Move apps from one tv to another?

Post by TOMillr »

I'm curious if it is possible to download an app and go on to install the same app on anther tv.

Let's say I'm using an H6270 and someone with ftp access gives me the Hulu Plus app from another H6xxx tv. Can I use the developer access to push the Hulu app to my tv? Or are the apps somehow watermarked to run only on the specific device it was first downloaded to?

Also, are the major apps like Netflix, Hulu or HBOGO the same across the f and h series? So should an f-series app also work on the newer h-series tvs?

You need to decrypt app using libDumpSPM :)
I do NOT support "latest fw" at ALL. If you have one you should block updates on router and wait for it to STOP being "latest":)
If you want me to help you please paste FULL log(s) to "spoiler"/"code" bbcodes or provide link(s) to pasted file(s) on https://pastebin.com Otherwise "NO HELP"!!!
If you want root DISABLE internet access to your device!!!!
DO NOT EVER INSTALL FIRMWARE UPGRADE !!!!

And how about compatibility across different devices? Are the apps basically all the same across different devices and series?

Why I'm asking: Let's say I using a brand new H6270 which shipped with the latest firmware. Since root isn't yet possible on the device, I'm looking for a way to get some of the US apps (like Hulu, HBOGo and Vudu) on the new tv set to the UK SmartHub.

Can I get those apps from my old F-series tv (or from someone with a rooted H-series tv), decrypt them and just push them to the new tv over the developer account?

If you can you first HAVE TO decrypt!!! That's all I know :) Test and report :)

Ok, gonna give it a try and get back to you.

Just though somebody had already compared an app downloaded on an f- and h-series to see if they are indeed identical. Would be nice to know...

Btw, with part of the app do I have to decrypt? The .img file inside the folder which contains the widget.info, config.xml.spm, widget.license and all the icon files?

Most f and h series apps are the same. UHD tvs have a different app version usually.

Alright, thanks for the information.

I remember that you get an security error when trying to sync some of the "official" apps with the SmartHub Widget Manager. Could this be related to the encryption?

No. You get a security warning when a app you are trying to install is using private api's (that only Samsung partners have access to).
