[Philips, Sony, TCL Android TV] MrMagic:
Thanks. Turned out my TV didn't like the USB stick I was using. Was able to update using a different stick.

Already found one negative: Philips didn't fix the 5.1 audio issue with Netflix (i.e. 5.1 audio not possible over HDMI ARC to my receiver).
[Philips, Sony, TCL Android TV] ovso:
As far as I understand it, this firmware QV151E_R0.5.38.41 is only development edition and will never be released to public. Therefore we should wait until official release of the firmware and than complain :)
[Philips, Sony, TCL Android TV] NudStan:
I'm afraid to disappoint you, but is likely to support 4K Youtube application and will not appear. Specification processor 7 Series 2015, no support VP9 codec and 4K video in Youtube just use VP9 codec so chto4K in this application, you can not wait!

i dont care ;) youtube/kodi/mxplayer/google cast it is all i need ;)and all in 1080p now ! finally im 100% satysfied with this tv!!!
[Philips, Sony, TCL Android TV] anoop.ch:
I have a Philips '55PUT6800' 2015 Android TV and recently updated with the firmware of '55PUT6400' (QM152E), it worked! Everything (YouTube, Kodi etc) is on 1080p except Netflix, keeps on crashing within a min or so. I'd to change 'density' to 280, inorder to get video on Kodi, as I was not getting any video on '320', only workaround is to change the video playback option to 'Stretch 16:9'.

[MENTION=6995621]ovso[/MENTION], You're doing a great job and if you find any fix for Netflix or anything that I can root my TV, please do share and thanks in advance :)

Edit: I just reset the density and Netflix is working flawlessly! (Menu/Icons looks horrible though, have to live with it) Thanks

which terminal emulator you used? I tried Termux and Terminal Emulator for android both without lack on my 6400

That's respond from my 6400 anybody have any idea how to change resolution

https://drive.google.com/file/d/0Bw8kt9WZkXFwV0daSjB0Rmk4Slk/view?usp=docslist_api
[Philips, Sony, TCL Android TV] d00lar:
i used native sdk adb connect over IP
[Philips, Sony, TCL Android TV] ondrejvaroscak:
OK, I have 6400 TV and I think this one can't be rooted.

Also, dm-verity is monitoring bitmap changes in system partition, so that's why dm-verity protected Android is impossible to root without triggering dm-verity alarm. Based on implementation, user could choose to continue boot even if system is modified, own his own risk, or boot is disabled at all like on new Sony Xperia Z3+ and Z5 mobile phones.

The kernel features table on 6400 series TV states dm-verity as enabled, hence my thought that this particular TV is indeed unrootable.
[Philips, Sony, TCL Android TV] ovso:
Have a look to the root of your TV via ADB and view file "fstab.berlin.s1" . Looks like dm-verity is disabled on QV15.1E LA for folder /firmware but folder /system is waiting for verification. See picture below...

Is it the same on QM15.2E ?

hello i instaler New Firmware 0.5.38.41 on my philips 55pus7100 and I want to return to the Version 0.5.38.028 how to please
[Philips, Sony, TCL Android TV] x5starguerillaa:
Im sorry to take this away from current subject matter....... But does anyone else have issue with their 50 6400 just not turning on sometimes? Seems to be a lot worse since the last update?
[Philips, Sony, TCL Android TV] ondrejvaroscak:
Yes, what helped was booting into recovery and clearing cache.
[Philips, Sony, TCL Android TV] x5starguerillaa:
Cheers mate.

Will give that a go.
[Philips, Sony, TCL Android TV] pauliusmaja:
A bit off-topic here, but i hope you guys will help to figure out what happened to my 50PUT6400/12.

Installed Kodi, all worked fine.

Connected an external HDD, formatted it for app storage and recording.

Disconnected it after a while, only to find Kodi is no longer loading and displaying "waiting for external storage". Ok, my fault.

Uninstalled Kodi. Repeated installation was no longer allowed by the Play store, saying "Please connect a USB drive with sufficient storage".

After numerous tries and reboots, it finally let me install Kodi.

And that's when i saw a lot of strange behaviour - Kodi, youtube, and Google Cast all giving me black screen and no sound while playing media.

The Settings button on the remote is no longer responding - no way to access full menu.

Tv starts in Android environment, which is unusual. TV button on remote does not work.

Sources button does not work. No way to connect any external screen.

General settings>Reset TV does not work, only gives an eternally spinning screen.

Software update>Look for software finds an update, downloads it, but does not let me to push confirmation button :D

Software update>Local update does not detect USB in FAT,FAT32, nor NTFS with latest autorun.upg.

Pulling out of socket and reconnecting with the USB plugged in does not react automatically.

Recovery mode non existent, never actually managed to boot into it. No way to load autorun.upg or WipeDataTool.upg. :confused:

By the way, this TV already had its motherboard replaced by Philips dealership, after i updated over the internet to the 2016 Jan 22 update. Had a bootloop with no backlight and barely visible philips and android logos....

I consider myself to be quite literate in Android matters, but no device has made feel more helpless than this TV.

Sorry for the long post.
[Philips, Sony, TCL Android TV] philicibine:
If your on the latest firmware can you connect via adb and do a full reset from adb shell??
[Philips, Sony, TCL Android TV] pauliusmaja:
I've got the 2016 Jan 22 update (QM152E.0.5.101.54) , so no i'm stuck unfortunately. Does the latest firmware gives an ADB connection to the PUT line as well?
[Philips, Sony, TCL Android TV] philicibine:
Yes. That's the model I have. Only just got adb and unknown sources.

Edit: March 18th update. FYI
[Philips, Sony, TCL Android TV] pauliusmaja:
Did you achieve the Unknown sources option by using the User 10 method? As i understand, you need to have the latest march18 update for adb to work? Thanks for your answers.

I'll probably just keep on trying different flash drives, file systems, updates and different combos until i get the damn thing to reinstall :D cant get any worse
[Philips, Sony, TCL Android TV] ondrejvaroscak:
No the ADB option is normally available through menu in new firmware.

I made a several thing, connecting external hdd on usb3 and also ran into problems, but was able to recover by unplugging TV from power for long time (over one hour), then rebooting it, doing full factory reset and reflashing the same firmware.
[Philips, Sony, TCL Android TV] muffindrg:
It's not working with terminal emulator. On my 32PFH5500 i have the same error when using terminal but it's working over adb:

C:\Windows\System32>adb start-server
* daemon not running. starting it now on port 5037 *
* daemon started successfully *

C:\Windows\System32>adb connect 192.168.0.15:5555
connected to 192.168.0.15:5555

C:\Windows\System32>adb shell
shell@philips_MT5593FHT_EU:/ $ wm size 1920x1080
shell@philips_MT5593FHT_EU:/ $ reboot

The problem is that the android UI is a little bit messed up.
[Philips, Sony, TCL Android TV] WhiteSmurff:
Hmm for me new firmware isn't good, it is better of course, but after 4 months of waiting I expected something more.

I played whole Easter on Sony Brawia TV (FHD) and works a lot better, with better performance and better stability, that's why I made a small compare between both TV (sorry for off topic)

Some confusing things:

yes definitely it is but kinda strange. I am not sure it is problem with my phone (I don't think so) but it works well only when I have YT app on top. When I will add some videos to queue and then 'minimalize' app on phone, android loses cast connection and then playback is stopped (in good option) or just broke video as mentioned in post: http://xdaforums.com/android/help/philips-android-tv-t2935545/post66038726#post66038726 - there is also bad usability, we don't have any restart TV option in menu (it is in Sony for example) the only one way is just move your ass from couch and unplug cable - it really pissing me off. Additionally voice while casting is not sync with video (0.5 - 1 sek delay)

it is fine and great step forward, but it would be fantastic to have any app on phone to use it - for me it is bad to have 5 devices connected to TV - as you expect ;) Sony provides Android app as mouse/keyboard and it is usable from phone. Google Remote App have only keyboard and pad that is working as arrows on remote.

it can be temporary, when you install new system with clean up it always works fine, after few days speed slows down - we will see how it will work later and same about stability

Problems that still exist:

- no 3D option in Android apps (for example Kodi) - Sony have it

- voice search, which is main feature in Android TV crashes every time - works on Sony

- no 5.1 support - also works on Sony

- 4k doens't support all file formats, and sometimes isn't smooth especially when screen moves fast (skipping YT but it is known problem)

- performance is BAD, really bad I don't know why and it is strange to understand but Sony FHD TV plays better on Android than 4k PhilipsTV that should (but probably doesn't) have better processor (Android on both TV have same resolution)

It is just my point of view, as I said had few days with Sony and now I know than our software (or maybe also hardware) is not good - of course we have few fine features that are not available on Sony, but our software missing really main fundamental options...

Hi everybody !

I have just installed the new firmware on my tv (8700) and in first time, android cast didn't work.

So i have made a factory reset and now everything works well.

I have 3 questions :

1°) Where can i find adb for windows (or mac)

2°) Why is it important to root the tv : i know it is a stupid question but i am not an android user on tablets so i don't know the avantages for TV to root it

3°) how can i active the mouse function with the new firmware

Thanks a lot
[Philips, Sony, TCL Android TV] ondrejvaroscak:
You can use ADB :

adb shell wm density DPI

adb reboot

FOR EXAMPLE FOR DPI 480

adb shell wm density 480

adb reboot

[Philips, Sony, TCL Android TV] Grzegorz_Pietrakowski:
I did all like you said but youtube casting is still broken.

I did all like you said but youtube casting is still broken. Mostly on second video i got distorted picture. I dont think its google cast reciever problem because distorted picture is on other sources and only power cord remove helps. Anyone else got this problem? Is any way to disable cast option in tv? I have chromecast 2015 and it work fine.

Wi-fi stuff

Hi guys,I have freaky problem with my 5500 ,I had it from start of using , after every switching off , wi-fi is breaking down,just endless connecting... Only restarting TV can help,but not normal from remote,just from joystick on backside and of course if I would plug if off from elecrisity. If someone can help me solve this problem at all, or at least find an app that restart android device ,I'd be very grateful

P.S. Sry 4 long message

P.P.S. I have latest firmware and access to adb and installing apps from unknown sources
[Philips, Sony, TCL Android TV] dorio:
Try to do a factory reset and see afterwards if something improves.
[Philips, Sony, TCL Android TV] ovso:
If you are using your TV mainly for watching live streams, than forget about the wi-fi, just turn it off... Buy 2x ZyXEL PLA4201 Mini Powerline Adapters and your problems are solved...
[Philips, Sony, TCL Android TV] inuando:
Hi,

Nobody to answer my questions ?

How can i active mouse function?

Etc...

Thank you
[Philips, Sony, TCL Android TV] ovso:
It must be supported by the TV manufacturer in the firmware. If you plugin your mouse to the TV and cursor does not show, than there is not much you can do. Wait until next firmware update which may support mouse. For example latest QV151E firmware does support mouse...
[Philips, Sony, TCL Android TV] ProtoDeVNan0:
On my 40PFT5500 the newest update finally enabled unknown sources and adb. Yay!

Root doesn't seem to work. Android OS just crashes and reboots. (I'll try different rooting methods).

But for now I'm really happy with this TV. Finally I can use flash browser to watch online TV.

I honestly think that a lot people took their TVs back to the store , or sold them. And Philips decided to enable this functionality.

Now I wonder what would "Philips -Thomas" say about his last words "Those features are disabled to make Your TV safe" . Does it mean that now our TVs are not safe? And they will stop working? :confused: :p
[Philips, Sony, TCL Android TV] ovso:
"Philips-Thomas" changed his mind recently here :)
[Philips, Sony, TCL Android TV] ProtoDeVNan0:
Last response ^.

Priceless ;) .

I was selling my tv too. But in the last moment found out that unknown sources have been enabled. Now I can recommend this TV to other people.

Factory Reset or Software Update

Hey guys, i have a problem with my 55PUS9109.

It has an softwareversion which is not updatable (dont know if its 100% based on the Version but dont want to believe its a hardware based issue)

Version 0.9.32.100 - its not listed in the changelogs - was factory side installed.

An no update works - neither from internet - nor from usb stick i want to access the recovery mode and try it there.

Does anyone know how to get there?

[Philips, Sony, TCL Android TV] lazik:
Download from Philips autorun.upg for your TV. Then unzip this and edit \autorun\META-INF\updateinfo\upg.xml

Example mos important lines

The current Version Info on TV is:

Update version includes versions information as follows:

This update cannot be installed because everytime TV restarts after downloading from USB stick and downloads it again.

JK
[Philips, Sony, TCL Android TV] lazik:
Its normal. Update takes 2-3 restarts.
[Philips, Sony, TCL Android TV] abinmuell:
but every restart downloads the software again? Nothing is shown like "Installation in progress" - its only "downloading software" so i'm searching for android recovery mode to try the update.

JK
[Philips, Sony, TCL Android TV] lazik:
No chance to install anything from recovery mode. Only internal SD are is available and to this memory you cant write anything.
[Philips, Sony, TCL Android TV] abinmuell:
I found sth which does not work on my TV as i cannot access Recovery Mode - please search for "Philips 55PUS8809 pausenlose Neustarts" at youtube
[Philips, Sony, TCL Android TV] og33:
You are supposed to remove the USB stick when tv restart to avoid installing the update again
[Philips, Sony, TCL Android TV] abinmuell:
But the Installation is not done at this moment - its just downloaded - and it will be redownloaded again. If i remove the Stick after the first download nothing will happen after restart.

So my Idea is to do it as in the youtube video above.

Philips Android

Hi all,

I just bought a philips 65PUS9809/12 android TV. Nice tv with nice features.

after lots of trial and error I got SPMC (xbmc) working on the TV.

the internal disk space to install apps on is indeed very low (only 1,6gb) I cannot understand why philips or TPV doesn't add more storage to this TV's.

also I've read in the manual that the source code for the TV can be requested at philips if this can help in your development.

my current issue is that the TV just can't be turned on while in standby by pressing the on/off button.

The TV just does not turn on and I have to power it off completely (from the socket) and plug it back in. After this it works for..a while

Tried with diferent remotes. The tv recieves the input but just does not turn on. I also tried unplugging all hdmi devices and usb sticks but that didn't help.

contacted philips about this issue and their answer was to unplug it from the socket, leave it unplugged for 2hours and plug it back in.

Way to go philips! Anyone else having this issue?

hope anyone here can create a stable rom for this TV.

1 Remove all USB devices (such as Wi-Fi adaptor) from the TV, then switch on the TV. 2 Connect the USB ﬂ ash drive to a USB connector on the TV. 3 The software upgrade starts automatically. The upgrade is complete when a notiﬁ cation message appears on screen. 4 Before you restart the TV, disconnect the USB ﬂ ash drive from the TV. 5 Press on the remote control — do not press more than once. 6 The TV switches off, then back on again. The upgrade is complete. 7 To prevent accidental updates to the TV software, reconnect the USB ﬂ ash drive to your computer and delete autorun.upg.

You cannot install Google Play due to TV spec limitation.

If you have file with *.upg extension you do not need to unzip it.

I think you will not be able to play back 4K movies with XBMC/ KODI because the CPU in philips android TVs is to slow. Maybe it could work with GPU acceleration but that would require more modifications in XBMC/ KODI code to get it to work with an android TV.
[Philips, Sony, TCL Android TV] nabilone:
Hi Christian,

Can you please tell me, with details, how to do step 2?

I'm little bit "newbie" with android ;)

Thanks

1º You must download "Developer Settings" from "Google Play" and enable "Usb Debugging" in "Developer options".

2º Connect ADB via WIFI -> adb start-server" , adb connect IP:5555

3º Install APK -> adb install "app.apk" (download apk from google play with evozzi apk downloader in web or in chrome extension)

I still can't find a way to enable unkown sources or at least let me install a single app that's not on PlayStore, the so called new firmware that enables unknown sources isn't available for my model just yet and dunno when/if it'll ever be http://www.p4c.philips.com/cgi-bin/...ink_Software&mid=Link_Software&scy=CZ&slg=AEN

The latest(?) Termux app way won't help me since I use Linux, not Windows, I'm almost sure mine is a 2015 model

is it normal for youtube to display only up to 720p on videos even the ones that are 4K?
[Philips, Sony, TCL Android TV] ondrejvaroscak:
Yes, this is normal. The resolution of Android UI and therefore maximum resolution for Youtube is 720p. If you can access ADB, you can resize the Android UI, however it will make Android UI look distorted - icon sizes etc, until you also change DPI to matching value. The values are depending on your panel resolution and size.
[Philips, Sony, TCL Android TV] VyktorJonas:
what about APKs? I only want Popcorn Time to be more precise

is this tutorial for the phone or the TV? Either way, mine doesn't show the "Install to TV" option

Unless you can sideload through adb, I am afraid that you are out of luck.
