Hi to all.
I've flashed my MDZ-16-AA with Android TV rom found somewhere on the Net.
Seems to work almost properly (netflix doesn't work but I don't care about it) except for the fact that i'm unable to use 4K resolution on my 4K TV.
Any advice ? Is possible to upgrade to Android TV 6 ? Currently I'm using Android TV 5.1
Can u share the rom and how to install it...i have the same mi box too and want to change to android tv
Good afternoon everyone,
I'm pretty sure this can't be done, because is blacklisted server side, but I'd want your opinion before giving up.
Is there any way to run the Netflix apps version for Android TV on non Android TV devices?
I've downloaded "Netflix (Android TV) 4.0.4 build 1716" (com.netflix.ninja_4.0.4_build_1716-1716_minAPI22(armeabi-v7a,x86)(nodpi)_apkmirror.com.apk) from APKMirror, it installs itself well, i can login, it starts but as soon as i play a movie i get this error: We're Having Trouble Playing This Title Right Now, tvq-pq-103 (1.10.5005.CODE_NOT_AVAILABLE).
I've searched in a lot of forums and it seems like nobody has been able to find a workaround.
Netflix understand that it's not running on a "certified device" and it blocks the playback.
Is there a way to bypass this?
My device is rooted so i could even change some system files, to make it look like another device.
I've got a Probox2 Air with regular Android, which is great for me, but it's a too difficult to use for my parents, with the smartphone version of Netflix and the air mouse.
In this forum the app modder simply says "Problem - Non-android TV boxes are blacklisted": http://www.wetekforums.com/v/index....ndly-apps-modified-to-work-on-regular-android
In the thread, a lot of people are in my same situation.
I've alredy tried to uninstall all the Netflix app, clear data and cache, logout and login, but it has been useless.
I really hope you can help me somehow.
If not, i think i'm going to sell the Probox2 Air and buy a Xiaomi Mi Box 3, but i'd really like to save the money and the time.
Bye!
I had the same issue and i just found a workaround which is a great solution to force HD and ultraHD on L1 and L3 widevine devices.
find bellow the link: https://forum.xda-developers.com/android/apps-games/netflix-hd-ultrahd-ultrahd-dolby-5-1-l1-t3535349

I'm sorry dude but:
- That APK doesn't seem to fix my problem. That's about forcing HD but i don't care about HD, i want the Android TV version of the app.
- It seems it has a malware in it:
I signed up just to warn you all this contains a virus.
Currently only the below file is effected.
h t t p : / / 1 9 9 . 1 7 5 . 5 3 . 2 1 / n e t f l i x l a t e s t . h d o n l y . a p k (Force Enable HD only)
Im sure he will change that seeing that im saying this now.
its a trojan

This all seems pretty suspicious to me.
Hi there,
I bought a android box trongle X8, with a great performance spec (2G RAM/ 16G ROM). However, i found a problem using Netflix as It apears the error message tvq-pb-103 (1.10.5005.CODE_NOT_AVAILABLE).
Then I did my first research on the net about the error message, I learned more about Netflix and its new way of authentication in order to stream HD and UHD using widevineCDM, classifying L1 for certified devices and L3 for non-certified devices. I found as well your post that mentioned the same error message but no solution or workaround.
Then during all the day, I tried a version of Netflix for normal android (not TV) that works but the quality was SD. and after that, I found the link I have just posted to you, and I tried it by deleting the spaces between letters and it works and the quality was HD.
I was trying to share what I find as there is limited articles and person who are talking about this issues and there is no solution.
About the link, there is no trojan, or I am not aware of it, I downloaded the tree links and used tested one by one. I kept the ultraHD and it works as mentioned by the link owner.
I wish I could help, and of course, I would like to have an Android version that will work for my device as well, so I will keep looking if there is any update.
Kind Regards,
Nass
In that case, sorry if I was suspicious. And thank you for your effort.
Could you confirm that the APK you liked is a mod for the regular version of Netflix, not the Android TV one?
The version is the regular version. the version that we use on the smartphone, which is not the same of course than the android tv version, I agree.
Ok! Thank you anyway.
Best regards.
Sadly, I've found no solutions form this problem.
I had to buy a device with Android TV, the Xiaomi Box 3, which is great for my parents.
If someone finds a workaround, please let me know, I would love to have the Android TV version of Netflix on my Probox2.
Bye!
I gave up, eventually.
I did a new research recently and I didn't find any news, it still seems there's no way to use the Android TV version of Netflix on a non Android TV device.
So I bought a Xiami Mi Box 3, which is great.
Cheap, with updated Android TV os, good performance, comfortable remote and certified by Netflix.
I've discovered there's also an Android TV version of Google Play Music that is way better than the regular one, that's pretty unusable on TV.
I too have a Xiaomi Mi box 3 on my main tv its awesome. I have a MXQ pro 4k in my bedroom I installed a custom rom I found on freaktab that runs Android TV you cant tell the difference between the two by looking at them the lower spec MXQ pro plays Kodi, Plex, YouTube and Pluto TV flawlessly however NO HD Netflix its stupid I pay for HD Netflix and have a device powerful enough to run it but They go out of their way by putting extra blocks to prevent users from using their app just doesn't make sense to me.
Hi cscott1!
Could you please leave us here the link to the custom ROM you're talking about? It would be nice to give it a try!

Yep, that's the main point of all of this matter.
My Probox2 was powerful enough to use Android TV Netflix app and HD streaming but Netflix doesn't want me to do it. That's silly. Anyway, they're the ones in command.

The fact that I couldn't find a working Netflix apk for Android TV for my uncertified device irritated me so much that I decided to make my own sort of lol you can tweak the settings of Titan BETA skin for Kodi to look and act very much like Android TV Netflix here is what you can make it look like.

Thank you for posting in this thread.
Someone will have the apk mod of 3.2.2 netflix Android TV mod from the wetek forum, mega links were canceled.
I have Magisk + hide + lioemcrypto module + L1 and L3 would like to try if this apk works, very interested in the design and not in the resolution.
Hi januxool, no, I'm sorry, I didn't save it anywhere so I haven't got it.
Remote Crontrol issues Original Netflix don't scroll episodes menus
The Netflix works with the Original Remote Control? Can I change episodes 18, 20,21 with the original remote control or I need to buy a Mini-Keyboard to scroll on netflix episode menus?
Bump.
Still no way to get this working?
I'm sure with a rooted device there's a way to trick Netflix servers into thinking I'm using a certified box.

There is....... It's called Terrarium.
H96 PRO+ Amlogic S912 Octa-Core TV Box w/ 3GB DDR3, 32GB ROM running Android 7.1.1 (preinstalled)
Display set to 1080p60 (10bit)
Network via Ethernet
I'll keep it short and sweet. How do I...
Set daylight saving time.
Change the big icons on the Launcher
Configure a UK external keyboard with the £ and the @ in the right places.
Get YouTube to display 1080p60 (I can get 1080p30 but all the 60Hz HD streams only display at 360p or 480p) - Probably needs later TV YouTube app. Phone one is a bit better but a faff to use. I need those TV remote controls.
PlayStore is the basic 'mobile/tablet' one. Is there a way of accessing the Android TV one somehow? I'm assuming because the PlayStore is basic Android, most of the apps will be designed for touch which leads me to..
BBC iPlayer's UI seems to be 'touch' only. Any idea how to get it to work with TV remote?
Any decent HD "TV remote compatible" apks for Amazon Prime Video, YouTube, BBC iPlayer?
Any other useful tips, tricks and hints to beat this thing into submission? Cheap and pretty powerful it may be but plug n play it isn't.
Hello Friends,
Regards to all reputated members of this forum. I am considerably a noob to this forums so please bear with me and my mistakes or typos. This is my first post on this forum.
I've purchased VU Iconium 4K LED TV last year in Feburary 2016. It has a pathetic VU Smart OS installed. I can't install anything on it from google play store as it allows only opera store to install apps. The stock browser is opera and really getting on to my nerves. Can't even access google play store.
Can't find out how much RAM and ROM or what other hardware specs are there in TV as it is not disclosed by the manufacturers. This company never reveals their hardware specs.
Stone age OS installed on the TV.
TV has limited inbuilt Apps and Opera App Store has limited apps too.
Can't install web browsing apps like Mozilla or Chrome.
Can't install MX Player or other apps on TV. Inbuilt Movie player is horrible and of stone age era.
Can't use keyboard and mouse with anything.
No keyboard typing support is there.
Can only use the remote provided with the TV.
No firmware updates from the company so far.
TV quality is marvelous but the OS is a big disappointment.
My question to experts is, how can I install Apk's on my TV?
Any possibility to "ROOT" it? How can I root a LED TV? I haven't found any tutorials online. Neither on YouTube nor on Google Search.
Possibility to install Another OS on my LED TV? May be a full fledged Android OS, if yes, How can I do it?
Is there any expert and dedicated group that Hacks/Roots SMART 4K TV interfaces? If so, can someone please direct me to that forum or website? I've searched the forums and I've only encountered Hacking and rooting TV dongles/boxes but nothing on SMART TVs interfaces.
I hope you guys could help me out. I really detest this OS from VU and would like to be able to utilize the full potential of my 4k TV. Any help on this is really really appreciated.

Hello Friend. Thanks for your response. But I don't know anything about jiajia games app. Would like to know more about it. But presently I'm focusing on how to update my TV firmware. I'm more interested in flashing or changing the OS of my TV. I have figured out one thing that the company VU Luxuary Televisions in India is selling HISENSE TV models with their branding on them. I have confirmed that LTDN55XT780XWAU3D 4K ULED TV this is a HISENSE model which they don't sell and support in USA. I was actually looking for latest firmware update from HISENSE for this model. But the chat executive told me that this model is no longer supported in USA. Is there any way I can get a HISENSE latest firmware update for this model?
Any update on this?.
I also bought this TV and now I am stuck with it.
The company thinks having YouTube means it's a smart tv
which model

SO I FOUND A THREAD ON QOURA AND THE PERSON BELONGED TO THE FIELD OF INSTALLING AND REPAIRING TV SAID THAT THE COMPANY VU DOES NOT
GIVE FIRMWARE ON ANY SITE AND YOU MUST CONTACT THEM AND THEN THEY WILL SEND YOU THE UPDATE VIA EMAIL.
I AM FACING THE SAME ISSUE IN MY VU 43BU114 (SAME ICONIUM SERIES ) AND WILL TRY IT OUT
HI, i am facing the same issue. the Vu tv hardware is based on mt5861 chipset.
the os is generic android based on 4.4.3 version.
MTK Generic Android on mt5861 - Geekbench
Benchmark results for a MTK Generic Android on mt5861 with an ARM MT5861 processor.

Can we install new available TV OS on this?

Hi Babajitheone,
Any reply from VU Team. Did you upgraded your TV. I Have VU 43BU113.
Hi everyone,I have the same VU iconium 4k Android tv model(43BU113).I am having the same issue it's totally waste of money .One thing that I can suggest you that you should buy a "Amazon fire TV stick 4k".It will be a better option as you will connect with the fire TV stick with your HDMI port with your VU tv and make your TV the Real time 4k tv and having unlimited apps in the fire tv .It will be worth if you'll buy it!
@admin : Hopefully this is the correct section I am posting to, else please move. Thank you
So, I had bought Onida 43" Smart TV back in 2016 as it was one of those first Android TVs in India. However looking at actual Android TV OS , you can make out that they literally ported phone OS (4.4.4) onto this TV and make it "Android TV". The ROM is also one of the developer ROMs that was ported without any end testing. Now with regular app updates TV has slowed down and apps crash often. TV in itself has never received any update from manufacturer and customer care has no idea what "update" for the TV is.
So can a clean wipe be performed and current ROM be replaced with pure Android TV ROM instead?
Thank you
Finally found a lag free ROM from a LCD/LED repair center. The lag and freeze issues have resolved after the update. TV is still on 4.4.4 but now a new list of problems have started, power button on TV has become inactive and TV now responds to Channel Down as Power On/Off. Remote control Power On/Off button no longer responds. Rest all works perfectly fine. Just my luck
Hello! I too have an onida 'live genius' android 4.4.4 tv.
my device says that it is an mstar android tv.
I'd like to upgrade it 5.0 but I couldn;t find any info on it.
does anyone have a custom recovery for this tv?
or a 5.0 ROM?
(noob here)
EDIT: How to enter recovery?
