Someone did that here and managed to be working: https://toonforum.nl/d/140-toon2-en-too ... rooting/59

And if that doesnt' work let me know. Then I'll install Bullseye and update the scripts.

Hello,

Managed to create the hotspot and did successfully run sudo bash activate-toon.sh and had a quick run with sudo bash root-toon.sh payload. It ended asking for a password. Guess that's it or I have to run the update-rooted.sh from the Toon?

By the way. Perhaps add a buy-me-a-coffee link or something to the Github? A recognition of your great work would be only fair!

Cheers, Bill

if rooting was successful then the password to login to Toon is now 'toon' with username 'root'
The script update-rooted.sh must be run on Toon itself indeed.

That did the trick: running the update script and then running the update script -f again.

Thanks!

Bill

Trying to root my Toon2, but Toon2 keeps telling me "Activeren bij Service Center" and is kind of greyed out.
I imaged an Rpi3 with buster and tcpdump, installed the Root-a-toon. When receiving my Toon it was set back to factory default, So I starten with the Welcome screen, had to choose the country/language, step 1 succceed, connected to the RPIhotspot (message = connected to internet).
But the bar below says "Activieren bij Service Center".

I already did a reboot but with no luck, I keep stuck on this screen.

Can anybody help me and tell me what to do?

EDIT: Seems an issue with my RPI access point....

@xavier
Try factory reset again and now select Belgium - Dutch language and try again.
That maybe helps to contact the service center again.

Ok so for now:
I managed finally to setup my raspberry pi as access point.
I have now a SSID which I can connect to with Toon2.
I see I can also connect to internet.
Toon2 is connect to service center now.
Still stuck in activation screen.
I did factory reset, connected to SSID.
Based on the manual of Root-a-Toon I started the script

Code: Select all

sudo bash activate-toon.sh

I pressed the activation button and entered random code but nothing happens, nor on the Toon2 or in the script.

***EDIT**** (something with patience

)
After (maybe) 10 times reentering "code" I got the activation screen and followed the instructions.
Activation succeeded

Yes this is correct. After you entered the activation screen the service center must be disconnected again by the script. This takes a while for the toon to discover but only after that the activation process can continu.

So you did this in the Belgium setup now?

Once rooted you can switch back to factory reset and Dutch. Activation will then be done by the TSC script which is installed during the rooting process.

My toon 1 is stuck in the activation screen..
I can't continue with the activation so the rooting script doesnt work.
Probably related to the vpn issue

is there any way around this without connecting the pi to the toon's pins?

Managed to activate with Dutch, so no need to do factory reset.

I tried to use the auto root script on my R8 bootloader, using the serial to USB interface. But nothing happened.

So I started doing the manual process.
When i needed to reboot the Toon, the auto root script started automatically.

Great. Only, it doesnt work. Its stuck in an loop.
From the logs:

Code: Select all

Downloading http://qutility.nl/dropbear_2015.71-r0_qb2.ipk.
Installing dropbear (2015.71-r0) to root...

 * pkg_run_script: package "busybox-passwd" postinst script returned status 1.
 * opkg_configure: busybox-passwd.postinst returned 1.

This just repeats over and over.

Any idea how I can either have the auto root script finish. Or at least how to get out of this startup loop?
I can SSH into the toon. But the root has a password that I dont have...
Also tried to reconnect the screen and do a factory reset. But that didnt change anything.
Disconnecting the ethernet cable just makes the script "waiting for internet" over and over.

edit:
Tried the https://github.com/ToonSoftwareCollective/ToonRecovery with my Pi. It says it boots in recovery on the Pi. But when i switch to serial the Toon reboots and starts the script again

Edit2:
Ran the auto root script from the RPI and it worked. Problem solved.

My guess is someone tried to do that before you already and messed up.
