Hello, I have a 50PUG7907/78 television, the problem it presents is that it does not turn on the WiFi, it does not find networks, it disconnects by itself, it does not recognize the network cable. I contacted Philips but they only sent me to update the software and the problem still persists. I have the software TPM215L_R.001.002.051.003 I also tried with TPM215L_105.000.057.000 and nothing.

Hello everyone,

I'm encountering an issue with my Philips 65OLED934/12 TV where it suddenly stopped working during operation and now refuses to power on. Upon plugging it in, the white LED indicator begins to blink continuously, without displaying any logo or responding to attempts to power it on.

On a couple of occasions, I've noticed a faint emission from the panel in the dark, but there's no further response. After researching potential solutions, it seems that obtaining the NVM / EED file might help diagnose and possibly resolve this issue.

If anyone has access to or can provide the NVM / EED file for the Philips 65OLED934/12 TV model, I would greatly appreciate it. Any assistance or guidance on troubleshooting this problem would be immensely helpful.

Thank you in advance for your time and assistance.

Good morning,

[Philips, Sony, TCL Android TV] AsadSnake:
hey

I have purchased a 4K Philips Android TV. the actual resolution definitely is 3840x2160, But the "resolution of Android firmware" is locked at 1920 x 1080. goes lower (for example 720p, 480p, etc) but does not go higher. It is impossible even to be 1921 in 1081! Only 1920 x 1080 or lower is possible. There is no option to adjust TV resolution, like resolution setup, Display, etc. When you watch a 4K movie, you will actually get a resolution of 1920 x 1080, no more. Although the TV is 4K and it is not the problem; "Android" is the problem, which won't let you set the resolution higher than 1920 x 1080 via adb. I tried many times, increasing the resolution above 1920 x 1080 is restricted.

anybody knows what to do? 😂
[Philips, Sony, TCL Android TV] AsadSnake:

[Philips, Sony, TCL Android TV] orfin22:
It is correct...why you need 4k resolution in android menu? It saves CPU and GPU resources (and all TV uses really **** HW). After you play a movie, resolution will be showed in native display (uhd) resolution...i have too Philips Android TV
[Philips, Sony, TCL Android TV] AsadSnake:
Imagine you have used 30 GB of internet to download a 4K movie and you have popcorn next to you, and now you open MX Player from the list of programs and realize that Android is locked to 1920 x 1080!

"Android menu" isn't important! The important thing is that 4K content will be in dreams, not reality! I think this is a fraud and theft.
[Philips, Sony, TCL Android TV] Toengel:
Hi,

4K content will be played as native 4K - only the GUI is not in 4K...

Right ...my KODI show in settings only fullHD, but movies run in native screen resolution in UHD...this is reality, not a dream 😉
[Philips, Sony, TCL Android TV] AsadSnake:
Hi

are you sure?

I already had an Android box. If I set the resolution to 720p, only the same 720 resolution would be played, no more. For example, if I played a Full HD movie on Android with a resolution of 720p, the maximum resolution received was 720p, not more.

Are you sure GIU has nothing to do with MX Player and 4k content?

I have a very annoying problem with my Philips 43PUS6412 running on Oreo 8 official firmware.

When the internal memory has low free space (such as less than 1 GB), I get kind of notification on bottom-right like "storage is running out" in every 5 minutes regularly. It is very annoying to have this appearing in every 5 mins.

Is there any way to disable this with certain methods like Wifi ADB (platform tools) or something else?

Best regards.
[Philips, Sony, TCL Android TV] Toengel:

check the amount of cache which is used for the EPG app - sometimes, it consumes several GB... just clean the cache... (or TVguide app - just take a look at the naming).

Hi, thanks for the reply. I know the cause that consumes the space - my video files in internal memory. The problem is that the notification does appear regularly in every 5 minutes which is very intrusive. I wanted to know whether there is a tweak to disable that notification itself. Thanks a lot.

[Philips, Sony, TCL Android TV] emaidkd:
Philips PFL9703 TV, The TV runs a 2.6.18 kernel, pnx8535 MIPS32 240MHz CPU, compiled with a MontaVista toolchain.

RC triggered service modes:

Customer Service Mode (CSM): 123654. Insert USB stick, put the remote in DVD mode and press 2679 – this will create an application dump of the tv application file on the USB stick (binary).

Service Alignment Mode (SAM): 062596info. I didn’t find a option to enable the serial console!

Service Default Mode (SDM): 062596menu. Purpose: To create a pre-defined setting, to get the same measurement results as given in the service manual.

Manual software upgrade: Disconnect the TV from the AC Power, press + hold the OK button of the RC and connect set to mains.

Back-up Software Upgrade Application: Disconnect the TV from the AC Power, press + hold the INFO button (or cursor down) of the RC and connect set to mains.

Jett mode: Disconnect the TV from the AC Power, switch to DVD RC, press + hold the INFO button and connect set to mains. Now you TV is in the Jett mode – but we need some files now, which are NOT available! We should create a directory on the root of the USB drive which is called JETTFILES and put two files called “MemoryTestPNX8635.bin” and “autojett.bin”. Those files are part of a software package called “TESTSCRIPT Q529”…

I guess in this mode, serial access *could* be possible, however the protocol will change, as there is only binary stuff visible after the bootloader tries to load the kernel. This could be a side effect of the missing JETTFILES, but I’m not sure. Perhaps some kind of 3 Wire SPI mode? another binary serial mode? See “Serial Port dumps” below.

Philips write about this in the service manual:

– Install the computer program “BOARDTESTLOGGER” (available in “TESTSCRIPT Q529”) on the PC

– Connect a “ComPair/service”-cable from the service-connector in the set to the COM1-port of the PC

– Start-up the program “BOARDTESTLOGGER” and select “COM1”

– Put the USB stick into the TV and start-up the TV while pressing the “i+”-button on a Philips DVD RC6 remote control (it’s also possible to use a TV remote in “DVD”-mode)

– On the PC the memory test is shown now. This is also

visible on the TV screen.

– In “BOARDTESTLOGGER” an option “Send extra UART command” can be found where the “AUD1” can be selected. This command generates hear test tones of 200, 400, 1000, 2000, 3000, 5000, 8000 and 12500Hz

Serial Port access

To access the serial port of the TV you need a EIB cable – basically a serial (db9) to stereo jack cable.

3 pin SERV.U connector seems to be Philips sevice UART serial connection and has GND in the center, so I suppose Tx and Rx are around it.

It's used to upgrade the firmware on the Philips TV's.

Perhaps parameter ro.boot.console is set to "ttyS0" so we can use SERV.U serial connection.... Correct me if I am wrong.

6400 series Android TV

Hi guys, I have bought recently 40PUK6400 and here is my bit:

- Kodi 15.2 playback from WiFi and Ethernet is quite laggy for 1080p24 sources

- - When played from USB 3.0 hard drive, it is much better, however:

- - - HW acceleration does not work properly. With enabled, Kodi reports much lower CPU utilization however picture is laggy

- - - when disabled, CPU utilization goes about 80% on both cores for 1080 playback, however there are still stutters

- The same content played from USB 3.0 hard drive using TVs native player (just open from Sources/USB) plays without any issue

- Image from TVs internal player is much more clear and sharp than compared to Kodi

- Same content had no log/stutter when played by PS4 over HDMI

- Tried to connect USB 3 drive formatted as FAT32 and NTFS, and copy files between PC and TV using ES File Explorer. Tried both method, sharing a folder on PC and access it from ES Explorer or using ES Explorer Remote manager FTP access. However, copying files always fails on connection reset (connected over Ethernet).

- Vast majority of apps, including life-savers like Sync etc. are marked incompatible in Google Play, and as we already know, there is no way to install them on 6400 series from APK

And now the worst news. If you use software like AIDA64, you can list OS specific features enabled in this TV. One of those is "dm-verity". It means that Lollipop version in this TV uses "Verified Boot" feature of Android. It is a security measure of kernel, that disables system boot if either /system partition or /boot partition was changed. It operates on bitmap level rather than file level. This is also, why you think that img files inside UPG upgrade packages are encrypted - they are not only encrypted, they are not files, rather that are bitmaps of changed parts of partition.

This much complicates, or more or less disables a possibility of root. You either need a custom kernel with dm-verity disabled, in which case you need unlocked bootloader, or system-less root, that need modified ramdisk image. In either case, the amount of work behind it is so big, that I don't believe, that anyone will dedicate resources and time to it. dm-verity is here from KitKat, and never has been broken-in since then.

Just search internet for 4K or UltraHD video samples. You should get some trailers and demos.

Like here : http://4ksamples.com/4k-uhd-fireworks-sample/

Also try HEVC 4K samples or H.265 samples to get HEVC samples, because majority of HD samples are still encoded in H.264.

- Hi, 4K videos up to certain bitrate are ok. I tried for example the Sony Taipei 101 Demo and plays wonderfully. Also Elysium 3D trailer. However, one video with extreme bitrate (around 100 Mbit/s) plays choppy. The HDR 4K videos are not supported.

- As for Internal/USB I have no clue. I tried to hang USB3.0 320GB disk and format it so I can use it for recording and apps. It should create 64GB partition for apps and the rest use for recordings. The formatting took already over 2 hours so I decided to go sleep. Unfortunately my friend decided to switch off the telly, interrupted the formating. Now the telly doesn't recognize the USB disk (no wonder), but also refuses to install any apps, so I will have to do factory reset and reinstall software.

We should bear in mind that 6400 series in entry level model, as basic telly works a charm for money it costed (bough 40" new for 350€). But it is nothing for a geeks or people who would like to get more out of the box. The processors are rather weak, coupled with Mali 450 that is just just enough for 4K playback.

At the other hand, I would like to get back my rights to do whatever I want to with device that is my property. And it includes right to unlock bootloader and get unlimited control over MY device.

40PFH6510 Stuck @ adb connection

Hi all,

Long time reader/lurker here. I usually don't post as I find answers to all my questions by searching, but not this time...

Thank you for creating this thread. This is the best way to vent out my frustrations towards the butt headedness of Philips.

I've read this thread and I'm yet to find a solution to enabling adb when you get the following:

"getprop service.adb.tcp.port

5555

getprop sys.usb.config

None

getprop sys.usb.state

None"

Has anyone found a solution to this. I have a hunch that Philips disabled implicit adb over wifi with the last update and if this is the case I hope they go bankrupt ASAP.

Thanks !

Be aware that , as for Android phones, only a few % buyers are interested in trying to root their device. 99% users are looking for simplicity, good image quality and maybe accessing some Android apps. So Philips really don't give a **** about unlocking their TV
