Toon firmware - update script

[maomanna]

I think you were warned that this would happen...

No, unfortunatly not. When I told them that I was disappointed, they offer to replace the toon with a certified one without root.
Im not sure what uboot I will get then and if this tutorial fits that uboot. Is it for uboot 2010-09-r10?

r10 is the one with unknown/encoded password so you need the jtag stuff for that (also in the tutorial).

However, there is probably no reason for you to do an update. Only if you use philips hue, you need to update to 4.13.7 to get it working again. But for most other users updating is not really necessary.

Thanks for this; smooth upgrade from 4.9.23 to 4.10.6 last night.

I'm using Hue; what version breaks this functionality? Do you recommend a certain version?

4.11.6 breaks Hue, don't know about older versions.
Recommended is 4.13.7 or higher if you use Hue.

[Rudolf]

Thanks for the info; I'll definitely skip 4.11.6 - 4.13.6. For now I'll stick to 4.10.6.

Hue is still working in 4.10.6, took me a while to verify that because updating to 4.10.6 breaks VNC-access.

VNC was still installed, but it was not the correct version.
Here is the download:
viewtopic.php?f=87&t=11966&p=85175&hili ... .9.#p85189
opkg install-ing that package fixed it for me.

[TheHogNL]

HUE should be ony fixed in 4.13.7 as philips did some modification so on all older firmwares it should be broken. But then again.. it's still working on 4.10.6 for you.. so that's weird

[Rudolf]

Sorry for the confusion; I'm not using the real Hue; I'm using emulated_hue from Home Assistant.
That still works on 4.10.6; I hope it will in future updates.

[TheHogNL]

Yes the emulated hue works fine

How hard would it be to perform such a Update on TOON (without SSH)

And also put the program into TOONStore?

First problem is that the apps on the Toon don't allow interaction with the command line linux commands. So you can't start a script on the linux side of the toon from the Toon GUI.

There is a way around that, which Toonstore is using. Long story. And I know that the people responsible for toonstore are trying to integrate the update script into the toonstore but it is not easy to do. And with all this sunshine,..

However I do recommend to get familiar with SSH/linux commands as owning a rooted Toon does require that skills from time to time. Or ask/hire a friendly forum member to do it for you.

ssh is not the problem; it's just a question that popped up my mind.

the script worked great

My cirrent version is 3.2.18, I ran the script three times now but the version remains 3.2.18.
Tried to upgrade to 3.2.20, and 4.10.16 twice.

Only result is that the apps from the toonstore finally are installed: before the upgrade nothing happend when I selected an app and clicked "Toon bijwerken".
tried everything, editing hosts file, etc, only after the update (attemps) they are installed.

[TerrorSource]

Your firmware 3.2.18 isn’t a default one so you need to force updating using the “-v 4.10.6” parameter

What is the output of the script?

That didn't make any difference.

What is the output of the script?

You mean the output during the process, or can I find a logfile somewhere?
