Universal USB disk to hack C series TV. It should work on any C series TV with export settings to ext3 USB support. Some models does not support ext3 file system for settings export (C6000/C630...firmwares with T-VAL6DEUC) Tested and works on models with T-MSX5DEUC, T-TDT5DEUC and T-VALDEUC (until 5.1.2011).

After this hack you can connect to TV over telnet, you get CIFS (samba) and NFS support. Moreover, if you attach USB with script file "SamyGO.sh", it will executed.

This hack has unificated structure for comfortable script execution for developers (read below)

Author and developer - Perforator from forum.ixbt.com (He made the first hack for C series TV also).

To Do

  • NFS automounts
  • php script for administer TV over http
  • implementations of easy installation/uninstallation of scripts

Preparation

1. USB > 1GB space. (windows user can use Fat32 formatted USB) 2. Export channel list from TV menu 3. Enter HotelMode mute-1-1-9 and export settings from TV menu 4. Save files you get anywhere in PC 5. Rename channel settings file (channel_list_LE32C550_1001.scm) to zip, like (channel_list_LE32C550_1001.scm.zip) 6. Open with archiver and add directory usb_mount with empty file in it (e.g. 1.txt; - very important) 7. Rename back to channel_list_LE32C550_1001.scm 8. Attach USB to TV and import channel settings to TV(not from Hotel mode!). Everything must go w/o errors. 9. Download file, extract from archive. You get 1Gb network_opt_28.12.2010_3_sda.img 10. Extract image to USB. Under windows you can use win32diskimager. Linux users can extract it under root permissions.
