Hello there,
I have a TV from 2017 I think (Phillips 43PFG5501/77) which comes with Android 5.1 aparently, and I am wondering if its possible to install the Android TV 13 OS on this device.
I think this TV comes with Android TV with a layer of personalization from Phillips. What can happend if I try to flash this device?
Since I am having many problems with Cast to TV, I thought about installing a more generic version of Android TV...
Is it possible to do this?
Hi,
there is no "alternative version" for TVs ... so you cannot install a different software than Philips own ATV...
But you can connect a HDMI device with a more recent ATV version.

i mean, you have chance....
1st. you need root permissions
2nd. copy from your TV all native (Philips) apk
3rd. i never seen custom rom for Philips andorid TV, you chance is your own Android build for your TV...here try this "walkthrought" https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/guide-how-to-create-your-own-custom-rom-an-easy-way.2195858/
4th. good luck

Are you leaving in clouds ?
I? ...no...maybe user MNRP90 when he wants android 13 in a device with android tv 5. I wrote general solution (without writing driver modules builded to kernel, dvb-api...etc), it isn´t easy solution, but not unreal. I don´t know dev skills of MNRP90...if you know an easier solution, publish it and stop hating me ;-)

You would need a fully unlocked bootloader & although most AFTV devices have been rooted at different FW version. Only some first year FTV1's with early FW where capable of being Fully bootloader unlocked. I am lucky enough to own 4 of them.
There have been multiple new methods to root AFTV(S)'s. But no new methods of unlocking their bootloaders. So for now changing the OS on AFTV(S)'s is not going to happen.

Although there is no way to replace the FireOS. If you have a rooted FTV1 & eventually other rooted FTV devices. You will be able to change the UI. Just keep an eye on this project.

It should make your FTV function as close to an AndroidTV device as possible.
Y314K I was just given a Fire TV box 1st gen and was able to root and fully unlock the bootloader. I have TWRP installed, and since I'm just using this box for exploring alterations I was wondering if it is possible to completely replace the fire os with a pure android os? I'm having trouble finding tutorials and wondered if you could tell me if it is possible and if you know of any resources of tutorials? What do you run on your FTV 1 boxes? Any other suggestions for tinkering?

The above is still the closest option so far. There where a couple of projects a few years ago which you can find here on XDA where developers started to make a Cyanogen 12 & other FW options for FTV1's with unlocked bootloader. But development faded once only a small percentage of FTV1's where capable of having their bootloaders unlocked. And none of the other devices have that capability.
Most mods now are just launcher changes & Amazon service deactivation for a leaner FireOS. But every option still has FireOS as it's base. The AFTV2ATV project does the most changes over all.
You can find the old projects under both development sections.

Anything that could be run on a FTV2 can also be ported or modded for a FTV1.
Does anyone know when we'll get a new custom Rom for the Fire TV Stick 2 running Lineage OS? I've looked through their website and found roms for Android TV devices. I know its going to take awhile until the development has finished. If any android developer wants to create a new OS on the Fire TV, this is a good start doing so since the Mediatek exploit is so easy to follow :good:

It's been many years and no one has made one for any of the Fire TV devices. So, probably not any time soon? When the first fire tv box was first rooted and unlocked I worked on it, but never quite got it finished. I don't really see any point, especially because there's quite a few instructions on how to get the play store and friends working on stock software.
@rbox just out of curiosity what is required to do this?. Can you do a basic explanation how the process works eg would require mapping remote control and identifying chipset devices etc. I have no idea.

The same as porting lineage to any device. You have to create a lineage device tree for the device. Figure out all the random settings you need. All the random blobs you need. Figure out how to make the kernel compile with everything lineage needs. And then pray it compiles into a workable image.

Yes I see. Just watched this setup guide https://youtu.be/99LUjX63LhU
Thanks mate!
Hi peeps. I know this has probably been answered a few times but I'm still trying to get my head around all the models and firmware versions. What does what etc
Ive just got mine 5 weeks ago. It's running on V8-R851T02-LF1V307.013836 I'm guessing that's version 307? I have seen newer versions but nothing official. The firmware on this is awful. Kicks me out of apps. Won't load some apps. Laggy. So let down by this. Any news on Android 10 or any updates I can do to make it better
Thanks
I've just been on their website went to downloads software and the version it said was the latest was v363 so why won't my TV update to the latest version. Is there a way I can install from TV memory not a usb flash drive. I haven't got 1 to hand
You can try to put it in the root of internal storage and see what happens after local update or boot update (depends on .zip or .img)

Where have you found the latest firmware? Can you share the link?
EDIT: Nevermind, I found it already.
Hi, from where did you find the software update v363 to download? Could you please share the link.
https://4pda.ru/forum/index.php?showtopic=973246&view=findpost&p=97613600
Here are all found firmware versions.
I recommend everyone to flash 379. For me its the best firmware so far. System is very fast, HDR is finally OK, before this only mode that hdr was watchable was PC, in all others colours and faces were blown and washed. Now i can happily watch HDR content on Standart, dynamic, smart hdr or any other mode, depends on taste. Also, IPTV apps are working perfect. Before this i would get deinterlacing or decoding issues with some HD channels, only mx player would be able to play those. Now its perfect, every single channel works as it should. This TV now performs better than my old Mi box 3, i didnt really expect that when buying. I dont use netflix, so cant comment on that, but i do use Amazon Prime, and it is working well. Audio and subtitles are in sync, i get no freezes or such.
V378 is now available on the official website. I just flashed it via USB. The automatic update does not seem to work.
Can you share me the link where I can download the latest version?
Hi.
I only find V378, where did you find V379?
Thanks.

Hello there, I was wondering if its possible to root this television
I have Android 10 on it and would like to stay on it (I hope root also disable anoying update notifications) since I have my Galaxy S10+ on Android 10 as well and this tv came sluggish from the store, so if I update it it will probably be even slower
I have my Samsung Galaxy S10+ rooted with Magisk, so I was wondering if I can root this television with magisk as well
I found a guide on youtube:
but not sure if it will work on my Philips, I read it has MediaTek MT9602 SoC (not sure if this is only CPU or also TV/SAT Tuner) and read somewhere on XDA that because of Mediatek root is not possible or something
Now, how to recover if something goes wrong? Does it have a some download mode like my Samsung (where I just reinstall OS with odin in Download Mode as long as I don't f**ck the bootloader I am fine there)
Thanks for Anwsering and Best Regards

There aren't any custom ROMs or ways to install a custom ROM on any Fire TV television.
Your best option is to buy a stand alone streaming device and use that instead of the television's built-in OS.
