Sony NSZ-GT1 (Bluray Player)

2012-05-14T21:40:26Z

Catrane: Change tear-down URL to point to a pre-spam version of the page.

{{Disclaimer}}
[[File:Sony_NSZ_GT1.jpg|250px|left|thumb]]
[[Category:Sony]]
This page will be dedicated to the hardware specifications, descriptions, and information related to the Sony NSZ-GT1 (Bluray Player).

== Specs ==
*Intel Atom CE4170 1.7 GHz processor, with a 200 MHz GPU<sup>1</sup>

== Tear Down ==
[http://www.magicandroidapps.com/wiki//index.php?title=GoogleTvTeardown&oldid=443 Sony NSZ-GT1 Google TV Teardown]

== Recovery Mode ==
Apeman42 from XDA Developers found [http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=812601 Recovery Menu]

#Have everything plugged into the unit except the power coord. Have the power coord in your hand.
#Press and hold the power button and plug the unit in.
#Continue to hold down the power button for 3 seconds after plugging it in, then release the power button.
#Wait a couple of seconds and it will say Sony, then you will see the recovery screen.
#After it loads, press and hold the connect button on the unit. Then follow the directions at the bottom of the screen (Press and hold ALT+ENTER) for 8 seconds/until the bottom message changes. It will change back to it saying that you have to press the CONNECT button, but your remote IS connected.
#You can now press the numbers assigned to the commands!

== USB Update ==
The steps to access recovery mode are listed in the "Recovery Menu" section above. Also, a list of OTA sony downloads can be found [http://gtvhacker.com/index.php/Sony_Update_Downloads#Download_Links Here]

In recovery mode, any USB storage device will be automounted when inserted. If it's inserted at the start of recovery mode, the device will attempt to do a USB update. This executes the following:
<pre>
cmd:ls /tmp/mnt/diskb1/package_list_*.zip | head -1 | grep "package_list_"
cmd:/bin/sony/check_version.sh /tmp/mnt/diskb1/package_list_0.zip
</pre>

For a USB update to succeed, the following are necessary (but not sufficient):
# there must be a file matching /package_list_*.zip or else you get the error "find package error: no such a package !"
# the zip must contain a file "system/build.prop" or else you get the error "caution: filename not matched: system/build.prop"
# the zip must contain a file matching "package_list_*.txt" or else you get the error "caution: filename not matched: package_list_*.txt"
# The system/build.prop must have an ro.build.id that is greater than the current values. Otherwise you get an onscreen message saying "USB data is old".
# At '''this''' point, the signature is checked:
<pre>
package update start !
cmd:/package_update.sh -y -l 0 -p /tmp/mnt/diskb1/package_list_ogm_2.1_2011_asu1
(*) Direct/Interface: Loaded 'PNG' implementation of 'IDirectFBImageProvider'.
dtv_sym_tv_updating.png = w: 1920, h: 1080.
Verifying..
Error in main(47):Footer Error
Signing Verify Error
Error!!
</pre>

If a valid-looking zipfile on a USB storage device is plugged in when the system goes through a normal boot, it will abort and reboot into the recovery mode.

Patchloader

2012-03-17T03:00:14Z

Catrane: So the sh in busybox is extremely incompatible with DOS CRLF. That sucks. Rework the script a bunch to not use temp files and actually work with DOS CRLF. Tested in both dos and unix formats.

Patchloader framework for packaging solutions for end-user install on GTV. Intended to make solutions approachable and installs automatic.

This page is only of use to developers. End-users need not worry about trying to figure out if this will do anything for them.
An example of a deployed patchloader is here: [[Eject Bug Hack]]

<pre>#!/bin/sh
busybox tr -d '\r' <$0 | busybox sed '1,/^PATCHLOADER BEGIN$/ d; s|PATCHLOADER_SCRIPT=.*|PATCHLOADER_SCRIPT='$0'|' | /bin/sh 2>&1 | busybox tr -d '\r' | busybox sed '/^ *$/ d' # Keep comment here.
exit # Do not change or delete these first two lines or their comments, or DOS breaks.

# patchloader, by Catrane
#
# DEVELOPER INSTRUCTIONS
# -----------------
# Search for these sections below:
# PRE PATCH, PATCH PAYLOAD, PATCH MD5, POST PATCH, and USER INSTRUCTIONS.
# Follow directions in each section.
# Do not modify any other sections.

# NECESSARY LINE
# -----------------
# Don't move or delete this line. The second line of the file needs it.
PATCHLOADER BEGIN

# PRE PATCH
# -----------------
# Add any commands below which should be run prior to applying the patch.

# END PRE PATCH
# -----------------

# PATCH MD5
# -----------------
# Calculate the MD5 hash of the patch file and set here for validation.
# The easiest way to get the right value is to run the script with "GARBAGE" as
# the MD5 below and let it tell you the right value.
PATCH_MD5="GARBAGE" # PATCH_MD5="f7be3e1337c0d37b2850fabed5469d34 -"

# MD5 VALIDATION
# -----------------
PATCHLOADER_SCRIPT=$0
extractPatch ()
{
busybox tr -d '\r' <$PATCHLOADER_SCRIPT | busybox sed '1,/^PATCHLOADER PAYLOAD START$/ d; /^PATCHLOADER PAYLOAD END$/,$ d'
}
MD5_CALC="`extractPatch | busybox md5sum`"
if [ "$PATCH_MD5" != "$MD5_CALC" ]
then
if [ "GARBAGE" != "$PATCH_MD5" ]
then
echo "FATAL: Failure to validate patch integrity. Please redownload and try again."
else
echo "patchloader MD5 hash is as follows. Users should not see this message."
echo "$MD5_CALC"
echo "A copy of your extracted patch is located at /tmp/extract.patch for verification."
extractPatch > /tmp/extract.patch
fi
exit
fi

# PATCH APPLICATION
# -----------------
extractPatch | busybox patch -p1
if [ "$?" != "0" ]
then
echo "FATAL: Error patching. Please redownload and try again."
exit
fi

# POST PATCH
# -----------------
# Add any commands below which should be run prior to applying the patch.
# Include here any instructions for user to reboot if necessary.

# END POST PATCH
# -----------------

# USER INSTRUCTIONS
# -----------------
# The patch developer should move these instructions to directly above the
# "DEVELOPER INSTRUCTIONS" line atop this file, deleting these three
# developer instructions lines.
# 1) Save the full contents of this patchloader file to your computer. This may
# involve copying and pasting, or just downloading.
# 2) Connect to your device using adb. adb usage is outside the scope of this
# document.
# 3) Transfer this patchloader file to your device via adb so that it exists as
# /patchloader.sh on your device.
# e.g. adb push patchloader.sh /tmp/patchloader.sh
# 4) Execute the patchloader by running the following command via adb.
# adb shell /bin/sh /tmp/patchloader.sh
# 5) Follow any instructions printed out by the patchloader.

# END OF SCRIPT. DO NOT MOVE OR REMOVE
# -----------------
exit

# PATCH PAYLOAD
# -----------------
# Add patch content after the "PATCHLOADER PAYLOAD START" line here.
PATCHLOADER PAYLOAD START
<delete this line and insert payload here>
PATCHLOADER PAYLOAD END

Sony Settings Menus

2012-03-07T20:41:33Z

Catrane: Add document to detail settings menu structures and any undocumented notes on settings.

I've rooted... now what?!

2012-03-07T14:16:50Z

Catrane: /* Installing X86 Superuser.apk */ typo. not -> note

A list of apps and things to do

==Make CBS, hulu, etc work==
You will need to change your useragent in Chrome.
* Bring up the browser menu, then go to “more”, and then “settings”. From there go to “advanced” and then “mode”, and finally change the user agent. (Thanks to [http://www.gtvhub.com/2010/11/11/user-agent-fix-unblocks-fox-on-google-tv-for-now/ GTVHub].)
* Once there, you have two choices
** Copy or type in a useragent. It's best to use a real one; you can find one by going to http://whatsmyuseragent.com/ from a normal computer. Going there on your GTV will show the current user agent on the device.
** An alternative is to use the "Generic" user agent, instead of typing in a custom one. As of 3/5/2012, Hulu can be accessed when using the "Generic" user agent in combination with the GTVHacker root.

==Installing X86 Superuser.apk==
#Download the x86 version of [http://dl.dropbox.com/u/16800443/Superuser-3.0.7-efghi-x86.zip Superuser.apk]
#Extract the downloaded .zip file to a folder on your computer, making note of where you've extracted it for the following 2 steps.
#Upload Superuser.apk to the googletv /system/app/ directory with the following command substituting the first argument "system/app/Superuser.apk" with the correct location.
#:<code>adb push system/app/Superuser.apk /system/app/Superuser.apk</code>
#Upload the su binary to the googletv /system/bin/ directory with the following command substituting the first arugment "system/bin/su" with the correct location.
#:<code>adb push system/bin/su /system/bin/su</code>
#Use the following command to add the correct permissions to the su binary on the device
#:<code>adb shell chmod 6755 /system/bin/su</code>
#Reboot the box
#:<code>adb shell reboot</code>

==Apps that are available now==
[http://market.android.com/details?id=ccc71.pmw free terminal emulator] This app has other features, and not all of them work on GTV. Note that pressing enter in the emulator will not execute a line; in fact, doing so will confuse busybox. Press the button instead.

[http://market.android.com/details?id=com.fede.launcher LauncherPro] a few features don't work

==Apps that need work before they are available on GTV==
[http://market.android.com/details?id=jackpal.androidterm android terminal emulator] - '''not available for GTV yet''' due to [http://github.com/jackpal/Android-Terminal-Emulator/issues/46 issue #46]

Sony GTV Troubleshooting

2012-03-07T01:40:32Z

Catrane: Add Sony troubleshooting page.

A list of problems and solutions

==NSZ-GT1 won't play 3D Blu-ray discs in 3D==
Possible causes of this problem and their solutions:
* Sony introduced 3D support in the 2012.01.26 update. Check your software version in Settings -> About to make sure that you have 2012.01.26 or later. If you have an older version of the software, you can update it by checking for updates in the menu or by downloading the appropriate update from [[Sony Update Downloads]] and installing it.
* 3D will not work if your display resolution is not set to Auto or if you have 3D set to Off. In the Settings -> Picture set both of these to Auto in the respective submenus.
* Of course, if your TV doesn't support 3D you won't have 3D.

Sony Unsigned Kernels (SW Root)

2012-03-06T23:43:00Z

Catrane: /* Downgrade/Rebooter Process */ Danger, Will Robinson! Give warning about how important USB3 is.

[[Category:Sony NSX-40GT1]]
[[Category:Sony]]

[[File:Sony.png|frameless|caption]]

== About ==

The methods we use are completely reversible by entering the recovery menu and performing a USB update as described on the GTVHacker wiki page for each device. Below is a link to a more detailed guide on how the recovery downgrade and loading of the new jail broken kernel works.
[[About Sony Downgrade + Rebooter (Root)]]

== Warnings ==
* This will definitely void your warranty with Sony, if you want to keep your warranty please do not do any of the steps in this guide.
* This will wipe your data partition removing all apps, personal settings and resetting the GTV to factory settings.
* This may brick your GTV. It shouldn't, but it still might!
* This will erase all data on the USB drive(s) used.
* '''You must be at the 2012.01.26 GTV 3.2 OTA (Over The Air) before proceeding!'''
* This is an advanced procedure and is far outside of normal computer use and designed function for the GTV. Typos and other mistakes can and will irreversibly destroy your Google TV, USB drives, computer, data, and other hardware. Nobody will make it through this process on intuition, because this procedure plays tricks on the software, so read the instructions very carefully. If you find yourself having trouble, you may want to think long and hard before taking these risks. If you have questions, the GTV Hacker community of volunteer individuals may be glad to welcome you and answer them; but we aren't a company or organization and can't perform miracles if you break something.

== Tools Needed ==

* 4 (512MB+) USB drives total
* Sony NSZ-GT1 (Eagle) or Sony 24",32",40",46" GoogleTV (Asura)

=== Pre-Pre-setup ===

Disconnect your GTV from the internet!
# There are newer software versions that the procedure below won't work on. If you want to use this procedure, play it safe and make sure your Google TV cannot connect to the internet until after you have completed all of the instructions below.
# Tell your family, roommates, spouse, etc not to reconnect it.

Check your software version to make sure you are on a version that can use this procedure
# Go to Settings -> About on your Google TV
# Look for version 20120126 or earlier. Version 20120222 and later have been patched and will not work.
# If your version is earlier than 20120126 download the correct 20120126 (Android 3.2 - Exploitable) version from [[Sony Update Downloads]] and use a USB drive to install it before proceeding with this procedure. (Eagle is the BluRay player, Asura is the TV)

=== Windows Pre-setup ===

# Label 4 thumb drives with the numbers 1 2 3 and 4.
# Open the a Windows command prompt (Windows key+R) or Start->Run->cmd then press enter.
# Navigate to the directory that the files in this archive are placed. (A small tutorial can be found at [http://www.sophos.com/support/knowledgebase/article/13195.html Tutorial])
# Rename the USB1-Asura.img or USB1-Eagle.img file depending on which device you have (Eagle = Blu-ray Player & Asura = Sony GoogleTV Panel) to USB1.img.
# Navigate into the Tools/ directory.
# Plug USB drive #1 in and then enter the following command into the command line:
#:<code> dd.exe --list</code>
# Find the matching volume information for the inserted USB drive. This can be done easiest by matching the drive letter for the USB drive in "My Computer" to the corresponding "\\.\e:" (assuming the drive letter is e:). You will want to get this right, since the following steps will destroy any data on the drive you point it at. The format of the list should have the same syntax as the following:
#:<code>\\.\Volume{046ee4df-3db8-11e1-836e-000c29b70b00}\
#: link to \\?\Device\Harddisk1\DP(1)0-0+11
#: removeable media
#: Mounted on \\.\e:</code>
# Using the above example the information we are looking for is the top line "\\.\Volume{046ee4df-3db8-11e1-836e-000c29b70b00}\", we will want to remove the ending backslash and enter it into the following command syntax:
#:<code>Syntax: dd if=USB#.img of=<volumeinfofromabove> bs=4096
#: Eagle Example: dd if=../USB1.img of=\\.\Volume{046ee4df-3db8-11e1-836e-000c29b70b00} bs=4096
#: Asura Example: dd if=../USB1.img of=\\.\Volume{046ee4df-3db8-11e1-836e-000c29b70b00} bs=4096</code>
# A successful completion would look as follows:
#:<code>rawwrite dd for windows version 0.5.
#: Written by John Newbigin <jn@it.swin.edu.au>
#: This program is covered by the GPL. See copying.txt for details
#: 10240+0 records in
#: 10240+0 records out</code>
# Repeat steps 6-9 substituting the correct volume info (of=) and USB#.img (if) until you have 4 usb's flashed with the corresponding USB1.img USB2.img USB3.img and USB4.img.
# Optionally, consider verifying that these steps worked by following the "USB Drive Validation" steps below.
# You are ready to start the downgrage + root.

=== Mac Pre-Setup ===

# Connect your USB Stick and open "Disk Utility" app.
# Open a terminal window and type the following command:
#:<code> diskutil list</code>
# Make note of which disk corresponds to your USB stick.
#:<code> ex: dev/disk1</code>
# View previously opened "Disk Utility" app and and select/highlight your thumb drives partition.
# Click the "unmount" button at the top of the "Disk Utility" window.
# In the terminal window type the following command replacing the "/dev/disk1" with the disk name obtained from step 3 and the USB#.img with the location of the .img file you are going to flash:
#:<code> Syntax: dd if=USB#.img of=/dev/disk1 bs=4096</code>
#:<code> Example: dd if=/Users/usernamehere/Desktop/USB1.img of=/dev/disk1 bs=4096</code>
# Press enter, when command is complete, repeat steps 2-6 until you have created all 4 USB drives.
# Optionally, consider verifying that these steps worked by following the "USB Drive Validation" steps below.
# You are ready to start the downgrage + root.

=== Linux Pre-Setup ===

# Label 4 thumb drives with the numbers 1 2 3 and 4.
# Open a linux terminal.
# Plug in USB 1.
# Navigate to the directory the .img files are stored and rename the USB1-Asura.img or USB1-Eagle.img file depending on the device you have (Eagle = Blu-ray Player & Asura = Sony GoogleTV Panel) to USB1.img.
# Determine which device is your USB thumbdrive by using the command "dmesg" and looking for the last set of output with sdc/sdb/sdd/etc.
# Verify that the device is correct by matching the device name to the appropriate mount point in the following command:
#:<code>"cat /proc/mounts"</code>
# If you believe you have the correct device then use the following command syntax for dd:
#:<code>Syntax: dd if=USB#.img of=<volumeinfofromabove> bs=4096
#: Eagle Example: dd if=../USB1.img of=/dev/sdc bs=4096
#: Asura Example: dd if=../USB1.img of=/dev/sdc bs=4096</code>
# Repeat steps 3-7 until you have 4 USBs flashed with the corresponding USB1.img USB2.img USB3.img and USB4.img.
# Optionally, consider verifying that these steps worked by following the "USB Drive Validation" steps below.
# You are ready to start the downgrage + root.

=== USB Drive Validation ===

To validate data written to the USB drives, and verify that it will read back off the drive correctly, follow these instructions. We think they may reduce the chance that your Google TV won't work at all after the Downgrader/Reboot process.
# Read data off each of your USB drives by running the same dd/dd.exe command but swap the "if" and "of" and change USB1.img/USB2.img/USB3.img/USB4.img to test1.img/test2.img/test3.img/test4.img. Also, make sure "bs=4096" is still there, and add "count=1280" for USB1/USB2 or "count=19200" for USB3/USB4.
# Calculate the MD5 hash (md5sum) of each of test1.img through test4.img. (It looks like here's one for Windows, but we haven't tested it: http://www.pc-tools.net/win32/md5sums/)
# MD5 hash values should be as listed here (upper or lower case letters are fine):
#: USB1 (Eagle): d6a82c60d70b3ecdb8e436ef44043e4c
#: USB1 (Asura): f34e34f4d6bed978ed3d0e1afe596b99

Sony Unsigned Kernels (SW Root)

2012-03-06T23:29:12Z

Catrane: /* Tools Needed */ Add instructions for verifying the USBs via re-read and md5 in an attempt to reduce bricks.

[[File:Sony.png|frameless|caption]]

== About ==

The methods we use are completely reversible by entering the recovery menu and performing a USB update as described on the GTVHacker wiki page for each device. Below is a link to a more detailed guide on how the recovery downgrade and loading of the new jail broken kernel works.
[[About Sony Downgrade + Rebooter (Root)]]

== Warnings ==
* This will definitely void your warranty with Sony, if you want to keep your warranty please do not do any of the steps in this guide.
* This will wipe your data partition removing all apps, personal settings and resetting the GTV to factory settings.
* This may brick your GTV. It shouldn't, but it still might!
* This will erase all data on the USB drive(s) used.
* '''You must be at the 2012.01.26 GTV 3.2 OTA (Over The Air) before proceeding!'''
* This is an advanced procedure and is far outside of normal computer use and designed function for the GTV. Typos and other mistakes can and will irreversibly destroy your Google TV, USB drives, computer, data, and other hardware. Nobody will make it through this process on intuition, because this procedure plays tricks on the software, so read the instructions very carefully. If you find yourself having trouble, you may want to think long and hard before taking these risks. If you have questions, the GTV Hacker community of volunteer individuals may be glad to welcome you and answer them; but we aren't a company or organization and can't perform miracles if you break something.

== Tools Needed ==

* 4 (512MB+) USB drives total
* Sony NSZ-GT1 (Eagle) or Sony 24",32",40",46" GoogleTV (Asura)

=== Pre-Pre-setup ===

Disconnect your GTV from the internet!
# There are newer software versions that the procedure below won't work on. If you want to use this procedure, play it safe and make sure your Google TV cannot connect to the internet until after you have completed all of the instructions below.
# Tell your family, roommates, spouse, etc not to reconnect it.

Check your software version to make sure you are on a version that can use this procedure
# Go to Settings -> About on your Google TV
# Look for version 20120126 or earlier. Version 20120222 and later have been patched and will not work.
# If your version is earlier than 20120126 download the correct 20120126 (Android 3.2 - Exploitable) version from [[Sony Update Downloads]] and use a USB drive to install it before proceeding with this procedure. (Eagle is the BluRay player, Asura is the TV)

=== Windows Pre-setup ===

# Label 4 thumb drives with the numbers 1 2 3 and 4.
# Open the a Windows command prompt (Windows key+R) or Start->Run->cmd then press enter.
# Navigate to the directory that the files in this archive are placed. (A small tutorial can be found at [http://www.sophos.com/support/knowledgebase/article/13195.html Tutorial])
# Rename the USB1-Asura.img or USB1-Eagle.img file depending on which device you have (Eagle = Blu-ray Player & Asura = Sony GoogleTV Panel) to USB1.img.
# Navigate into the Tools/ directory.
# Plug USB drive #1 in and then enter the following command into the command line:
#:<code> dd.exe --list</code>
# Find the matching volume information for the inserted USB drive. This can be done easiest by matching the drive letter for the USB drive in "My Computer" to the corresponding "\\.\e:" (assuming the drive letter is e:). You will want to get this right, since the following steps will destroy any data on the drive you point it at. The format of the list should have the same syntax as the following:
#:<code>\\.\Volume{046ee4df-3db8-11e1-836e-000c29b70b00}\
#: link to \\?\Device\Harddisk1\DP(1)0-0+11
#: removeable media
#: Mounted on \\.\e:</code>
# Using the above example the information we are looking for is the top line "\\.\Volume{046ee4df-3db8-11e1-836e-000c29b70b00}\", we will want to remove the ending backslash and enter it into the following command syntax:
#:<code>Syntax: dd if=USB#.img of=<volumeinfofromabove> bs=4096
#: Eagle Example: dd if=../USB1.img of=\\.\Volume{046ee4df-3db8-11e1-836e-000c29b70b00} bs=4096
#: Asura Example: dd if=../USB1.img of=\\.\Volume{046ee4df-3db8-11e1-836e-000c29b70b00} bs=4096</code>
# A successful completion would look as follows:
#:<code>rawwrite dd for windows version 0.5.
#: Written by John Newbigin <jn@it.swin.edu.au>
#: This program is covered by the GPL. See copying.txt for details
#: 10240+0 records in
#: 10240+0 records out</code>
# Repeat steps 6-9 substituting the correct volume info (of=) and USB#.img (if) until you have 4 usb's flashed with the corresponding USB1.img USB2.img USB3.img and USB4.img.
# Optionally, consider verifying that these steps worked by following the "USB Drive Validation" steps below.
# You are ready to start the downgrage + root.

=== Mac Pre-Setup ===

# Connect your USB Stick and open "Disk Utility" app.
# Open a terminal window and type the following command:
#:<code> diskutil list</code>
# Make note of which disk corresponds to your USB stick.
#:<code> ex: dev/disk1</code>
# View previously opened "Disk Utility" app and and select/highlight your thumb drives partition.
# Click the "unmount" button at the top of the "Disk Utility" window.
# In the terminal window type the following command replacing the "/dev/disk1" with the disk name obtained from step 3 and the USB#.img with the location of the .img file you are going to flash:
#:<code> Syntax: dd if=USB#.img of=/dev/disk1 bs=4096</code>
#:<code> Example: dd if=/Users/usernamehere/Desktop/USB1.img of=/dev/disk1 bs=4096</code>
# Press enter, when command is complete, repeat steps 2-6 until you have created all 4 USB drives.
# Optionally, consider verifying that these steps worked by following the "USB Drive Validation" steps below.
# You are ready to start the downgrage + root.

=== Linux Pre-Setup ===

# Label 4 thumb drives with the numbers 1 2 3 and 4.
# Open a linux terminal.
# Plug in USB 1.
# Navigate to the directory the .img files are stored and rename the USB1-Asura.img or USB1-Eagle.img file depending on the device you have (Eagle = Blu-ray Player & Asura = Sony GoogleTV Panel) to USB1.img.
# Determine which device is your USB thumbdrive by using the command "dmesg" and looking for the last set of output with sdc/sdb/sdd/etc.
# Verify that the device is correct by matching the device name to the appropriate mount point in the following command:
#:<code>"cat /proc/mounts"</code>
# If you believe you have the correct device then use the following command syntax for dd:
#:<code>Syntax: dd if=USB#.img of=<volumeinfofromabove> bs=4096
#: Eagle Example: dd if=../USB1.img of=/dev/sdc bs=4096
#: Asura Example: dd if=../USB1.img of=/dev/sdc bs=4096</code>
# Repeat steps 3-7 until you have 4 USBs flashed with the corresponding USB1.img USB2.img USB3.img and USB4.img.
# Optionally, consider verifying that these steps worked by following the "USB Drive Validation" steps below.
# You are ready to start the downgrage + root.

=== USB Drive Validation ===

To validate data written to the USB drives, and verify that it will read back off the drive correctly, follow these instructions. We think they may reduce the chance that your Google TV won't work at all after the Downgrader/Reboot process.
# Read data off each of your USB drives by running the same dd/dd.exe command but swap the "if" and "of" and change USB1.img/USB2.img/USB3.img/USB4.img to test1.img/test2.img/test3.img/test4.img. Also, make sure "bs=4096" is still there, and add "count=1280" for USB1/USB2 or "count=19200" for USB3/USB4.
# Calculate the MD5 hash (md5sum) of each of test1.img through test4.img. (It looks like here's one for Windows, but we haven't tested it: http://www.pc-tools.net/win32/md5sums/)
# MD5 hash values should be as listed here (upper or lower case letters are fine):
#: USB1 (Eagle): d6a82c60d70b3ecdb8e436ef44043e4c
#: USB1 (Asura): f34e34f4d6bed978ed3d0e1afe596b99
#: USB2: 4a491d61d836fdcd1f60dc6451f90965
#: USB3: ff71d6432a0076a7b818713f3a60eb09
#: USB4: 139ba91d8c01e927caced3eefa9fbd55

== Tools Needed ==

* 4 (512MB+) USB drives total
* Sony NSZ-GT1 (Eagle) or Sony 24",32",40",46" GoogleTV (Asura)

=== Pre-Pre-setup ===

Disconnect your GTV from the internet!
# There are newer software versions that the procedure below won't work on. If you want to use this procedure, play it safe and make sure your Google TV cannot connect to the internet until after you have completed all of the instructions below.
# Tell your family, roommates, spouse, etc not to reconnect it.

Check your software version to make sure you are on a version that can use this procedure
# Go to Settings -> About on your Google TV
# Look for version 20120126 or earlier. Version 20120222 and later have been patched and will not work.
# If your version is earlier than 20120126 download the correct 20120126 (Android 3.2 - Exploitable) version from [[Sony Update Downloads]] and use a USB drive to install it before proceeding with this procedure. (Eagle is the BluRay player, Asura is the TV)

=== Windows Pre-setup ===

# Label 4 thumb drives with the numbers 1 2 3 and 4.
# Open the a Windows command prompt (Windows key+R) or Start->Run->cmd then press enter.
# Navigate to the directory that the files in this archive are placed. (A small tutorial can be found at [http://www.sophos.com/support/knowledgebase/article/13195.html Tutorial])
# Rename the USB1-Asura.img or USB1-Eagle.img file depending on which device you have (Eagle = Blu-ray Player & Asura = Sony GoogleTV Panel) to USB1.img.
# Navigate into the Tools/ directory.
# Plug USB drive #1 in and then enter the following command into the command line:
#:<code> dd.exe --list</code>
# Find the matching volume information for the inserted USB drive. This can be done easiest by matching the drive letter for the USB drive in "My Computer" to the corresponding "\\.\e:" (assuming the drive letter is e:). You will want to get this right, since the following steps will destroy any data on the drive you point it at. The format of the list should have the same syntax as the following:
#:<code>\\.\Volume{046ee4df-3db8-11e1-836e-000c29b70b00}\
#: link to \\?\Device\Harddisk1\DP(1)0-0+11
#: removeable media
#: Mounted on \\.\e:</code>
# Using the above example the information we are looking for is the top line "\\.\Volume{046ee4df-3db8-11e1-836e-000c29b70b00}\", we will want to remove the ending backslash and enter it into the following command syntax:
#:<code>Syntax: dd if=USB#.img of=<volumeinfofromabove> bs=4096
#: Eagle Example: dd if=../USB1.img of=\\.\Volume{046ee4df-3db8-11e1-836e-000c29b70b00} bs=4096
#: Asura Example: dd if=../USB1.img of=\\.\Volume{046ee4df-3db8-11e1-836e-000c29b70b00} bs=4096</code>

#: This program is covered by the GPL. See copying.txt for details
#: 10240+0 records in
#: 10240+0 records out</code>
# Repeat steps 6-9 substituting the correct volume info (of=) and USB#.img (if) until you have 4 usb's flashed with the corresponding USB1.img USB2.img USB3.img and USB4.img.
# You are ready to start the downgrage + root.

=== Mac Pre-Setup ===

# Connect your USB Stick and open "Disk Utility" app.
# Open a terminal window and type the following command:
#:<code> diskutil list</code>
# Make note of which disk corresponds to your USB stick.
#:<code> ex: dev/disk1</code>
# View previously opened "Disk Utility" app and and select/highlight your thumb drives partition.
# Click the "unmount" button at the top of the "Disk Utility" window.
# In the terminal window type the following command replacing the "/dev/disk1" with the disk name obtained from step 3 and the USB#.img with the location of the .img file you are going to flash:
#:<code> Syntax: dd if=USB#.img of=/dev/disk1 bs=4096</code>
#:<code> Example: dd if=/Users/usernamehere/Desktop/USB1.img of=/dev/disk1 bs=4096</code>
# Press enter, when command is complete, repeat steps 2-6 until you have created all 4 USB drives.

=== Linux Pre-Setup ===

# Label 4 thumb drives with the numbers 1 2 3 and 4.
# Open a linux terminal.
# Plug in USB 1.
# Navigate to the directory the .img files are stored and rename the USB1-Asura.img or USB1-Eagle.img file depending on the device you have (Eagle = Blu-ray Player & Asura = Sony GoogleTV Panel) to USB1.img.
# Determine which device is your USB thumbdrive by using the command "dmesg" and looking for the last set of output with sdc/sdb/sdd/etc.
# Verify that the device is correct by matching the device name to the appropriate mount point in the following command:
#:<code>"cat /proc/mounts"</code>
# If you believe you have the correct device then use the following command syntax for dd:
#:<code>Syntax: dd if=USB#.img of=<volumeinfofromabove> bs=4096
#: Eagle Example: dd if=../USB1.img of=/dev/sdc bs=4096
#: Asura Example: dd if=../USB1.img of=/dev/sdc bs=4096</code>
# Repeat steps 3-7 until you have 4 USBs flashed with the corresponding USB1.img USB2.img USB3.img and USB4.img.

== Downgrade/Rebooter Process ==

# Boot Sony in recovery (hold power when plugging in).
# When the menu is displayed, insert "USB 1" and press 3 on the Sony keyboard.
# The device will ask if you want to [http://www.gtvhacker.com/index.php/File:Updateconfdg.jpg continue]. Remove "USB 1" and insert "USB 2". (Note: If the device does not ask you to continue, and instead displays "Update Data Error", try using a different brand of USB stick.)
# Wait 20 seconds for it to settle (no more blinking from USB) and then press 1.
# Wait another 20 seconds, The device should display an [http://www.gtvhacker.com/index.php/File:Updatedataerror.jpg error]. Now press 0.
# The device should be showing the main recovery menu again, remove "USB 2" and then reinsert "USB 1".
# Press 3 again. The device will ask if you want to continue, remove "USB 1" and insert "USB 3".
# Wait 20 seconds and then press 1. This will take longer (nearly a minute) but once done, it will [http://www.gtvhacker.com/index.php/File:Updatedataerror.jpg error].
# Press 0.
# Now unplug the box, and plug it back in while holding power. You should see the GTVHacker Sony splash, and you will now be in the old recovery.
# Insert "USB 4" and then press 3. The rebooter install will begin and will take 3-5 minutes. The Screen will read [http://www.gtvhacker.com/index.php/File:Systemupdatewithusb.jpg "System Update with USB checking for USB media mount status."]
# When the update is complete the screen will change to show [http://www.gtvhacker.com/index.php/File:Updateconfrb.jpg "Install Complete - Press 0 and then 0!"]. Press 0, and then 0 again.
# The update is now complete, reboot your box and you will be booted into a modified unsigned kernel!

Catrane: Add mediocre instructions for useragent.

A list of apps and things to do

==Make CBS, hulu, etc work==
You will need to change your useragent in Chrome. A good useragent to use is a real one. Do a Google search for "what is my userid" and you'll find a web site that will show you what the useragent of your computer is. Copy that for use on your GTV.

==Apps that are available now==
[http://market.android.com/details?id=ccc71.pmw free terminal emulator] This app has other features, and not all of them work on GTV.

[http://market.android.com/details?id=com.fede.launcher LauncherPro] a few features don't work

==Apps that need work before they are available on GTV==
[http://market.android.com/details?id=jackpal.androidterm android terminal emulator] - '''not available for GTV yet''' due to [http://github.com/jackpal/Android-Terminal-Emulator/issues/46 issue #46]
