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

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 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"!
