Hello everyone,
im new here, have a problem with my TV.
Years ago i got this TV from a philips rep, it was demo TV for presentations so i got it cheap, around 300 euros.
It never wanted to update, every version i downloaded on USB said whole file signature error, OTA never worked.
Few days ago it snowed heavily and power went out, when i turned TV back on it never went past philips logo on screen.
Tried few different QM163E updates from toengel site, only one started but never went past Installing Software screen, no animation.
Red light in philips logo below screen is slowly blinking, never stopping. Version of my TV i got from my old phone when i was searching for updates.
Version: QM163E.0.1.13.10
Release Notes: QM16XE_U-userdebug 5.1 LMY47D 77 test-keys
Creating Date: May 4 2016
What i would like to know is, is it worth to keep searching for solution and if any of you possibly know it.
Thank you

I got this thinking I am buying the best machine available for streaming and from day once , have been plagued by problems.
First on opening the unit, the AC adapter was faulty. It turned out to be a piece of plastic stuck between the contacts.
Anyway I solved that problem on my own as shipper refused to entertain any claims outside the USA.
Then when it finally got going, I noticed most apps had loading circles going around, and were waiting to download. Tried everything possible and they would not move ahead . Finally cleared cache and data on the Google Play Store app and the app started downloading for precisely one application then it stopped and again same circling. I had to clear data on the Play store app every time to update each and every app on the machine.
Then i couldnt find my favorite apps in the app store. Turns out , Shield does not support. Ok, no problem, i said lets compromise and move on.
Downloaded MX Player Pro from the Play Store and sat down to watch a 1080p movie on the USB drive and again the loading circle popped up on the screen. Buffering on a 1080p file from a usb 3.0 flash drive !!! I copied the file onto the HDD and again the same problem. I had no idea how to watch this movie, BTW had watched it a night before perfectly on my Alphawise H96 Pro+.
Then one by one all the apps started crashing.
I decided to do a factory restore which lasted 2,5 hours. After restore, same problem, all apps crashing.
I do not have anything connected to the Shield , no usb drive. no air mouse, nothing. Both ports are empty.
The surprising thing is even Google play store crashes , also the Lean back Launcher and the system crashes.
I called up Nvida support and they say we do not support the Shield as you are not in the USA. Guys, even the chinese from Aliexpress support you and give a replacement if item is faulty. All they ask is a video showing the problem. In todays times, there are going to be non us customers buying from the Usa, you need to support them also.
Stuck with a Lemon.
Cannot even sell it off as whoever buys it from me will throw it back in my face. The dam thing is just a few days old.
Havent slept three nights, trying to solve the problem, got finally tired and have connected the Alphawise to the TV and Shield goes back into the box
There are lots of other people complaining about similar issues but no fixes from Nvidia ?
If someone can please suggest something which I can try, I will be highly obliged. Else I am stuck with a $300 paper weight.
I did a Full Reset (2.5 hours) once and a Fast reset , hoping it would solve the problem. But no luck.
Please help, someone, please.
Wow, that sounds like a whole lotta suck.
Sorry to hear you had such hardship.
My Pro model had the blurry Recommendations section, which was a symptom of the faulty harddisk, for ages (before I knew about the mass RMA they had) and, one day, the Shield stopped responding to input, even from the capacitive power button on the device itself.
So I pulled the plug but it wouldn't turn back on afterwards.
I applied for a replacement here:
https://nvidia.custhelp.com/app/home
Where'd you get yours?
I'd purchased mine as soon as it was released through the US Amazon - I couldn't wait the extra month or so for it to be released in Europe
Despite this, they processed the replacement. I sent it off to the Netherlands, if I recall correctly, and they returned the refurbished unit shortly afterwards, which has been working fine ever since; all the useless recommendations load quickly and there's no slow down or stuttering like I'd experienced before. I also got a new controller in the box with it and an EU plug. :good:
Anyways, my point is that it shouldn't matter where it was purchased. Try that link and see if you can't get it sorted.
I wish you the best!

I have the 2017 shield pro. and all though I wouldn't say it has been a nightmare, it hasn't been without its problems; such as apps randomly not responding with a message saying close the app or wait...slow down of apps opening at all to include settings not opening...streaming apps to include Netflix not playing or simply force closing...even Leanback Launcher stopping with the message Leanback Launcher has stopped...close or wait....I finally bit the bullet after posting on this forum and getting no response and did a wipe of data and dalvic from TWRP and re-flashed the 6.1 or 6.2 firmware. It seems to be running smooth so far. Got my shield from amazon. wouldn't expect this many problems from a $300 device that claims to be the best on the market. When it works without problems it is a great device!
Hope you get it sorted out. If nothing else works, it may be worth it to fastboot boot TWRP if you have an unlocked bootloader...wipe data and dalvic and install the 6.1 firmware update.
Real sorry to here you had so many problems Mate. Hope they sort it for you ....But if they fail to deliver (which they really should not, Take no excuses from them ,Polite but firm)
You have the option to get a Donner clone from a thread based in these forums ,along with further help in the threads below.

I would almost Guarantee that it is your Hard drive at fault ...as your descriptive clearly points to this as the culprit.
I have read a number of post and comments in them threads ,and it is invaluable ... I am Dam sure many will bend over backwards to help you out.
Real shame the same can not be said concerning NVIDIA ...Hopefully they see your Dilemmas and respond dutifully.
Good Luck!
Best Regards,
I'm wondering if anyone here has dealt with an ATOTO A6 bootlooping after doing playstore updates. From what I could gather from their support site, it's fairly common and usually a reset fixes it.
Well I have this problem as it stopped booting after doing a bunch of playstore updates. Did them one day, let the truck sit overnight and next morning turned it on and unit boots up to the first boot image and that's it. Never goes further.
I've been trying to work with ATOTO for a week now, and I think they are truly clueless. They told me I needed the remote control and it could reset the system. They acted like it would start a full blown system recovery and then I'd have a "fresh" unit again. So I followed their commands after getting the remote in and nothing. It acts no different than hitting the reset button on the front of the unit.
Has anyone gone through this? I have a feeling I will have to ship it to them all the way on the other side of the country, but it's been less than 6 months. I really can't see having to ship this out to them every 6 months to be fixed. It seems to me that there should be a way to force a full system recovery just like any android phone or tablet I've ever owned or messed with when something goes wrong. I don't have a male to male USB cable to mess with it myself.
So I am really just hoping someone has already been through this and figured it out and my google fu sucked and the countless threads I've read, I've just missed the right one
Hi
I bought this no-name(i think?) car stereo a year ago from Aliexpress and it has worked fine until a couple of days ago.
they have made a new version, but this was the description back then:
The Newest Android7.1 8.0 Car CD DVD Player GPS Navigation For KIA RIO K3 2012-2014 Satnavi Autostereo Radio Unit Car Multimedia.
now theyve upgraded to android 9 i guess:
https://www.aliexpress.com/item/32793855865.html?spm=a2g0s.9042311.0.0.42404c4dWWKdxc
Then it suddenly stopped on the "android" boot screen. i contacted the seller and they sent me an update file.
so i place the files on the sd card and press power button while turning the key. it starts the android update screen, but quickly shows a lot of errors. Seller(autostereo) isnt much help, so i was hoping some experts in here can decipher the errors and help me out?
this is the update file they sent me:
https://wetransfer.com/downloads/22...a?spm=a2g0s.imconversation.0.0.37e83e5flyiMto
I have also been like that, having to take the time to do it many times with different types of ROM that will be different.
No one able to help?

Hello, Good Day,
I was using this iLife Zedbook 10.1" 2in1 Netbook with windows 10 home which was preinstalled when I purchased it, it was fine till recently and updates were downloaded and installed but a recent update made the Zedbook not booting up Win 10, Only get stuck(Bootlooped) at iLife logo, So i watch few video of iLife Air(Cuz there wereno videos regarding technical issue for Zedbook except unboxing and stuffs) and finally got the firmware from iLife official site for the exact part number and made it bootable using Winpe_x86 and flashed it, but unfortunately it did more damage than installing Win 10 into my Zedbook. Now the Zedbook turns on but displays nothing only some kind of white parts here and there on the screen, As far as I know it might be a UEFI installation error (I might be wrong, I am just a noob)
Please someone who can help me with it, TIA

Hello all,
I am new here so i appologize if this is the wrong area. Almost 2 years ago i purchased a Secaine Anroid 8 head unit for my Tundra. It has worked great until 3 weeks ago when the Wifi started acting up. It no longer auto connects to my hot spot and after looking in the settings it has switched off and when you try to click on the button it switches to on just long enough to beep and go back to off. This past weekend it magicly started working again, so i factory reset it and began reinstalling my apps. Worked great all weekend, then on Monday after work back to square 1. I tried the factory reset again and this time it did not correct its self. The MCU is 2018 so that seems about par for the course as its outdated. I can not get any support from the manufacturer they told me i need to wait until March when the engineer returns from Holiday. I want his job... And how do they get a holiday when the rest of the world has to cancel theirs ? Anyway is there anyone who can walk a flashing idiot through an update as i dont want to brick the unit. I used to flash Pc's back in the day but an android headunit is new country for me.
I have downloaded Hal9k_Mod 4.0 and HTC_PX5_8.0 . I would assume i need to update the MCU to a more current version but i would also love it if i could update from Android 8 to something newer.
Please i beg the Mod Gods out there help a poor soul. I know your out there..
