Read at your own Risk, you will lose your warranty.

I installed mine same as you but I removed it because I realized there is a problem with panel brightness and contrast, any way what I did is changing NVM numbers manually, from service menu, you can keep most of original option numbers of the 6401, I remember I used my original 7120 option numbers to enable HDMI ports and correct ambient-light alignment but I don't remember which is it.

- First, you need your original 7120 option numbers, to get it put a usb flash in your tv with 7120 board installed, enter csm menu (with remote enter 123654) and it will be automatically generated in your flash or you can take a photo of that menu with option numbers on it.

- Next,replace your board with 6401 board and enter Service menu (use any original ir Philips remote or 6401 remote and enter 062596+OK button) note that you can't use your old 7120 remote any more, now go to option numbers, and start changing option numbers one at the time using the 7120 option numbers and restart the tv from the tv settings, about, restart. for example you have two groups of option numbers with 4 sets of numbers of each (1.4a Options 1:00036 33073 00003 10304 \ 1.4b Options 2:51782 00368 14371 00000). you start with first set 00036 and change it with the the first set of what you get from your 7120 csm and then restart your tv from lettings

- each time you change option number and restart your tv check for hdmi and ambilight to see if it is working correctly and if not change back the option number to 6401 and restart and then change the next one in order.

that's what I did for my 7120.
[Philips, Sony, TCL Android TV] tenkesas:
Thank you it worked good, I was also strugling with brightness, but after entering last numbers that you have mentioned, everything is ok.

Hi, now I have a prblem, after power off from tv, tv doesn't boot, screen is black. Tv powers on, but without picture. Is it any way to fix this? Maybe somebody has dump from 25L1606?
[Philips, Sony, TCL Android TV] mms99099:
put 7150/r2 or 7100/r2 nvm.edd on usb and start the tv with it, see if picture comes back again.
[Philips, Sony, TCL Android TV] tenkesas:
I have tried few times without success, tv is not showing picture, maybe somebody has dump from flash 25L1606 It is posible to read it with clip on adapter without desoldering.

Come on with the Oreo Update already.

We are almost at half of December and we don't have any update yet. Come on Philips. What the hell.

You have the QM163E update to Android TV 8 pushed to some 7272 and we don't have it on other TV's with exactly the same platform/firmware base? What is the logic behind this? It is just so stupid and lazy.

Does anybody have the USB upload file for Oreo on QM163E?

Thank you in advance.
[Philips, Sony, TCL Android TV] Toengel:
Hi,

Oreo will come this week: https://toengel.net/philipsblog/201...von-android-tv-8-oreo-in-den-naechsten-tagen/

Just to let you guys know I have a 49PUS 7181/12 and I got the Oreo update in October, possibly late September. The TV is in Sweden.

Is it better?
[Philips, Sony, TCL Android TV] bothered:
Hi Toengal (re 49pus7303)

After an upgrade to TPM171E_105.1.2.75_upgrade_loader

is it possible to use your instructions from your website - also below(google translate) , to install any apk?

(arm64-v8a.apk or armeabi-v7a)?

Update 6 (9.1.2018):

On TVs with Android TV 5, 6 or 7, the installation via ADB should be the fastest (for the 2014 android version 4.2.2, the instructions under Update 1 should work).

Install latest firmware

Download and install the program " Minimal ADB and Fastboot " for the PC. Then open the exe MAF32.

Enter the following: adb start-server

Then adb connect [IP address] (enter the IP address from the TV without the square brackets)

Download any APK from the Internet (eg Sky Go) and put it into the installation folder of the downloaded ADB program.

Now enter the following: adb install [program name] .apk (enter exactly as the file is called).

Then wait until the file has been transferred and success is reported.
[Philips, Sony, TCL Android TV] Snah:
Yes, for once! Hope more companies will realize everyone will be speaking Swedish in ten years. :)

Oh, yes! It makes much more sense and is faster. The bug when installing apks (greyed out or white acceptance screen/buttons) is gone. You get a better overview of content and you can choose ehich content you want on the start screen in a much better way. [emoji106]

"Whats new in oreo"?
[Philips, Sony, TCL Android TV] blop135:
Hi Alex,

When I go to the downloads webpage. All I see for 6551 is Nougat:

https://toengel.net/philipsblog/firmware-download/

Is it normal?

Thanks :)
[Philips, Sony, TCL Android TV] Toengel:
Hi,

right - up to now it's only available via TV directly (OTA) - by checking manually... USB file will come later...

Toengel@Alex
[Philips, Sony, TCL Android TV] MareleVlad:
For now, it says it is up to date. I think it depends on what server is trying to connect to.

I think I will wait for you to get your hands on the USB update files.

Guys,

Firstly, apologies if the answers to my questions are already in the thread...

Secondly, I have bought recently PUS8303 and added 500GB USB HDD, formatted for Pause/Rec.

Nevertheless, I see that normal file structure is created on the HDD (Android/data/...) but it's not available for writing/copy. Any way to overcome this restriction, or this is by design and that's it?

Also,

any dates for Oreo on TPM171E platform?

Thank you in advance for your answers.

[MENTION=8673431]Toengel[/MENTION] any known workarounds?
[Philips, Sony, TCL Android TV] Toengel:
Hi,

yes - you need to make factory reset - it's the only solution at the moment... save your channel list before... warning: settings and recordings are lost afterwards...

Toengel@Alex

That's too bad, I need to save my channels and kodi library and try this method. Thanks for the clarification

Hey everyone!

I know all you are eager with the new updates but have another question regarding the built-in Chromecast.

Can you start casting anything when you Philips TV is in standby? For me that doesn't work.

I have a chromecast Ultra in the same house and same WiFi where it works perfectly.

Doesn't matter if I used wired Lan or WiFi.

Thanks!
[Philips, Sony, TCL Android TV] ckarv:
So, what are the first impressions of Oreo? Any notable bugs that were introduced vs Nougat? How is speed and usability?

Thanks (have to keep conversation going and mind distracted while I wait for the 2018 updates to be released..)
[Philips, Sony, TCL Android TV] blop135:
It's because the Chromecast is actually built into the TV. The Chromecast ultra is an outside system that send a signal via CEC that does wake up the TV. The included Chromecast in the TV will never wake up the TV because it is in sleep mod as the TV does too and it's very frustating.
[Philips, Sony, TCL Android TV] brigidino:
Not true, the tv is switching on if say to play something on youtube or spotify. You can't to switch on the tv but this workaround is perfectly working. You can't switch off
[Philips, Sony, TCL Android TV] blop135:
It never worked for me and I was told by a Google 's technician that it never would so I don't know how it worked for you.
[Philips, Sony, TCL Android TV] brigidino:
[MENTION=5036150]alex,[/MENTION] when do u think we can download the new firmware manually?
[Philips, Sony, TCL Android TV] Mark0x:
Hi, direct casting when the TV is OFF works fine for me too, even with the current version of android 7 Nougat (55POS9002). I just say "ok google play blabla on youtube on TV". As said, the order to turn off doesn't work but maybe with Oreo update I hope..
[Philips, Sony, TCL Android TV] brigidino:
It will happen with alexa.

I never undersood how the mobile phone app can controll 100% the tv, you can switch on and off and this happening via wifi i think, maybe someone here knows better than me how it is made
[Philips, Sony, TCL Android TV] Mark0x:
Its like WOL (Wake on LAN) function but for the Wifi (WOWLAN):

http://revolutionwifi.blogspot.com/2010/11/wake-on-wireless-lan.html

The idea is just to have a sleep mode with the ability to be wake-up upon request on the network. The device is not completely off and not completely on. It consumes the minimum amount of power just to be able to detect the wake order.

Note: The function has to be enabled on the TV in the wireless settings.
[Philips, Sony, TCL Android TV] Xophile:
Ok! So you can see the TV in the list of cast receivers even if the TV is "off"? For me I can see my chromecast ultra all the time but the built-in Chromecast is only visible in say YouTube on my smartphone when the TV is on. Extremely frustrating.

I have tried both Wi-Fi and wired LAN but that doesn't matter.

Any suggestions?
[Philips, Sony, TCL Android TV] brigidino:
I think this feature it is working by Google Home only. I ask to GH and it is working , still nougat
[Philips, Sony, TCL Android TV] MareleVlad:
Hi Alex,

I have the same question. I have already tried to put once more the update loader into the TV and I have reset. The last update it sees is still 102.009.

When can we get our hand on the upgrade file manually?

Why is it taking so long for Philips to upload this update file to their site?

Cheers,

Vlad

[Philips, Sony, TCL Android TV] blop135:
I believe that's why it doesn't work for me, I plugged a lan cable on my TV.
[Philips, Sony, TCL Android TV] Mark0x:
No its not the reason, it works with lan cable too, I tested both, but for LAN the function is enabled by default. For wifi it can be disabled because of the slightly higher power consumption when WOLAN is ON.
[Philips, Sony, TCL Android TV] blop135:
Well, I tried this morning with my Google Home Mini and it still doesn't work so I don't know why it works for some and not others. And in this case I don't understand why we can't just throw a "OK Google, turn on the TV or turn off the TV" Weird. :confused:

[Philips, Sony, TCL Android TV] ChimeyJimmey:
KODi Leia RC4 works fine on PUS8303 (7.0 Nougat still), except:

No TrueHD and DTS-HD pass-through, just plain DD and DTS... :(

Even some 4K HEVC file are running fine from NAS via LAN.

The same KODi Leia RC4 works on PUS7600, with some occasional hiccups, which is "normal" for 2015 forsaken Philips TVs.

Of course, no pass-through sound on Lolipop and 4K files from NAS via LAN.
[Philips, Sony, TCL Android TV] MareleVlad:
Hi All,

I have changed from service menu the device name of my TV from 55PUS7150/R2 back to 43PUS6401/12 (the original motherboard device name) and the Oreo update was found and installed.

If you want to do this is on your own risk!!!

Steps:

1- When you are on TV broadcast, enter the Service Menu by typing 062596 and then OK.

2- Go down to "NVM editor" and then "Type number" and there you will see the device name, in my case it was 55PUS7150/R2.

3- Now you can change this type number to the device your upgrade motherboard was based on and click OK. In my case my mainboard is based on "43PUS6401/12".

4- Now, after you are sure that your "type number" is changed, you can restart you TV and check for update.

5- I recommend a TV reset before and after the update is installed.

6- After the update is done, you will need to load once again the NVM and EED files that are for your upgraded TV to rename back the TV and make the TV once more a 3D capable display for external devices.

Just remember that the 3D is still not working properly.

The only workaround is to use an external device that is capable to display in 4K, like for example a Xbox One S/X or Mi Box 3.

Vlad

Yes thru menu you chose udate software on internet, then tv gives message that tv will be updated during standby. After switching on tv will be with new software.

Just rename your tv model in nvm editor to 55pus6401/12 and then you will get update.
[Philips, Sony, TCL Android TV] MareleVlad:
Hi,

You can follow my steps mentioned in a previous post.

But keep in mind that I am not responsable for any issues you have if you don't follow my steps precisely.

I have made the changes mentioned in my post and I don't have any issues.

If you have a 55PUS7150/R2, just like I have, then the chances are that your upgraded motherboard is from a 43PUS6401/12 TV model. This was my case.

If you manually change the TV type from the Service Menu to "43PUS6401/12", then you will see the update as being available after reboot (unplug from power).

You don't need to change anything else.

Just change from 55PUS7150/R2 to 43PUS6401/12 in the service menu, click OK on the remote, and then reboot the TV, and you are done.

I also recommend to turn off "Automatic Software Update" if you want to start the update manually. In this way, you will have more control over the upgrade process.

After you do the upgrade, do a factory reset and put the correct NVM and EED files on USB stick to change back the name of the TV to 55PUS7150/R2. And also fix the 3D detection of HDMI devices.

I believe I have said enough on this subject. If you still aren't able to follow my steps, then it is best not to do it.

Cheers,

Vlad
[Philips, Sony, TCL Android TV] Grzegorz_Pietrakowski:

Hi,

I am uploading again the HDR enabled NVM and EED files. This is the third time I am doing this.

Please follow the instruction file in the attached zip. You will need to rename and put on a FAT32 stick the correct NVM.BIN and NVM.EED files for your TV, and reboot your TV by unplugging from the wall. The USB stick must be plugged to a USB 2.0 port.

If you read better the post i said R2
[Philips, Sony, TCL Android TV] Toengel:
Hi,

the set code (=panel code) is still the same as you old TV before /Rx... just take a look at the back of your TV near to the serial number... it's 4 digit or 3 digit number... in case of 4, just remove the first 0 at the beginning (e.g. 0020 => 020)...

Toengel@Alex
[Philips, Sony, TCL Android TV] tenkesas:
Thank you for reply, but this code from my tv is not accepted by this tv with pus6401 mainboard, I sudgest all if you have 65pus7120 better stay on this platform, because 65pus7120/R2 picture is much worse. When I change color mode tv for one second shows good picture, later shows dark picture.
[Philips, Sony, TCL Android TV] mms99099:
I have the 6401 board on my 7120 ny work around gor your problem is, in picture settings for vivide or any other profile make sure your contrast is above 80, mine is 100, in advanced, contrast, contrast mode is off, dynamic contrast is maximum, video contrast is full 100, light sensor is on. Other settings should be fine without change. Then my picture is not changing between dark and bright.

Set code for my board is 112. (55pus6401)
[Philips, Sony, TCL Android TV] lathou:
Hi mms99099,

Is it a 65pus7120 that you have modified? I have this model and everyone agrees that it is the only one that cannot get any mainboard upgrade because of the active 3d. Does it mean that you chose to loose the 3d or did you find another solution?
[Philips, Sony, TCL Android TV] mms99099:
Yes. I don't use 3D thats why its ok with me but there is a problem with my picture, I don't know how to explain but I'll try, when watching a movie in a dark room, when a dark scene starts and there is asubtitle you will see a fade white light along the subtitle across the screen. Also this happens with the ui when you navigating the settings. I'm not sure if this is particularly my boards fualt or its not fully compatible with the tv considing the disply is different than other R2 models wich is super MVA with edge lightning, it can be quite annoying but it is managable.
[Philips, Sony, TCL Android TV] tenkesas:
Thank You, with set code 112 picture is like in stereo mode, but I have managed to get better picture just changing first number from my tv set code, 3D I am not using It, but exist option in service menu to enable it.
