I've tried three of them:
jellyfish-40-mbps-hd-h264.mkv
jellyfish-120-mbps-4k-uhd-hevc-10bit.mkv
jellyfish-200-mbps-4k-uhd-hevc-10bit.mkv
and all plays fine.
The only problem was slow usb stick.

Exactly QM163E.
Hello everyone. I have sent my 49PUS7100/12 in service and i was asked if i want to keep my 3d feature or not. What do you think? I don't really use it. Do you still have it?
@nineoneone24 nobody pretend that you read 150 pages of forum but at least the last 5. I f you read the last five it is wrote 4 or 5 times. Enjoy
Hi,
again: passive 3D will still work, active is not possible with R-Releases... so 71x0 = 3D, 7600 no 3D...

Is it possible to enjoy 1080p on a 40PFH5500/88?
Hi,
Is it possible to enjoy kodi and utube in 1080p on a 40PFH5500/88?
I have the latest official firmware (QM152E.0.7.13.0 , android 5.1.1).
What I have done:
- searched this forum for solution, but I am confused as to what is possible and what is not advised; I tried a few things but no results
- I have tried to connect via adb after having enabled USB debugging, but could not connect
- I have tried to use wm size in a terminal emulator, but i got an exception about not having permission to set system settings
Could you please advise what to do? (or pls refer to existing step-by-step instructions that are valid for this model)

it's already playing things in 1080p, the UI is still in 720p but video playback is in 1080p - latest kodi and youtube. just download any pattern with 1pixel lines in 1080p, start it in philips media player and later on kodi. compare. 1pixel should be as crisp as in media player by philips.
No 3d after update, no more 5g wifi band, i do have hdr signal and youtube plays 4k content. Hbo Go working now. Everything is fine.
Hi,
again: 71x0/R2 WILL STILL HAVE 3D. If you have a 71x0/R2 and 3D is not present: call local Philips service and tell them, that the service forgot to install NVM software and EED software. Without them, 3D is not available/not working...
7600/R3 will never have 3D.
R1, R2 and R3 models don't have dual tuner - only single tuner.

Hi, any news with TV turning on at 4:00 and 6:00 am? I have 55PUS7170/R2, I tried to disable everything and factory reset too, but still nothing helped.. I am using power switch on the wall socket but it gets pretty anoying when I forget to swith it off
Yes, installing NVM and EED software you can affect also this problem,no only 3D issue.
BUT now TV is not awaking from STANDBY.
So I have to unplug power supply cord from socket all time I want to switch on TV.
So I'm asking to customer support for a better solution.
can anyone tell me + download link, what is the suitable Netflix apk with HDR version for my 55POD901 ?
I have called them and asked about NVM,EED software, they said that the 3d module is not longer installed on my tv. It's not that bad i don't have it, but still...
Can you share some some note from service or conformation from philips they replaced your board to R2? Today serviceman took my 7170 and he still claims that replacement isn't possible for 7170, only for 7150...I'm in Poland also, and I just got my TV (55PUS7170) back today, with the R2 board

Reniek
Hi,

Hi,
so: you had 49PUS7100/12 and got the hardware upgrade kit to 49PUS7100/R2, correct? What's written in the CSM as option codes and model number?

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)
2. General information:

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,
