A word of warning for those that own a 6400 series. Mine being a 50PUT6400/12.

After having some issues with restricted profile I was told I should factory reset.

The factory reset broke google play store. It now refuses to load, and means nothing will install or update. So even the apps that are pre-installed don't work because they need to be updated.

I am left with a dumb TV that doesn't do anything else and all Philips have said is it will be fixed "next update".

Not happy at all. This was on the latest firmware ending .054 released 8th Feb.

Do not factory reset until a newer firmware is released!!
[Philips, Sony, TCL Android TV] Peter Sz:
Hi philicibine. I had similar problems with my 32pfh5500/88 TV with latest update, but after clearing Google Play app data and restarting TV everything was back to normal.

Good luck!

There is new firmware on product support page:

QM152E_000.005.210.000 (Date published: 2016-03-17)

Hello there, I followed the guide step by step. At step 25 restarting of tv, can still not install non-market apps. 0.xml from step 23 is revised back by system. I have disabled auto-start of all google play related services. How can that be?
[Philips, Sony, TCL Android TV] ondrejvaroscak:
You can save yourself the time. There is NO WAY in the world how you can root this firmware, as it uses "Verified Boot" - aka. dm-verity. As a simple matter of fact, there is no root.

1 week ago, i buy the philips 40pfk5500/12 with android and i was angry, that i can't install own apks (or like skygo ;) ).

no i have read here, with the new firmware from the 18.3.2016, own apks could be installed. but the new firmware is only in danmark or english available. the german firmware ist from 8.2.16.

can i install the english firmware on the "german" tv (i choose german in the first steps, after put on the tv) oder should i wait a few days?

greeting

ralf

(sorry for my english....)
[Philips, Sony, TCL Android TV] ondrejvaroscak:
Yes, just download the ZIP, unpack the UPG file to USB stick and upgrade manually through Settings Menu. I have also "German" TV bough here in Saturn and the upgraded English version works ok.
[Philips, Sony, TCL Android TV] Blackys111:
nice, i trie it. and after the update, the language ist also german? have you apps, like skygo , installed after the update?
[Philips, Sony, TCL Android TV] ondrejvaroscak:
The language is free to choose, also in German. I installed the update just yesterday to have ADB (and it works), but did not try any apps from unknown sources yet, as I have barely time for it.

Mouse for philips TV PUS7100

Hi,

I have a Philips Pus7100.

Does someone managed to solve the mouse problem for this TV because I used different mouse (on wirless, bluetooth, with cable) but none work.
[Philips, Sony, TCL Android TV] ovso:
Your statement does not apply for Philips Android TV's with chassis QV15.1E LA . There will be always possibility to gain root access via "user 10" even when they re-set maximum amount of users to 1 in the future updates... You simply downgrade TV to rootable version of firmware and than upgrade to latest one. TV will remain rooted after update. I've already tried it on my 49PUS7150...

---------- Post added at 10:37 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:03 AM ----------

Connect to your TV via ADB shell from your PC. Than execute following command:

wm size 1920x1080

and restart TV.

If your Android system becomes slower and/or unstable execute following command from PC's ADB shell:

wm size reset

These commands should also work under Terminal Emulator on your TV, but it is safer to have an ADB connectivity from the PC as back-up in case you can not access Terminal Emulator after the change... Let us know if it works for you.

[Philips, Sony, TCL Android TV] ondrejvaroscak:
Can be that this chassis doesn't use dm-verity, but I more likely think that you mix up root for being able to ADB and install from unknown sources.. But of course I can be wrong.
[Philips, Sony, TCL Android TV] ovso:
By saying root I mean full administrative R/W access to the TV's Android components... You can read this thread on how to gain root privileges which so far is proven to work on chassis QV15.1E LA only, because TP Vision's developers forgot to set maximum number of supported users from 2 to 1...

KingRoot and SuperSU are not modifying and/or unlocking bootloader, so the dm-verity will pass every boot...

I am using rooted Philips Android TV over a month now and I am very happy with it...

Hello everyone.

I have problem. Maybe someone can help me. I can't turn on my tv with philips remote control after last update FW QM152E.0.5.210.0. I have to use little joystick at the back tv. But after this tv restarts several times before turns on. Then I can use my remote control. Before update everthing works fine.

I reinstalled tv and performed cold start after update.

My tv is 55PFT6550/12

Best regards

Perform re-pairing of your remote by doing the following:

> Remove batteries from the remote

> Press down all buttons in any random order

> Re-plug batteries and make sure the TV is turned on

> Press and hold the [RED] and [BLUE] teletext buttons on the remote

> A message should appear that the pairing have been successful.

really wanna root now. Have the latest firmware on my 6400 and adb is working. Unknown sources is enabled.

Can anyone give me any pointers from here??

You are very close to the root, be patient ;)

Once you have all needed APKs under "user 10" than disable following two system apps (Settings<gear button on remote>-All settings-General Settings-Android Settings-Apps-Systems Apps): Google Play Store (com.android.vending) and Google Play Services (com.google.android.gms).

Root is working :) I've used KingRoot 4.8.2 and it rooted TV within 20 seconds, than I replaced KingRoot by SuperSU, which is now deployed as system app and keeps root after restart.

You need to succeed with rooting under user 10 before you jump to user 0.

Make sure you run execute KingRoot directly from ES File Explorer not from Android UI.

If it still does not work, hide Google Play Store and Google Play Services by ADB commands from your PC:

pm hide com.android.vending, pm hide com.google.android.gms

Restart TV by ADB command: adb reboot and try rooting again... Do not unplug TV for the restart... When success repeat for user 0

You can unhide both Gaps afterwards by: pm unhide com.android.vending, pm unhide com.google.android.gms

Even though they were still there I tried to root with kingroot 4.8 + 4.8.1 and also 4.8.2. Once it rebooted but didn't have root and every other time it just failed.

I think they patched whatever exploit kingroot uses.

I can see you're trying hard to get there. I thought once you guys with QM152E will have ADB access you'll root your TV's... Not sure what to advice now. As you can see QV151E is rootable even in new firmware... Why would they patch your firmware and leave vulnerable ours... You did not mention if you did this under user 0 or user 10. It seems that it is easier to root user 10 than user 0 under certain circumstances...

Should this also work on the 7600 series? I have a 48PUS7600, but the TV doesn't recognize the autorun.upg as local update from USB.

Where did you put the files exactly? And do you also need the other files in the rar or just the upg file?
[Philips, Sony, TCL Android TV] ovso:
Your TV 48PUS7600 is based on chassis QV15.1E LA so answer is YES. Simply un-rar the UPG file to the root of USB stick and perform update either from the TV settings or from Androd System Recovery mode. If UPG file is not recognized by your TV, than make sure your USB is formatted in FAT32 or perform formatting via TV settings...
