Root TVPad3 Without USB
Hi all,
First of all, I am new to this forum and to the TVPad.
I got a TVPad3 from a friend that gave it to me to see if I could get it back to work. I found that the problem seems to be that TVPad "killed" models 1,2, and 3 after a lawsuit. My friend has decided to get a different IPTV device and for the moment I have kept the TVPad3 to play and experiment.
I found about the Phanto 2.1 app and installed it. I have it working, but I do need to make my own channels list, since almost none of the default channels are working. But that is another story, different questions, and post.
Right now I am working with rooting the TVPad3. I made the sh script method in a USB and it works (described in this post: https://tvpadtalk.ca/discussion/475/how-to-root-tvpad2-3). But if I take away the USB, then the root does not work. I get login (telnet is working), but the password set by the sh script does not work. I guess the /etc/passwd file is in some kind of write protect mode.
Is there any way of making this root method work after I unplug the USB? Maybe copying the gvos2-sdl file to the SD Card? Any other way?
Thanks in advance for any help here.
