enables remote access to another computer. For windows, you can use PuTTY. This remote access is required, since (at least at this stage) there is no mouse or keyboard attached to your TV. The full use of the SamyGO firmware patcher is explained [[SamyGO_Firmware_Patcher|'''here'''.]] Do '''NOT''' proceed until you review and understand the posted instructions. New users will likely not use the advanced option yet because it does requires advanced modifications that if done incorrectly can brick your tv. You are advised to make or buy an ex-link cable for recovery, especially true if you decide to use the advanced option.
The following points do not substitute the wiki for the patch scripter but simply highlight some key points:
#You must download and install python version 2.6. Do not install a different version, you may encounter script errors.
#For windows users, it may be easiest to place the directory with the extracted original firmware inside the python26 directory. By default, the windows installer places the python executable files at the root of your hard drive, usually inside C:\\python26. If you own a
#Open a command prompt window in windows (Start menu->All Programs->Accessories->Command prompt) or just (Windows Key+R) and type Code
cmd
#Change the active directory to C:\python26. You can use this with the cd command
cd c:\\python26
#When you download the script you may have to rename it to SamyGO.py to keep things simple. It will also be easiest if you extract the original firmware inside the python26 directory. Your firmware then should be located in C:\\python26\T-CHEAUSC\
#In order for the script to run successfully, you must give the entire proper command line to run it. Double clicking the script, dragging and dropping the file icon will not work. The command structure is: "python SamyGO.py <your extracted firmware directory>"
A sample command for a television owner who has T-CHEAUSC firmware would be :
python SamyGO.py ./T-CHEAUSC
If this is working correctly you should see a the script running in the command prompt window. Decrypting key with XOR key: T-CHEAUSC etc....
#Answer the prompts to the questions. Your answer will determine how the firmware will be patched.
#Once the script finishes you should get confirmation that it completed successfully.
#Copy the directory with your firmware to your FAT32 USB drive root, in this case the folder is T-CHEAUSC located inside the c:\\python26 directory and should be copied to (USB Drive letter):\T-CHEAUSC
#Once you are ready can update to this firmware using the software upgrade USB method as described in your owners manual.

==Flashing your modified firmware==
#Make sure your firmware is copied to the root of your FAT32 formatted USB drive.
#You can reach the software upgrade menu from your remote control: Menu->Help->Software Upgrade->USB
#You get a pause for 30 secs while your TV searches for a valid firmware.
#Install your modified firmware.
#Remember altering your firmware and trying to install it carried risk of permanent damage. Please read the wiki and become acquainted with what you are trying to do.

If you are more adventurous and feel confident enough you can also update the firmware by direct access by using the exlink cable.

==Using Content Library applications ==

If you have flashed the modified firmware or if you have an unrestricted firmware you can start playing and enjoying the [[Content_Library_applications_list|SamyGO applications]].

===What are SamyGO applications?===

They are applications written by developers that enhance the functionality of your Samsung TV. These are not so different from the apps that Samsung includes in their television e.g. twitter, display weather, news etc.
The major difference is that SamyGO apps provide advanced functionality but because they are not formally supported by Samsung, they require a different process to be launched.

===Where can I find a content Library application?===
There is a [[Content_Library_applications_list|wiki page]] where a list of apps can be found. This page typically has a brief description of the app functionality, a link to download the file as well as a link to the forum where the develop seeks, feedback, can help with troubleshooting etc.

===How do I install a SamyGO app?===
After you download the app, you should extract it directly to the root of your FAT32 formatted flash drive. Common extraction programs are winzip or winrar. You plug your Flash drive in a TV USB port.
If your TV is turned on a popup will appear that will prompt you to select:
Media play, content libary or software upgrade. Select Content Library.
In the content library menu select USB (left hand side) and move your highlighter to the games and/or children. You should see a list of the apps on your flash drive.

You have two options here. You can run the app from the flash drive or you can copy the app to the television internal memory.
To run an app highlight it, hit enter on your remote and then play.
If you don't get an error message then your app should be running.

===How many apps can I install on the internal memory of your TV? Do I still need the flash drive?===
You have a limited amount of memory in your television. This determines how many apps "fit on your TV". Regardless, you should always keep the flash drive plugged into the TV while your app is running, even if you copy it to your internal memory.

===Why should I install the app on my TV memory?===
Some apps run into problmes if your USB flash drive is not fast enough to convey data. Preferably these are the apps you want to install on your TV internal memory.

===I'm lost. There are so many apps on the list. Which one should I try first?===
This is a personal preference. If you are currently using DLNA to stream digital media to your TV then SamyGO Extensions is the app for you.

Extract the Extension pack which is appropriate for your Television model. This can be a bit tricky. If your television is listed as supported for SamyGO then one of the listed extensions is appropriate for your television. You must select the appropriate precompiled package for your television. If you want to compile your own, this wiki is probably too basic for you, [[SamyGO_Extensions_Pack|see this instead]].
If you select the wrong one, don't worry. The app simply won't do anything. To aid you in your selection refer [[SamyGO_Extensions_Pack#Is_this_stuff_compatible_with_your_tv|to this]] or ask for help in the appropriate [http://forum.samygo.tv/viewtopic.php?f=5&t=96|support forum].

From the content library you will see SamyGO extensions. Select, press enter and play.
Your screen will flash once for 1-2 seconds and revert back. Within a few seconds you should see a virtual USB connecting to your list of TV sources. This is great news. This is where you can access NFS(OSX,Linux,NAS) and CIFS/SAMBA (windows) shares from. This is also where you can access any standard UPNP DLNA server. The UPNP just works here unlike the buggy Samsung implementation.

===What the heck are you talking about? I can't access any NFS or SAMBA shares. What's wrong?===

For NFS: you should probably add the IP address of your NFS share IP address into the nfs mounting configuration file (03_03_nfsmount.init) . Use notepad++ or another text editor that is linux friendly. The default windows txt editor notepad will give you grief.

You can find this file in the following directory of your flash drive if you have extracted the SamyGO extensions as instructed above:
(USB flash drive Letter):\SamyGO\etc\init.d\03_03_nfsmount.init

Open this file with notepad++ and find the line the reads as follows:
##### YOU CAN CHANGE ME HERE ######
SERVER="'''Add your nfs share IP address here'''"
# SERVER="10.0.0.1" # if you want a fixed server (this is a sample what the above line should look like

If you are trying to mount a Samba (windows share) then you need to add your username and password to access that share to file names 04_04_samba.init.dis located here:
(USB flash drive Letter):\SamyGO\etc\init.d\04_04_samba.init.dis

it's pretty obvious where you need to add the required information:

##### CHANGE MEEEEE !!!!! ######
USER="'''ADD WINDOWS USERNAME HERE'''"
PASSWD="'''ADD PASSWORD HERE'''"
PERM="rw" # can be ro or rw
##### CHANGE MEEEEE END ######

Try activating SamyGO extensions again. You should be able to browse your networked file share as if all the files were on a USB drive attached to your TV. In fact, that's what the TV thinks it is doing, browsing a USB device. In fact its connecting to a virtual USB drive which allows you to use NFS, SAMBA or UPNP protocols to browse media files.

no more restarting your movie from the beginning if you lose your DLNA connection. You can resume your media playback right where you left off without having to copy files to a drive and attach them to your TV. To resume playing a media file you were previously playing, press the blue button on remote control at beginning of media playback (you should receive a media pIsn't it awesome.

===My media playback is not good. It keeps pausing?===
As much as we might enjoy pinning this on Samsung given the grief they have caused use with firmware encryption and restriction, this probably has to do with your network performance. If you are trying to stream a 1080p media file over a 802.11g wireless network you're going to run into such playback problems. If you use an ethernet cable or a wireless N connection you should be fine.

===I still don't get it. Can you walk me through this?===
If your TV is listed as supported, do not despair. You can get it to work.
One of our members maintains a page that has pictures and a step by step proces to launch a content libary app. [http://translate.google.com/translate?hl=us&sl=pl&tl=en&u=http%3A%2F%2Fmoras86.ugu.pl%2Fsamsung%2Ffaq%2F%23Internet_widgets Check it out here.] If all else fails, that's what the community support forum is there for.

==Using Internet@TV ==

===What is Internet@TV?===

Internet@TV is the name Samsung has given to their latest television appliances which converge the internet and televisions in once device. They are a collection of Samsung apps which due to their graphical user interface are called widgets. Samsung, in its short-sightedness decided that some of the newer widgets would not be made available to older television model owners. However these older televisions (B-series) can actually run the new widgets included in the C-series. Examples of these new widgets include: Google Maps, Facebook, USA today News etc.

===I can hack those widgets too?===

Well not exactly. But you can install widgets by setting up a webserver on your home computer that Samsung has not released for your television (B-series).

===How can install the widgets that I really want?===

1. First download the application [https://sourceforge.net/projects/xampp/files/ XAMPP]. This is an opensource apache distribution which includes a webserver. You install the application and launch the application xampp-control.exe from the main installation folder. If you are installing this for the first time you can start the application by accepting a prompt to start XAMPP control panel. Next press start Apache. You should get a confirmation that it is running.

2. Next you need to create an account on your television to setup widgets. After you turn on your TV pres the Internet@TV button. Wait a few seconds till it finishes loading. Create a new account and enter any PIN. Accept the changes

3. You need to add and update the list of widgets you want. First you need to select the widget series that you want for your TV. Examples can be found here.

'''Work in Progress'''

===I still don't get it. Can you help me?===
Well do not despair. The support forum is always available to assist you. You may want to try out one of member's website who has pics and [http://translate.google.com/translate?hl=us&sl=pl&tl=en&u=http://moras86.ugu.pl/samsung/faq/%23Internet_widgets step by step instructions].

==Using Hotel@USB ==
'''TODO'''


=Compatibility table (just for evaluation purposes)=
Below is a first draft of a new version of a comprehensive compatibility table for SamyGO. It is here for evaluation purposes, please feel free to comment on it in the forum. Since this is a still a draft, not all links are there yet, or working. Also probably not all models have been put in yet, and the ones that are there have not yet been completed, I'm still working on it (especially finding the links into the forum pages is a tough job).

The main changes are:

removal of the display type (I think you know what you bought)

Indication of access routes with letters.

combination of a whole bunch of options into a few columns

Oh, and never mind the thin blank lines in the table, they're just empty table entries.

Note: The SamyGO project is compatible with most of the other LN, LA, UN, or UA model TV's. We just haven't tested them yet. No need to get worried about that.

SamyGO for DUMMIES

2011-01-27T23:23:32Z

Rhesus98: /* I still don't get it? */

I think we have a problem here in SamyGO. Older members tend to know a lot about embedded systems and their operating systems, but some newbies don't seem to know how to execute basic programs...
We thought that every one would know that, because of its relative simplicity. But we are wrong there. Also the Wiki pages are too overwhelming for some newbies.

I think we needed to create a wiki page `SamyGO for DUMMIES" and divert all newbies to that article before starting.
The article might mention about how you could execute programs on a TV or copy them to internal TV memory etc. Easy things, which we don't feel the need to talk a lot about.

So I created this page. Me and others will fill this area later on to show simple processes. Also put pictures about running steps of external applications from TV etc...

=Admin's Message for members to edit this page=
This is page for "dummies".

Please keep this page '''"simple as possible" and "modularized"''', means, do not put information if it's not really required and do not try to explain other article pages, just give a link to that article ( like Samba Mounting, firmware patcher etc...) Here needed to be just elementary information.

Thanks

=What is SamyGO?=
SamyGO started in the summer of 2009 as a thread at avsforum, under the title "Samsung LNXXA650 InfoLink hacking". This thread drew a lot of attention and slowly strayed away from its original topic towards rooting TV's and firmware hacking. It also got quite long, so Erdem U. Altinyurt and a few others decided to start a sourceforge project, specific for enhancement of the firmware of Samsung TV-sets, specifically aimed at models issued from 2008 onwards. Many people stayed on and came along from avsforum to sourceforge.

So that is what SamyGO is: A sourceforge project, aimed at enhancing firmware and functionality, specifically for Samsung TV models from 2008 onwards.

The activities of the SamyGO project comprise, but are not limited to:

#Gaining access to all available Samsung TV models from 2008 onwards (rooting).
#Active development of software extensions to enhance Samsung TV accessibility.
#Active development of applications to run on Samsung TV hardware.
#Giving support to project members who want to enhance their TV's functionality.

SamyGO is not a program that you can "just run" on your TV. Enhancing your hardware is not THAT simple. It requires some beginner and intermediate computer skills. The community will support you and is committed to helping you make this work for you. Remember however, that you need to do your part too. Read and try to understand. If you don't understand, ask in the appropriate forum. Proceed only once you understand what it is you are trying to achieve.

=I want more functionality from my TV. What do I need to do?=

# Find out whether your TV model is supported by SamyGO. See the supported models list at our homepage for that.
# Find out which firmware version your TV is equipped with. Newer firmwares are not (yet) supported by SamyGO. See also the supported models list.
# Checkout the access route for your TV, again, this is in the supported models list.
# Get access! Follow the tutorials in the Wiki pages for that.
# Install the software you like/need.
# Enjoy your improved equipment.

Each of these steps will be explained briefly.

=What is my TV model code and number ?=
[[File:Ue40b7020_model.png|right]]Model code and number are almost the same thing. The model number is a short form of the model code. This is a sample model code with the model number written bold.
'''UE40B7020'''WWXXC
You can read your model code from the sticker at the side or rear of your TV. Once you found the model, you can check whether it is supported by SamyGO [[Compatibility|here for A- and B-series]] and [[Compatibility_Table_for_C_series_TVs| here for C-series models.]]

=What is my firmware model and version ?=
You can learn your firmware number by entering the [[Service Menu]].
PROCEED WITH GREAT CAUTION.

Do not change anything in the service menu until you understand what each setting does. The service menu is like entering the BIOS in a computer. It's where changes can be made to the "brain" that controls television functions. Making the wrong choice in a setting can result in a completely unexpected result and brick your television. To navigate the Service menu ''ONLY'' use the up and down button. Use enter to select and the previous button to return to the previous screen. '''DO NOT USE the RIGHT and LEFT''' buttons of your remote while navigating the service menu unless you know what you are trying to do. Using the left and right navigation butttons may change some variables that may easily brick your TV. If you do make a change to a menu, do not panic. Simply navigate in the opposite direction until the original variable is visible. This is by default the selected option.

To identify your firmware version you only need to enter the main screen of the service menu. You do not need to navigate to other Service menu pages. Identification of your firmware version is important to determine whether your television firmware is supported by SamyGO [[Compatibility|here for A- and B-series]] and here for[[Compatibility_Table_for_C_series_TVs| C-series models.]] You exit the Service menu by turning off the television.

=Is my TV a CI or a CI+ device?=
Samsung has implemented increasing encryption with each series of televsions it releases. Earlier models had no firmware encryption, subsequent firmware releases have [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/XOR_cipher XOR]cipher encryption and the latest firmware releases utilize both AES and XOR encryption. This encryption limits how much editing of a firmware can be done despite the fact that the software Samsung uses is opensource and publicly available from [http://opensource.samsung.com/ Samsung] per GNU and GPL licensing terms. Knowing the type of firmware utilized is important because it determines what kind of access you can obtain in your television's operating system. There are two types of firmwares based on access, CI and CI+ devices.

A television from the C series is always a CI+ device. B series models have two possibilities: If there is a P in the last part of the model code, it is most likely a CI+ device. The firmware version installed on these TV's has the letters CIP in the firmware version code. Otherwise it is probably a CI device. A series devices do not have encryption.

Some examples:
LE40B652T4'''W'''XXU device uses T-CHL7DEUC firmware, which indicates it is a CI device.
LE40B652T2'''P'''XXU device uses T-CHLCIPDEUC firmware, which indicates it is a CI+ device.
UE40B7020W'''W'''XXC device uses T-CHU7DEUC firmware, which indicates it is a CI device.
'''TODO: Add some UN,UE and PS model "codes" here.'''

You can also find your firmware name and version number in the [[Service Menu]].
This is important to know because there are different software solutions depending on whether your TV is a CI or a CI+ device. Software developers frequently develop two versions of software to support these two types of firmwares. It's up to you to select the right one for your Television.

=What are Restricted Firmwares?=
Restricted Firmwares are original Samsung firmwares which have been released after 01 February 2010. These firmwares have been restricted in many ways by Samsung and have limited how much access one can gain inside their television's operating system. Here in the SamyGO community, we believe this is a deliberate effort to hinder and disable our software development efforts. It is probably also required by the copyright holders of certain parts of the encryption/decryption software for CI+.

Functions that have been removed by the release of these Restricted Firmwares are:
*ExLink Access , that allows us Serial connection to TV's bash line.
*Removal of Top Debug Menu that let us allow to configure every property of TV.
*Removal of u-boot code for that we use to run External firmwares and un-bricking TV.
*Removal of program copy and execution ability from USB disks.
*Removal of Alternative firmware firmware section to avoid reverting older firmwares.
*Additional security enhancements to avoid to flash hacked firmwares.

(*'''TODO: Anything that I forgot?")

If you are interested in applying any of the SamyGO software enhancements to your television's firmware, it's better not to have received any of these firmwares. However, do not despair if you have had your television crippled by these "updates". The ingenuity and hard work of the developers of the SamyGO community have found several work-arounds that will allow you to restore your television to an older firmware that allows SamyGO applications to run. They have also simplified and automated part of this process as much as it is legally possible.

Unfortunately, if you have a restricted firmware, you can't just plug and play. There are several steps that you need to take to gain back "ownership" of your television. Several steps are involved including, copying programs to your TV memory by using an open vulnerabilities such as the "Children Menu" hack or the Nurisam Trojan. This will allow you to move applications to TV and enjoy additional features currently no possible...

=How can I get access to my TV?=
Samsung televisions have an embedded operating system based on linux. When you turn your television on you are essentially operating a computer as a user. You are given limited access to core parts of the operating system by design. If you want more control of what your television you must give it commands to run additional pieces of software with the functionality you desire. To do this you need to obtain access to the television's operating system as a [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Superuser superuser or with root access].
To control any Linux-based system, you need root access to it (Administrator privileges in Windows). Depending on the type of TV and version of the firmware, this can be achieved in a number of ways. In the compatibility tables you can find the methods that have been used successfully for each type (The list is not complete yet, work in progress).
Depending on the firmware and television model you may be able to do this with a simple software installation from a USB drive or you may need to install modified firmware or may need to revert to an older version of firmware that has not been restricted by Samsung.
You can gain access to your televisions operating in several ways.Consult the compatibility table at the bottom of this page to determine which method you can use:

#'''USB''': Loading software from the USB port by flash drive. Restricted firmware has disallowed access to the built in functionality. This is also how modified firmware is flashed.
#'''Telnet''': For models with ethernet connectivity it is possible to gain telnet access via your computer network. Non ethernet models may also become network accessible by using a usb wi-fi dongle. This required that you have already obtained root acess and your your television has been modified to allow network access (less common way).
#'''Ex-link Port''' An Ex-link port or service port which allows direct connection from your computer to the television.

== The Ex-Link port ==
Many TV models are accessible through a serial port, called Ex-link. This port is addressed in the manuals as "connector for service only". It is a serial port, with a 3.5mm stereo jack as connector. To use it, you will need a serial cable with the right layout, which is given [[Enable_Serial_Console_on_non_CI%2B_Devices|'''here'''.]] On the same page you will find how to enter the service menu of your TV, at least for a number of older types. It would be wise to make or buy such a cable prior to changing your firmware in the event of a catastrophic event that requires this connection to recover your television functionality(unbrick your TV).

==SamyGO System Requirements==
#A television that is supported by SamyGo Software. See the [[Compatibility| compatibility list]] (Absence of your model '''does not mean''' that your model is absolutely not supported.)
#Your television must have a firmware software that is [[Is_my_TV_supported%3F|unrestricted]]. (Even if it's restricted, you have things that can help you regain access.)
#A computer with internet connection to download the required files.
#A little bit of courage and nerve to follow through the entire process.
#A USB drive formatted with FAT32. NOTE for windows users: DO NOT extract the files contained in the zip and rar files you download to an NTFS partition and then to your flash drive. Certain file attributes that are necessary for linux executable files and scripts are lost. A rule of thumb is ALWAYS extract the files you are going to use directly to the USB drive.
#If you're smart you'll also get a ex-link cable and take the previously stated necessary precautions (active debug and turn off watchdog in the service menu) to be ready in case the television gets bricked.

==Reverting back to unrestricted firmware==
Loading third party software has been limited with the latest versions of restricted firmware. If you are in the lucky group of television owners with unrestricted firmware then you can skip this section, you are in luck! If your are in the unlucky group of restricted firmware (usually any firmware after dated updated in 2010) then you must revert back to an unrestricted firmware first prior running any SamyGO applications on your TV. Developers at SamyGO have made this a fairly simple process by using a script that automates this process. A list of supported television models and detailed instructions can be [[Forced_revert_back_to_older_firmware| found here]]. Please review all this in detail prior to proceeding with any modifications or running any scripts. The summary below only emphasizes certain key points:

#Use the script FFB only if your television is supported. Only certain CI models are supported at this time. If your model is not listed and it's a CI television then consider asking for support in the appropriate section of the SamyGO forum.
#Prior to running the script, you '''MUST''' have your full firmware downloaded and extracted on the root of your USB drive. You can download your firmware from [http://www.samsung.com/us/support/downloads/ Samsung download center]. That link is just an example for US TV models. Similar Samsung websites are available for every market where Samsung products are sold.
#Prior to running this script you must also add some missing files to the firmware directory. These vary by television model but are necessary to restore the u-boot function, the kernel and other files that the restricted firmware has removed to limit access to your television . These files (u-boot.bin, Image and fnw.bin) are '''SPECIFIC''' to your television model. They are typically added in the image subdirectory of your firmware on the USB flash drive. If you can't find the specific files for your television model posted on the forums, then ask in the support forum for help. '''DO NOT attempt''' to run this script without having all the required files.

==Patching Firmware with the SamyGO Firmware Patcher==
B-series models (Non CI+) with older firmwares (pre february 2010) have firmware update files which are only trivially encrypted by Samsung and can be modified to allow additional functionality.The [[SamyGO_Firmware_Patcher| SamyGO firmware patch script]] is based on python a computer programming language and changes some of the startup scripts inside of the firmware. This allows additional functionality in the firmware.
Such functionality includes
# Applies the [[Video_AR_Fix|AR v1 Fix]]. This properly resizes the picture proportions n Samsung B series TVs
# Allows you to increase the size of srt subtitles shown in movie playback and
# Subtitle color can change as well. SamyGO favorite is yellow, (ARGB code for yellow is: 0xFFFFFF00, for original color: 0xFFF0F0F0)
# Telnet, advanced or patch.

Once the script completes you will have a new modified firmware with the aforementioned modifications. Once you flash this modified software to your television, you will enjoy the above enhancements but will also be able to run additional software which will enhance your television's functionality even further. This modified firmware makes it much easier to gain root access through [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Telnet telnet]. Telnet is a small program that enables remote access to another computer. For windows, you can use PuTTY. This remote access is required, since (at least at this stage) there is no mouse or keyboard attached to your TV. The full use of the SamyGO firmware patcher is explained [[SamyGO_Firmware_Patcher|'''here'''.]] Do '''NOT''' proceed until you review and understand the posted instructions. New users will likely not use the advanced option yet because it does requires advanced modifications that if done incorrectly can brick your tv. You are advised to make or buy an ex-link cable for recovery, especially true if you decide to use the advanced option.
The following points do not substitute the wiki for the patch scripter but simply highlight some key points:
#You must download and install python version 2.6. Do not install a different version, you may encounter script errors.
#For windows users, it may be easiest to place the directory with the extracted original firmware inside the python26 directory. By default, the windows installer places the python executable files at the root of your hard drive, usually inside C:\\python26. If you own a
#Open a command prompt window in windows (Start menu->All Programs->Accessories->Command prompt) or just (Windows Key+R) and type Code
cmd
#Change the active directory to C:\python26. You can use this with the cd command
cd c:\\python26
#When you download the script you may have to rename it to SamyGO.py to keep things simple. It will also be easiest if you extract the original firmware inside the python26 directory. Your firmware then should be located in C:\\python26\T-CHEAUSC\
#In order for the script to run successfully, you must give the entire proper command line to run it. Double clicking the script, dragging and dropping the file icon will not work. The command structure is: "python SamyGO.py <your extracted firmware directory>"
A sample command for a television owner who has T-CHEAUSC firmware would be :
python SamyGO.py ./T-CHEAUSC
If this is working correctly you should see a the script running in the command prompt window. Decrypting key with XOR key: T-CHEAUSC etc....
#Answer the prompts to the questions. Your answer will determine how the firmware will be patched.
#Once the script finishes you should get confirmation that it completed successfully.
#Copy the directory with your firmware to your FAT32 USB drive root, in this case the folder is T-CHEAUSC located inside the c:\\python26 directory and should be copied to (USB Drive letter):\T-CHEAUSC
#Once you are ready can update to this firmware using the software upgrade USB method as described in your owners manual.

==Flashing your modified firmware==
#Make sure your firmware is copied to the root of your FAT32 formatted USB drive.
#You can reach the software upgrade menu from your remote control: Menu->Help->Software Upgrade->USB
#You get a pause for 30 secs while your TV searches for a valid firmware.
#Install your modified firmware.
#Remember altering your firmware and trying to install it carried risk of permanent damage. Please read the wiki and become acquainted with what you are trying to do.

If you are more adventurous and feel confident enough you can also update the firmware by direct access by using the exlink cable.

==Using Content Library applications ==

If you have flashed the modified firmware or if you have an unrestricted firmware you can start playing and enjoying the [[Content_Library_applications_list|SamyGO applications]].

===What are SamyGO applications?===

They are applications written by developers that enhance the functionality of your Samsung TV. These are not so different from the apps that Samsung includes in their television e.g. twitter, display weather, news etc.
The major difference is that SamyGO apps provide advanced functionality but because they are not formally supported by Samsung, they require a different process to be launched.

===Where can I find a content Library application?===
There is a [[Content_Library_applications_list|wiki page]] where a list of apps can be found. This page typically has a brief description of the app functionality, a link to download the file as well as a link to the forum where the develop seeks, feedback, can help with troubleshooting etc.

===How do I install a SamyGO app?===
After you download the app, you should extract it directly to the root of your FAT32 formatted flash drive. Common extraction programs are winzip or winrar. You plug your Flash drive in a TV USB port.
If your TV is turned on a popup will appear that will prompt you to select:
Media play, content libary or software upgrade. Select Content Library.
In the content library menu select USB (left hand side) and move your highlighter to the games and/or children. You should see a list of the apps on your flash drive.

You have two options here. You can run the app from the flash drive or you can copy the app to the television internal memory.
To run an app highlight it, hit enter on your remote and then play.
If you don't get an error message then your app should be running.

===How many apps can I install on the internal memory of your TV? Do I still need the flash drive?===
You have a limited amount of memory in your television. This determines how many apps "fit on your TV". Regardless, you should always keep the flash drive plugged into the TV while your app is running, even if you copy it to your internal memory.

===Why should I install the app on my TV memory?===
Some apps run into problmes if your USB flash drive is not fast enough to convey data. Preferably these are the apps you want to install on your TV internal memory.

===I'm lost. There are so many apps on the list. Which one should I try first?===
This is a personal preference. If you are currently using DLNA to stream digital media to your TV then SamyGO Extensions is the app for you.

Extract the Extension pack which is appropriate for your Television model. This can be a bit tricky. If your television is listed as supported for SamyGO then one of the listed extensions is appropriate for your television. You must select the appropriate precompiled package for your television. If you want to compile your own, this wiki is probably too basic for you, [[SamyGO_Extensions_Pack|see this instead]].
If you select the wrong one, don't worry. The app simply won't do anything. To aid you in your selection refer [[SamyGO_Extensions_Pack#Is_this_stuff_compatible_with_your_tv|to this]] or ask for help in the appropriate [http://forum.samygo.tv/viewtopic.php?f=5&t=96|support forum].

From the content library you will see SamyGO extensions. Select, press enter and play.
Your screen will flash once for 1-2 seconds and revert back. Within a few seconds you should see a virtual USB connecting to your list of TV sources. This is great news. This is where you can access NFS(OSX,Linux,NAS) and CIFS/SAMBA (windows) shares from. This is also where you can access any standard UPNP DLNA server. The UPNP just works here unlike the buggy Samsung implementation.

===What the heck are you talking about? I can't access any NFS or SAMBA shares. What's wrong?===

For NFS: you should probably add the IP address of your NFS share IP address into the nfs mounting configuration file (03_03_nfsmount.init) . Use notepad++ or another text editor that is linux friendly. The default windows txt editor notepad will give you grief.

You can find this file in the following directory of your flash drive if you have extracted the SamyGO extensions as instructed above:
(USB flash drive Letter):\SamyGO\etc\init.d\03_03_nfsmount.init

Open this file with notepad++ and find the line the reads as follows:
##### YOU CAN CHANGE ME HERE ######
SERVER="'''Add your nfs share IP address here'''"
# SERVER="10.0.0.1" # if you want a fixed server (this is a sample what the above line should look like

If you are trying to mount a Samba (windows share) then you need to add your username and password to access that share to file names 04_04_samba.init.dis located here:
(USB flash drive Letter):\SamyGO\etc\init.d\04_04_samba.init.dis

it's pretty obvious where you need to add the required information:

##### CHANGE MEEEEE !!!!! ######
USER="'''ADD WINDOWS USERNAME HERE'''"
PASSWD="'''ADD PASSWORD HERE'''"
PERM="rw" # can be ro or rw
##### CHANGE MEEEEE END ######

Try activating SamyGO extensions again. You should be able to browse your networked file share as if all the files were on a USB drive attached to your TV. In fact, that's what the TV thinks it is doing, browsing a USB device. In fact its connecting to a virtual USB drive which allows you to use NFS, SAMBA or UPNP protocols to browse media files.

no more restarting your movie from the beginning if you lose your DLNA connection. You can resume your media playback right where you left off without having to copy files to a drive and attach them to your TV. To resume playing a media file you were previously playing, press the blue button on remote control at beginning of media playback (you should receive a media pIsn't it awesome.

===My media playback is not good. It keeps pausing?===
As much as we might enjoy pinning this on Samsung given the grief they have caused use with firmware encryption and restriction, this probably has to do with your network performance. If you are trying to stream a 1080p media file over a 802.11g wireless network you're going to run into such playback problems. If you use an ethernet cable or a wireless N connection you should be fine.

===I still don't get it. Can you walk me through this?===
If your TV is listed as supported, do not despair. You can get it to work.
One of our members maintains a page that has pictures and a step by step proces to launch a content libary app. [http://translate.google.com/translate?hl=us&sl=pl&tl=en&u=http%3A%2F%2Fmoras86.ugu.pl%2Fsamsung%2Ffaq%2F%23Internet_widgets Check it out here.] If all else fails, that's what the community support forum is there for.

==Using Internet@TV ==

===What is Internet@TV?===

Internet@TV is the name Samsung has given to their latest television appliances which converge the internet and televisions in once device. They are a collection of Samsung apps which due to their graphical user interface are called widgets. Samsung, in its short-sightedness decided that some of the newer widgets would not be made available to older television model owners. However these older televisions (B-series) can actually run the new widgets included in the C-series. Examples of these new widgets include: Google Maps, Facebook, USA today News etc.

===I can hack those widgets too?===

Well not exactly. But you can install widgets by setting up a webserver on your home computer that Samsung has not released for your television (B-series).

===How can install the widgets that I really want?===

1. First download the application [https://sourceforge.net/projects/xampp/files/ XAMPP]. This is an opensource apache distribution which includes a webserver. You install the application and launch the application xampp-control.exe from the main installation folder. If you are installing this for the first time you can start the application by accepting a prompt to start XAMPP control panel. Next press start Apache. You should get a confirmation that it is running.

2. Next you need to create an account on your television to setup widgets. After you turn on your TV pres the Internet@TV button. Wait a few seconds till it finishes loading. Create a new account and enter any PIN. Accept the changes

3. You need to add and update the list of widgets you want. First you need to select the widget series that you want for your TV. Examples can be found here.

'''Work in Progress'''

===I still don't get it. Can you help me?===
Well do not despair. The support forum is always available to assist you. You may want to try out one of member's website who has pics and [http://translate.google.com/translate?hl=us&sl=pl&tl=en&u=http://moras86.ugu.pl/samsung/faq/%23Internet_widgets step by step instructions].

==Using Hotel@USB ==
'''TODO'''


=Compatibility table (just for evaluation purposes)=
Below is a first draft of a new version of a comprehensive compatibility table for SamyGO. It is here for evaluation purposes, please feel free to comment on it in the forum. Since this is a still a draft, not all links are there yet, or working. Also probably not all models have been put in yet, and the ones that are there have not yet been completed, I'm still working on it (especially finding the links into the forum pages is a tough job).

The main changes are:

removal of the display type (I think you know what you bought)

Indication of access routes with letters.

combination of a whole bunch of options into a few columns

Oh, and never mind the thin blank lines in the table, they're just empty table entries.

Note: The SamyGO project is compatible with most of the other LN, LA, UN, or UA model TV's. We just haven't tested them yet. No need to get worried about that.

SamyGO for DUMMIES

2011-01-27T23:10:51Z

Rhesus98: /* I still don't get it? */

I think we have a problem here in SamyGO. Older members tend to know a lot about embedded systems and their operating systems, but some newbies don't seem to know how to execute basic programs...
We thought that every one would know that, because of its relative simplicity. But we are wrong there. Also the Wiki pages are too overwhelming for some newbies.

I think we needed to create a wiki page `SamyGO for DUMMIES" and divert all newbies to that article before starting.
The article might mention about how you could execute programs on a TV or copy them to internal TV memory etc. Easy things, which we don't feel the need to talk a lot about.

So I created this page. Me and others will fill this area later on to show simple processes. Also put pictures about running steps of external applications from TV etc...

=Admin's Message for members to edit this page=
This is page for "dummies".

Please keep this page '''"simple as possible" and "modularized"''', means, do not put information if it's not really required and do not try to explain other article pages, just give a link to that article ( like Samba Mounting, firmware patcher etc...) Here needed to be just elementary information.

Thanks

=What is SamyGO?=
SamyGO started in the summer of 2009 as a thread at avsforum, under the title "Samsung LNXXA650 InfoLink hacking". This thread drew a lot of attention and slowly strayed away from its original topic towards rooting TV's and firmware hacking. It also got quite long, so Erdem U. Altinyurt and a few others decided to start a sourceforge project, specific for enhancement of the firmware of Samsung TV-sets, specifically aimed at models issued from 2008 onwards. Many people stayed on and came along from avsforum to sourceforge.

So that is what SamyGO is: A sourceforge project, aimed at enhancing firmware and functionality, specifically for Samsung TV models from 2008 onwards.

The activities of the SamyGO project comprise, but are not limited to:

#Gaining access to all available Samsung TV models from 2008 onwards (rooting).
#Active development of software extensions to enhance Samsung TV accessibility.
#Active development of applications to run on Samsung TV hardware.
#Giving support to project members who want to enhance their TV's functionality.

SamyGO is not a program that you can "just run" on your TV. Enhancing your hardware is not THAT simple. It requires some beginner and intermediate computer skills. The community will support you and is committed to helping you make this work for you. Remember however, that you need to do your part too. Read and try to understand. If you don't understand, ask in the appropriate forum. Proceed only once you understand what it is you are trying to achieve.

=I want more functionality from my TV. What do I need to do?=

# Find out whether your TV model is supported by SamyGO. See the supported models list at our homepage for that.
# Find out which firmware version your TV is equipped with. Newer firmwares are not (yet) supported by SamyGO. See also the supported models list.
# Checkout the access route for your TV, again, this is in the supported models list.
# Get access! Follow the tutorials in the Wiki pages for that.
# Install the software you like/need.
# Enjoy your improved equipment.

Each of these steps will be explained briefly.

=What is my TV model code and number ?=
[[File:Ue40b7020_model.png|right]]Model code and number are almost the same thing. The model number is a short form of the model code. This is a sample model code with the model number written bold.
'''UE40B7020'''WWXXC
You can read your model code from the sticker at the side or rear of your TV. Once you found the model, you can check whether it is supported by SamyGO [[Compatibility|here for A- and B-series]] and [[Compatibility_Table_for_C_series_TVs| here for C-series models.]]

=What is my firmware model and version ?=
You can learn your firmware number by entering the [[Service Menu]].
PROCEED WITH GREAT CAUTION.

Do not change anything in the service menu until you understand what each setting does. The service menu is like entering the BIOS in a computer. It's where changes can be made to the "brain" that controls television functions. Making the wrong choice in a setting can result in a completely unexpected result and brick your television. To navigate the Service menu ''ONLY'' use the up and down button. Use enter to select and the previous button to return to the previous screen. '''DO NOT USE the RIGHT and LEFT''' buttons of your remote while navigating the service menu unless you know what you are trying to do. Using the left and right navigation butttons may change some variables that may easily brick your TV. If you do make a change to a menu, do not panic. Simply navigate in the opposite direction until the original variable is visible. This is by default the selected option.

To identify your firmware version you only need to enter the main screen of the service menu. You do not need to navigate to other Service menu pages. Identification of your firmware version is important to determine whether your television firmware is supported by SamyGO [[Compatibility|here for A- and B-series]] and here for[[Compatibility_Table_for_C_series_TVs| C-series models.]] You exit the Service menu by turning off the television.

=Is my TV a CI or a CI+ device?=
Samsung has implemented increasing encryption with each series of televsions it releases. Earlier models had no firmware encryption, subsequent firmware releases have [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/XOR_cipher XOR]cipher encryption and the latest firmware releases utilize both AES and XOR encryption. This encryption limits how much editing of a firmware can be done despite the fact that the software Samsung uses is opensource and publicly available from [http://opensource.samsung.com/ Samsung] per GNU and GPL licensing terms. Knowing the type of firmware utilized is important because it determines what kind of access you can obtain in your television's operating system. There are two types of firmwares based on access, CI and CI+ devices.

A television from the C series is always a CI+ device. B series models have two possibilities: If there is a P in the last part of the model code, it is most likely a CI+ device. The firmware version installed on these TV's has the letters CIP in the firmware version code. Otherwise it is probably a CI device. A series devices do not have encryption.

Some examples:
LE40B652T4'''W'''XXU device uses T-CHL7DEUC firmware, which indicates it is a CI device.
LE40B652T2'''P'''XXU device uses T-CHLCIPDEUC firmware, which indicates it is a CI+ device.
UE40B7020W'''W'''XXC device uses T-CHU7DEUC firmware, which indicates it is a CI device.
'''TODO: Add some UN,UE and PS model "codes" here.'''

You can also find your firmware name and version number in the [[Service Menu]].
This is important to know because there are different software solutions depending on whether your TV is a CI or a CI+ device. Software developers frequently develop two versions of software to support these two types of firmwares. It's up to you to select the right one for your Television.

=What are Restricted Firmwares?=
Restricted Firmwares are original Samsung firmwares which have been released after 01 February 2010. These firmwares have been restricted in many ways by Samsung and have limited how much access one can gain inside their television's operating system. Here in the SamyGO community, we believe this is a deliberate effort to hinder and disable our software development efforts. It is probably also required by the copyright holders of certain parts of the encryption/decryption software for CI+.

Functions that have been removed by the release of these Restricted Firmwares are:
*ExLink Access , that allows us Serial connection to TV's bash line.
*Removal of Top Debug Menu that let us allow to configure every property of TV.
*Removal of u-boot code for that we use to run External firmwares and un-bricking TV.
*Removal of program copy and execution ability from USB disks.
*Removal of Alternative firmware firmware section to avoid reverting older firmwares.
*Additional security enhancements to avoid to flash hacked firmwares.

(*'''TODO: Anything that I forgot?")

If you are interested in applying any of the SamyGO software enhancements to your television's firmware, it's better not to have received any of these firmwares. However, do not despair if you have had your television crippled by these "updates". The ingenuity and hard work of the developers of the SamyGO community have found several work-arounds that will allow you to restore your television to an older firmware that allows SamyGO applications to run. They have also simplified and automated part of this process as much as it is legally possible.

Unfortunately, if you have a restricted firmware, you can't just plug and play. There are several steps that you need to take to gain back "ownership" of your television. Several steps are involved including, copying programs to your TV memory by using an open vulnerabilities such as the "Children Menu" hack or the Nurisam Trojan. This will allow you to move applications to TV and enjoy additional features currently no possible...

=How can I get access to my TV?=
Samsung televisions have an embedded operating system based on linux. When you turn your television on you are essentially operating a computer as a user. You are given limited access to core parts of the operating system by design. If you want more control of what your television you must give it commands to run additional pieces of software with the functionality you desire. To do this you need to obtain access to the television's operating system as a [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Superuser superuser or with root access].
To control any Linux-based system, you need root access to it (Administrator privileges in Windows). Depending on the type of TV and version of the firmware, this can be achieved in a number of ways. In the compatibility tables you can find the methods that have been used successfully for each type (The list is not complete yet, work in progress).
Depending on the firmware and television model you may be able to do this with a simple software installation from a USB drive or you may need to install modified firmware or may need to revert to an older version of firmware that has not been restricted by Samsung.
You can gain access to your televisions operating in several ways.Consult the compatibility table at the bottom of this page to determine which method you can use:

#'''USB''': Loading software from the USB port by flash drive. Restricted firmware has disallowed access to the built in functionality. This is also how modified firmware is flashed.
#'''Telnet''': For models with ethernet connectivity it is possible to gain telnet access via your computer network. Non ethernet models may also become network accessible by using a usb wi-fi dongle. This required that you have already obtained root acess and your your television has been modified to allow network access (less common way).
#'''Ex-link Port''' An Ex-link port or service port which allows direct connection from your computer to the television.

== The Ex-Link port ==
Many TV models are accessible through a serial port, called Ex-link. This port is addressed in the manuals as "connector for service only". It is a serial port, with a 3.5mm stereo jack as connector. To use it, you will need a serial cable with the right layout, which is given [[Enable_Serial_Console_on_non_CI%2B_Devices|'''here'''.]] On the same page you will find how to enter the service menu of your TV, at least for a number of older types. It would be wise to make or buy such a cable prior to changing your firmware in the event of a catastrophic event that requires this connection to recover your television functionality(unbrick your TV).

==SamyGO System Requirements==
#A television that is supported by SamyGo Software. See the [[Compatibility| compatibility list]] (Absence of your model '''does not mean''' that your model is absolutely not supported.)
#Your television must have a firmware software that is [[Is_my_TV_supported%3F|unrestricted]]. (Even if it's restricted, you have things that can help you regain access.)
#A computer with internet connection to download the required files.
#A little bit of courage and nerve to follow through the entire process.
#A USB drive formatted with FAT32. NOTE for windows users: DO NOT extract the files contained in the zip and rar files you download to an NTFS partition and then to your flash drive. Certain file attributes that are necessary for linux executable files and scripts are lost. A rule of thumb is ALWAYS extract the files you are going to use directly to the USB drive.
#If you're smart you'll also get a ex-link cable and take the previously stated necessary precautions (active debug and turn off watchdog in the service menu) to be ready in case the television gets bricked.

==Reverting back to unrestricted firmware==
Loading third party software has been limited with the latest versions of restricted firmware. If you are in the lucky group of television owners with unrestricted firmware then you can skip this section, you are in luck! If your are in the unlucky group of restricted firmware (usually any firmware after dated updated in 2010) then you must revert back to an unrestricted firmware first prior running any SamyGO applications on your TV. Developers at SamyGO have made this a fairly simple process by using a script that automates this process. A list of supported television models and detailed instructions can be [[Forced_revert_back_to_older_firmware| found here]]. Please review all this in detail prior to proceeding with any modifications or running any scripts. The summary below only emphasizes certain key points:

#Use the script FFB only if your television is supported. Only certain CI models are supported at this time. If your model is not listed and it's a CI television then consider asking for support in the appropriate section of the SamyGO forum.
#Prior to running the script, you '''MUST''' have your full firmware downloaded and extracted on the root of your USB drive. You can download your firmware from [http://www.samsung.com/us/support/downloads/ Samsung download center]. That link is just an example for US TV models. Similar Samsung websites are available for every market where Samsung products are sold.
#Prior to running this script you must also add some missing files to the firmware directory. These vary by television model but are necessary to restore the u-boot function, the kernel and other files that the restricted firmware has removed to limit access to your television . These files (u-boot.bin, Image and fnw.bin) are '''SPECIFIC''' to your television model. They are typically added in the image subdirectory of your firmware on the USB flash drive. If you can't find the specific files for your television model posted on the forums, then ask in the support forum for help. '''DO NOT attempt''' to run this script without having all the required files.
#You may used either original firmware or patched firmware with the FFB script. If you want to use the patched firmware.
#Remember, the SamyGO community is not liable for any damages that are caused to you or your property in the event of a catastrophic event (brick your TV) related to things you do to your television. The community does this for recreational purposes and has had great success. In the event that your television is damaged we can not be held liable but we will do our best to help you recover your bricked TV.

==Patching Firmware with the SamyGO Firmware Patcher==
B-series models (Non CI+) with older firmwares (pre february 2010) have firmware update files which are only trivially encrypted by Samsung and can be modified to allow additional functionality.The [[SamyGO_Firmware_Patcher| SamyGO firmware patch script]] is based on python a computer programming language and changes some of the startup scripts inside of the firmware. This allows additional functionality in the firmware.
Such functionality includes
# Applies the [[Video_AR_Fix|AR v1 Fix]]. This properly resizes the picture proportions n Samsung B series TVs
# Allows you to increase the size of srt subtitles shown in movie playback and
# Subtitle color can change as well. SamyGO favorite is yellow, (ARGB code for yellow is: 0xFFFFFF00, for original color: 0xFFF0F0F0)
# Telnet, advanced or patch.

Once the script completes you will have a new modified firmware with the aforementioned modifications. Once you flash this modified software to your television, you will enjoy the above enhancements but will also be able to run additional software which will enhance your television's functionality even further. This modified firmware makes it much easier to gain root access through [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Telnet telnet]. Telnet is a small program that enables remote access to another computer. For windows, you can use PuTTY. This remote access is required, since (at least at this stage) there is no mouse or keyboard attached to your TV. The full use of the SamyGO firmware patcher is explained [[SamyGO_Firmware_Patcher|'''here'''.]] Do '''NOT''' proceed until you review and understand the posted instructions. New users will likely not use the advanced option yet because it does requires advanced modifications that if done incorrectly can brick your tv. You are advised to make or buy an ex-link cable for recovery, especially true if you decide to use the advanced option.
The following points do not substitute the wiki for the patch scripter but simply highlight some key points:
#You must download and install python version 2.6. Do not install a different version, you may encounter script errors.
#For windows users, it may be easiest to place the directory with the extracted original firmware inside the python26 directory. By default, the windows installer places the python executable files at the root of your hard drive, usually inside C:\\python26. If you own a
#Open a command prompt window in windows (Start menu->All Programs->Accessories->Command prompt) or just (Windows Key+R) and type Code
cmd
#Change the active directory to C:\python26. You can use this with the cd command
cd c:\\python26
#When you download the script you may have to rename it to SamyGO.py to keep things simple. It will also be easiest if you extract the original firmware inside the python26 directory. Your firmware then should be located in C:\\python26\T-CHEAUSC\
#In order for the script to run successfully, you must give the entire proper command line to run it. Double clicking the script, dragging and dropping the file icon will not work. The command structure is: "python SamyGO.py <your extracted firmware directory>"
A sample command for a television owner who has T-CHEAUSC firmware would be :
python SamyGO.py ./T-CHEAUSC
If this is working correctly you should see a the script running in the command prompt window. Decrypting key with XOR key: T-CHEAUSC etc....
#Answer the prompts to the questions. Your answer will determine how the firmware will be patched.
#Once the script finishes you should get confirmation that it completed successfully.
#Copy the directory with your firmware to your FAT32 USB drive root, in this case the folder is T-CHEAUSC located inside the c:\\python26 directory and should be copied to (USB Drive letter):\T-CHEAUSC
#Once you are ready can update to this firmware using the software upgrade USB method as described in your owners manual.

==Flashing your modified firmware==
#Make sure your firmware is copied to the root of your FAT32 formatted USB drive.
#You can reach the software upgrade menu from your remote control: Menu->Help->Software Upgrade->USB
#You get a pause for 30 secs while your TV searches for a valid firmware.
#Install your modified firmware.
#Remember altering your firmware and trying to install it carried risk of permanent damage. Please read the wiki and become acquainted with what you are trying to do.

If you are more adventurous and feel confident enough you can also update the firmware by direct access by using the exlink cable.

==Using Content Library applications ==

If you have flashed the modified firmware or if you have an unrestricted firmware you can start playing and enjoying the [[Content_Library_applications_list|SamyGO applications]].

===What are SamyGO applications?===

They are applications written by developers that enhance the functionality of your Samsung TV. These are not so different from the apps that Samsung includes in their television e.g. twitter, display weather, news etc.
The major difference is that SamyGO apps provide advanced functionality but because they are not formally supported by Samsung, they require a different process to be launched.

===Where can I find a content Library application?===
There is a [[Content_Library_applications_list|wiki page]] where a list of apps can be found. This page typically has a brief description of the app functionality, a link to download the file as well as a link to the forum where the develop seeks, feedback, can help with troubleshooting etc.

===How do I install a SamyGO app?===
After you download the app, you should extract it directly to the root of your FAT32 formatted flash drive. Common extraction programs are winzip or winrar. You plug your Flash drive in a TV USB port.
If your TV is turned on a popup will appear that will prompt you to select:
Media play, content libary or software upgrade. Select Content Library.
In the content library menu select USB (left hand side) and move your highlighter to the games and/or children. You should see a list of the apps on your flash drive.

You have two options here. You can run the app from the flash drive or you can copy the app to the television internal memory.
To run an app highlight it, hit enter on your remote and then play.
If you don't get an error message then your app should be running.

===How many apps can I install on the internal memory of your TV? Do I still need the flash drive?===
You have a limited amount of memory in your television. This determines how many apps "fit on your TV". Regardless, you should always keep the flash drive plugged into the TV while your app is running, even if you copy it to your internal memory.

===Why should I install the app on my TV memory?===
Some apps run into problmes if your USB flash drive is not fast enough to convey data. Preferably these are the apps you want to install on your TV internal memory.

===I'm lost. There are so many apps on the list. Which one should I try first?===
This is a personal preference. If you are currently using DLNA to stream digital media to your TV then SamyGO Extensions is the app for you.

Extract the Extension pack which is appropriate for your Television model. This can be a bit tricky. If your television is listed as supported for SamyGO then one of the listed extensions is appropriate for your television. You must select the appropriate precompiled package for your television. If you want to compile your own, this wiki is probably too basic for you, [[SamyGO_Extensions_Pack|see this instead]].
If you select the wrong one, don't worry. The app simply won't do anything. To aid you in your selection refer [[SamyGO_Extensions_Pack#Is_this_stuff_compatible_with_your_tv|to this]] or ask for help in the appropriate [http://forum.samygo.tv/viewtopic.php?f=5&t=96|support forum].

From the content library you will see SamyGO extensions. Select, press enter and play.
Your screen will flash once for 1-2 seconds and revert back. Within a few seconds you should see a virtual USB connecting to your list of TV sources. This is great news. This is where you can access NFS(OSX,Linux,NAS) and CIFS/SAMBA (windows) shares from. This is also where you can access any standard UPNP DLNA server. The UPNP just works here unlike the buggy Samsung implementation.

===What the heck are you talking about? I can't access any NFS or SAMBA shares. What's wrong?===

For NFS: you should probably add the IP address of your NFS share IP address into the nfs mounting configuration file (03_03_nfsmount.init) . Use notepad++ or another text editor that is linux friendly. The default windows txt editor notepad will give you grief.

You can find this file in the following directory of your flash drive if you have extracted the SamyGO extensions as instructed above:
(USB flash drive Letter):\SamyGO\etc\init.d\03_03_nfsmount.init

Open this file with notepad++ and find the line the reads as follows:
##### YOU CAN CHANGE ME HERE ######
SERVER="'''Add your nfs share IP address here'''"
# SERVER="10.0.0.1" # if you want a fixed server (this is a sample what the above line should look like

If you are trying to mount a Samba (windows share) then you need to add your username and password to access that share to file names 04_04_samba.init.dis located here:
(USB flash drive Letter):\SamyGO\etc\init.d\04_04_samba.init.dis

it's pretty obvious where you need to add the required information:

Try activating SamyGO extensions again. You should be able to browse your networked file share as if all the files were on a USB drive attached to your TV. In fact, that's what the TV thinks it is doing, browsing a USB device. In fact its connecting to a virtual USB drive which allows you to use NFS, SAMBA or UPNP protocols to browse media files.

no more restarting your movie from the beginning if you lose your DLNA connection. You can resume your media playback right where you left off without having to copy files to a drive and attach them to your TV. To resume playing a media file you were previously playing, press the blue button on remote control at beginning of media playback (you should receive a media pIsn't it awesome.

===My media playback is not good. It keeps pausing?===
As much as we might enjoy pinning this on Samsung given the grief they have caused use with firmware encryption and restriction, this probably has to do with your network performance. If you are trying to stream a 1080p media file over a 802.11g wireless network you're going to run into such playback problems. If you use an ethernet cable or a wireless N connection you should be fine.

===I still don't get it. Can you walk me through this?===
If your TV is listed as supported, do not despair. You can get it to work.
One of our members maintains a page that has pictures and a step by step proces to launch a content libary app. [http://translate.google.com/translate?hl=us&sl=pl&tl=en&u=http%3A%2F%2Fmoras86.ugu.pl%2Fsamsung%2Ffaq%2F%23Internet_widgets Check it out here.] If all else fails, that's what the community support forum is there for.

==Using Internet@TV ==

===What is Internet@TV?===

Internet@TV is the name Samsung has given to their latest television appliances which converge the internet and televisions in once device. They are a collection of Samsung apps which due to their graphical user interface are called widgets. Samsung, in its short-sightedness decided that some of the newer widgets would not be made available to older television model owners. However these older televisions (B-series) can actually run the new widgets included in the C-series. Examples of these new widgets include: Google Maps, Facebook, USA today News etc.

===I can hack those widgets too?===

Well not exactly. But you can install widgets by setting up a webserver on your home computer that Samsung has not released for your television (B-series).

===How can install the widgets that I really want?===

1. First download the application [https://sourceforge.net/projects/xampp/files/ XAMPP]. This is an opensource apache distribution which includes a webserver. You install the application and launch the application xampp-control.exe from the main installation folder. If you are installing this for the first time you can start the application by accepting a prompt to start XAMPP control panel. Next press start Apache. You should get a confirmation that it is running.

2. Next you need to create an account on your television to setup widgets. After you turn on your TV pres the Internet@TV button. Wait a few seconds till it finishes loading. Create a new account and enter any PIN. Accept the changes

3. You need to add and update the list of widgets you want. First you need to select the widget series that you want for your TV. Examples can be found here.

'''Work in Progress'''

===I still don't get it?===
Well do not despair. The support forum is always available to assist you. You may want to try out one of member's website who has pics and [http://translate.google.com/translate?hl=us&sl=pl&tl=en&u=http://moras86.ugu.pl/samsung/faq/%23Internet_widgets step by step instructions].

=Compatibility table (just for evaluation purposes)=
Below is a first draft of a new version of a comprehensive compatibility table for SamyGO. It is here for evaluation purposes, please feel free to comment on it in the forum. Since this is a still a draft, not all links are there yet, or working. Also probably not all models have been put in yet, and the ones that are there have not yet been completed, I'm still working on it (especially finding the links into the forum pages is a tough job).

The main changes are:

removal of the display type (I think you know what you bought)

Indication of access routes with letters.

combination of a whole bunch of options into a few columns

Oh, and never mind the thin blank lines in the table, they're just empty table entries.

Note: The SamyGO project is compatible with most of the other LN, LA, UN, or UA model TV's. We just haven't tested them yet. No need to get worried about that.

NFS support is built-in to the firmware, the cifs kernel module causes a panic (I will try compiling my own later) and I don't like UPnP so I didn't even try it out.
