but this still requires the system to be rooted, the apps are not removable w/o root - or did i miss something?
[Philips, Sony, TCL Android TV] ovso:
You do not need to have rooted TV to remove these Philips apps... However you need to have rooted TV to remove Philips section (one icon that is left after removal of all Philips apps)
[Philips, Sony, TCL Android TV] wmchris:
i would not mind having the icon left, as long as the advertisements are removed, but i cant uninstall the philips apps - they dont show up in teamviewer and cant be removed using the android app manager. :(

BTW: tried rooting it right now, but it didnt work - it's a 65PUS8700, but firmware identified as a QV151E not QM151E as reported in first post.
[Philips, Sony, TCL Android TV] ovso:
Well than it means that you have firmware version QV151E_R0.5.38.52 and up on your TV... You just reminded me, that I could not get rid of those Philips apps... Well I was able to uninstall them (using Total Commander with ADB plugin), but after each restart apps were there again... Annoying. My advice: Downgrade to QV151E_R0.5.38.41...

[Philips, Sony, TCL Android TV] ovso:
First of all you should try to unplug your TV from the mains and wait for few moments, than re-plug it and see if boots up properly.

If it does not help, than unplug it again, press and hold the "down" button on the joypad re-plug the power cord and wait for 10 seconds (with button down pressed). You will enter to Android recovery menu, where you can either repeat upgrade process from UPG file or you can use WipeDataTool to refresh TV...

ROOT - PROS AND CONS

PROS:

1. Install apps requiring root access

2. Make TV more reliable and faster by deleting obsolete system apps (even preinstalled ones)

3. Improve boot time and increase TV responsiveness by removing bloatware

4. Manage processor and Android system performance

5. Install a better web browser

6. Use an iphone/ipad/mac based airmouse/remote mouse in this browser

7. Tweak and test 4K posiblities

CONS:

1. Potential loss of warranty if not un-rooted before hard brick...

The best multimedia app right now is Kodi in my opinion. Do not install v 16.x but

version 15.2

instead. It runs much more stable on TV! You need to enable "Unknown Sources" option first. You can install APK files via

[Philips, Sony, TCL Android TV] ovso:
Figure out what version of firmware is your TV running now. Old firmware had lot of stability bugs, but they were already fixed in newer version of firmware. I personally recommend you to use QV151E_R0.5.38.41 , most steady, supporting mouse, 4K via tuner and easily rootable...

Not sure if it was the QM152E.0.5.234.10 (40PUT6400/12) firmware or that Chinese guide I attempted that was created last month but now the 'unknown sources' and ADB debugging options are shown in security restrictions and developer options.

You can upgrade or downgrade firmware on QV15.1E chassis at anytime via Android System Recovery

(https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-...cvunxgYGK0NntdGafhwCCo/s512/Screenshot+50.jpg)
[Philips, Sony, TCL Android TV] ovso:
For now I must say I am not sure if we will be able to run Oscam on our TV's in near future. It seems that root itself does not allow sufficient access to the built-in SAT tuner. Russian custom firmware QV151E_R0.6.0.5 only tweaks Android system. Unlocked bootloader would definitelly help us here...
[Philips, Sony, TCL Android TV] ovso:
Unfortunately for now you can only root firmware from QV151E_R0.3.120.105 to QV151E_R0.5.38.52 . TP Vision applied Android security patches to prevent root on QV151E_R0.5.38.55 onwards...
[Philips, Sony, TCL Android TV] ovso:
QV151E_R0.5.38.41 and QV151E_R0.5.38.52 can be rooted directly under user 0 using KingRoot:

Here you are download links for both firmwares:

1. QV151E_R0.5.38.41 (Use utility FRD v0.94 for easy download)

2. QV151E_R0.5.38.52 (Use utility FRD v0.94 for easy download)

Hi, anyone had success with a downgrade of QV151E_0.5.38.68 to QV151E_R0.5.38.52 (or QV151E_R0.5.38.41) via Android System Recovery ?

I have the problem:

"Footer is wrong"

"Signature verification failed"

How to disable the Signature Verification ?

Or is there now any other way to root on QV151E_0.5.38.68 Firmware ?
[Philips, Sony, TCL Android TV] ovso:
I've had .68 installed for one hour as I've tried to root it. I was not able to root .68 so I reverted back to .41 without any problems via Android System Recovery. My TV is 49PUS7150/12... You can not disable Signature Verification without unlocking the bootloader...
[Philips, Sony, TCL Android TV] GSMzippy:
i dont know why it doesn't works at first time, but now it works :)

I have downgrade my 49PUK7150/12 - QV151E_0.5.38.68 to QV151E_0.5.38.68.41

(install from zip file extracted "autorun.upg") and then i have upgrade to QV151E_0.5.38.68.41.52

For install the .52 it needs two reboots and install the update file in the recovery Mode

1. install "autorun_QV151E_0.5.38.52.upg"

2. reboot in to the recovery

3. install "autorun_QV151E_0.5.38.52" again

4. reboot final

Now, King Root is able to getting root !

adb shell error: no devices/emulators found

I have a Philips PFS5501/12 Running Version : QM164E.0.1.15.27

CREATE AND SWITCH TO USER 10 - Step 8. I managed to connect to my tv's IP. by adding to my routers exception list Port 5555. Unfortunately at step 8 where i have to add line " adb shell" I get response " error: no diveces/emulators found. If i test to see what devices are visible , with command " adb devices" it does not find anything.

The problem is that there are no drivers installed in my Windows 8.1 In Devices & Printers i can see the TV but under drivers there is no driver. On the official Philips page, the only drivers are for updating the TV....nothing for windows.

How to install drivers for this tv on my computer ? How to get pass the adb shell... ? adb does not recognize any devices

P.S. : I can only see the TV via router wireless. I have tried to remove the router and just plug a cable between computer and tv for direct simple LAN. Not working. In direct lan the pc does not recognize the tv , and using ES File Manager in network-Lan section the tv does not see the pc. The only way the tv and pc can see each other via LAN is through wireless router.

- Still as long as lan works , i still think the pc does not have tv drivers installed. You guys got pass Step 8 "adb shell" command, where did you get the drivers ?
[Philips, Sony, TCL Android TV] ovso:
It has nothing to do with your Windows drivers because you are not connecting TV to your PC via USB. Instead you are attempting to connect via "adb wireless"...

I do not want to demotivate you too early, but I think you will not able to root your TV...

[Philips, Sony, TCL Android TV] marekjs:
I know, people have very bad opinion about clone+, but it works quite stable with my Alphacrypt pro firm 3.28. Even, I have the one bar on the virtual card, no lags, delays, freezes.

I left the server box in the center part of my building. That means, every client can see the server.Maybe, I am just lucky...

Of course the cam is more accurate and flexible. But if nothing works, this is the easy fix.

whats "clone+"? is it possible to run cam on this device ?

[Philips, Sony, TCL Android TV] marekjs:
Hi,

Nope. This the standalone wireless solution. You program several client cards, we say, clones, basis on the original one. The small box wirelessly distribute rights to the clients. The main smartcard seats in the server slot.

Clone+ you can buy officially.

Of course, you have to be aware about the low etc. Every country has different low and it can be very restricted.

Of course, I prefer cams due the flexibility...

Hi!

I want to buy a Philips 49PUS6401/12. Is there a root method for this model ? Now appeared a new exploit called Dirty COW (CVE-2016-5195)

Maybe this helps :https://dirtycow.ninja/
[Philips, Sony, TCL Android TV] ovso:
Hi/Czesc, unfortunately even with "Dirty COW" you won't be able to root your upcoming 49PUS6401/12 based on chassis QM16.3E LA. You'll not be able to connect to your TV via ADB to execute the "Dirty COW" script...
[Philips, Sony, TCL Android TV] stitoo:
Hi/Ahoj :)

Even if someone on the basis of Dirty COW create one click root applications. For example KingRoot ? Or maybe by dm-verity it will be impossible?

The best way out is to upload TWRP recovery and use Chainfire SuperSU.zip with automatic kernel patcher to bypass dm-verity.
[Philips, Sony, TCL Android TV] ovso:
Theoretically it could be possible if someone creates exploit apk because installations from unknown sources can be enabled. I've tried to upload TWRP on my rooted 49PUS7150/12 but for some reason I've never succeeded, TV resets itself to default state when I do that. Of course you can share with us your success once you bypass the dm-verity, many users of Philips Android TV are waiting for that moment to happen...

[Philips, Sony, TCL Android TV] Vlada165:
QM152E

Ahoj

Má angličtina bohužel není nejlepší, tak odpovím česky (snad ostatní prominou)

Je to jak jsi mi kdysi odpovídal na Tvfreaku (je to tam i s obrázkem, protože tady vidím jen odkaz na obrázek, ale ne jak jej vložit jako přílohu).

Použil jsem Kingo ROOT For PC (nemám kabel a Kingroot for PC jsem nezkusil, protože ten přes síť televizi nenašel).

Bohužel jsem se radoval předčasně, ten root za nějakou dobu zmizí (nejčastěji po restartu, ale někdy i bez něj) a teď potřebuju ještě jak vyřešit, aby to zůstalo rootnuté trvale ...
[Philips, Sony, TCL Android TV] Arie83:
Hard to tell what is exactly the case.

I was fiddling around with Kingroot 5.0.0 and the HEVC QV151E_0.6.24.0 (see Toengels site) after 4/5 attempts KingRoot says it rooted my device. BUT it actually is not :?

The software 'works' (annoyingly no landschap GUI-mode why haven't they fixed that yet, so I hurt my neck because Teamviewer crashes all the time). However, the primary objective (rooting) was not achieved.

So, either an 'almost' rooted or a 'bug' in Kingroot 5.0.0

After half a day of playing I reverted to the easy firmwares in the post above?

All help or good idea's about what causes this is highly appreciated.

What about you [MENTION=6995621]ovso[/MENTION]
[Philips, Sony, TCL Android TV] Arie83:
Rooted .52 today.

- Is there a guide somewhere on what to kill/uninstall and want to whitelist/absolutely NOT to install

- Is there a tweak/fix to get Netflix in 4K anyway (wm size changes display of gui but strangely the tv says its 1080 hardware while in fact it's a 4K screen)

- Is there a dolby 5.1 tweak/fix/add on to be found?

- Is there a tweaklist somewhere? haven't found a particular one, everything is very shattered.

Main objective, a more stable 2015 Android TV with no bloatware and only the necessary background tasks (like they should have deliverd it in the first place).

I need try root older fw than 000-005-234-014_2016-07-07 (thang you for private message), but is use upgrade_loader.pkg safe, or use QM152E_000.003.222.079 without upgrade_loader.pkg please ???
[Philips, Sony, TCL Android TV] CoolApps:
I should probably share my discoveries so far with the QM152E.

I was able to access the device via ADB over the network ever since that one firmware that appeared to have enabled it. When I ADB reboot to the bootloader, it takes me to fastboot mode (requires a USB A male to USB A male cable from the TV to the PC). When it takes me to this mode, there can be a graphical glitch at first.

I did a test flash of the recovery image using the one found in '/system/boot'. There was a notice about there being no max download size being reported by the device and gone ahead and flashed the image successfully.

I had noticed that the TV would remain in fastboot even if you replug it. It would try booting back into the system if a fastboot reboot is done. So if yours ends up stuck on the Philips logo, be sure to have that cable ready and have it plugged in, replug the power and then issue the command when you want to get out of that mode.

As far as KingRoot 5.0.1 goes, it either fails or results in a kernel panic (as reported by the system).

So, it would go like this (from 'getprop'):

[sys.droidtv.bootreason]: [panic]
[sys.droidtv.bootreason_kernel]: [kernel panic]
