Removing the softmod

In case you want to entirely remove the Disco4G softmod from your Disco and Skycontroller 2, follow the instructions below.

You need a PC for the removal. These instructions should work on the latest OS versions of Windows, macOS and GNU/Linux.

• Download .zip archive of the latest softmod scripts and binaries
• Unzip contents (the extraction process automatically creates a new folder "disco4g-master" or "disco4g-x.y", where by x.y is the release version number)
• Turn on your Disco.
• Ensure no device is plugged into Skycontroller 2 via USB cable.
• Turn on Skycontroller 2 and wait until it's connected to the Disco via Wi-Fi (green LED).
• Connect your PC's Wi-Fi to the Disco (e.g. DISCO-123456)
• Use an FTP tool (e.g. FileZilla) to upload the softmod to your Disco.
  • Connect via FTP to 192.168.42.1 (no username/password required)
  • You have to set the transfer type to Binary (not ASCII). In FileZilla under Edit → Settings... → Transfers → FTP: File Types → Default transfer type → change from Auto to Binary.
  • Transfer the "disco4g-master" or "disco4g-x.y" folder to the "/internal_000" folder on the Disco.
• On Disco firmware 1.7.0 and newer: Double press the Disco's power button to enable the telnet server.
• Open a Command Prompt (Windows)/Terminal (macOS/Linux) and Copy/Paste the following commands manually (line by line) to remove the softmod.
  • telnet 192.168.42.1 (If you are getting "command not found" or "... is not recognized as an internal or external command", please check this FAQ article first)
  • mv /data/ftp/internal_000/disco4g-* /tmp/disco4g
  • chmod +x /tmp/disco4g/*/*_uninstall.sh
  • /tmp/disco4g/disco/disco_uninstall.sh
  • /tmp/disco4g/skycontroller2/skycontroller2_uninstall.sh
  • reboot
• Restart your Disco and Skycontroller 2 manually now.
