Good morning, after making the code and generating it, my treadmill will go into privileged mode, yes? that means that google, google play and ifit will be installed there? because I'm afraid that it will break the machine😢I would be grateful for an answer. Best regards
Luckily, I found out about Nordictrack locking users out of administrator (privilege) mode within my 30-day trial basis. I called them today for a code to enable Netflix and they refused to provide one (I just found out about the secret code generator but decided to return bike instead). I told them to come pick up the machine. It's costing me freight + 10% of machine cost so that's the price of my lesson. Thing is, I wanted and would have continued to pay iFit subscription regardless but having viewing options like Netflix, Amazon Prime or RUclips adds variety and they are denying us such. So once refund is processed, I'll look for alternatives.
so you're bragging that you paid nordictrack their profit margin and then allowed them to resell the machine for more profit... you sure showed them bro
@@Tubezilla Hi! I couldn't find a bike that had it all so instead I went for a Marcy multigym. It occupies about the same floor space and has far more training options. My philosophy is that if a manufacturer locks me out for some equipment I bought and outright own, I'm not buying it. Good luck with your program and wishing you much success!
This method to reach privilege mode worked for me 1/3/2023 on my NordicTrack EXP14i with the latest App Version 2.6.81.4158 Admin Version 2.1.1.1227 Thanks for posting this. The other method I had used previously was not working for me any longer where you set a PIN for the lock screen immediately after a factory reset.
Your Android device needs to be rooted to access root mode in any file manager I believe. I'm not sure how he did unless he rooted his Nordictrack in another video. For my Nordictrack Commercial 2450, I created the .wolfDev file in the "storage\emulated\0" folder and that worked for me.
Great video! Thank you for posting this. We just got a Proform Pro-9000 and these instructions worked like a charm. I’ve got Peloton and other apps working and the privileged mode persists on reboot. Thanks a ton!!
Hi. I have exactly the same machine but come up against an error about Google Play Services not being compatible. Did you get this? If you can let me know where you got your APKs, that’d be great, thank you.
Did you have any issues with peleton app? Everything else is working but a lot of the peleton videos give me an error. I do pay for the subscription as well since it’s much cheaper than if it.
Thank you for this. I bought the s15i and immediately thought, it sure would be nice if I could actually use this screen that is so obviously an android tablet. I just had my first workout where I did NOT have to use an exterior screen. Truly, thank you.
I have an older elliptical with an older, smaller tablet. My biggest complaint is when I bought the device it included quite a few workouts. It states on the machine it has 35 workouts. Over the years they reduced the "free" workouts. I find it insane I have to pay 40 bucks a month to watch old exercise videos they had to film once. It's twice what Netflix costs. I'd like to find a method to load some of those exercises back.
I can’t even find the free workouts that dont require the membership. I bought it because it had live classes and now that it doesn’t I don’t think the membership is worth it
Dude, thank you, all I wanted to do was increase the font size on the display for my mom and using privileged mode it can be changed in the system settings!
I would like to thank you for these great videos…I have a 2024 model. This got me started….I had to use an fx file manager, and a landscape orientation app because paramount plus videos were upside down😂….but all is working great!
Two things: First, every time I click on "ES file manager" the screen turns sideways. I have to turn the machine off and then on to get it back. Secondly there is no folder on the file manager that says "/sdcard". There is DCIM, Download, Alarms, Android, backup, era, movies, music, my favorite, notifications, pictures, podcasts, ringtones and update. Where is that folder?
So I just picked up a ProForm HIIt H14 and my tablet doesn’t show a sdcard in storage it just has an internal storage that’s where I put the wolf file and I’m still doing some testing to see if that works but my apps all open in a small window instead of full screen any suggestions for that?
Hey thanks for the Video its awsome only one problem I get right up to the ES file manager and can't get past this point , im wondering whether I have the correct File manager, I've down loaded ES File Explorer and APL file manager however neither looknthe one you have. Thoughts please
Thank you so much for this information! I was able to download the Peloton app and actually use it by using your other video steps BUT I couldn’t update my resistance while on my Proform Pro bike. Is there a fix?
New R35 recumbent bike... instructions worked great! Big thanks. Question: if I start Netflix playing and then try to swap to iFit, the Netflix playback seems to pause. I've seen other vids where it continues to play in the background. Have I done something wrong?
Fantastic videos, super appreciative. I got it to work on my 14.9 elliptical, buuuut half of the streaming apps launch in a mini window with no option to resize? Any ideas on how to remedy this? Thank you!
What are your thoughts on first downloading an update blocker before the rest of the steps? I am able to stay in privileged mode but most of the apps don’t work including Hulu Disney and Amazon prime. I can use Netflix and Chrome but cannot use the previous apps on chrome or as a standalone app. I might do another hard reset and install the update blocker before the other steps in this video and see if I can keep them working. Thanks
I've tried a few different file managers, but I can't locate the "sdcard" file. I read through the comments, and noticed I could simply create a new one. I tried it, and to no avail, hasn't worked. I tried the wolfdev file, and I still get kicked out of privileged mode on reboot. I've followed your other videos and have had success with those. I'm going to keep tinkering. Would it be possible for you to share the link of the file manager you specifically used? Also, I'm not trying to run additional apps, I just want the ability to cast my screen to the tv in front of my treadmill so I don't have to look down as I'm following my iFit workouts. I tried pinning the settings app, but on reboot it's removed. It's weird, because it's the only app that happens to. I'm wondering if I get the file manager/wolfdev thing figured out it will resolve this. For now I'm just using the code generator...hoping that doesn't go away! None the less, thank you for the help! It's , much appreciated.
Important question- do you have an ifit membership and you have just expanded you viewing capabilities by adding Netflix, Primevideo etc.? I.e. can you do this without any i-fit membership?
Thanks for the great video! Do you have a video showing how to utilize the floating apps? I have it downloaded but can't seem to get Netflix to pull up through floating apps.
I'm getting the same thing now. This video worked for me for a couple months, but now I'm getting kicked back to ifit all the time even when in privileged mode.
I just purchased a Proform 9000 treadmill, I don't really care for the iFit training program and will not be paying for it after the free 30-day trial expires. Can I still load You Tube, Netflix etc. without any issues? I really enjoy your channel, thanks!
Greetings bro. I just purchased the nordick 1750 treadmill.. may I request you assist me in entering tje privleage mode.. and can I install you tube also ? Thanks and I appreciate your kind assistance and co-operation
Won’t work, when I open file manager, mine looks separate that yours and when I select root and causes the app the close and won’t let me in root with ES file manager
Won't get far. They have a right to restrict functionality for the customer experience to remain within their designed ecosystem Apple has well established that fact for everyone
@@GearsAndTech let’s not leave out what else They have the power to do to your exercise equipment when it’s connected to the internet. I’ve been working on these machines for 20 years.. Just stay connected at your own risk once your warranty expires.
Im thinking of buying the x22i, cant lie I am scared to try this. Could it break anything and can this be done anytime like the 2nd month of ownership? Thanks again seems such a waste of a good screen to not do what youve achieved , so well done, 👏 😀 👍🏻
This worked like a charm! However Hulu will not allow me to login it keeps saying my password is wrong even after I double checked it. Also RUclips app keeps crashing every time I open it. Anyone else have these problems?
Hi I was watching your videos on about ifit privilege mode it’s been very helpful but I couldn’t complete the same procedure on my recently purchased pro form 9000 I couldn’t create task bar can you help me with this issue thanks
everything worked until i came back to my treadmill the next day and it didnt work. actually the task bar is still there but when i tap any app it goes on for a second then it tuirns back off. Can you help me ?
Can I use apps like Netflix or RUclips, etc without paying for the ifit subscription? Don’t want the ifit training programs but watch a movie or news or other things…
I bought the NordicTrack 2950 (2021) today. Everything turned out to be done except for the most important thing. When I open RUclips, it shows a red logo, and then the application just disappears :(
Hi love the video. I have a 2450. The screen was locked on the white start up screen ,so I did a reset. Now it is stuck in easing displayed on screen. I have reset it several times and it gets stuck, black screen with a circle and says erasing.
Just bought a used Nordic track 2950 commercial treadmill from a friend who previously owned it, he told me the screen display was black and not visible but the touchpad sill worked. As soon as I got home I noticed that the screen display is actually still visible but it’s really hard to see anything(as if the brightness was all the way down). I tried to put the brightness all the way up on the ifit settings but nothing will happen, do you have any idea what could be wrong with the screen? I can scroll up and down on the screen the only problem is the brightness
Hi, I had the same problem. I found out that the cable for the video signal inside the screen was loose. I took the screen apart, and fixed the cable, and boom problem fixed😊
Hey sorry not sure of my comment posted but I am stuck on the 10 clicks on the screen. I have done it before but now suddenly it isn’t working. Has this ever happened to you? I was told once it also responds to 15 taps but I don’t know how long to pause
Hey, do you get video stutter on ifit every 5 secs? I do. I have a new NordicTrack Commercial x22i delivered 2024 and it's driving me nuts. Do you have a fix?
Thanks for the info. I have a Proform Pro 5000 treadmill. I am getting good at making the software changes as I have done it a few times now - I just keep playing with it and loosing privileged mode - but my fault. I was not able to find the \SDCARD directory - as I don't have an SD card on this machine - but I'll keep looking for it. YES... do not upgrade once working as you mention. I am happy with my setup now; have ICONS on the home screen for CNN, FOX News, MSNBC, NBC and many others, and a nice window of 8 websites I visit from time to time; also added the clock widget and weather. I'd be interested how the .wolfDev prevents the privileged mode from being overwritten, and HOW IN THE WORLD did you discover that? rhetorical question. Anyway, thanks for the info. I have subscribed to your channel
Thanks for the comment The wolfdev exploit was discovered by another viewer of the channel. When I asked him how he figured it out he said he had a dump of the software that he was looking through the code and kept finding a check for that wolfdev file. It was pretty clear what it would do based on how the code was written The machine has reference to an SD card even if you don't have one installed. If you don't have the directory you can create it on the root of the storage and then create the wolfdev file and it will work
@@GearsAndTech thanks for the guideposts. I hv NordicTrack commercial 2950, unsure if I understood wrong, I've created ..wolfDev, while all iFit exercise/training projects are still unlocked. I guess I misunderstood "unlock"...
So somehow on my Nordic track vault it is not letting me do the ten button pushes thing. Do you have any suggestions! It used to work and I had privileged mode and suddenly it doesn’t
I followed all your steps and even tried downloading several versions of Netflix through the apk pure but still when i try to open any Netflix movie it says device not compatible. PLEASE HELP?
With the x32 treadmill.. you have go to the help menu and do the 10 tap, pause 7 and 10.. thanks! FYI peps! it has recoding app and Camara access!! I disabled those and limited the IFIT admin user!! shessh!! To run ifit, it needed the location for some reason, so had to keep it enable. for my androids peps... use the Dev mode and control your system!!
@@GearsAndTechDo you still have persistent admin mode automatically when you start up your machine or do you have to do the screen tapping routine to unlock it? I lost the ability for constant admin mode a few months ago with one of their updates. Did you?
Thanks for the information. This is allowing me to work around the no wifi error 69000, 69013, & 69015. I can connect to wifi through privilege mode settings but iFit will not auto connect after cycling power. Waiting hear from tech support on a fix.
Hey big man, love your videos. Got it all working. Gotta ask, why is it that when I open up any browser, it opens up in a small window ( not full screen)? Is there a way around this? Thanks!
Hello just got one i think you probably already figured it out but just hold down on the app and a little window will show up right above it and just click on open new window and click the size you want to open it
This worked perfectly on my new 1750 I got today... thank you! I do have a question for you or others... has anyone been able to get Chrome working? I sideloaded it but when it goes to run it just pops up an error that it stopped.
I'm stuck on what step comes next after entering privilege mode on a new machine and what video helps me to install the file manager and the apk app and in what order this needs to be in.
I can't get into root mode. It tells me that it is not rooted. 😞 I need to find some other approach. After I restarted iFit I could find no way to get back out of iFit and back to the Android screen.
recently bought proform 9000 treadmill from cost co. watched your videos from 1/7/22, 2/6/22, and this 11/9/22 and followed directions. didn't work for me. screen is on but it is like in stuck in boot up mode. i had to do hard reset, and now it's working again like new. thanks anyways.
Great videos! It would be nice if you can help us figure out how to install zwift no matter what Android version we have (5.1.1) and take advantage of the resistance and incline. Even if it takes to do any type of extra adjustment to the bike. Such an expensive bike and can't use it with Zwift.
Unfortunately I got flagged by youtube for making these sorts of videos, so I can't upload more to this platform. They don't understand what I'm showing in these videos and don't like it
I cannot find the video where it tells me which es file manager to download. I have tried a couple but none seem to match your video. Please help! Everything else is set up, apps, tool bar .

@@GearsAndTech thank you! I got that set up however my file manager does not look like yours or has the file you are referring to ! I did a search for sd card but it’s just not pulling up .
Hello Sir! I have a Proform 2000 treadmill. I'm trying to set it up on "forever privilege mode". On my treadmill, there's no "sdcard" shown under the file manager to add the file .wolfDev. Can you please tell me where to add it? Thanks!
I haven't done a video on that because it's actually on your router that you would block the update With so many routers being different its very hard to make a video that helps everyone.
Just bought my treadmill and got into the privileged mode, the update blocks me before I can install anything. They are definitely getting wiser to what we're trying to do
I keep getting pop-up ads now that I have privileged mode unlocked. They take over the entire screen whether I have my web browser open or not. Any tips on how to fix?
Hey, thanks for this video. I was able to unlock my 2950 and s22i. Whenever I try to load something from play store, it says app unavailable for this device. Wondering if anyone is able to load any apps or if you all just use the browser for every thing you watch?
@@GearsAndTech Ok. I entered the privileged mode, but ifit app doesn’t open, so I couldn’t workout while watching youtube or Netflix! It only opens on the startup not in privileged mode! Any idea
NOTE: This product works exactly as described. ruclips.net/user/postUgkxguEIMc_Qwab-3QMTpF6jaRL80hiOOsIN It originally earned a four-star review due to a minor defect (see below). However, the manufacturer's customer service rep (Lita) went above and beyond the call of duty and deserves five stars now. I wish I could give even more!I purchased this item which arrived quickly. Assembly instructions were easy to follow. There was only one problem: One bolt did not screw into the hole properly. I called the company. Their customer service rep (Lita) was terrific! She took all my information and submitted a request to replace the defective part. I'm hoping to finish assembly and start using this treadmill soon. (Fingers crossed...)FOLLOW UP: Lita called back to inform me that the company will send a replacement part AND a technician(!!) to install it properly. AMAZING CUSTOMER SERVICE!! Thank you!!
Instead of doing all this and forever having to keep on top of updating everything. Is it just better to get a bike without the tablet and use your own tablet/iPad with the iFit app installed?
@@GearsAndTech Ah ok. But the app still connects to the machine as long as the machine is iFit compatible. I can do this with my Nordic Track treadmill. It doesnt have the fancy screen, but I have the iFit app on my iPad and the speed and incline is controlled by the app (when “follow trainer” is selected).
I attempted installing Zwift on the NordicTrack T6.5 Si treadmill but have insufficient storage. There are other YT hacks to remote in from a PC and remove unnecessary Android OS software but there is a risk of lobotomizing your machine.
I tried this method but I don’t have an sdcard folder so I tried to add it to root and it just says operation unsuccessful. No folders pull up at all when I hit the android icon in the file explorer, any ideas?
I have used the 10 taps to access the Privileged Mode Code and factory reset my Proform Studio Pro (Seems to be same as Nordictrac S10i without the USB or reset pin hole). As of today, I foolishly conected it to the internet without blocking updates and now the 10 taps no longer work. Anyone have a clue how to get to the Privileged Mode Code menu after the most recent update? Makes me wonder if the code generator will will work... Scared.
I made a couple videos before. This one may help you ruclips.net/video/STST9iP-g64/видео.html I'm going to put together a video that shows you from start to finish in a more clear way and in order. But thats not out yet

@@GearsAndTech let’s not leave out what else They have the power to do to your exercise equipment when it’s connected to the internet. I’ve been working on these machines for 20 years.. Just stay connected at your own risk once your warranty expires.
My warranty is over now. Still working fine
I think they’re saying the comp has the capability *at any point* now that the warranty is over to control the machine! 🫣😰🫠
@@selinaustin What does that even mean?
Im thinking of buying the x22i, cant lie I am scared to try this. Could it break anything and can this be done anytime like the 2nd month of ownership? Thanks again seems such a waste of a good screen to not do what youve achieved , so well done, 👏 😀 👍🏻
Can be done whenever
This worked like a charm! However Hulu will not allow me to login it keeps saying my password is wrong even after I double checked it. Also RUclips app keeps crashing every time I open it. Anyone else have these problems?
Hi I was watching your videos on about ifit privilege mode it’s been very helpful but I couldn’t complete the same procedure on my recently purchased pro form 9000 I couldn’t create task bar can you help me with this issue thanks
everything worked until i came back to my treadmill the next day and it didnt work. actually the task bar is still there but when i tap any app it goes on for a second then it tuirns back off. Can you help me ?
Can I use apps like Netflix or RUclips, etc without paying for the ifit subscription? Don’t want the ifit training programs but watch a movie or news or other things…
Yes, no ifit needed to do Netflix. You will need a Netflix account though
@@GearsAndTechappreciate it - thank you. I do have Netflix acct
Cada que enciende la bicicleta no entra a ningún modo, ni el de ifit ni Android
How did you add that little popup menu on the bottom corner with all apps on it? Is that a separate app or part of android?
It's called taskbar
I bought the NordicTrack 2950 (2021) today. Everything turned out to be done except for the most important thing. When I open RUclips, it shows a red logo, and then the application just disappears :(
For youtube I usually have to use chrome browser. The app mostly doesn't work
@@GearsAndTech I understand correctly that Google Play can not be installed either? Most likely because of this, the youtube app does not work.
Hi love the video. I have a 2450. The screen was locked on the white start up screen ,so I did a reset. Now it is stuck in easing displayed on screen. I have reset it several times and it gets stuck, black screen with a circle and says erasing.
Just bought a used Nordic track 2950 commercial treadmill from a friend who previously owned it, he told me the screen display was black and not visible but the touchpad sill worked. As soon as I got home I noticed that the screen display is actually still visible but it’s really hard to see anything(as if the brightness was all the way down). I tried to put the brightness all the way up on the ifit settings but nothing will happen, do you have any idea what could be wrong with the screen? I can scroll up and down on the screen the only problem is the brightness
Back light is broken.
Hi,
I had the same problem.
I found out that the cable for the video signal inside the screen was loose.
I took the screen apart, and fixed the cable, and boom problem fixed😊
I do not have SD Card in my scroll down menu.
Hey sorry not sure of my comment posted but I am stuck on the 10 clicks on the screen. I have done it before but now suddenly it isn’t working. Has this ever happened to you? I was told once it also responds to 15 taps but I don’t know how long to pause
Q does anyone know if ifit train works when P mode is enabled? Tia
I just bought a S22i used and it has android 5.1.1, should I connect and let it update to whatever is current and then do this or leave it at 5.1.1?
Update should be fine first
Does instilling any of these apps ultimately cause any performance issues (i.e. sluggish display and rendering) with iFit or the operating system?
It will if you don't have enough storage space as a result
Hey guys do I need to use my wifi first to use it
Hey, do you get video stutter on ifit every 5 secs? I do. I have a new NordicTrack Commercial x22i delivered 2024 and it's driving me nuts. Do you have a fix?
I don't have that problem
Got it to work very handy
Thanks for the info. I have a Proform Pro 5000 treadmill. I am getting good at making the software changes as I have done it a few times now - I just keep playing with it and loosing privileged mode - but my fault. I was not able to find the \SDCARD directory - as I don't have an SD card on this machine - but I'll keep looking for it. YES... do not upgrade once working as you mention. I am happy with my setup now; have ICONS on the home screen for CNN, FOX News, MSNBC, NBC and many others, and a nice window of 8 websites I visit from time to time; also added the clock widget and weather. I'd be interested how the .wolfDev prevents the privileged mode from being overwritten, and HOW IN THE WORLD did you discover that? rhetorical question. Anyway, thanks for the info. I have subscribed to your channel
Thanks for the comment
The wolfdev exploit was discovered by another viewer of the channel. When I asked him how he figured it out he said he had a dump of the software that he was looking through the code and kept finding a check for that wolfdev file.
It was pretty clear what it would do based on how the code was written
The machine has reference to an SD card even if you don't have one installed. If you don't have the directory you can create it on the root of the storage and then create the wolfdev file and it will work
@@GearsAndTech thanks for the guideposts. I hv NordicTrack commercial 2950, unsure if I understood wrong, I've created ..wolfDev, while all iFit exercise/training projects are still unlocked. I guess I misunderstood "unlock"...
So somehow on my Nordic track vault it is not letting me do the ten button pushes thing. Do you have any suggestions! It used to work and I had privileged mode and suddenly it doesn’t
Having this same problem, please help! I am subscribing Right now. ❤
Oh hey I unplugged my machine and plugged it back in and it worked. 🤦🏻♀️The 10 poke thing. My bad! Thanks for the videos!!!🎉🎉🎉
When I get on the browser after setting up priv. Mode. It keeps giving me a security warning and won't let me proceed with anything else
I followed all your steps and even tried downloading several versions of Netflix through the apk pure but still when i try to open any Netflix movie it says device not compatible. PLEASE HELP?
Usually you won't even get into the app. If you made it into the app then I'm not sure how to help you
Me funciono perfecto en proforn endurance 1520. Gracias
Glad to hear
With the x32 treadmill.. you have go to the help menu and do the 10 tap, pause 7 and 10.. thanks!
FYI peps! it has recoding app and Camara access!! I disabled those and limited the IFIT admin user!! shessh!! To run ifit, it needed the location for some reason, so had to keep it enable. for my androids peps... use the Dev mode and control your system!!
That's crazy! Thanks for sharing
I put in my treadmill on a privileged mode, and it turned off the machine. Any suggestion?
So can you still access the regular iFit workouts and/or exit privilege mode?
Yes. Everything still works normal
@@GearsAndTech Why are they being such Nazis about the priveledge code?
Is it possible to do this on new Nordictrack equipment (July 2023)? I'm thinking about getting one of their treadmills.
Ours is still working
@@GearsAndTechDo you still have persistent admin mode automatically when you start up your machine or do you have to do the screen tapping routine to unlock it? I lost the ability for constant admin mode a few months ago with one of their updates. Did you?
Tks for sharing this!
My pleasure!
I've tried 4 different file managers and can't get to the SD card folder on my 2450 tread. Do you know of a workaround?
If you use the one shown in the video you just click on the top and it'll take you to the root file system
Thanks for the information. This is allowing me to work around the no wifi error 69000, 69013, & 69015. I can connect to wifi through privilege mode settings but iFit will not auto connect after cycling power. Waiting hear from tech support on a fix.
Hey big man, love your videos. Got it all working. Gotta ask, why is it that when I open up any browser, it opens up in a small window ( not full screen)? Is there a way around this? Thanks!
I started to have the same problem problem. I didn't look into it further
Hello just got one i think you probably already figured it out but just hold down on the app and a little window will show up right above it and just click on open new window and click the size you want to open it
Neither file manager app would install for me from either these links or google App Store. Says device not supported for the app. Help please.
You may need to try different apk files. I never had a problem, but others have said they did
This worked perfectly on my new 1750 I got today... thank you! I do have a question for you or others... has anyone been able to get Chrome working? I sideloaded it but when it goes to run it just pops up an error that it stopped.
Need to use Firefox or something else. Chrome needs google apps installed which you can't install
Dude youre a beast, thank you so much
I'm stuck on what step comes next after entering privilege mode on a new machine and what video helps me to install the file manager and the apk app and in what order this needs to be in.
Ifit now updates before any of that can be done as of my treadmill purchase this week
I'm in privileged mode downloaded the es file mangers but can't find the sdcard folder? Any advice on this one
If it d9esnt exist then create a folder called SD card on the root of the storage
@@GearsAndTech I have this same problem, is there a space? SD Card or all one word “SDcard”? I’m so close, also when I rebooted it removed netflix.
sdcard all lowercase all one word
@@roseannsykes3624 I'm wondering if we are in root access
Having same problem
Does this method atill work, i couldnt find ES File manager on APK i tried to use a different one but xant find sd card? Any help would be appreciated
Still works
I can't get into root mode. It tells me that it is not rooted. 😞 I need to find some other approach. After I restarted iFit I could find no way to get back out of iFit and back to the Android screen.
Hi. Is there a way to play ifit on a large tv screen?
I have not successfully got screen casting to work
Gave this a try. When I select to open root folder file manager app closes. Could be iFit has now disabled root access…
Update… tried a different file manager app and was successful, although I did not see a folder called sdcard.
You can create the folder if it d9esnt exist. Jusy make sure it's in the root
@@GearsAndTech I simply created the wolfDev file directly in the root folder and it seems to have worked there as well... thanks
Loved it!
Thanks
recently bought proform 9000 treadmill from cost co. watched your videos from 1/7/22, 2/6/22, and this 11/9/22 and followed directions. didn't work for me. screen is on but it is like in stuck in boot up mode. i had to do hard reset, and now it's working again like new. thanks anyways.
Nice work! If you feel brave enough you can try the process again.
If it doesn't work you can always hard reset to get back to factory again
I have a new x32 with android 7 and cannot find a netflix apk that will run. Also when I do, can it run as a floating app?
You should be able to make it float
does this till work? and does this require you to buy the digital ifit version?
It works
No ifit needed
@@GearsAndTech so you can use If it but without having any subscription?
Great videos! It would be nice if you can help us figure out how to install zwift no matter what Android version we have (5.1.1) and take advantage of the resistance and incline. Even if it takes to do any type of extra adjustment to the bike. Such an expensive bike and can't use it with Zwift.
Unfortunately I got flagged by youtube for making these sorts of videos, so I can't upload more to this platform. They don't understand what I'm showing in these videos and don't like it
@@GearsAndTech That is too bad. If you have a solution somewhere else for Zwift, please let us know. Thanks!

@@GearsAndTech thank you! I got that set up however my file manager does not look like yours or has the file you are referring to ! I did a search for sd card but it’s just not pulling up .
Hello Sir! I have a Proform 2000 treadmill. I'm trying to set it up on "forever privilege mode". On my treadmill, there's no "sdcard" shown under the file manager to add the file .wolfDev. Can you please tell me where to add it? Thanks!
Create a folder called sdcard in the root of your system
Amazing! is there a tutorial to block ifit and related apps to prevent future updates? and remain like this for ever?
I haven't done a video on that because it's actually on your router that you would block the update
With so many routers being different its very hard to make a video that helps everyone.
@@GearsAndTech got it! thank you very much for your reply and videos.
@@GearsAndTech can you explain what needs to be done in general on the router ? I assume I have to block access to a specific website or IP address?
Just bought my treadmill and got into the privileged mode, the update blocks me before I can install anything. They are definitely getting wiser to what we're trying to do
@@mattmain237 Sounds like a good class action lawsuit and FTC complaint.
I keep getting pop-up ads now that I have privileged mode unlocked. They take over the entire screen whether I have my web browser open or not. Any tips on how to fix?
You installed something that is running in the background with ads
I have not had any issues with ads
im having trouble with es file manager. my app looks different. did the app change or did i download the wrong one.
There are a few different versions. As long as you have access to the root folder you're fine.
What File Manager are you using mine does not show SD Card
Same. Where is that video on your page?
I'm the video I say exactly what file Manager it is. Read the text on the screen. It'll tell you
Sir
Can this be done and work on Nordictrack Commercial 14.9 ?
someone else said that it worked, search form "14.9", it's from 2 months earlier than your post.
Hey, thanks for this video. I was able to unlock my 2950 and s22i. Whenever I try to load something from play store, it says app unavailable for this device. Wondering if anyone is able to load any apps or if you all just use the browser for every thing you watch?
Haven't got play store working. All apps are sideloaded using the apk.
This limits the functionality a bit, but overall its very usable
Thank you for the link 🙏🏻
No problem 😊 hope it helps
@@GearsAndTech Ok. I entered the privileged mode, but ifit app doesn’t open, so I couldn’t workout while watching youtube or Netflix! It only opens on the startup not in privileged mode! Any idea
NOTE: This product works exactly as described. ruclips.net/user/postUgkxguEIMc_Qwab-3QMTpF6jaRL80hiOOsIN It originally earned a four-star review due to a minor defect (see below). However, the manufacturer's customer service rep (Lita) went above and beyond the call of duty and deserves five stars now. I wish I could give even more!I purchased this item which arrived quickly. Assembly instructions were easy to follow. There was only one problem: One bolt did not screw into the hole properly. I called the company. Their customer service rep (Lita) was terrific! She took all my information and submitted a request to replace the defective part. I'm hoping to finish assembly and start using this treadmill soon. (Fingers crossed...)FOLLOW UP: Lita called back to inform me that the company will send a replacement part AND a technician(!!) to install it properly. AMAZING CUSTOMER SERVICE!! Thank you!!
I show how to set it up and such in another video.
It's pretty intuitive
While I have the same filer manager app than you, i can't access root. When i'm on the root "tab", it says that my phone isn't rooted.
Same here. 😞
Instead of doing all this and forever having to keep on top of updating everything. Is it just better to get a bike without the tablet and use your own tablet/iPad with the iFit app installed?
It's possible. But you don't get the dynamic workouts then. (At least not that I know (
@@GearsAndTech
Ah ok.
But the app still connects to the machine as long as the machine is iFit compatible. I can do this with my Nordic Track treadmill. It doesnt have the fancy screen, but I have the iFit app on my iPad and the speed and incline is controlled by the app (when “follow trainer” is selected).
Interesting. Then you can likely skip a lot of the bs we put up with
I ised this and it no longer works for me is there a new method?
Can the new S22i be made to fully run zwift and utilize auto adjust incline and resistance??
I'm not sure. I was gonna give it a try. But haven't yet
I attempted installing Zwift on the NordicTrack T6.5 Si treadmill but have insufficient storage. There are other YT hacks to remote in from a PC and remove unnecessary Android OS software but there is a risk of lobotomizing your machine.
ES File Manager requires a paid subscription to access the system files. Do you have another alternative?
Almost any file Explorer should work
I tried this method but I don’t have an sdcard folder so I tried to add it to root and it just says operation unsuccessful. No folders pull up at all when I hit the android icon in the file explorer, any ideas?
You could try a different file Explorer and make sure you grant it full permissions.
I have used the 10 taps to access the Privileged Mode Code and factory reset my Proform Studio Pro (Seems to be same as Nordictrac S10i without the USB or reset pin hole). As of today, I foolishly conected it to the internet without blocking updates and now the 10 taps no longer work. Anyone have a clue how to get to the Privileged Mode Code menu after the most recent update? Makes me wonder if the code generator will will work... Scared.
Only way is to find a reset hole and factory reset and don't uodate
Where can I find how to set this up straight out of the box? This seems like it's moreso for people who already have this set up.
I made a couple videos before. This one may help you
ruclips.net/video/STST9iP-g64/видео.html
I'm going to put together a video that shows you from start to finish in a more clear way and in order. But thats not out yet
I can have the Zwift app on my norditrack s22i ?
Yes
