Hello.

I have a big problem.

I connected to my TV (PFH5500) via ADB and did ADB reboot bootloader.

Now my TV is stuck on Philips logo.

I did nothing else but reboot to bootloader, no other commands.

Unplugging power did not help. :(

How to fix this?

Unplug power and keep unplugged for two hours.
[Philips, Sony, TCL Android TV] radkor:
OK, I'll try, but how this can help?

Is it difference between being unplugged for 5 mins or 2 hours?

[Philips, Sony, TCL Android TV] ondrejvaroscak:
Yes, a circuit that remembers what should be booted by bootloader can be powered by a capacitor and for proper discharge you may need to wait. Alternatively try push and hold Up or Down button on TV "joystick" while powering on.
[Philips, Sony, TCL Android TV] radkor:
Tried powering on with joustick up or down. Nothing changed..

I see on my router that TV is receiving/sending data over ethernet port.

Is there a way to connect to TV directly from my PC via ADB or Telnet and issue a reboot command?

hello,

I have problem with newest update.

I've downloaded USB DRIVE.rar, unpacked autorun.upg on usb drive and tv automatically found it and wanted to update. I confirmed and after about 50% progress tv just rebooted, but I've found I am still on QV151E_000.005.038.028.

I've tried 4 times but still with the same result. What can be wrong?

btw. My tv is 49PUS7150/12
[Philips, Sony, TCL Android TV] ondrejvaroscak:

I returned TV and exchanged for the same model.

So: DO NOT USE ADB reboot bootloader or else you will soft brick your TV!

PS. I was on newest firmware that was currently removed from Philips site.

Firmware upgrade problem

Hello, how to change the software in my 55puh6400 / 88 version of Somebody to be released on March 31?

I currently have the software version downloaded QM152E.0.5.210.0 18 March, 30 March, the support appeared the software version QM152E.0.5.101.54 but can not update it because the tv shows command that this version is older than the current.

I care about this change because the current version of the software I have a lot of errors (stutters picture and makes black when watching channels from DVB-T, often gets half-second break in the sound, throws me applications (mainly KODI), slowed down applications).

Please help
[Philips, Sony, TCL Android TV] zeusproduct:
Install apk without root on 6400 last firmware QM152E

If you want to install apk android it's possible without root.

You must prepare your TV : clic seven times on build to have Developpment Profil : now you can active source Unknown and you can see an profil developpment to active "debuggage".

After go to your PC machine to playstore : find total commander to install to your Philips (me : "No Carrier Philips QM152E (the last firmware)".

Download on playstore all the app all you want but now, here on your phone, for me Galaxy A7.

Wiht ANdroid APP "APP Extractor", extract in the directory all the apps that you want

COPY the apps on the usb Key and install them with total commander. No PB it's ok

i dont know if this will help the root effort for the 6400 or not, but I just downgraded from the 210.0 firmware to the latest one listed on philips site (.054) and I still have adb access!!

Maybe there is a firmware version i can downgrade to that kingroot will work on??
[Philips, Sony, TCL Android TV] nordicfastware:
Hi All,

Root is great

1. Is there a way we can get custom kernels including potential overclocking ?

2. and eventually when MarshMallow Android TV comes out, and Philips does not upgrade our 2015 LP TVs, will it be possible to have ports with custom firmware (Less likely i would say) ?

I have a 55PUS7600, which I find great picturewise, although it has been fixed and opened 3 times (!!) by Philips service guys coming over to replace the power supply, the main CPU board and the main CPU board again due to power failure first and then ambilight broken. Pretty good service anyway. I must say now that the whole thing works much better ( in particular much better remote reception and re-activity). The technician did not know if the hardware had been improved to fix some of the known issues with this TV series.

Hello,

I could not resist the temptation and I installed the new firmware as an update of the old one without doing a factory default and all seems to work well ...

Only fault after installing firefox and chorme not see them in the home, but only in managing applications ...

It also happens to you?

I do a factory default?

Bye ...
[Philips, Sony, TCL Android TV] -chrizz-:
Here is my expirience with the (for now) unofficial Firmware with my 49pus7170

Everything is working fine and everything feels faster. Unknown sources is avaiable!

I wasnt afraid to update only thing i did was backing up Sender List. Copied the file to usb and after starting tv i plugged the usb stick in and tv found the update, flashed without a Problem. If a Problem occures you are able to boot recovery Mode and flash official current Firmware.

Regards chrizz

Certain applications will not be automatically listed in Leanback Launcher after installation. I think it is a bug in the current version, as it was OK in versions from last year.

For now, to solve this, simply install third party launcher, for example TV Launcher...
[Philips, Sony, TCL Android TV] m4nu4l:
Greetings, i would like to ask for help on how to correctly install Google Live Channels app.

Since last software update my Philips androidTV (32PFT5500/12) allows installs from unknown sources (finaly), so i gone ahead and tried to install Google Live Channels apk, since it is not available for my device in Play store, and i couldnt install it, all it said is (app was not installed), so i guess the problem was that Google Live Channels was already pre installed in my tv, and philips somehow tinkered with it that i would not be able to update it, nor to be able to launch it.

So my question would be, without gaining root access, is there any possible way to install the Live Channels App to my TV, maybe somehow to create dublicate app that could be run alongsite the old live channels app or somehow like that ?

Sorry for long post, i hope you understood my poor english
[Philips, Sony, TCL Android TV] nasca2:
Thanks for the answer ...

I to be sure, I did a deafult factory but no differences ...

and I confirm that some app closures are listed (Aptoide TV) and others not (Chrome).

I will try TV Launcher.

However this developer release seems to me that it works well, stable and fast ...

It would take a remote control with mouse pointer and microphone ...

The remote controls of version 2014 perhaps had these features?

official philips update stil possible?

Hello there.

I have question regarding the update for my Philips 7100. When install this NOT official firmware is the option still open up to date to official firmware when it comes out?

Because when the official firmware update has the same name, checksum, etc. i dont think i will be able to update from this official firmware.

Are there experiences of rolling back to the older firmware?

Thanks in advance.
[Philips, Sony, TCL Android TV] ovso:
No worries here, you can roll back or upgrade to the latest firmware anytime from QV151E_R0.5.38.41. I've already tested it and also few people successfully did it, for example follow this post and its replies...
[Philips, Sony, TCL Android TV] fbergens1:
Thanks, good to hear that. I wil try to update now.
[Philips, Sony, TCL Android TV] ovso:
Live Channels app is deployed in the ROM as system app by TP Vision developers. Without root you can not uninstall it and therefore you can not replace it with current version from Google Play store. You need to wait till next firmware update and hope that they have already deployed it there or you need to wait until we find the way to root your type of TV...

[Philips, Sony, TCL Android TV] anders3408:
Yes settings app do call "su" somwhere. Here is the code which uses the su in CSMActivity:

public static void deleteFiles()

String str1 = "rm -r " + "/data/debugdump";
File localFile1 = new File("/data/debugdump");
File localFile2 = new File("/data/anr");
String str2 = "rm -r " + "/data/anr";
Runtime localRuntime = Runtime.getRuntime();
try
{
localRuntime.exec("su");
if (localFile1.exists())
localRuntime.exec(str1);
if (localFile2.exists())
localRuntime.exec(str2);
return;
}
catch (Exception localException)
{
localException.printStackTrace();

How exactly did you downgrade?

I had 210 firmware installed, but the TV was freezing in sleep and unable to boot, requiring to pull it out of the socket. So I reboot in recovery (through ADB) and flashed back .54 version, however since then I can't connect to adb anymore :(
[Philips, Sony, TCL Android TV] philicibine:
I think adb only worked for the first couple of reboots. I'm now stuck with no adb again. Although kingroot and the other apps I installed remain.

This is why I thought it might help rooting. Maybe update to 210 and install kingroot etc.. then downgrade to a very early firmware that's rootable??
[Philips, Sony, TCL Android TV] ondrejvaroscak:
I am sure that 6400 is unrootable by design. It can be maybe temporarily rooted, but you run into problems with dm-verity on system partition.
