Revision as of 10:43, 10 February 2012

D6 series SamsungTV only!

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. 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).
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).

How to install

Win32diskimage howto.png

1. USB > 1GB space (Windows users can use FAT32 formatted USB)
2. Download [D6_Hospitality_v1.0.zip]
3. Make USB from extracted image (1Gb) using attached Win32DiskImager.exe, or under linux (e.g. if your USB is recognized as sda): 

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.

How to use

Now after you restart TV, you get SamyGO Extensions executed. Limitation - no patches like BigYellow fonts, CHannelInfo and other available this way. Check wiki article for setup and ussage of SamyGO Extensions.
