Hi Bro, i also same intention to use AstroGo 8.2.4 on my recent signed TM HyppTV STP. Research and tried many time still cannot make it yet thus wish can ask expert for this.

To make AstroGo 8.2.4 able to run need both Google Play Store and Google Play Services installed together to make it happen right? You used Google Play Store 12.1.18, how about Google Play Services which version you used? I tried to installed both Google play Store and Google Play Services (maybe certain version required) both cannot use on my STB.
Thus cannot run AstroGo8.2.4 too.

I research and tried many times, but many tutorial is all abt previous STB FW version that still haven’t been updated. What i need is to make AstroGo 8.2.4 able to run on my STB only.

Hope expert can help me on this. Many thanks (^^)

Hi bro, thanks for your kindness try to help me on this.

My HyppTV STB don’t have Google Play Store and Google Play Services. Although i installed both but cannot use (i suspect becos of STB newest version of FW and it is original without root). I searched online AstroGo should be working fine at unroot devices.

My error is:
1.When i click AstroGo, it prompt me “purchase service is temporarily unavailable” and jump out to Menu Screen. But i use my iphone AstroGo is working fine.

2. I suspected becos my STB don’t have Google Setting (Google Play & Google Services). Then i installed both but cannot use, Google Play also jump out to Menu Screen.

Bro, since your AstroGo is working charm on your hypptv STB, may i know is it your STB still previous version FW before force update (which still able to install Google Play & Services)? While mine 1 ald not compatible?

How u install Google Play Store & Google Service?
I believe a lot of ppl struggling how to make AstroGo 8.2.4 work on their new version of Hypptv STB.

Thanks bro.

Haha, when i want to install google ps it prompt me this..
I am thinking that is it not compatible?

My HyppTV STB: Android 4.4.2
Google ps v14.3.66 requirement: Android 6.0+

?? Too bad, feel like so close..

Hi bro thanks for explaination.
Uninstaller might be hard for my case becos uninstalled the apps. Thus nw there is no more google ps in the menu unless there is file crashed / unknown file in the system whick blocked me to install it.

Thus, i am thinking to factory reset my TM STB. Anyone have experience any impact will happend to the STB? After factory reset still working OK just all apps disappeared?

Thanks for helping all ‘guru’ expert(^^)

Bro, thanks for your help.

Finally i successfully run smooth of AstroGo 8.2.4.
These info is quite direct and useful. But finally i run it on my MiBox instead of Unifi STB because i still cant solve the ‘x app is not installed’ although i tried few days after all help given to me and researched the method of apk editor, but still fail.

My case summary:
1. I only want to run AstroGo 8.2.4 in my Unifi STB ( but finally is MiBox, if other bro got see my thread frm up to down).

2. AstroGo 8.2.4 need to run with Google Setting (Google PS). But it really need appropriate version to your box only can run.

3. I used the version proven by bro Gaikon, and it works in my MiBox.

To do a summary of my case, hope ppl have same intention like me can save time and easily can run AstroGo on your box.

But if possible, i still hope my Unifi STB can run AstroGo because i have Unifi cable tv (Hypptv). Then i no need to switch to my MiBox. Any expert still have other way to make the phantom Google Play Services to be reinstall?

*To buddy Voncrane & neocyke, thanks for the expert technical sharing. And i totally agree that Unifi STB is ‘xxcks’ & higher grade of tvbox is the better choice. But because of 30mpbs Unifi registration must c/w this ’xxcking’ STB just to make it to be more useful than ori.

Thanks buddies!!! (^^)

*I already tried apk editor, lucky patcher to rebuild apk and check anymore visible google setting. But all still fail 😵

Haha, again need expert advise liao 🤗
Thanks yar guys 🙏🏻 🙏🏻

Bro, is true.
1. I check storage OK, i still have 1gb.
1. I installed ‘aptoide tv’.
2. Then enable developer mode.
3. Try to install google play store, OK.
4. Try to install google play services, NG ( ‘x app not install’ again ).

Mine case still the ‘x app not install’ (should be dur to phantom file), i believe Unifi STB able to install successfully because i tried it on other Unifi TV and it’s working.

You tried and test OK? Your case also ‘x app not install’?

*Bro Voncrane, i tried use SD Maid and cleared those coarpse file. Still fail with ‘x app not install’.
