After I started the downgrade, in step 5, I did not get an error but proceeded as if I did and followed the instructions and it all worked out. Once All was completed, I notices that the wireless network would not come up (kept searching) even after 12 minutes. I decided to hard-wire just to test and when I went to set up wireless later, my wifi signal was there. Also, the menu from the GTV did not show on my 1080p tv, so i connected it to another tv that had 480 and 720 so i could do the downgrade. ***VERY important!*** I did not see this in the instructions anywhere, I may have missed them, but when all was done, and I went to hulu, it STILL said it would not work on Google TV. I figured out that if you go into the chrome settings and change the window to "generic", it all worked perfect. I checked ABC, NBC, HULU, Epix, etc. All work great. Thanks. I'm donating now.


So my experience was very similar to this except chrome keeps crashing, when i got to any flash enabled site or when i enter advanced settings.
3. do i need to redo the downgrade?
1. how can i tell what kernel i have?
2. In the wiki, What step should i start from to just install the unsigned kernel?
edit: i re-did from step 7 which says insert usb1 press 3 remove usb1 insert usb3 and get error. Still chrome keeps crashing.

Sorry that no one has answered you, but no. The USB ports are for external storage. Besides finding an A-to-A USB cable would be difficult in retail hell.
These boxes use ADB over IP. There is a setting in Development under Applications in Settings. Just make sure Remote Debugging is checked. You will use the option "Debugger IP address" to config.


Thank you so much, I figured that out after buying a cable yesterday haha. I read on Google's android SDK site and managed to connect with ADB over IP and allowed non-market apps.


Do i need a crossover cable? or just standard?

I just wanted to give anyone a heads up that there is a rumor that Sony will be patching this tomorrow (Monday).

I suppose a crossover would work, but don't you already connect to a router? But I am thinking that you will need a dhcp server on your host PC. If you can, go the router path... that would probly be for the best.

Thanks for the heads-up! Glad I got mine done. Screw sony, but I admire them for the fast turn around... you gotta admit it's cool to be a thorn in a multi-national's side, huh you hackers extraordinaire? :twisted:

Just wanted to let you know that I did the hack and everything works great - flash even better than it did before. I get less error messages. I am not that comptuer literate but was able to do it without much problem. The only thing I wasnt sure if I had to input the drive letters in the command lines - you don't - you just have to get the volume labels correct.

Thanks again - this is great - I hope sony will not patch this - I think more people will buy this if it stays rootable.

Thank a bunch !

No cables required!

You must have the Android SDK on your computer.

Quick dirty tutorial:
1. On wifi, find the IP addresses for your computer and your GTV box.
2. On your GTV Box, go to settings>applicatons>development>debugger IP address and enter your computer's IP address.
3. Open a command line on your computer and type:

adb connect <ip address of your gtv box>

4. The cursor will change to # and you're connected by ADB.

If you don't know how to use ADB, Google a tutorial for the basic commands.

Thanks so much for creating this. Installed really easily.

Hulu works great now, however Amazon Prime Instant videos will no longer work. When I click the Play Now link on any Amazon Instant Video, nothing happens. All other links on the Amazon page works, except for any Instant video play link...

Is anyone else experiencing this?


Ouch. Amazon Prime is very important for me. If it indeed stops working after rooting, I won't do it. Can anyone else confirm or deny this? Thanks.

Crap. It appears that Amazon Prime isn't working for me either. When I click the "Watch Now" button, nothing happens. Will test more tomorrow.

haha... now ya post it! :) I just bumped my head until it came back to me. lol I believe I installed wayyy more of the SDK than I should have, but I've got an idea for an app that I might delve into, so no biggie.

and FYI if you just type "adb" from the cmd line w/out any commands, it pulls up the help file for all the switches. But dont type the quotes.

any1 gotten anywhere on SU w/ the modded x86 version? Haven't seen anyone report back yay or ney. I am looking to SU this panel asap and would love some feedback, or a howto, or a whatever ya got.

thanks,
rtv5k
