On your computer

1.Download and open the kit

Download the TV ID kit below. Extract the whole ZIP and keep all its files together, including the files folder. Then follow the steps for your computer.

Open this ZIP on a Windows computer or Mac, even if you are reading on your phone or TV. The kit’s filenames and messages are in English; this guide explains what to do.

Windows

  1. Open Downloads and find the ZIP you downloaded.
  2. Right-click it, choose Extract All, then Extract. Open the extracted folder.
  3. Double-click Install on Windows.cmd.
It won’t open?
  1. If Windows shows “Windows protected your PC” for this kit downloaded from this website, choose More info, then Run anyway if offered. Do not turn off Windows protection.
  2. If Windows asks whether sdb may use your home network, allow it on your private network. Do not turn off the firewall.

Mac

  1. Open Downloads and double-click the ZIP to unpack it.
  2. Open the extracted folder.
  3. Double-click Install on Mac.command.
It won’t open?
  1. If macOS blocks this downloaded installer because the developer is unidentified: after trying to open it, go to System Settings → Privacy & Security. Find the message for Install on Mac.command, choose Open Anyway, then confirm Open.
  2. If macOS asks whether Terminal may access devices on your local network, allow it so the installer can reach your TV. If the file is reported as damaged or harmful, stop and contact us.
  3. On a Mac with Apple silicon, the installer may offer to install Apple’s Rosetta so Samsung’s tool can run. Follow the prompt on your Mac; never send your Mac password to the bot.

A text window opens. Find This computer's IP address and keep the window open. You will enter that computer address on the TV in the next step.

On your TV

2.Get the TV ready

  1. Open Apps on your TV. On newer models, open App Settings within Apps if needed. Enter 12345 with the remote’s number keys or on-screen number keypad.
  2. In the Developer Mode window, turn Developer mode on. In Host PC IP, enter the computer IP address shown by the installer, then confirm.
  3. Restart the TV. Following the kit’s instructions, switch it off, unplug it for 30 seconds, then plug it in and turn it on.
  4. Find the TV’s own IP address in Settings → General or Connection → Network → Network Status → IP Settings. Menu names vary by model.
  5. Keep the TV on. The TV IP goes into the installer on your computer; Host PC IP on the TV must contain your computer’s IP. These are different addresses.

On your computer

3.Read your TV’s ID

  1. Return to the installer on your computer. Enter the TV’s IP address when asked, then press Enter.
  2. Wait for Your TV ID. The complete ID is copied to the clipboard and saved in MY TV ID.txt in the extracted kit folder.
  3. Keep the full ID, including any 1.0# or 2.0# prefix. Use the ID read by this installer, not a serial number, MAC address or another ID from the TV’s settings. It is normal that this first kit does not install YAIP.

Telegram

4.Send the ID to the support bot

Open the bot using the button below. Press Start if Telegram asks, or send /samsung. Paste only the complete TV ID from the installer. Wait for the bot to confirm it is saved. You do not need to send a password.

Register my TV on Telegram

Samsung includes TV IDs in the downloadable tester certificate and kit. Your Telegram account stays private. Register only TVs you own; do not post the ID in a public support issue.

Wait for your install kit

If a verified kit already includes your TV, the bot sends its link right away. If a new certificate is needed, the developer starts a batch. Keep the bot chat available for the ready message and future updates. Send /samsung to check your status.

On your computer

5.Download your signed kit and install YAIP

  1. When the bot says your install kit is ready, download the ZIP from that message on your Windows computer or Mac. Use your own bot link: another tester’s kit may not include your TV.
  2. Extract this new ZIP into a new folder. Keep all files together and read READ ME FIRST.txt. Run Install on Windows.cmd or Install on Mac.command again.
  3. Keep Developer Mode on and check Host PC IP still matches your computer. Enter the TV’s current IP in the installer and wait for installation to finish. This time the kit includes your TV and installs YAIP.

Done! YAIP should open on your TV. Next time, open it from the TV’s app list. Add your own playlist to start watching; YAIP does not provide content.

One thing to remember

Keep Developer Mode enabled. If your computer’s IP changes, update Host PC IP on the TV and restart it. For updates, use the newer kit supplied for your TV and run it again. Keep the existing YAIP app; deleting it can remove local profiles and settings.

Need help?

The installer cannot connect to my TV

Check the TV’s current IP, Developer Mode and Host PC IP. The latter must match the computer address shown by the installer. Restart the TV after changing Developer Mode. Use the same home network, not guest Wi-Fi; a VPN can keep devices apart. On Windows, allow sdb on your private network.

Entering 12345 does not open Developer Mode

Open Apps first. On some newer TVs, go to App Settings within Apps before entering 12345 using the number keypad. Menu names vary. If it still does not work, tell support your exact Samsung model.

Why does the first kit say it is not signed for my TV?

That is expected: the TV ID kit only reads your ID. Send the complete ID through /samsung, then wait for the bot’s ready message. Download the signed install kit from that message.

My install kit still asks for a TV ID

Check /samsung for this TV’s status. Download the ready kit from your bot chat and extract it into a new folder; do not run the old ID kit. If the TV is still missing, contact support without deleting the existing app.

Can I install with just a phone or USB stick?

No. Both kits need a Windows computer or Mac on the same network as the TV. The phone can receive the bot message, but download and run the ZIP on the computer. It does not install from USB.

Still stuck? Tell support your TV model, Windows or Mac version, the step and exact error. Hide passwords, playlist links and TV IDs in screenshots. Use /samsung for ID registration.
