Difference between revisions of "Hacking C-Series TV with Internet@TV only"

Revision as of 09:01, 3 February 2011

Thanks to dredkin there now is a simple method of gaining root access on TVs equipped with the Internet@TV feature.

Start Internet@TV and create user "develop"
Log in with that user, choose "Settings", choose "Development" and enter your computers IP address as the server address
Run widget and press "Hack your TV"
Exit Internet@TV and turn off TV

Format USB stick with FAT32 or NTFS
Download SamyGO Extension Pack and extract to root directory (choose the right pack matching your TV's firmware, for example: T-VALDEUC)
Download run_sh.zip and extract to root directory

Turn on TV and plug USB stick, then wait for the message box to disappear, wait some more time (~30 seconds), then try to login via SSH.

IP: You must know it
User: "root"
Pass: "SamyGO")

You can use PuTTY for this. If it does not work, the file "rcSGO_out" on your USB stick could help identifying the problem.

When editing scripts, always make sure line breaks are done with unix style "LF", NOT windows' "CRLF"!
