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 RU-vid 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.
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 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
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.
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.
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?
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?
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?
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!
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
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?
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 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!
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, 👏 😀 👍🏻
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.
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"...
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.
Hi, this was a great vid. I was wondering, if you knew of a way to make a custom workout or route, that would automatically change the incline and resistance. it’s seems that ifit doesn’t allow for this now. I have a NordicTrack elliptical btw got it in 2020.
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 RU-vid app keeps crashing every time I open it. Anyone else have these problems?
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?
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
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.
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
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
I bought the NordicTrack 2950 (2021) today. Everything turned out to be done except for the most important thing. When I open RU-vid, it shows a red logo, and then the application just disappears :(
@@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
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 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
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
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
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.
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.
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 ?
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😊
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.
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?
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?
Can I use apps like Netflix or RU-vid, etc without paying for the ifit subscription? Don’t want the ifit training programs but watch a movie or news or other things…
@@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?
NOTE: This product works exactly as described. ru-vid.comUgkxguEIMc_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!!
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
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?
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
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?
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.
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!!
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 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 .
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'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.
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!
My file explorer looks a little different than the one in this video so I uninstalled it and reinstalled the ones linked in the notes. They both still look slightly different, but I was able to get to to Sdcard folder without trouble. I got an error that the operation failed and I needed to try another name. Ideas? I used .wolfDev
I made a couple videos before. This one may help you ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-STST9iP-g64.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
