The most popular Google TV: Sony Google TV is now rooted.

Sony GTV can be rooted with GTVHacker Sony Recovery Downgrader & Rebooter. This method allows you to Run Custom unsigned Kernel, custom ROMs on Google TV, post rooting.

The method is universal ands completely bypasses the signatures normally used by the system: bootloader, kernel, and init binary.  This hack offers following features:

  • Modified flash plugin with random per box flash string for Content Provider Bypass.
  • Crippled update feature to prevent box from receiving automatic updates.
  • Completely RW system, cache, and rootfs partitions
  • Full ADB Root (for developers)
  • Removed signature checks on kernel / init scripts / init binary
  • BETA: Enable NTFS Support for Sony Google TV devices

This update requires 4 USB sticks (512Mb+) and is a 100% softmod (No soldering required!).

Notes, Important considerations for Sony GTV Root

  • This voids your warranty with Sony.
  • 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!
  • You must be at the most recent 3.2 OTA (Over The Air) before proceeding!
