any1 manage to root the v8 model?

Guys, you don't need to hack or root the new HyppTV STB Huawei EC6108V8 as you can just sideload Android TV compatible APK files saved into a USB flash key/drive to be accessed via USB port available on the EC6108V8 unit. Somehow, my unit seems to allow me to install from unknown sources. The only thing you need to install from the Google Play Store to perform APK sideloading is a file manager (I use the lightweight IO File Manager from OpenIntents) to install the APK files (double-click on the APK file to perform install). I've managed to install the following sideloaded apps obtained from APKMirror or APKPure: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sideloading

Latest Google Play Service for Android/Android TV 9.2.56
com.google.android.gms_9.2.56_(032-124593566)-9256032_minAPI9(armeabi-v7a)(160dpi)_apkmirror.com.apk

Latest Youtube for Android TV 1.3.11
com.google.android.youtube.tv_1.3.11-10311100_minAPI17(armeabi)(nodpi).apk

iflix 2.1.17.1 (it is not Android TV compatible so you have to figure out how to navigate/highlight items in iflix by using the HyppTV remote)
iflix_v2.1.17.1_apkpure.com.apk

You need to consider what apps are compatible with Android TV device like EC6108V8:
* You must try to search apps for "Android TV", not just "Android". The difference is obvious: Android TV doesn't support touch interface, it supports remote-control navigation and it is meant for 10-foot user interface design
* You shall only install apps that support ARM Cortex-A9 32-bit ABI architecture used in Hi3719C-V100 chipset of this device (armeabi or armeabi-v7a) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ARM_Cortex-A9
* You can safely install apps with 160dpi or nodpi screen density support as it matches EC6108V8's 160dpi screen density support. Otherwise, you will face a weird layout such as inconsistent fonts or buttons; https://developer.android.com/guide/practic...ns_support.html
* You can safely install any Android TV or Android apps for Android Kitkat (>=4.4.2 or >= API 19) or above but below Android Lollipop (<5.0 or <API 21). At least it mentions MinSDKVersion (API) >=9 it will be fine https://source.android.com/source/build-numbers.html
* Be careful not to download Android or Android TV apps from dubious APK file repository sources on Internet to avoid malware and virus. APKMirror is considered a trusted third-party APK file repository site.
* Don't call TM Unifi or Google for support if you have any problem with sideloaded APKs; you are totally on your own risk and responsibility.

Agree, pls help on EC6106V5 stock firmware.

My hypptv is just not working. After black screen "Authenticating, please wait.."
Then back to main screen. hypptv is not running.

Or maybe someone can guide me to the correct settings?
Thanks in advance.

Just wanted to add on to this, I've attempted this and I couldn't get the APKs to show up, what I did next was attempt the instructions in this video:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UDW7lsPaSMk (connecting to playstore etc, on wifi, reboot)

Which did not give me a playstore, I then tried these steps: http://prasys.info/2014/02/how-to-hack-hyp...huawei-ec6106v/

which is the exploit to enable GApps, with the I got from the first post on this thread.

Install from recovery was successful but upon reboot I ended up with a lot of 'Process com.google.gapps' has stopped working, signing into Google Play (which is now displayed) doesn't work, while signing in through Gallery was OK, except it gave a 3D not supported. They probably ripped out a library for it to lock down the box.

After giving a few more tries with Google Play nothing worked, and I ended up having to factory reset.

This failed at wiping /Data, and upon reboot I'm now stuck with a Setup Wizard that keeps crashing.

Guess TM updated the boxes to disallow Google Apps, making this set top box pretty useless with the current firmware.

Time to restore a stock firmware.

Your approach is not required for EC6108V8 since it already has Gapps (GMS or Google Apps) especially the Google Play Store app; the approach is applicable only to EC6106 device which originally doesn't include Gapps.

If you go with the approach, you can't simply use any Gapps package. The Gapps package must match with the installed Android version. In this case, you need to check which Android version used in EC6106 device (note I am not referring to EC6108V8 here). Look for Gapps version here http://www.teamandroid.com/gapps/ (this site tries to install Gapps components for different versions of custom CynogenMod Android mod).

Right, I remember having to deal with wrong GApps version when I previously installed Cyanogen beta on my old Xperia Neo.

Only reason I did that was that my unit didn't display the play store (even after connecting to wifi), or display the apk's I copied over in the Media app.

Any chance you still have the stock firmware? Every site I've been visiting on the first 3 pages of Google Search all point to the same Copy.com link, which the file syncing service is no longer available.

Thanks for your reply by the way!

Just to follow up for others in case there are still people watching this thread.

2 ways to restore your HyppTV set top box if you run into the GApps always crashing error (due to wrong version of google apps) or some unrecoverable error after screwing with it.

1. Use stock firmware.

The link provided by OP is now no longer available, as Copy is now discontinued, I hunted all over the net for it, the original Huawei site (lol), TMNet (lol), flyingspaghettimonster, turns out it's right here in the thread, just had to scroll through, thanks to this post:

2. Attempt to recover the firmware from a built in backup.

Thanks to that tip, I managed to just boot into recovery and then go to the last option, 'Install Update from Backup' to roll back to a previous version of the firmware, everything gets wiped back to stock, so you'll have a working set top box. Though you need your credentials again, which I don't so I need to call them, sigh.

Also refer to this thread if you need to deal with updating etc:

I just decided to go and buy an android tv box

This post has been edited by alien1959: Jul 11 2016, 12:42 AM

after reading all the posting i am confuse
i am searching for an answer

1. can i buy android setop box and install hypptv as it seems so toublesome to get google play on hypp tv stock setop box

2. i can, which hypptv apk i can use to install on android setop box. do i need to flash hypptv.apk or just normal install

If possible, just request for upgrade to the v8 Hypptv STB, and you're good to go.
Playstore is enabled by default. Connect to wifi to use it.

i wanted to get different setop box as present stock unify remote not sensitive anymore. already change new remote. cost me rm26 but issue still the same. to change new unify setopbox going to cost me rm300+ ( that what i wast told)

rather getting that crap setop box ( only 1 year old, warranty over), i am wondering whether i can use android setopbox and install hyptv. then i have more control over what i want to install.

currently, with stock setopbox, i use simple launcher ( to overide stock launcher) and have hypptv and few other stuff on it.

if you have plan to upgrade package, contract will be renewed, and so is the warranty. I claimed my new STB after my 2nd upgrade. The STB is already 2 years plus old since the intial contract. So within this new contract, they gave me STB upgrade for no extra cost.

no plan to upgrade cause already paying for full package hyptv


worst part

noboby watching hyptv

only watching IP TV

wasted my money

try all step

google everything
tried flash old firmware

all end up with this

error

E:failed to verify whole-file sunniwell signature
E:failed to verify whole-file signature
E:signature verification failed
