Fully automated rooting script

[TheHogNL]

Factory reset isn't necessary. This will only disable your activation and remove all history. Activation can be forced enabled after rooting ofcourse but as it is not necessary just leave it as it is.

Yesterday I've rooted my Toon with the script from @martenjacobs with a RPI-1. No errors, everything seemed fine.

However, I came across some issues that will probably related to my failure to do something first-time-right

1. I can only connect to my toon by issuing "sudo ssh -i id_rsa root@10.0.0.4" when I'm in exactly the correct folder where the ToonRooter-script is. I just want to be able to connect by ssh with just a (strong!) password, from any source within my network.

2. Connection from domoticz isn't working. At first I got a 403-error. After fidling around, I've installed the toonstore and that error is gone. However; next error a 404 - Not Found. Progress! But not the kind that is helpfull for me.

http://TOON_IP (the url is immediately rewritten to http://TOON_IP/qmf/www/, is that supposed to happen?)
404 - Not Found
http://TOON_IP/happ_thermstat?action=getThermostatInfo
404 - Not Found

Any hints? I've a 5.0.4-version in case that matters...

Generate a password for your Toon on this site:

https://unix4lyfe.org/crypt/

Fill in your plaintext password (twice) hit randomize for the DES Salt
and then hit Calculate next to DES crypt. This will generate a DES crypted
version of your password. Copy this DES crypt result and use it below.

Locate the password file /etc/passwd and edit the line:

root:DISABLED:0:0:root:/root:/bin/sh or root:SOME-OTHER-ENCRYPTED-PASSWORD:0:0:root:/root:/bin/sh

to read:

root:YOUR-DES-CRYPT-RESULT:0:0:root:/root:/bin/sh

and save. Otherwise you won't get in. This will set the root password to the
one you have generated. You can always change this later using the same method.

Hi,

Perhaps I'm a total noob, but I'm trying to follow the instructions on the GitHub page. However, under the section 'How to use it?', how do I actually connect the Raspberry Pi to the debugging header on the Toon? Does anyone perhaps have a picture of their Raspberry Pi properly attached to the Toon?

Thanks

[TheHogNL]

You just need jumper wires (dupont wires) to connect the Pi to the Toon using the pin layout in the README (under how to use it). Not sure what is unclear about that

[RichardGorter]

I think ít's my stupidity, I rooted with this video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0ojFe4Q7vDs.
I used the USB Blaster, I could get in the Toon. And changed the parameters. Tested the toon, and had a lot of more applications/option.
But then I couldn't run the update script.

I have put back the Toon to all the standard parameters, now I'm trying to root the Toon with a raspberry PI 1.
With this automated rooting script. But I can't get connection with the Toon like the USB Blaster.

I'm not sure if i got the serial actived right on the raspberry.

So how do I activate this commando in de Toon? with the raspberry?

sudo apt install python-serial python-cryptography
git clone https://github.com/martenjacobs/ToonRooter.git
cd ToonRooter
sudo python . --jtag-available

I'm now just running the script on the raspberry, not on the Toon.


This is my U-Boot version - 2010.09-R8

Well, the steps on the github page and here in the topic should be enough.
Rooting script should run on the Pi.

[RichardGorter]

Okay I figured out the problem, the serial output of the raspberry wasn't right. After checking the connection 3 times and setting the raspberry in the right configuration I could run the script.

I tried o log in with.

pi@raspberrypi:~ $ ssh root@192.168.178.234
ssh: connect to host 192.168.178.234 port 22: No route to host

Put back the screen on the Toon put it wasn't rooted. What should I try? Run the update script?

[TheHogNL]

No route to host? That means that your PI can't even get any ARP response from your Toon. Check your wifi connection.
With a non rooted Toon you will get connection timed out.

[RichardGorter]

Alright I'm getting further every day. But today I made a mistake.

So I let te script run again, this time the Toon connected to the router.

This was the result:

Started the Toon with the screen on, no result. So I thought maybe a factory reset. (Stupid idea).

When I start the Toon i'm stuck at STAP 2.1 Internet. I cannot connect to Toon to the wifi anymore

Do you guys have another idea?

[TheHogNL]

Did you connect the wifi cables correctly?
You can also try with a UTP cable

[RichardGorter]

There is no option in the screen for UTP.

[marcelr]

Just plug it in at the bottom of your toon and connect to a router.

[RichardGorter]

Yes i did that, then I booted the Toon. I get the startup screen and have to select a wifi network I cant select UTP.

[TheHogNL]

You can't select a WIFI or it just does not connect?

Just plugin a UTP, it will automatically overrule the WIFI
