Delete preinstalled apps from your TV

Post by notengo13 »

Disclaimer: Do it at your own risk. I don't take any responsibility if you delete some sistema stuff from your TV. Just use it to remove pre-installed apps

It worked on QN93A and for sure on more models.

If apps get installed back, in order to prevent this you need to block some urls.
You can use this list or just this urls

Code: Select all

osb-v2.samsungqbe.com
osb-apps.samsungqbe.com
osb-apps-v2.samsungqbe.com
osb-auth-eusvc-v2.samsungqbe.com
1.You need Tizen Studio installed on your PC

- download from here
- or use virtualbox image SamyGO-VM.7z by @sectroyer from this topic [ROOT] J ROOT on T-HK* fw up to 1480

2. Enable Developer Mode on the TV:
  • On the TV, open the "Smart Hub".
    Select the "Apps" panel.

  • In the "Apps" panel, enter "12345" using the remote control or the on-screen number keypad (in my case I had to use old IR remote).
    The developer mode configuration popup appears.

  • Switch "Developer mode" to "On".
    Enter the IP address of the computer that you want to connect to the TV, and click "OK".
    Reboot the TV.

  • When you open the "Apps" panel after the reboot, "Develop Mode" is marked at the top of the screen.

3. Connect the TV to the SDK:

4. Launch sdb
  • open terminal on your PC and navigate where is installed tizen-studio (example: /home/YOURUSER/tizen-studio/tools/)
  • or launch shell from Tizen studio

Code: Select all

sdb devices

~/tizen-studio/tools> ./sdb devices
List of devices attached 
192.168.XXX.XXX:26101     device          QE55QN93AATXXC
  • list all users apps with IDs

Code: Select all

sdb shell 0 vd_applist
SpoilerShow

Code: Select all

get app list...

After you send this command

Code: Select all

sdb shell 0 vd_appuninstall 3201910019365    <THIS WILL REMOVE PRIME VIDEO, CHANGE ID TO YOUR NEEDS

I am with : QE55Q80CATXXH / T-PTMCDEUC-1220.9 (i know it is wrong forum...)
So terminal didn't get me any response for deleting. But i can list and install, just the delete part doesn't work and just goes to new row without any error.

This is what I am getting:
C:\tizen-studio\tools>sdb shell 0 vd_appuninstall 3201910019365

uninstall 3201910019365
can not uninstall app
spend time for wascmd is [7]ms
I hope there is another command one can use. Maybe it has something to do with the stats it shows, e.h. is_need_uninstall etc.?

Did you list first all available apps? Maybe in your TV there is different ID which you need to change to your needs. The one listed in command is just an example.

I did. It's the ID of the Netflix app I believe...

The command doesn't seem to work anymore.

On my TV is working. I don't konw. Check your command and ID. Don't use which I posted as example.
Maybe if you are on latest firmware Samsung removed such possibility.
