Toon 1 and Toon 2 software rooting

[TheHogNL]

Please also read in dutch: https://toonforum.nl/d/140-toon2-en-too ... re-rooting

In my opinion, a too commercial urge has arisen in rooting the toon 2. Mutual relationships between the people who can root the toon have not been developing for a long time.
That is why I now make the root method that I discovered myself almost 4 years ago public so that everyone can now root a toon 2 but also a toon 1 using this method.

Read the how to and get the software here: https://github.com/ToonSoftwareCollective/Root-A-Toon

Good luck!

Wow, super jongens!

Community is jullie dankbaar, ik doe gelijk een donatie vandaag

Great News!
Took immediate action, ordered a Toon2 from Facebook marketplace today and prepped one of my RPI's to be the man in the middle.
When doing so, please do not make my lazy mistake, do a update / upgrade of your PI after the fresh install or else your RPI AP will not work.
Can't wait to get a more snappy Toon hanging on my wall!!!

Thanks

Update:
All went smooth, was done in 5min.
As toonstore was empty after root I did an extra update rooted -f cycle after which the toonstore showed apps.

[Vriesfde]

Rooting worked fast! Believe I now have a rooted Toon 2.

After the root i got prompted with a password request:
lighttpd edited to view tsc/sensors via browser

mkstemp: No such file or directory

Is there a default password to SSh to the rooted toon?

If you follow the guide from this script exactly it works correctly.

Thanks! This was for me the trigger to (finally) get myself a Toon2. Today I successfully rooted it with your method

[EchoNL]

Just activated a Toon 2 with the activate script, tried 3 times but worked fine.

Also gained root access to the Toon 2

Only it stops at root@ 192.***.*** password:

I entered standard password and manually rebooted it. Sadly no Toonstore or TSC menu. The popup messages says "Rooting your toon - please wait" and Er is een nieuwe TSC file update, but no TSC menu.

So i started the Toon 2 again and at password i enter standard password after this i type
sh / root/update-rooted.sh / killall -9 qt-gui / sync.

After reboot still the same no TSC or Toonstore. Is this because of firmware 5.41.1 or do i miss something simple?

Keep up the good work!

[TheHogNL]

run
sh /root/update-rooted.sh -f

That should fix it and read the logs of this if it doesn't because that should give clue why it isn't working.

[EchoNL]

run
sh /root/update-rooted.sh -f

I tried the solution you mentioned and succeeded.

Thank you!

You toon seems to be stuck in an old firmware update. It first needs those packages from the update before it can install dropbear. But it can't install them because the update server is blocked during rooting. As part of the root did succeed the update server will stay blocked now.

You have a toon2 I notice ('nxt' in the update url). You can run a recovery of the toon. If you are lucky you get the TSC recovery which will finish your root also. If you aren't lucky you will get a working toon2 back. Let it update to the latest firmware and rerun the rooting.

To run a recovery on the toon2 first remove power from your toon, then press and hold the reset button on the bottom and hold it all the way until recovery finishes. While holding the reset button, powerup your toon to start the recovery process. The screen will tell you what to do.

this did the trick, tanks.
I must have overread the part of updating toon first.

how do I activate zon op toon? do you know?

What did the recovery do? Was it a complete recovery with auto root (by TSC)? Or a normal recovery and you had to root again?

Overread the update part, no that isn't described. But your toon somehow was stuck in a update so a recovery was needed anyway.

Activate zon op toon in the tsc features menu. Only if you have a real zonoptoon configuration (with kwh meter). If you want to use the software emulation (with the solarapp in toonstore) it will do that for you.
