Hello Everyone.
I have 70pus8535 with newest possible software (may 2022). Since last 2 months after every night in "standby mode" i have to reset it/disconnect cable otherwise apps ( like disney+, youtube or netflix ) won't start or freezes. I've tried force stopping apps and cache cleaning - only after reset everything works fine. Any idea what can be the issue?

Trying to find a replacement for my
55PUS7503 AV-Board 715G8579-M0D-B01-005T
I found a board for a
43PUS7393 AV-Board 715G8579-M0F-B01-005T
to replace it.
I was quite certain it should work and it does, but the screen looks like this:
An upgrade_loader.pkg to TPM171E_107.1.143.0_upgrade_loader.zip for the 55PUS7503 did not fix this problem. However the TV still thought to be a 43PUS7393.
So I am wondering if writing an NVM.bin file for the 55PUS7503 would fix it. What do you think? Can someone supply this file?
Update: I solved it and the TV runs as expected. One needs to install the appropriate NVM.BIN file to the new board so it has correct settings. However... there is no site to download these files and you need to contact Philips support.
I have attached the NVM.bin file I have been using.

I recently (today) bought a 58PUS8507 mainly because of its advertised timeshift feature. But whenever I press the pause button, I receive a notification saying "this feature isn't supported." I tried with multiple flash and hard drives. Has anyone run into this issue before? Thanks
Hi,
hmm - should work. Maybe you need also to set the language to a supported country...

Hello,
I have a Philips 50pus8505 android TV. I'm trying to set the resolution to 1440p for playing PC games but when doing that I can see an annoying message like "Video format not supported" in the right down corner of the TV. This is because the TV only supports natively 1080p or 4K but not 2K (1440p). Do you know if it's possible to remove that message? The image shows correctly, only the message is disturbing me.
Thanks.

Hey guys i have philips PUS5807 and it has Philips remote app which able to turn it ON/OFF via Wifi only.
I thought that its a simple WOL but not.
Is anybody knows what philips using to turn TV on ?
I wanna install this app and connect with SIRI to switch it on/off by voice commands.

I have pretty much the same problem as the poster here. I've got a 65pfl5604/f7. I got prompted to do the Android 11 upgrade last week. It is now stuck boot looping at the Philips logo. I tried the "hold down the volume down button" while it turns on trick but nothing happens.
I called the customer support number and their only recommendation was to try unplugging it and replugging it in. When that didn't work and they realized it was over a year old, they told me I was out of luck.
The link in that post gives me "File moved or missing" when I try to download it.
When I go to here: https://www.usa.philips.com/c-p/65PFL5604_F7/5000-series-android-tv/support
I get a PDF with instructions, but that Mediafire link is gone too! It is like Philips has a conspiracy to make this tougher.
Does anyone have a link to a good firmware for the PFL5604 series? Right now I've got a perfectly good screen but the TV won't even turn on

1Hi,
send me an email (see blog) and please attach a photo of the plate (sticker) from the back of your TV...

I second that request. If someone can host the file it would be greatly appreciated! -
13Guys! To disable Philips Collections bar or also known as Philips Apps Tray at top of Android TV leanback launcher. All you have to do is find leanbackcustomizer in System Apps or Running Apps and turn off its notifications which can be turned off at button of the menu when you click on the service.
I couldn't find a single source which mentioned these steps to take to disable Philips bloatware. I figured these out on own. I am not aware of any other methods that has the same results.
Enjoy your less of a pain Android TV by Philips
Hope this helps.

To disable recommendations, disable org.droidtv.nett_launcherapp in system apps or running apps. Hope this also helps debloat your Philips Android TV to a manageable level. However, this doesn't get rid of the recommendations field only apps that shows up.11firmware decryption + rooting attempts
#################################
WARNING: don't look at the following information nor try to use any of it if you have no clue about linux or android as it is most likely that you are going to break your expensive gadget. For every one else: don't blame philips if you brick your device -> think before actually trying. If you post about vulnerabilities and stuff better cover your ass - who knows what the legal department of philips thinks about your cool stuff.
#################################
So as you decided to ignore my warning, here we go:
I already spent plenty of time researching the internals of the device in order to get root privileges. Unluckily without the final breakthrough - but at least I found out some very interesting details.
You might ask what those extended privileges should be good for? Well in my eyes android - a project available as open source with uncountable possibilities for developers and users - should not be closed down by profit oriented manufacturers. As those are often forcing the users into their own "crappy" software without given them any chance to escape. I like to develop at system base, use the underlying linux tools and most important check what the manufacturer does (behind my back) in my own living room. Hell I bought this expensive device and have no idea and can't nearly control what is sent to Philips nor Google.
1. I wrote a tool to decrypt the official firmware. It was created via reverse-engineering the "upgrade.bin" arm-file (thanks for the trace, snoerenberg).
Some interesting details about the used cryptography:
- openssl library functions
- used algorithm: aes-256 in CBC mode
- the encryption key is generated via "EVP_BytesToKey" using only the first 127 byte of the keyfile + an eight byte salt found near the beginning of every input file
Source-Code: attachment or pastebin_com / z3nA2r3J
maybe mirroring this paste and the source would be a good idea (Google for the HASH if link is down)
The decrypted firmware archive contains the following files:
boot.img.zip: kernel + initrd + ramdisk (unknown file format)
bootloader.zip: bootloader (unknown file format)
tzk_normal.img.zip: ? maybe recovery (unknown file format)
user_setting.zip: content of /user_setting
system.img.zip: content of /system (ext4-img)
firmware.img.zip: content of /firmware (ext4-img)
BackEndBin.zip, EdidBin.zip, fpgaUhdBin.zip, RougeBin.zip: different binary files - supposedly firmware for these components
As you see I was not able to extract the most interesting part (kernel + ramdisk) - Hopefully some android experts could help!
The current and some older firmware files could be downloaded at philips_samipupu_com (thanks for hosting)

3. The trcext module seems to be very interesting as a short look with a disassembler revealed that it might be able to read and manipulate process memory of any process. Maybe someone good at kernel-drivers could take a look?
4. There are two world-readable directories containing very interesting information:
- /data/debugdump: stack-traces, process-lists, short memory excerpts based on crashes of the native binaries (could be very helpful for exploiting)
- /data/anr: davlik crash-dumps of android applications
5. There are 3 SGUID and 1 SUID binaries (visible):
-rwxr-s--- root inet 5500 netcfg
-rwxr-sr-x root net_raw 26072 ping
-rwsr-s--- root shell 9464 run-as
6. The recovery menu which could be used to install a "new" firmware if the device does not boot properly could be reached via the following steps:
- unplug the power
- press and hold the joypad on the backside of the TV downwards
- replug
- release the joypad after 10 sec
7. There is a Customer-Service-Menu at “123654” which contains read only information about the current firmware and so one. However there is also the real service menu (062?96i) which could be used for much more things. But you need to be really careful with this, i already managed to break booting without changing something important.
8. The settings-app calls the "su" command inside of CSMActivity. If this is no obsolete debug code (i was not able to trigger this part yet) than there could be a "su" inside /sbin. The Manifest also shows this strange "org.droidtv.tv.tv_power_system_access" permission. Therefore i tried to write my own app with the same permission and call "su" which did however not work out (even if I use the same namespace org.droidtv.?)
9. Every time you pop in an usb stick android creates an backup folder on it. The filenames are "hidden" via base64 and there are some junk bytes at the beginning of the files which you need to crop in order to read them. However the content is quite boring mostly some sqlite3 databases with configuration parameters.
10. By default the usb sticks you plug in is read-only for user apps. However there is in option in the settings to re-format it. This will result in an XFS formatted, read-write mounted stick where you could even outsource your apps.
11. There is a soap (http) service running on port 1925 which is used by the philips remote app and allows different things for example starting one of the installed apps. More details could be found if you decompile the XTV-App.
Hope some of you guys could do something fancy with those information.
@snoerenberg(xda): did you manage to send commands over your cable yet - If you do rooting should be quite easy from this point (maybe /system/bin/run-as).
Cheers,
