How to Restore the App Store, Blue TV, and Blue VOD on SuperBox After Factory Reset or Missing App Store
If you factory reset your SuperBox or suddenly lost access to the App Store, Blue TV, and Blue VOD are gone too — and they won’t come back on their own. These apps are not available through any standard Android app store, so most users assume the box is permanently broken. It isn’t. As long as the browser still works, you can manually reinstall the App Store in about 10 minutes using a short download URL. This guide covers every model from the S4 through the S7 series (Pro, Max, and Ultra) as of 2026.
Why the App Store Disappears
The SuperBox App Store is a proprietary launcher — it is not the Google Play Store and cannot be downloaded from any external source after removal. It disappears in three scenarios:
- Factory reset: All system apps including the App Store, Blue TV, and Blue VOD are wiped
- Failed or interrupted firmware update: The OTA process corrupts the App Store install
- Outdated TV ROM Updater: An old OTA app version causes the App Store to silently uninstall on reboot
The App Store is not hosted publicly for download. SuperBox instead provides short redirect URLs that point to the official APK on their servers. These URLs change periodically — the ones below were verified as of April 2026.
Before You Start: What You Will and Won’t Get Back
| Item | Recoverable? |
|---|---|
| App Store (the launcher) | ✅ Yes — reinstall via browser |
| Blue TV app | ✅ Yes — reinstall from App Store |
| Blue VOD app | ✅ Yes — reinstall from App Store |
| Your channel list / favorites | ❌ No — permanently lost |
| Custom app settings | ❌ No — permanently lost |
| Subscription status | ✅ Yes — log back in after reinstall |
If you did a factory reset, your channel favorites and custom configurations are gone permanently. The steps below restore the apps, not your saved data.
Step 1: Try a Power Cycle First
Before doing anything else, unplug the SuperBox from power, wait 30 seconds, and plug it back in. Let it fully boot (this takes 60–90 seconds on S7 models). On some models, a clean reboot after a failed update will restore the App Store automatically.
If the App Store icon appears after the reboot, open it and skip to Step 8 below — the TV ROM Updater update is critical and must be done even if the App Store came back on its own.
Step 2: Confirm Your Internet Connection
The App Store download requires an active internet connection. Navigate to Settings → Network on the SuperBox home screen and confirm Wi-Fi is connected or your Ethernet cable is plugged in. If using Wi-Fi, a weak signal can cause download failures mid-way through — move the SuperBox closer to your router if possible, or use the Ethernet port instead. S7 series models support Wi-Fi 6 and 1000Mbps Ethernet.
Step 3: Open the SuperBox Browser
From the SuperBox home screen, navigate to the Browser app and press OK on the remote. The built-in browser will open. The address bar requires mouse mode to type in — you cannot type a URL using the directional buttons alone.
Step 4: Enable Mouse Mode on the Remote
To type the download URL in the browser address bar:
- Press the Mouse button on your SuperBox remote (it looks like a cursor arrow icon)
- A white cursor will appear on screen
- Use the directional pad to move the cursor to the address bar at the top of the browser
- Click the address bar to select it
- A virtual keyboard will appear
On the S7 Pro, Max, and Ultra remotes, the mouse mode button is on the right side above the volume keys. On older S5 and S6 remotes, it’s typically in the center button cluster.
Step 5: Enter the App Store Download URL
Type one of the following URLs into the address bar. These are official SuperBox download mirrors, verified as working in April 2026:
| URL | How It Works |
|---|---|
| 143325.cc | Auto-download — APK starts downloading immediately on page load |
| 143326.cc | Manual — page opens, click the App icon to start download |
| 108088.cc | Backup auto-download |
| 10807.cc | Backup manual download |
Click Go or press Enter. If a URL fails or returns an error, try the next one in the list. Use the number buttons on your remote to type digits — they are faster than finding each number on the virtual keyboard.
Step 6: Handle the Download Permission Prompt
On S6 and S7 models, Chrome may show a security warning: “This type of file can harm your device. Keep anyway?” — select Keep. If Chrome blocks the download entirely, navigate to Settings → Apps → Security & Restrictions → Unknown Sources and enable permission for Browser or Chrome. Then return to the browser and retry the URL.
Step 7: Install the App Store APK
Once the download completes, a notification appears at the bottom of the browser. Tap Open to install immediately. If you missed the notification, go to File Manager → Local Memory → Download, open appstore.apk, and select Install. Wait 15–30 seconds for installation to finish, then tap Done.
If the install fails with “App not installed,” the APK download was incomplete. Delete the file from File Manager, return to the browser, and retry with a different URL from the table above.
Step 8: Update TV ROM Updater Immediately
This is the most important step in the entire process. Skipping it is why most people end up repeating this guide a second time — the App Store disappears again on the next reboot if the TV ROM Updater is out of date.
- Exit the browser and open the freshly installed App Store
- Find TV ROM Updater (also labeled OTA Updater) — it will show an “Update” badge if outdated
- Tap it once to update the app itself
Target versions as of 2026: OTA Updater app version V2025051720 or higher, System ROM version 20250518 or higher. If the TV ROM Updater shows a version below V2025051720, update it before moving on.
Step 9: Run the Full System ROM Update
After updating the TV ROM Updater app itself, open it from the App Store or your Apps menu. If a system ROM update is available, tap Download and let it complete — this file is large, so allow 5–15 minutes depending on your connection. After download, tap Install, confirm the reboot when prompted, and wait 3–5 minutes for the full boot cycle.
Do not unplug the SuperBox during ROM installation. A power interruption mid-update can brick the device and require factory service to fix.
Step 10: Verify App Store Stability
After the system comes back up, open the App Store and confirm these three apps are present: App Store, OTA Launcher, and TV ROM Updater. Reboot the SuperBox one more time manually via Settings → System → Reboot. After this second reboot, confirm the App Store icon still appears on the home screen. If it disappears again, repeat Steps 8 and 9 — the ROM update did not complete successfully.
Step 11: Reinstall Blue TV and Blue VOD
With a stable App Store:
- Open App Store
- Find Blue TV in the app list and tap Install
- After Blue TV installs, find Blue VOD and install it
- Open each app and log back in with your subscription credentials
Your channel list must be rebuilt manually — SuperBox does not offer cloud backup for channel configurations. All favorites are gone and must be re-added from scratch.
Alternative Method: Install via USB Drive
If the browser download fails repeatedly — common on slow connections or when all mirror URLs are temporarily down — install via USB instead:
- On a Windows or Mac computer, open a browser and go to 143326.cc
- Download the
appstore.apkfile to your computer - Copy the APK to a FAT32-formatted USB drive (USB 2.0 or 3.0)
- Insert the USB into the SuperBox’s USB port
- Open File Manager on the SuperBox and navigate to the USB drive
- Tap
appstore.apkand select Install - Continue from Step 8 (TV ROM Updater update) above
Compatible SuperBox Models
This process works identically on the S4, S4 Pro, S5 Max, S5 Pro, S6 Max, S6 Pro, S6 Ultra, and the full S7 series (Pro, Max, Ultra). The S7 lineup launched in late 2025 uses the same App Store architecture as earlier models — the download URLs and installation steps are identical. S7 models just download faster thanks to 1000Mbps Ethernet and Wi-Fi 6.
Preventing the App Store From Disappearing Again
The most common cause of repeat App Store loss is an outdated TV ROM Updater that silently fails on reboot. To prevent this: open TV ROM Updater once a month and check for pending updates, install any available updates promptly, and avoid factory resetting unless absolutely necessary. If the App Store disappears again without a factory reset, run Steps 8 and 9 only — you won’t need to repeat the full browser download process.
Yeah big dawg you super helped me reset it. These steps 100% work and thank you a lot
Looking for a little help, my S5 pro will not install app store, says devices forbidden. ive tried many links and all reboots, just wondering if anybody had any advice. completely reset the box as well. anything helps, thx.
So quick question, is the s5 pro blacklisted or maybe just mine. none of the links work and i keep getting the dreadful devices forbidden message. tried like 5 different ones and none worked. tia!
Thank you so much. I was able to fix this with your help. We are finally up and running again!! Now to figure out how to pair my Smartbox remote to the modem to turn it on and off with the remote
Thank you so much!! We were going nuts and I was about to buy a new box. You fixed it for us and I appreciate it.
THANKS! Worked, would have never fixed it my self
This helped! Thank you!
I would like to say thank you. This was exactly what I was looking for. I want you to know, we love our SuperBox S6 max. It’s saved us what we paid in the first year. I was going to get a new one, but we just can’t afford the tariffs and the exchange. We may be boycotting everything US, but you’re our secret….LOL!!
Thanks again
