Hi,

New here, I have a 43X8500D, I bought it in China and bring it back home in Hong-Kong as in HK the TV are stupidly overpriced...(60% over China or US price!!! for the same model).

Well, buying it in China means I get the Chinese firmware that has no Google Play Store... Do somebody knows how I could flash the European, US, Australian or even the HK one? I tried to put it on a USB stick but I always get an error that says it can not be updated from this stick...

Used this on a SD85 after the latest Marshmallow update received yesterday and worked perfectly, I customized the script commenting out some lines for things I wanted to keep. I run this from a Win7 virtual machine from MacOS without problems.

[Philips, Sony, TCL Android TV] r0ckster05:
Hi Cruz40. Thank you very much for the script and afford you put into this! i will try this in the evening.

I have the same model as you, and i have very bad HDR performance on this tv on netflix, when i'm using subtitles. Every time the white subtitles appear, the whole screen kind of glows.

So my thought was to install an older apk of netflix where no hdr is included! but i can't install an older version of an system app.

can you tell me how to add a line to deinstall netflix in the batch file?

Or did you maybe find a way to deactive hdr on some sources/apps?

help would be very appreciated.
[Philips, Sony, TCL Android TV] r0ckster05:
i was able to remove netflix with the script.

unfortunatly when i'm try to install an older version of netflix i get the message that netflix is already installed in the current version.

guess because the apk still in in the system/app folder.

maybe any other way to avoid hdr on netflix or any way to root the tv?
[Philips, Sony, TCL Android TV] mirox3m:

I don't like bloat, but when i ran the script posted a few pages back to remove these, my tv (KD55XD7005 ,UK running N) got a bit glitchy, with various settings missing, so ended up doing full reset

So just some info

1st I do this to uninstall package that is in the rom

adb shell pm uninstall -k --user 0 "package name"

2nd I do this in case the package was updated via a download like the Japanese keyboard and others

adb uninstall "package name"

I found the package names via installing ESfile explorer then under apps and browsing /system/app. You can find the package names via a adb shell command too but it was easier for me to find what ones to get rid of with the icons.

Then for now is to use a BT audio transmitter connected to the 3.5mm stereo audio jack, like AUKEY BT transmitter.

[Philips, Sony, TCL Android TV] jFalner:
Wireless device interference (game controllers, USB dongles, etcetera)

Just now caught your post, and I think I can answer your problem. I had the same issues with my Sony X700D and a Logitech K400 Plus wireless keyboard. Keystrokes sometimes seemed to buffer and then display in a spurt, if at all, and the keyboard's touchpad would often lag and skip.

Did some research, and discovered that USB 3.0 (also known as SuperSpeed USB) ports can cause interference with wireless dongles, particularly those using the 5 GHz band. They also cause problems with 2.4 GHz, which has better range but slower communication speed. My keyboard dongle uses the latter frequency, and I've found that the interference is much greater than manufacturers would lead you to believe.

To resolve my situation, I invested in a quite long USB extension cable (a Monoprice 15-Feet USB 2.0 A Male to A Female Extension 28/24AWG Cable, purchased from Amazon for $4.97). I had the intention of using a traditional USB keyboard and mouse with it, but while awaiting the arrival of keyboard/mouse, I decided to go ahead and plug it in on one of the two USB 2.0 ports and place the wireless keyboard dongle in it. And boom, problem was instantly resolved.

After some experimentation, I found that the slightest isolation of the dongle from the USB 3.0 port on the back of the television worked. When not using a wired keyboard, I place the dongle back into the extension, and leave it sitting on the TV table underneath the front of the television. This only distances the dongle from the USB 3.0 port by a foot or so, but no more lag. I think it would be a safe bet that a much shorter USB extension cable would also do the trick—a three-foot cable can cost less than a couple of dollars, and can be discreetly placed where it isn't visible. I wouldn't expect a powered USB device (such as a hard drive) to work on these ports, but it works great for unpowered dongles with zero lag.

Hope this helps someone else down the road! :)

Side usb port can be connected to pc via Usb A to A cable.

I have made one at home, just cut ends from two usb cables, and connect red to red, black to black, white to white and green to green. (d- to d-, d+ to d+. dont cross d+ and d-).

One day my tw was too slow, so i do factory reset, but after boot i cannot pass initial settings for some bug. So i ****ed up something using adb. Then i get stuck on sony logo.

So i decided to wipe data using fastboot via that cable.

It worked like a charm.

So, is it possible to root that device when i can connect it to pc?

You can root the device via the recent bluetooth holes.

[MENTION=4218375]Orginator[/MENTION] - I have performed "a little research" and I have "some IT knowledge". I did not find any evidence to support your statement. When you say "the recent bluetooth holes" are you are referencing BlueBorne? ... Do you own a Sony Android TV that you have attempted it on/seen it attempted by a third party? ... Could you help us out a little further by providing some supporting links for us to research or even a first hand confirmation of success? :rolleyes:
[Philips, Sony, TCL Android TV] Orginator:
Well I guess you need more than just "some" IT knowledge ;)

Yeah I mean BlueBorne:

https://github.com/ArmisSecurity/blueborne

http://go.armis.com/hubfs/BlueBorne Technical White Paper-1.pdf

Here a nice article how to use the hole on another device or even android version.

https://jesux.es/exploiting/blueborne-android-6.0.1-english/

With enough understanding you can attack a sony android tv just as easy as any other device that hasn't been patched. However, as I don't see any advantage in rooting my android tv, I haven't attempted it myself.
[Philips, Sony, TCL Android TV] Murmel2k:
I had a look into it a few weeks before. Even though the TV should be vulnerable to Blueborne, the exploit used by Amri does not work on the TVs. Unfortunately the TV does not seem to be affected by CVE-2017-0785, which is used to retrieve the location of the Bluetooth service in the attacked device's memory. Therefore you also cannot point the Blueborne exploit to the right location. But I have to admit that my knowledge here is limited and a more skilled person might come to a different conclusion.

Sadly if you want the inputs row back, you will also get the "Advertised apps" row.

-> adb connect ip-of-your-tv

-> adb shell cp /system/app/SonyShelf/SonyShelf.apk /sdcard

-> Now on the TV use any file manager / file browser to install the SonyShelf.apk

-> Now reboot your TV

To fix that you need to reinstall netflixmanager..

-> adb connect ip-of-your-tv

-> adb shell cp /system/priv-app/NetflixManager/NetflixManager.apk /sdcard

-> Now on the TV use any file manager / file browser to install the NetflixManager.apk

-> Now reboot your TV

PS: I know that you can also install apps via ADB but that leads to issues, at least on my TV

Manually Upgraded Firmware

Clear Cache and Data

adb shell pm uninstall -k --user 0 com.sony.dtv.sonyshelf

And not sure if you can reinstall an unninstalled package, if it actually removes the package there's not much left to reinstall? can try adb shell pm install (or reinstall) but not sure if that would work...

Perhaps remove the rest of the apps from the list (if one of the remaining ones is depending on something you removed that would cause a crash) and otherwise I guess a factory reset.
