I have found that my tv 4s 55 is an old one that doesnt support downgrade...i try a lot but i could not make tv begin to downgrade with a .bin file...

Although i compile your file and change it to a zip one and try to install it via recovery mode,...the tv shows this phraze: installation aborted
[Android General] vu2pmc:
I also notice my wifi speeds are really slow after patchwall 3.1 update. I use Analiti app to check speed. Not sure if it is the app that is showing low speeds or if speed is really low.

Anyone else with similar issues? Old Mi TV 55" without Android update is my TV

Hi,

I live in France and I bought a MI TV 4A. (L43M5-5ARU model)

I am surprised because I could not choose the region in France (only Russia, Ukraine, Kazakhstan, Belarus, Myanmar, Cambodia, Laos, Philippines)

I continued installation with "Russia"

I update the TV and search for channels.

My TV channels start at 800 instead of 1.

How can I choose "France" in order to have the chains which start at 1?

Regards,

MI TV 4A Stock Firmware

I want to downgrade my android pie (android 9) update from my mi tv 4A 43". I want to keep the stock firmware which was pre installed.

I had tried to install stock rom through flash file which is available at xiaomistockrom.com (Xiaomi_Mi_Tv_4A_32inch_6.0.1.1298-6.0.1.1299_OTA.zip) but it did not work when i tried to install through recovery mode.

Please guide me regarding this and provide step for downgrading the android.

Did this start recently after patchwall upgrade? I had similar issues.

Remote api for controlling the TV via domotica.

On previous versions of Xiaomi TV's there were solutions to post get requests to http://device-ip:6095 to control the tv. You could set it to stand-by and turn it on or off, start an app etc.

For example a repo here that does such things.

My mitv 4s 55 sadly does not send any response on port 6095. How can I control this tv remotely through nodejs?

I did a port scan and found that I can use Android TV remote, but not while in standby. (ports 6466, 6467)

Also the chromecast ports are open (8008, 8009 and 8443).

Then last, port 9000 is open and makes use of ssl, but I do not know what that is for.

Tried Ethernet cable to my Old Mi Tv 4A 55 without Android update as WiFi speeds are not great..

Ethernet port shows connected, but no data...

The cable and Jack is fine as they work fine on my laptop...

Has anyone tried Ethernet on those old Mi TV?

Any advice would be really helpful..

Will the USB to ethernet adapter work with TV? You can use that if it works. It's working with android since a decade.
[Android General] vu2pmc:
I can try that, but how would the speeds be?

I feel it's not a hardware Ethernet port issue as it shows connected...just that data transfer is not happening.

I think it's a software issue after the patchwall update..

Thankfully WiFi works ok

Prime Video voice control on Mi TV4S

I got a Mi TV4s (55" global) with "Prime Video Android TV" pre-installed.

Unfortunately "Prime Video Android TV" doesn't support voice search/control.

I know that I can cast from mobile phone to the TV but that's kinda annoying.

As the Prime Video (non-Android TV version) supports Google Assistant voice search, my idea was to replace the pre-installed apk with the non-Android TV one.

Did someone try it out or is there another possibility to make it work?
[Android General] ginzon:
Hello All..

Today I received 2 updated for my Mi TV 4A 32inch 2018 edition.. One was upgrade to Android Pie and the other was a 760MB approx update with HDMI and some fixes..

I am still facing issue with Amazon Prime, whenever I get the language change pop up from Prime Video app it won't load any videos other than trailers.. Anyone else facing this issue?

Well I love the fact that the UI is stock one, as I have it on my OnePlus Q1 TV.. Only that on this TV is real laggy, but considering the specs it has.. It's good enough..
[Android General] neo84942011:
Yeah I find the os very limited . Bluetooth is basically useless I can't find anything it can be used for on the TV whats is tht all about . The itv hub does not work what so ever says along the lines of the distributor is not allowing the app to run due not having permission to do it as I was not the maker of the os . They had so many good things going for it but they went and screwed it
[Android General] neo84942011:
Good TV bad os

TV but seriously

good TV just bad os massively locked app store is

Franky shocking to say the least the Bluetooth is basically useless in my book . Can't use itv hub permission not allowed to even run it in the system . We need a roms for these TVs shame on Xiaomi for ruining Android system completely
[Android General] lockhrt999:
About app store and OS, I think it's google's fault. Play store on andoird TV is not good. I'd install Aptoide TV. UI of android TV is ugly, it's designed like an afterthought.
[Android General] neo84942011:
Yeah it's absolutely shocking the ui on it I've already been onto Xiaomi and they telling me it's nothing they can do cos it's not being sold in the UK I said no it's not Ur fault but it is Ur fault tht u built a rubbish android os on Ur TVs
[Android General] lockhrt999:
That interface is same to most Android TVs. Have you tried patchwall? You may like it better but then it may not be available if Xiaomi tv isn't officially available in your country.
[Android General] neo84942011:
I wondered what tht patchwall was it's on the TV what is it haven't clicked on it
[Android General] neo84942011:
Na my brother's cello Android TV is alot better android and magic remote and every app available on the app store and nothing locked . Xiaomi have made the os piss poor
[Android General] lockhrt999:
Was that TV released before Xiaomi model or after? TV go through couple of generations every year. You can't really compare TVs which were released after the Xiaomi model. But yeah, android TV has poor interface and you may better off with patchwall. I don't use patchwall because I hardly spend any time with user interface. I just use it to start my apps.

New update for Mi TV 4S 55" (machuca): https://android.googleapis.com/pack.../b505a2a563e83ea5c082a3d552b32b4ee2389791.zip

EDIT: It seems like they removed part of the factory menu! Settings -> Developer Settings -> Factory Menu. Now when you select "Other Options" here, it will just close. This part had interesting tools, like flashing updates and UART over HDMI (!). I'd guess you could use that to unlock the TV, and that is why they removed it.
[Android General] M47Z:

[Android General] M47Z:
@jorgemiguel4 @mr_lennsen

Edit: A step further now. I am sure you lost those settings because new firmware versions removed them. I now downgraded, and got them all back, including UART over HDMI. That's amazing!

I tried to downgrade for ages and kept failing. TV would just boot to android, that's it. Here is what I did:

- used linux for all of this, because Windows keeps adding hidden folders to usb drive (System Volume Information)

- formatted as mbr

- created 16GB (!) FAT32 partition. My usb drive is 64GB, but because originally FAT32 did not support that large volumes I went with 16GB

- moved MiTVUpgrade_6886plus-001.bin to root folder of usb, nothing else on there.

- Remove power cable from tv

- connected usb drive to the lower usb port closer to the tv screen. This one: https://postimg.cc/mzZ2F3TH

- hold power button under the tv screen, reconnected power cable while still holding power button

- goes to the upgrade screen instantly

- downgrade worked great, all seems to be working without issues

Will now try my hands on UART-over-HDMI.

I lost the settings and access to those menus after trying to use Parametric EQ, I change the 1st frequency to a higher value and can't take it back down, tried everything.

UART on HDMI: I feel like I am really close, I get text in my UART terminal, but it's still mostly scrambled. I see some clear text in there already, so it's probably just one really small setting / bug to get this to work. For now nothing useful though. A more knowledgeable friend of mine is looking at it right now, might be that him or me post an update here really soon, but of course can't promise anything.
[Android General] jorgemiguel4:
Just curious, what's the use for UART on HDMI for you?
[Android General] Rom163:
Sorry if it's a dumb question but I'm wondering when the Mi TV (or android TV if it's a general issue) is scanning for HDMI devices and whether there is any way to trigger it.

I have a Xiaomi TV 4S 65 and an HDMI soundbar (JBL SB130) connected by HDMI ARC. The soundbard is well detected and working fine. When the TV is switching on, the soundbard is correctly woken up. So I tend to think the link is working.

My problem is when the soundbard goes to sleep (after 10 min hardcoded, cannot be deactivated) and the TV is still on. In such case the TV will lose the HDMI connection to the soundbard and I have to power cycle the TV or the sound bar to fix the HDMI link again.

When it happen, if I do something related to HDMI channel (for example switching from TV to HDMI 1 where my PC is) it would find back the soundbar (even if it's on HDMI 2 which I did not switch to). So I tend to think at that moment it will scan again the HDMI devices and attempt to connect them.

Is there a way to force the Mi TV ti remember the HDMI soundbar when the soundbar is asleep or try to connect back to it automatically when somebody is operating the TV or playing sound? I have probably tried all the combination of ARC and CEC in the settings with no luck.

It seems to me that they just forgot to check if a previously connected device was still there and need to be woken up as they do when the TV is switched on or when I do something related to another HDMI channel but I might miss some fundamental Android TV cans or cannot do.

Thanks in advance for your guidance

I guess it's a trivial question, but for xiaomi mi tv 4s downgrade, the file MiTVUpgrade_6886plus-001.bin, also works in stock recovery? or as I assume it only works with twrp?

with classic "update.zip" procedure with stock recovery, it says that it does not downgrade after verifying that the version is older and refuses it "Xiaomi / machuca / machuca: 9 / PI / 3829: user / release-keys" I have installed the " machuca: 9 /4663" I believe the latest update

if to use uart, i have to remove adhesive, disassemble the tv rear panel to reach the diag port on the motherboard and invalidate the warranty, if instead i have uart interface via hdmi, you don't have to remove adhesive, you don't have to connect to the motherboard by disassembling, if you can do it not you invalidate the warranty and risk much less in carrying out all rooting modding operations and various customizations
