Warning!!!
NB. Method is not safe, tested on UA40D6000 and UE40D6750 only, needed to do more tests. Should work on other D series models too.
If bricked - no way back, just Service repair, not possible at home, sometimes if lucky, ExLink could be user for reviving...
SamyGO does not take any responsibility if TV bricks.
BEFORE TO START
- In service menu, enable Debug mode for the RS232 port:
- With TV switched off, press the following sequence on the remote: [INFO] [MENU] [MUTE] [POWER]
- Enter the Control menu and set the value of the RS232 mode to Debug.
- Once you're back to the main Service menu, you will have to power off the TV for normal operation.
- Notice that your TV will reset RS232 mode back to UART when you install another firmware (no matter if it's older or newer).
- Have a working Ex-Link Cable for C/D Series at hand (May help if TV bricks)
- If you don't feel capable of soldering such a cable, you can find and buy a cheap (under $5) USB to TTL adapter at eBay.
Supported firmwares
T-GAS*
T-GAS6*
What hack does?
Imports right start.sh to /mtd_rwarea and allows to use SamyGO on latest firmwares.
Also enables SamyGO Extensions start with TV start (no ticker needed).

dd if=D6_HospitalityHack.img of=/dev/sda
4. Power off TV, attach USB
5. Go to service menu (info-menu-mute-power) (or mute 1 8 2 power on USA models)
6. Enable hospitality mode in service menu.
7. Make "Clone USB to TV"
8. Restart TV. If not bricked, congrats :)
9. Go back to service menu and set Hospitality mode off
10. Install SamyGO using develop account according D series wiki article.
