View source for Open backdoor for fixing bootloop situations

Some people have reported about a bootloop preventing the TV from starting through. The issue here often is, that the script invoked from within '''/mtd_exe/rc.local''' is getting stuck and preventing the exeDSP to start.
<br>There are two key steps that should be considered when hacking your image, to avoid such situations or at least to open a external "backdoor" to prevent the respective script from starting.
<br>
== Patching your exe.img ==
*Ensure that you send your scripts into the background when starting, by padding with a '''"&"'''. Your changes in /mtd_exe/rc.local should look like:
 export MAPLE_DEFAULT_PATH=/mtd_cmmlib/InfoLink/lib
 export MAPLE_MANAGER_WIDGET_PATH=/mtd_down/widgets/manager
 export MAPLE_NORMAL_WIDGET_PATH=/mtd_down/widgets/normal
 export MAPLE_WIDGET_DATA_PATH=/mtd_down
 export MAPLE_WIDGET_INCLUDE_PATH=/mtd_down/widgets/inc
 export MAPLE_PLUGIN_DATA_PATH=/mtd_cmmlib/InfoLink/lib
 export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$LD_LIBRARY_PATH:/mtd_cmmlib/YWidget_LIB
 export KF_SLEEP_READ=-2
 echo 30000 > /mtd_rwarea/DelayValue.txt
 #touch /mtd_rwarea/DoPrintYahoo.txt
 export KF_NO_INTERACTIVE=1
 export KF_LOG=/dev/null''';/mtd_rwarea/rc.local&'''
 cd /mtd_exe/ 
 
 ./exeDSP
== /mtd_rwarea/rc.local ==
*Include a check in your '''/mtd_rwarea/rc.local''' script, so that it will source and run a different set of commands, dependent on whether a specific file is detected on the USB-Drive or not. An example could look like:
 #!/bin/sh<br>
 # Open back-door for fixing boot-loop situations
 sleep 20            # Allow USB-stick to settle
 USB="/dtv/usb/sda1" # USB mount-point
 
 if [ -f $USB/usb.sh ];then
         echo "USB-File detected"
         $USB/usb.sh
 else
         echo "Running Normal SamyGO Startup"
         /mtd_rwarea/SamyGO.sh # Run normal startup script
 fi
 exit
