Your only issue would be the interface language. The available languages for the Saudi model (with CID_J15) are: Arabic, English, Espanol, Persian, French, Italian, Portuguese and "Pyccknn?!?". Though you could add any language using more locale2 with proper permissions set through ADB. Also, as explained above, warranty will only be honored in the Middle East.

Note: Suadi model is the same as all Middle Ease Arabic countries.
[LG V20 Questions & Answers] Sirclip:
I need some help. Today I had a message on my LG V20 D990DS to install an update. I remember it mentioned voLTE and other improvements, but I don't remember exactly what it said it would improve.

Anyway, following the update it rebooted and gave me a red g.co/ABH warning. Now it refuses it boot, just goes around in the boot loop, ending in this error message. I've tried a hardware button-invoked factory reset, but it just won't reset the device, it just ends up at the 'g.co/ABH' warning. Is it possible to reload the original firmware from LG? If so, is there a procedure that I can refer to and where can I get the original firmware. Any help would be really gratefully received. Thank you. :)

I really need to get this working as I can't afford IPTV or any live TV substription right now. Is their any possible way I can get this working? I'm one of the lucky few that live in an area that YouTube TV covers and I'm testing out their 1 month trial. Right now theirs not much options in reguarding to using it on anything other than a phone/tablet.

I've tried side loading YouTube TV onto my fire stick and I have google services side loaded using this guide from AFTVNews (sorry I can't link as I've not met forum requirments) as well but it's telling me I need to update my google services in order to use the app.

Here are the Gapps I've successfully sideloaded:

com.google.android.gsf.login v4.4.4-1215936.apk

com.google.android.gms v8.7.03.apk

com.android.vending v6.0.2.apk

If anyone can tell me which one I need to update specifically for the Fire TV/YouTube TV app is so much appreciated! :o

install both.

I loaded the youtubetv app on my phone. opened the youtube tv app on phone tapped the cast icon and it tried to play. It gave an error. on phone

an error occurred playing the video

on the firetv:

"playback error this video is unplayable on this device record this id number" RbqmGx3fYZSadbjC

Next I thought hell with it I will mess with my firestick that i rarely use.

I opened the youtubetv app on my phone and tapped the cast icon and "magically" the firetvstick was there. I selected it and the youtube TV app opened on it. Note I had not loaded any apk for youtube tv on this firestick. It unfortunately gave the same type of playback error for live or shows in my home tab.

firetv stick

youtube version

youtube version 2.0.58.0_206003810

firetv box

youtube version 2.0.58.0_206003810

slightly off topic

Sorry to go slightly off topic - I am also looking for this, but for a different reason.

Just a moment ago a message appeared on my YouTube app for my Amazon Fire Stick, stating Google is pulling the plug on YouTube being available for Fire Stick Devices (Fire TV Stick).

They are removing it from the devices on January 1st, 2018.

I'm not sure if that's going to effect your efforts, but I think this thread is going to be getting very popular soon and hopefully you guys figure something out.

I will be following the thread and eventually will have to side-load youtube or use an unofficial apk.

Good luck, and we're all counting on you.

Hello, I'm also here because the official YouTube app on Fire TV that's just using the TV interface (YouTube(dot)com/TV) is about to get useless starting 2018. I think the way Google is making that happen is by recognizing the user agent so if anybody knows how to change it, please let us know

com.google.android.gsf.login_5.1-1743759-22_minAPI21(nodpi)_apkmirror.com

All the stuff have been updated from the original stuff which was posted by someone long ago. Still have a bit of trouble with the login account which kicks me back to Amazon. The search function pops up with needing to use Alexia to voice the search & no way to just enter the search criteria. When I did a the Alexia thing, I got connected to my profile for the Amazon Youtube!

My thought now is just to wait until the new year & uninstall the Amazon version & see if I can use my profile again without being bounced to the Amazon version. Looks to me there is a lot of tracking going on.

BTW, be sure to load the Youtube app or any other app AFTER installing the google services apk.

Has anyone tried this using the Yalp Store app? [GitHub] [F-Droid]

Sadly, I don't have a Fire TV to test it with, but I'm hoping that someone could do an experiment with this to see if the Play Store will still treat these devices as Android TV and still allow installation of Android TV Apps through this app, or if you have to force it to make it so.

If it works, it might influence me to consider getting a Fire TV again, especially what with Google discontinuing YouTube support for it now.

[Fire TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jsgates:
I am also looking to sideload the "Youtube TV" app on my FireTV. I want to try out the service as my DirecTV contract is up in March and I really want to cut the cord. Youtube TV looks to be the most promising as it has about ALL of the sports networks I care about. Unfortunately, I don't have a Samsung or LG TV, and I don't want to "Cast" I have two Amazon FireTVs with ethernet ports and would love to use them. It would be like Google & Amazon to get into a pissing contest right as Youtube TV is becoming available in more markets. There's a good chance Google will be losing $35 a month of my money since I refuse to buy new hardware just to subscribe to their service. I really wish these companies would get over themselves and work out what is best for all. Amazon needs to sell the damn Chromecast and make a Prime video app for it, and Google needs to leave Youtube alone on FireOS. All they are doing is costing each other "content revenue" by trying to lock consumers into their own ecosystem. This only hurts the consumer. "Youtube TV" is NOT the "Youtube" app. It is a newer Live TV streaming service from Google (like SlingTV or DirectTV Now).
[Fire TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Michajin:
Try it through firefox or silk, It should work in desktop mode. You need google services installed to make google apps work correctly. I have had services installed but it seemed every update between google and amazon broke it. It is possible with the issues between google and amazon someone puts some time into making services work on current OS.

This is my first ROM for this device and it is MIUI 8 ported from the Osprey.;)

Before I go, I will be talking about bugs and their respective fixes:

Gapps:

Use only Open Gapps Pico, do not use anything else.

Setup Wizard Crash:

Skip setup wizard by tapping on top left then top right then bottom right then bottom left.

No SIM card:

The SIM card's features such as calling, data and SMS all work, only that it shows No SIM but actually it detects SIM. Fix this by rebooting into bootloader, you don't have to do anything there just reboot into bootloader.

Snap camera etc:

These apps can be removed with root, flash Magisk after you flash the ROM and you can remove useless apps.

Search doesn't work in notification centre:

Download MIUI search from Apkmirror.

Soft reboots instead of rebooting or shutting down.

Xposed works perfectly

APN doesn't work

VoLTE patch brings back the No SIM card error.

XDA app doesn't work, it simply crashes, use Tapatalk.
