Hi!
I don't know somebody read this, but I try to repair my mother tv Philips 55PFS8209/12.(i am green in android tv 😅) I did factory reset from thread with WipeDataTool, and rebooting stopped. But now I have another problem. When I clicked home button to show some apps or change source then loading circle show up and after that nothing more - TV back to normal view. So I tried downgrade software but it wasn't help. I bought Mi Box S but now I can't change source from normal antenna television to Mi Box because it's still loading something when I clicked home button. Tomorrow I tried back to latest software, but I don't know where is the problem. Maybe somebody have the same problem?

Hi again, wanted to follow up on my efforts.

I found one more upgrade_loader (on top of those from @Toengel) allowing me to downgrade to Android 5.1 (QM163E_U_0.1.15.15 – Date: 2016/08/12). This one gave me some progress - TV was able to boot up and I can navigate it for about 10-15 seconds. After that, it shuts down and gets into bootloop again. It gets to launch every 5-10 times. I managed to turn off wi-fi, but it didn't help.

It's weird cause it doesn't have any problem running for long minutes during recovery updates or installing new software after. That's what makes me think it's not a problem of running for too long or something.

Do you think it might be a motherboard malfunctioning? Or maybe I could try something else? I'm running out of ideas how to fix this from the software perspective :(

PS. I'm attaching the upgrade_loader mentioned, maybe it'll help somebody.

Update: haha, waiting for the file to upload itself, the TV finally booted up and didn't shut down! I don't know if it matters, but i switched off Wi-Fi, Wi-Fi Smart Screen and reseted network settings. Fingers crossed that it'll stay this way!

Hello ,

I come back again because my PUS6561 goes in bootloops this night .... when my son try to activate the Wi-fi ( i was using ethernet only since my last bootloop year ago ) .

So i think you're right , turning on Wi-fi seems to be the problem , but you just can't turn off wi-fi ( it seems that if you do that after the first setting up of the telly , bootloop still occur ) .

What i've done to fix it again :
bootloop until recover mode appear => Flash firmware QM163E_U_0.26.70.1 ( it's the latest firmware for my telly , wich was already applied ) => when flash is done , unplug the telly for 1 hour ( i don't know why , but unplugging the telly just 10 or 15mn don't do the trick still bootloop ) => turn on telly , see ANDROID on screen ( Yay ! ) quick go to network settings and turning off ALL WI-FI associated settings . I've try reboot the telly and no bootlopp ( Yay 2 ! ) , watch netflix/youtube for at least 3 or 4 hours and no errors or black screen or telly goes bootloop ( Yay 3 ) . Turning OFF telly and turning on again => no bootloop , no error , no blackscreen , can go on netflix or hdmi sources without problems ( telly still hot ) .

I think something is causing a crash with one wi-fi settings but don't know why ...

Hallo, bin neu hier und habe selbiges Problem mit dem Bootloop. Habe den 55Pus6401 und bereits die neueste Firmware draufgespielt. Danach ging der Tv aber nur so lange bis ich in abschaltete, danach selbiger Fehler wieder. Was kann ich tun? Vielen Dank für eure Hilfe.

Mod translation: Hello, I'm new here and I have the same problem with the bootloop. Have the 55Pus6401 and already played on it the latest firmware. After that, the TV only worked until I switched it off, then the same error again. What can I do? Many thanks for your help.

    Hi guys. I’m stuck in the loop with my 43PUS6501 from 2016.

    Timeline:
    1. It got stuck around 1 year ago, wipedatatool helped, I turned the wifi off and it’s been working great with my Apple TV with Android 8 onboard.
    2. I upgraded to the latest firmware, tried out wifi, still causing problems (tv automatically restarting), so switched it off, and everything was fine.
    3. One month ago I turned the wifi on, it restarted after a few minutes, and it’s stuck in the loop ever since.

    I’m pretty sure wifi is the problem and turning it off forever would solve the issue. But I can’t fix the loop this time.

    Things I’ve tried:
    1. Wipedatatools and alternatives from different sources. Some got aborted, others worked and were successful. Changed nothing, still in the loop.
    2. Installing different versions od software from Toengel’s site via „Update with SD card”. Installations were successful, but the firmware version stayed the same.
    3. Upgrade_tool for four different firmwares (two Android 7s, two 8s). All of them successful, firmware version changed, but the loop has not been fixed.
    3. Wipdedatatools after changing the software, no changes,

    Is there anything left for me to try? I was thinking about downgradig to Android 6 or 5, but I can’t find upgrade_tools for them and it also doesn’t seem like different versions of software change anything. Another thing was to try disconnecting the network card physically inside the tv, but I’m not sure it’s possible and if it would be of any help. Any other ideas? :(

    Thanks from the mountain!

    Make sure you:
    1. Enable "developer settings" first
    2. Also enable "USB debugging" under Developer options (in terminal emulator use ADB command: am start --user 0 -n com.android.settings/.DevelopmentSettings )
    3. Use ADB Total Commander plugin to make your life easier
    4. You are good to go...

    On Philips 5500, connection over TCP with ADB worked with no problem, did reboot to recovery, wipedatatool was succesfull.

    ... but sadly it didn't work for me, after couple of minutes it did high pitched noise with full volume and restared, must be a hardware issue or something. I took to service and just hope they will repair it, because I'm hearing bad things from others.

    In the boot recovery menu I had an additional option not in the image in the first post. Cash Cleanup, or something like that, I did run but it didn't solve the problem.
