Thank you very much for your informative video. My old treadmill died and I’m looking at a Nordic track. The company isn’t keen for anyone to install apps but I’m glad to see that there is a work around. 😊

[@tristonm37]

I have a Proform Pro C22 - This is the best guide ever. I had to play with the settings of the task bar app to get it to show in the left hand corner and even though the apps were open, I had to go into the app list and from there pin to recent. Outside of those 2 things, this work AMAZINGLY well. A recent update has prevented the method of PIN for the lock screen from working. THANK YOU FOR THIS!!!!! With Andriod being open source, I am hope the legality side of what ifit is doing here get some traction so that others don't have to go through this.

[@tothrec]

Are you saying that the recent update has made this approach no longer feasible?

[@GearsAndTech]

It's impossible for any updates to make this approach not work. The button is hard wired into in the hardware, and will always initiate a factory reset. We are installing our software before the system does an update and blocks the access level needed. So, as long as you have task bar installed and a browser before ifit updates, you are in.

[@richarddoviak9666]

Great Work! I now have the ability to cast to my big TV again. You did not mention that the setting control can be accessed by touching the clock and then access the cast display menu. You need an older firestick to do Miracast since it is disabled in newer models.

[@edwardmathenge719]

Hi Richard, I am trying to set up casting to my big screen from my Bike and would like to try your "touching the clock" method. Question1 : When you access the cast display menu by touching the clock, were you in Privileged Mode or regular mode. (i.e Do I have tor do all the factory reset and taskbar steps before I am able to setup casting?) Question 2. Could you explain a little more about the "touching the clock" method. Thanks

[@GearsAndTech]

When you have the taskbar app installed, just slide the taskbar out. On the far right hand side you'll see the clock. Tap that and a screen will pop down from the top. On that screen is the cast icon I was not able to get the device to cast to my tv though.

[@GoldThumbGardens]

How do we get the taskbar to stick once it’s downloaded?

[@gabriellaserna9581]

Hi! This worked for a few months but now when I am watching Netflix and doing rides, it takes me back to Ifit and shuts out the ride and my Ifit goes black and then logs me out of Ifit so I lose my ride. I've done all the updates, I'm not sure what else to do. Do you know how to fix?

[@steveg5166]

Great video. I would suggest that you also add information on the firmware/hardware/brainboard in your bike too. I purchased my bike in 2020 and it's running android 5.1.1. My next door neighbor bought the same bike two months later and his came out of the box with android 7.1. After spending several hours arguing with tech support about this, I was told there's no way to flash the later version of android on my bike because of slightly different hardware. The reason I'm posting this is that the android version you are running has a bearing on whether those APK apps will install and run. Netflix is a perfect example because it took me a while to find a version that would run correctly under android 5.1.1.

[@cw6950]

where did you find one that would run on 5.1.1

[@mattue84]

Well ty for not telling us what one runs on 5.1.1

[@dropcatch5233]

I followed this video and was able to go into the privileged mode and install Netflix KZbin etc on my S45i. After a long tiring set up, was all done and ready with all the apps running. The biggest drawback was the key did not work to start the treadmill and it did not start at all. Ended up doing a factory reset and then the key started working. So is this a new safety feature by the manufacturer or what? I don't understand.

[@joemammatube]

So glad that the software is built upon Android. This all makes sense as I side-load apps on my Android phone occasionally. Now, question, if I am getting the bike new, then it would seem that I could start with the steps by not connecting to WiFi and not allowing for the update setup? Do the hack right out of the box and won't have to reset the device. Would this work? Also, it is the 2022 model. Will the hack void the warranty? Great video. Look forward to your response.

[@GearsAndTech]

Yep you can do it from new out of the box It won't void warranty. But if you need a factory service you may want to factory reset first.

[@acanfield87]

Thanks for the great video! I was wondering if I could do something like this for my 2021 Commercial 1750 treadmill (with the smaller screen). It would be really awesome if I could use an app like Rouvy to control the treadmill and not need the iFit subscription.

@@nursegilbey That was my plan but the first issue I stated was that chrome won't stay open.

I downloaded a KZbin app from the amazon store. It works good But you can also open youtube from floating windows. That allows you to have it float overtop of everything. You can resize it as well so you can see part of the ifit app if you want

[@nursegilbey]

Follow up: After a few days it seems that any app I have open will start to close automatically and go to a black screen. I can launch it again but sometimes starts closing very quickly. I'm just guessing maybe it's iFit trying to load itself on top. But it never actually shows and if I try to open I fit when it does that it will never actually come up again. I will try and see if task manager might be able to help

[@sahilsoorma1469]

Great video and great tips on the taskbar. Thank you for sharing this. QQ: I have this same S22i model and my wife wanted the Peloton loaded. So I got into privileged mode by doing the pin hole hard factory reset, I was able to install Peloton and get it to work. I tired a couple of times to unplug the machine and it worked each time. After a couple of days I just plugged the machine back in, it loads to the Android screen and I initially put a passcode lock. Once I unlock with passcode, it launches iFit application and I can no longer swipe up to get back into the tablet mode, seems like privileged mode is turned off. Do I need to do another factory reset to get back into it? I didn't initially install the taskbar, but now I am thinking that's a good idea to do. Has anyone had this same issue, and is there a workaround besides factory reset? When I tap 10 times, wait 6-7 secs and tap 10 times again, I am prompted with the code and number to call. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!

[@LazyCrazyGuy]

@@sahilsoorma1469 it sounds like the Peloton app might need an update. If you listen to the end of the video he mentions how apps will stop working once they get an update. Because it was side loaded you won't get an automatic update for any app you install. You'll have to use the Google Chrome browser and search for Peloton APK and install the newest version. Upon completion of that install, your app should work fine after that. Good luck!

SO SHOULD I JUST TRY TO UNLOCK THE PRIVLEDGE MODE AGAIN OR TRY AND FIND A WAY TO HARD RESET. -ALSO THERE DOESN'T SEEM TO BE A DOWNLOAD FOR NETFLIX THATS UP TO DATE ON THE STEP 5 SUPPORT SITE. MY DOWNLOAD SAYS IT UNSUPPORTED.

As long as you have a browser installed you can keep sideloading apps through there If you want priveledged mode back I do have another video with a code generator that will unlock it without resetting

[@kristinc8285]

@@GearsAndTech can you link to the video? I can’t find it. And to add, seems like lots of folks here are having issues after successfully following all steps and then having iFit issues with it trying to take over the screen. No replies to those from you. I’m curious if you know what this issue is and if you know how to resolve?

[@xxkaiserxx2505]

Quick question you need a membership to able to used this treadmill?

[@GearsAndTech]

You can do manual mode and use the devices without membership

Hi, if I try this in March 2023 would it still work? I'm so worried I'm going to mess up my Nordictrack si22 screen and won't be able to use it anymore.

[@Tylanta1999]

Great video! Quicker question, Peloton app will not download through pure. It just downloads a file and when I press it it say can not be opened.

[@GearsAndTech]

I had the same problem. I'm trying to find a solution to that.

[@Tylanta1999]

@@GearsAndTech can you use KZbin? I can't get that it to work.

@@Tylanta1999 I use youtube through the chrome browser. the app wouldnt install and work. Once you have the video on chrome you can easily switch to full screen

Have they sent an update that stops iFIT from working. It was working fine for a little and now I can’t access iFIT. Do you have a fix? Can’t use the machine anymore.

Does this also work for the s10i?

How do i get my fan to stay on for longer than 30 seconds? Also, how can I get my resistance to show and adjust?

When I get to the "no premium content w/o wifi" warning screen, the 3 tab menu drop down isn't there - ideas?

Is this work on the new S27i aswell?

I trying to figure out which video in newest. The both say 1year ago , I want to make sure I follow the most recent instructions. I just ordered my bike .

When I click on Taskbar I don't have general settings to make launch on boot ...any other ideas ...am on echelon

[@michaelreeves3637]

Can you watch the peloton app as an overlay? What I mean by that is, if you don't subscribe to ifit, you get the track with your resistance and rpm. I was wondering if you can still have that as a backdrop, then have the peloton app over top of it, only smaller so you could still see the numbers and adjust them during the workout? To me, if you can't see the NordicTrack numbers, how can you bike and follow the instructor on peloton when he or she asks you to pick up the rpms, or increase the resistance when you don't know the numbers? Thanks!

[@GearsAndTech]

No. Its an app on its own. Full screen

[@michaelreeves3637]

@@GearsAndTech thank you for your reply. Well, the cadence is easy to figure out because it's with the rhythm of the music. But it sure would be difficult to figure out the resistance without an on-screen display

Hello Thank you for this information! Has anybody run into issues when trying to install Netflix and other apps? I’m getting error saying that the versions are not compatible with my device.

[@GearsAndTech]

yes, that happens sometimes. you have to keep trying till you get the version that works with your system

[@yvetteydang3123]

Can I follow these instructions if my s22i is no longer connecting to the internet? It appears that the last update was unsuccessful. I can get to the privilege mode screen which asks for a code and I was in the process of contacting iFit to complete a factory reset. Also, if I can successfully complete this process, will I be able to use my iFit membership?

[@GearsAndTech]

You should for sure follow these instructions then. It'll give you a fresh install to start from. Then see if your WiFi works. If not you likely have a hardware issue with field WiFi card

How do you get to launch on boot???

They use a similar system on all their equipment. So it should work
