Toon 1 and Toon 2 software rooting

[TheHogNL]

Where did you download the rooting script? You are using older versions. This is the place where you need to download:https://github.com/ToonSoftwareCollective/Root-A-Toon

Also, http://qutility.nl/dropbear_2015.71-r0_qb2.ipk should still work but not for you. Are you blocking internet access from the toon to the internet?

Hi TheHogNl,
I was using this script
https://github.com/IgorYbema/Root-A-Toon
so far.

Now I have downloaded your latest one.
I am running this on a PI to which I connect the Toon via WIFI, with access to the internet.

So now I reset the Toon and I am waiting for it to ask me to activate it again. It did do this before and I used the activation script but right now it is just sitting there, connected to the network and with the little box saying:
"activieren by service center".
What can I do now to get it to the activation screen again?

Once this is done I will try to run your updated script.

Thanks,

Merc

Once activated it should not come back with another activation request. Weird. But because your root attempt failed but did do a part of the rooting, this will not work anymore I am afraid.
You will need the older method with opening the Toon1, connecting cables from the Pi to the toon and using the ToonRooter script

I was expecting you to say this.

So which is the latest rooting script for the traditional way then? Dont want to use the wrong one again.

Thanks for your help.

but a Toon1 can always be recovered whatever you do wrong (on software) https://github.com/ToonSoftwareCollective/ToonRecovery

Can you tell me where you found the old github link? I already removed the repository there but want to remove the old link in documentations also

Hi there,
so right at the moment the hardware rooting is running. I am in the process of updating the software to the latest version.
In the console I can see a lot of "y" flashing and on the Toon's screen it says updating software but I am not sure if the progress bar is still moving

Is this the way it should be? Seems to take quite a while and all the informative text messages have disappeared.

Thanks for this script.

Hi TheHogNL,
I tried to find where I had picked up this "old" link to Github but cannot recall anymore.
I had bookmarked the page after I had found it.

It was a forum of some kind. If I will find it again I will let you know.

Thanks,

Merc


the toon is still updating the software and the shell is printing a lot of y's

Hi TheHogNL,

Should not take that long. If it is still running break it and try again. Hopefully it will pick up. If not, your last thing you can try is the ToonRecovery

Hello, I'am pretty new to this forum so I don't know exactly what is the normal procedure for asking a question around Toon2 software rooting but this thread seems the right spot.

Thanks in advance for helping me out!

So the problem. I did go the software rooting way following the 'quick guide' at https://www.domoticaforum.eu/viewtopic. ... 235#p82533

So far I can login on my I think rooted Toon 2 but I can't get the 'toonstore' to show up.

When I run: sh update-rooted.sh -f I think I see a problem but don't know if there is a solution. The log is as followws:

Only fixing files.
creating backup of inittab...

Finished fixing files!


I think the problem is there is no TSC mod for my version 5.49.7

I tried searching the forum but can't really find an answer / somebody else having the same problem. I read some things about 'downgrading toon' but I'm not exactly sure if thats the right way?

I hope anybody understands something and can help me out. I do have some experience with linux / raspberry pi / networking etc so only some highlevel tips and tricks could help.

Again thanks already for taking the time to help me out.

This version was not yet available for rooted toons indeed. I just checked and it seems that 5.49.7 is only available for a few official toons right now. But I just created the resource file for it so please try again, should work now.

Thats a fast reply! Thank you!

I just tried it and it is working now for me!

Can I buy you a beer somewhere? or any other way to help out?

Hy al! I am the proud owner of a rooted Toon2, thanks for all the hard work!

However...I friend of mine has a Toon 1 with firmware 5.24.100.
According to the docs you can only root such with a serial device (wich i don't have).
So what are my options to root a Toon1 without a serial cable?

These versions are talking directly to a online server instead of over vpn. And we need the vpn communication to get the software rooting to work.
You might be lucky if you disable any internet on this toon for a while. At least a week. And then try the software rooting trick. That should invalidate the stored access key to the online server and then it needs vpn again to try to update that.

Hi all,

So I'm trying to root a Toon2 based on the github rep https://github.com/ToonSoftwareCollective/Root-A-Toon
Following the instructions to prepare a RaspberryPi3 (and also tried 4b) gives me no luck.

I follow the instructions as mentioned in the readme file based on https://www.raspberrypi.com/documentati ... ess-point .
All of the installation progress goes well, for lets say 3 minutes or so.
After 3 minutes I'm still connected to the wlan0 interface of the Rpi but I don't have any internet access anymore.
I use eth0 as connection to my normal LAN network.

My eth0 is fixed ip on 192.168.0.209
I fixed the ip on wlan0 (with dhcp) on 192.168.4.1 with dhcp range from 192.168.4.2 until 192.168.4.20 with 255.255.255.0 lease time 12hours.
Toon2 gets an IP-address but fails on internet connection.

Does anybody have an idea on how to fix this?
Or maybe an other instruction or automated script?

Thanks!

Ok, so I installed Rpi NetworkManager instead, this seems to be working.
Toon2 is now connected en stays connected.
When running the script I get this as result:

Code: Select all

After this there is some more code which displayes the schedule.

When I try with payload I get this:
