Rooting the Cecotec Conga
models 3090, 3290, 3390, 3490, 3590, 3690, 3790, 4090 & 5490

Good news for you: this particular model comes already rooted from factory (more or less). Here are the steps to get access to it and to make it permanent.

Requirements

A Conga, of course! (3x90, 4090 or 5490 model) and

Method 1: Via USB cable (recommended, easier):

  • a USB to microUSB cable
  • a computer with ADB installed

Method 2: SSH via WiFi network (-NOT- recommended):

  • A WiFi network with internet access (preferably a private one, as data flies-by unencrypted)
  • a computer with SSH installed
  • The Conga App:

Procedure

Method 1 - USB cable (recommended)

  1. Check that you have ADB tools installed and working in your computer (you can follow this guide)

  2. Connect the USB cable to the Conga's frontal USB port

  3. Open a terminal or console and execute the following command:

    PC:~ armando$ adb shell

    if you get a login prompt, type root as user

    password may vary depending on your model:

    • for 3090: 3irobotics1
    • for 3x90, 4090 & 5490: @3I#sc$RD%xm^2S&2

    if you already patched your Conga before, no login or password is required

Method 2 - SSH via WiFi network (-NOT- recommended)

  1. Check that you have SSH installed and working in your computer (Linux/MacOS by default, use Putty in Windows)

  2. You need to install the Conga App (see above which one) and connect your Conga to the Internet (following Cecotec's instructions). This is a bad idea as you're exposing your privacy... Unless you already did this before coming here, please, please, 🙏, use Method 1.

  3. You have to find out the IP address of your Conga (see this guide on how to)

  4. Open an ssh connection to your Conga (change the 192.168.x.x for your Conga's IP address):

    PC:~ armando$ ssh [email protected]

    and when you get the login prompt, type root and then the password depending on your model:

    • for 3090: 3irobotics1
    • for 3x90, 4090 & 5490: @3I#sc$RD%xm^2S&2

Finally

You should see something like this:

Things that you can do now

  • Change the password (to something non-default and secure 🙏)
  • Add certificates (ssh key-pair) to access via ssh without passwords
  • Sniff network traffic inside the Conga itself
  • Investigate all the stuff ... 😍
