Hi Guy,
I recently buy a Android TV Philips PUS7909. It's an android tv based with 4.2.2 on board, unfortunatly Philips make the choice to block LOTS of android function...
I can't install unallowed apps, enabling dev mod....
I just want to know if someone here have this tv, or another philips android tv, and if someone can root it etc etc
Yes i know, it's not even christmas , but maybe someone can do amazing thing on android tv, specially on xda !
Hi,
I've a 48PFS8159 and could not find a way too.
My dream is the possibilty to install kodi/xbmc !
And something like Retroarch with the possibility to connect a dualshock
I too have a PUS7909/12 Android TV and I was disappointed by several things, one of them being unable to install most of Store apps. Rooting would be great as at least it would allow to install .apk files.
New update for this tv soon :
The new Firmware will soon be live.
AND1E_0.9.32.118 (Date published: 2014-11-21)
• HDMI EDID adaptions for Full HD <-> Ultra HD interoperability ( DISCONNECT HDMI cables before starting the upgrade)
• 3D fixes
Maybe we can do something with the update files.....
Should Philips provide the source code of its Android implementation? Are they under the obligation to provide it?

Hi,
I read one comment from Finnish netshop, it's for 55pus8809 model:
1. Install "Developer Tools" from play shop
2. Choose "Developer settings"
3. Switch developer options "on"
4. And "Show more apps in Google Play"
5. Reboot TV
Install "Set orientation" from play to orientation problems, switch "Landscapen" on.
I don't have Philips TV, but planning to buy one
Here is link to source, I don't know how it works...

Lähetetty minun Nexus 5 laitteesta Tapatalkilla
I tried this, and it's true that some more apps are shown. Would be great to load apk files, but there is no "unknown sources" option...
I have the Philips 48PFS8109.
Developer options are enabled, but there is just no way to enable 'unknown sources'.
With the Google Search function the Settings options is not showing (it works on phones if you search settings)
Not a single application is compatible that gives me a shortcut to settings.
If i try to install an .apk file i get the message you need to go to settings and allow it. There is an Settings and Cancel, but if i press on settings nothing happens.
Does someone know a way to call up the settings menu with Therminal Emulator?
I already updated the tv but do you guys think its possible to just add an .apk file in the .upg file?
I can change the .upg to .zip and add an app in the system folder.

Hi,
that sounds good
I had a look into the updater-binary (firmware/manual/ambilight-fix update zip file) and the firmware is, as we already know, encrypted.
When you have a look with IDA Demo (hex-rays.com) you can see that the encryption key is taken from: "/res/keyfile.txt" which must remain somewhere on the TV.
AES-256-CBC is used and the key/IV is somehow, depends on the content of the keyfile.txt, MD5 sum of the content lines (e.g. one for key, one for IV).

I was on vacation for two weeks and i don't check this topic and what the hell is going on !
What a surprise for me to see what you do here !
Thanks a lot guys !
-----EDIT-------
The method to allow unknow source and install apk via adb working, thank you !
Tryed to install xbmc/ kodi but the launch and just crash, so bad. But that sound good !
-----EDIT 2------
There is a bluetooth option..... i can't connect my dualshock 3 on the tv because we need root for sixaxis controller app..... let's go to install some emulator !
------EDIT 3------
So... After some test, i was able to connect the duaslhock 3 controller in usb, BUT not all touch is recognised. So i can't play Mario Bros on Retroarch. I think i need another controller.
Kodi v14 lastest nightly boot but crash at home screen.
That's all for the moment !

Someone have try to install a video player that can handle 4K files ?
I have the '48PFS8109/12' and tryed also some things.
- 13.2 Gotham XBMC (kodi) not working, my tv starts the app and after a few seconds the app crashs and the tv volume goes to 60.
- Kodi 14.0 “Helix” – RC 2 not working, my tv starts the app and after a few seconds the app crashs and the tv volume goes to 60.
- Kodi 14.0 “Helix” – Nightly not working, my tv starts the app and after a few seconds the app crashs and the tv volume goes to 60.
I use 'MX Player' with the DTS codec, i don't know if that player can handle 4K, i know that they say KODI can do 4K.
I wrote a batch script that allows you to install Kodi apk (Hacked icon)
Install NES EMU Emulator; A Nintendo (Old School) Emulator along with 700 games whichh you can play with Fire TV Remote, just need to configure the emulator
Install SNES9x; A Super Nintendo Emulator along with 15 Super Nintendo games which you can also with Fire TV remote - also needs to config the emulator
Installs Fire Starter which allows you to just press home button to take you to installed apps
It is in a .rar archive
Just unzip and run KODI.BAT
Be sure to enable adb and unknown apps in developer settings before running bat file.
Type IP address of Fire TV or Stick when batch file asks for it
Press enter and sit back while the script does all the work for you!

You can play with the remote? Can you flip it on its side to make it more like the nes controller?
Im not 100% clear on this... Do you have a preliaded skin that supports emulators with fan art? Sounds interesting though.

The emulator is not within Kodi, but an App on the fire TV.
I suppose you can flip the remote. But when you open emulator, you will need to go into options to turn off the onscreen keyboard, go to input devices so you can map the keys to your remote, then go go load games and choose the roms-nes folder to find the games. Same applies to the snes. Also, it is best to change the options, video options and set aspect to full screen.

Yes with nes.emu you can program the remote so once the app Is open you can use it sideways.

Just an fyi its not a good idea to distribute roms , because now your hosting illegal content from your copy.com account. I know every one does it but I wouldn't "openly" host it.

Does this include ROMs? I was under the impression that it was merely a script to make the Fire TV remote work with certain Nintendo emulators.
EDIT: Never mind, I just saw the title. You do realize that what you are distributing could get you into trouble?
Thanks
So this would work with the Fire Stick and FS Remote as well?
Script not working for me. Stuck at 'System cannot find the batch label specified - color'. Also can we replace the kodi apk version to 16 before running the script?

Reference: https://www.vpnranks.com/how-to-install-kodi-on-firestick/
I hope the above mention solution can be helpful to you for the proper installation of kodi on Fire TV or Firestick
I have an old Gen 1 firestick that has latest kodi on it and an iptv service as well as some other addons, and all works fine allbeit slow sometimes, so i upgraded to the latest and great 4k version with all it's audio spying gumf, however if i remember rightly there was a "fair" bit involved in getting to the stage to allow kodi to go on and run the add ons, is this still the case with the 4k version because all the links i have seen point to something called "Aptoide TV and this seem to allow you to run kodi and stuff like that but it also seems a gateway to other add ons and i don't want that i just to root/jailbreak the stick throw kodi on and install the addons i know i like or just instal kodi and away you go which in my simple mind means no jailbreaking is needed is it that simple nowadays?
Aptoide is just a 3rd party app store
There's two ways you can get any app onto a firestick that I use
1 - adb via pc
2 - adb via app on phone
If using option one download app to pc & also get adb set up (there's loads of guides about adb so Google that)
Enable adb on the firestick in dev options
Note down the ip address of the firestick from about device section
In a command prompt on pc type
adb connect ip_of_firestick
adb devices
adb install nameofapp.apk
For option two
Download app to phone
Download apps2fire from playstore
Enable adb on firestick in dev options
Note down firestick ip addres
Enter firestick ip address in apps2fire settings
Select arrow at top to install app
Navigate to where apk is
Note that apps2fire may fail on first connection - just connect again & it should work

The local dealer installed Waze and a radio app on it so there must be a way to install other apps as well. Any idea of an alternative access method or what to try next?

It's terrible, I'm warning ⚠ you in my post
so you have 2 ways:
1. Hard: find a good radiomechanic or mobile phone fixer man and give your device to him and show this instructions https://www.drive2.ru/l/523031635092832690/
Than wait...
2. Easy: goes to hyundai dealer and said that "I woked up in the morning, got my, start the engine and saw hyundai logo... It's warranty!"
So, if I'm will be on your place - I'm choosed second way
hello
thank you.. i wait an answer from my cc.
Apk not compatible
Hi,
Thanks zavpasha for all the procedure !
Working as a driver, I wonder if an app like " uber driver" could run onto this tablet.
I did the test by launching the .apk and very quickly an error says the package is not compliant.
Versions of this app are available here:
www apkmirror com/apk/uber-technologies-inc/uber-driver/
Question: could it help to setup in developper + debug mode ?
Cheers

Nope, Uber needs newest Android version, so in our multimedia old Android 4.4.2
I have a 2015 Santa fe Sport ultimate package. Any hacks for this AVN system?
I'm trying to find information about a multimedia system i have installed in my Skoda, the sticker on the device says CNT100, which is manufactured by CarNeTek (device page - https://www.carnetek.com.tw/products_detail/15.htm, not sure if they are the manufactures or just a reseller).
The company which sell and install it locally are not willing to share any information about the device, and of course are not willing to unlock it (to install applications from the play store, tweak configuration, etc.).
On the device there are 6 dip switches (which i couldn't figure out what they control), and no visible button (to get into recovery), i can get to the play store, and install applications - but as soon the installation is completed - they get uninstalled (there is a list of application that are not automatically uninstalled).
The launcher looks like a custom local version, there is no way to get into the settings page and the notification bar cannot be clicked (or dragged down), if i click multiple times on the menu - i get a dialog for some configuration, where i'm prompt for password (the dialog has a random number on it - which i suspect is used to generate correct password).
is anyone familiar with this device? or can suggest a way to unlock it?
(attached images of the device and the boot screen)
Hey mrtowel!
Trying to figure out that as well.
You said "if i click multiple times on the menu"
Where is this menu? possible to send a photo of that?
I'm talking about an Israeli version
Seems to be customized by [email protected]
sorry but i was wrong describing the way to get to the password dialog, on the home screen - there is a weather widget, showing the weather on the left side and the clock on the right side, multiple taps on the weather allows you to reboot the device, while multiple taps on the clock gets you to the password dialog.
I made some progress with the device - still working on getting it unlocked completely, let me know if you want more details.

Hey!
Just found that new to me. Pushed 6 times on the clock of the weather widget and got a prompt for the password. I receive a 9 digit number with that.
Also found that if you do the same on the temperature indication, you'll be prompt for device restart.
So that's a progress.
Anyways, I will be happy to hear from you, what progress you have made on this.
Will send you a PM.
Did someone have any success?

try to get to app store (in case it is installed) through one of the installed apps using the 'rate us' option, you can also try and push a play store link through bluetooth, if it works - the android system will launch the play store app, and you'll be able to setup your account.
Once you get to the play store - download and install Googel app (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.google.android.googlequicksearchbox&hl=en) this will let you ask google assistant to 'Open Display Settings' (in my case this option let me enable the drag down menu, where i could easily access the settings and other stuff).
hope that helps
?
Hey did you succeed?
please help
Hi
did any one of you had any success with getting into setting menu ?
i can get to google play...but as was posted before, everything i try to install immediately erase itself.....
does any one have the approved app list from ituran ?
i do believe that together we can crack this....
thanks
Thanks for the tips I've made it to download youtube! But how I can bypass the limit to install all apps from play store?
Also how can I cancel the restrictions of using apps during drive?
Thanks
Allon
Hey @mrtowel any change you can share some more details?
I tried connecting to the USB with my laptop to try doing some adb commands but it did not detect anything
I'm also wondering about the dip switch
and how to get the password bypass
Would really like to hear some more details if you can share please?
Just came here to see if can recall my steps from last time i played with the device (i kind of gave up, as it worked well with what there is, but recent update made it work really slow).
turns out there is a post on facebook (https://facebook.com/groups/gilcar/permalink/729881061134680/?comment_id=729883497801103), i'm going to try and build some utility to generate unlock codes (last time, i managed to get to an adb terminal, but i wasn't aware of the `pm hide` option to disable the installation blocker ****).
will post updates here if i get some progress
For anyone interested, attached the list of whitelisted apps. a jar to generate the code to enable tech mode and how i disabled the installation blocker
For the jar - you would need to get your device Wifi MAC address (see old post from 2019 on how to enable the navigation bar), which can be retrieved from the 'אודות' section. (run the jar by running 'java -jar codeGen_jar.jar 00:11:22:33:44:55' - replace the numbers with your device mac address)
Wifi must be enabled - before the next step
To get to the code, hit few clicks on the clock widget in the home screen would prompt you with a password (if the code generator matches your version of connect-it (if it isn't - see bypass admin mode workaround below), the codes would match), enter the unlock code (admin mode result from the codeGen output) and move to the apps section - you would see 'tech mode' application.
Wifi must be connected before the next step
On the tech mode application - you would have another code (tech mode result from the codeGen) enter it - and it would open a page to enable adb remote server (you must be connected to a wifi network to get it to work).
Connect to the adb using a remote shell from another device (or a laptop), to the specified IP on port 1917 (note that most mobile tethering options won't work due to networking limitations). If you don't have an accessible wifi network - see Wifi Workaround below
From adb, run the following:
to disable the application which blocks installations: pm hide com.ituran.installationblocker
Disable updates: pm hide com.ituran.systemupdateservice
Disable blocking applications while driving: pm hide com.ituran.driveusagemonitor
Tips:
While in admin mode, you can see all installed applications, and pin them to the start page of the home screen, recommend to pin Play Store app (as it is usually hidden)
Don't try to enable or enter 'Guest mode' (i tried it, and the device went into boot loop)
The codes generated are date sensitive, so either generate new ones if you won't use them in the same day, or change the device date.
Wifi Workaround : a workaround can be to install modified version of 'Remote ADB Shell' (attached) on the device, save it to your mobile phone, and push it to the device through bluetooth, this version is the same version as 'Remote ADB Shell' from the play store - only names 'Spotify' which will keep it installed on the device, after installation, run it and connect to 127.0.0.1 on port 1917 instead.
Bypass admin mode workaround : while Admin Mode enables you to view the hidden applications, in the above process, it mainly gives you the option to run the tech mode app. if the code for the admin mode isn't working for you, install 'Amaze file explorer' (attached - it was renamed to bypass the installation blocker) by pushing it through bluetooth.
You can find more details on this facebook post (not mine - but i used details from this thread to figure out how to disable the application from ADB)
Enjoy and drive safely.
