Hacking C-Series TV with Internet@TV only
Thanks to dredkin there now is a simple method of gaining root access on TVs equipped with the Internet@TV feature.
Contents
On your PC...
- Download "widget.zip" here
- Extract "widget.zip" to root directory of your system drive (for example: C:\ )
- Edit "widgetlist.xml" to change IP address to address of your PC
- Run "http.exe"
On your TV...
- 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
On your USB stick...
- 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
Starting the SamyGO Extensions...
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 [http://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/putty/ PuTTY for this.
If it does not work, the file "rcSGO_out" on your USB stick could help identifying the problem.
Things to keep in mind
- When editing scripts, always make sure line breaks are done with unix style "LF", NOT windows' "CRLF"!
