Pulse Modification Package

Pulse Superuser prompt.png
When the Hisense Pulse was released, it shipped mostly insecure with "ro.debuggable" being set to 1 which allowed adb to run as root. So to make utilizing this a bit easier we've created a package of the most sought after modifications and created an easy to use install script. This is currently patched by the first update received from the box after installation. If you would like to root your device, do not accept this update before performing the below steps.

Package features:

  • Installs Super Su.apk and su binary to device.
  • Patches flash player to allow content to be played from previously blocked websites (Hulu, Fox, CBS, NBC, etc.).
  • Disables automatic updates to preserve root (can easily be reversed).

Instructions: The instructions below rely on you already having installed the android sdk and having easy access to adb

  1. adb connect <IP_OF_YOUR_GTV>
  2. adb root
  3. adb connect <IP_OF_YOUR_GTV>
  4. adb push location_of_pulse_root.sh /tmp/pulse_root.sh
  5. adb shell
  6. In the adb shell prompt, which should currently be displaying a "#" enter the following without quotes: "cd /tmp; sh pulse_root.sh"
  7. Reboot the device
  8. After the reboot follow the steps below to modify Chrome's User Agent.

Modifying Chromes User Agent

  1. Open Chrome on the Pulse
