Toon firmware: issues (and solutions)

[aabre]

tks Marcelr,
I gonna dive into that story, I hope I can use a Rpi for the DHCP server, NFS server and TFTP server
First thing is making a Rootfs img from my working Toon

[marcelr]

Not sure if I posted all tools to actually make the rootfs image. Just yell if you need something, I will try and dig it up (it's been almost two years). To get things right, you will need some data from the bootstrap, describing the ubifs PEB layout. Earlier toons are a bit different from later ones, wrongly sized PEB's in the fs will not work.

Edit: I also bumped into some ubifs checking code on stackoverflow. Maybe it's good to take a look, see if you can salvage (part of) the rootfs, notably the vpn keys.

Ofcourse if all fails whe can whip up something quick&dirty in php, query bxt (remote) and scan the output for the values but what's the fun of that

I spend some time on this but I can't get it to work from qml only. Problem is that I cannot call bxt directly with the correct switches and parameters. Calls to bxt are all managed via the builtin module bxtClient in qt-gui.
In that module they only built the stuff they need for the qui. I am afraid we will have to go for the quick & dirty route.
I might take a second look later but chances on success are slim.

They have withdrawn firmware 4.9 and removed the update because a lot of bugs.

Interesting since in that same thread now they are revoking that News.
Though if you see all the reports it does look like a bug bomb.

EDIT: moved to the right topic, marcelr

I have some trouble with the controlPanel-app (Bedieningspaneel), at least I think.
I was playing around with HA-Bridge for setting up some fake Hue-lamps.
I have had succes before, I was able to add the HA-Bridge by editing /HCBv2/config or /mnt/data/qmf/config/config_hdrv_hue.xml

Today changed some settings in the HA-Bridge.
But then suddenly the ControlPanel-tab was missing (which is over the tiles).
I tried reverting config_hdrv_hue.xml to the original (I made a backup of the initial one).
I tried restarting qt-gui, but then I noticed some apps were missing in the Main Menu.


I believe it stops loading apps after crashing with the controlPanel-app.
The settings-app is still loaded, but in there I'm missing the Lamps tab that was there.

I tried disabling:

Code: Select all

appsToLoad.push("controlPanel");

in /qmf/qml/qb/base/Globals.qml
I tried deleting all other Custom Apps (ToonStore).

But it is still not fully loading the GUI.

Does somebody know which app should be loaded after "Wat is Toon"? (The last loaded app in the above image)

Also, the wifi-settings app is not loaded correctly, it does connect through the LAN-port.
So that is the only way I can SSH to it now...

Will resetting to factory defaults help me?
Or maybe updating to 3.9.xx (I'm on 3.8.something).

You are not the only one. Mine hasn't worked properly since updating to 4.8.25.

Nope.

Or maybe updating to 3.9.xx (I'm on 3.8.something).

Probably you are on 4.8.25? Neither 3.8.x nor 3.9.x ever existed...

Maybe you should take a look at the file config_happ_scsync.xml (in /qmf/config IIRC), and set end date (-1) , productvariant (Toon), and a bunch of flags for your toon. See what that brings.

You are right, I am on 4.8.25.
I didn't have any WiFi problems before though.

Yes, thank you! Setting <EndDate>-1</EndDate> brings back my apps:

I did had to reboot, reloading the GUI wasn't enough.

This post made me realize i haven't got all the tiles as well.. What can i do to get all of these??

All,
Unfortunately I somehow lost some folders while playing around with my hacked toon.
All I get now is a black lcd screen, but I still have telnet, ssh en VNC access.
In the /HCBv2/qml folder only the apps folder is left. The rest is gone
Is there anyone who want to help and can provide me the missing folders and it contents?
My Toon version is 4.8.2.5
Regards,
Martin

From FW 4.3.2x onwards, all stuff in /HCBv2 has been moved to /qmf.

Please check.

Thanks for your reply.
The /qmf folder only contains /qml/apps

[marcelr]

That's not a lot. One more question: does /etc/openvpn/vpn and its contents still exist on your toon?
If so, maybe it's possible to just upgrade your toon (and hope that all gaps are filled in the process).
Otherwise, you need a (partial) filesystem dump of a 4.8.25 machine. I don't have one at hand right now, although it's possible to make one.

[Martin101010]

I believe it’s all there, config and certificate files.
