Code: Select all

option tftp-server-name  "test;/bin/sh/cat messages ";
or maybe easier to verify

Code: Select all

option tftp-server-name  "test;/bin/sh/reboot";
We only have to find out if this line is ever processed by some process so it will execute

I have a small question,

My Toon is Rooted and I see that Toon website that Toon has a new software version update 4.7.
For doing this update what steps do I need to take?

1: startup the open VPN and make a connection to hae.int ?
2: search for the package .....

3: opkg update
4: opkg list-upgradable
5: opkg upgrade

What will happen with the software etc on my Toon like the Toon Store and will my Toon still rooted?
Or will the software upgrade in the Toon Store?

Thanks

Regards,
Michel

opkg upgrade

note that /etc/default/iptables.conf is overwritten, and ssh access to your toon therefore is no longer possible. /qmf/qml/qb/base/Globals.qml is also overwritten, so software as installed from the toonstore no longer works (but is still there).

Hello,

Thanks for your answer, then I will leave my Toon what it is :-)

Maybe I will do it in the future if there is something special in the new software.

I'm working on a fix for this problem, but it's a bit complex, and time is a rare commodity these days ...

You've done a great job with the root manual. I have 1 commernt. Why don't u use the internet adresses of the files instead of settung up a webserver? Like in:
wget http://files.domoticaforum.eu/uploads/T ... .0_qb2.ipk
wget http://files.domoticaforum.eu/uploads/T ... r0_qb2.ipk
wget: http://files.domoticaforum.eu/uploads/T ... r0_qb2.ipk

Can you tell what the workaround is ?
And will all functions of the app work?

wget: http://files.domoticaforum.eu/uploads/T ... r0_qb2.ipk
... because at the time of writing these files didn't exist, and .ipk files were not supported by this forum's server.
Not sure if plain http (port 80) will work, and wget as installed on toon does not support ssl.

I've enabled VPN for my rooted Toon temporary to get the latest update. Toon says the update is available. I would like to copy the ipk files (e.g. base-qb2-ene-<whatever>.ipk) for later use. But I can't find them... Shouldn't they be in /HCBv2/tmp/opkg-cache? (opkg-cache is not there either...)

Depends on the firmware version. Later firmwares (4.3.20 and later IIRC) store the downloads in /mnt/data/upgrade

Is it possible to share the update files from the toon store?

If you refer to the firmware upgrade files then the answer is technically yes, no problem.
However, we are not doing this to avoid any potential conflict regarding hosting/distributing copyrighted material.

We are thinking about alternative solutions but no ETA yet.

That would be illegal, so: No.

Does anyone have an idea where the top popup in the idle screen is managed in the latest software?

Even though I've deployed the workaround where it thinks it's connected to the service center, there's still a big white banner at the top stating it doesn't see the connection. "Geen verbinding met Service Center, kijk hier voor advies"

I can't find where it controls/checks that and how to disable it

Hello,

I upgraded my Toon but I think if you just do a upgrade and update in the backend and after the update edit the following file iptables.conf and reboot that your Toon is still working.
But I did not test that.
If you do in the backend just upgrade you will see a list with all the new files.
Now you can do wget base-qb2-ene-<whatever>.ipk and edit the files etc.
