I want to root my new toon (Toon 1)

What do I need ?
* Raspberry Pi
* USB to ttl 3.3v converter

Do I need a JTAG controller ?

thanks in advance

If your Toon is old enough (with known boot password) then a * USB to ttl 3.3v converter * wil be enough (with a computer ofcourse).

If your Toon is newer (with unknown password) you need the * Rasberry PI * with a few female-female dupont cables. You won't need the USB converter anymore as the Pi has an onboard 3.3v serial port.

A JTAG controller isn't needed. The PI is doing the JTAG debugging in software for you.

=============

So best, without knowing you have an older or newer Toon 1, is just to buy a Pi and some of those dupont cables

And next time, just read the manual in viewtopic.php?f=100&t=11235#p82533

how can I see if I have an old one

my SN start with 12-39-005-xxx

thanks for quick reply

SN 12 is an older one. Probably with known password. But never sure about this.
Beste way is to go with the Raspberry Pi option. It is so easy to do it with that rooter script. And you own a Raspberry PI afterwards which you then can use to do your home automation on

I saw later started with 16 has unknown password

Now i can started

when it works I write it here

That's what I'm running Domotica on, and it does work fine; I had to do research on which cables I should use (looking back at it, I clearly didn't have enough technical knowledge to start this home automation project... but I still went in and manage to do stuff, so I keep going, even if I'm walking like a person in the dark and finding my way by bumping into walls )

You will need to install another version of busybox.
Version 1.27.2-r4 (available from the forum ftp server) should work. MAKE SURE to also install the other three busybox packages with the same version number.

Or see my post here viewtopic.php?f=101&t=11999&p=90319&hilit=passwd#p90319

I have changed my password via tsc menu
the password is now reset to toon

in the next days i install an newer version of busybox

thanks for advice

Can I do this and the old files will we overwritten ?

opkg install http://files.domoticaforum.eu/uploads/T ... r4_qb2.ipk
opkg install http://files.domoticaforum.eu/uploads/T ... r4_qb2.ipk
opkg install http://files.domoticaforum.eu/uploads/T ... r4_qb2.ipk
opkg install http://files.domoticaforum.eu/uploads/T ... r4_qb2.ipk

My advice would NOT to update busybox. When done wrong it breaks your Toon.
Just use my description to set your own password.

You can also create your own crypted password with Just put the output in the /etc/passwd file at the right place.

ok you're right. I change password with a save method

thanks
