Description

From the listing uploaded by “appupdater”.

If you got a notice in the Phorus app (or any DTS Play-Fi app) that your wireless audio product needs a special, one-time update, this is the app that will take care of that for you. Simply launch the app, it will automatically discover the affected product, and then it will do the rest of the heavy lifting for you. After you’re done, you can close the app. Pretty simple! You’ll still need to do the usual update after this, but the regular Phorus or DTS Play-Fi app will take care of that for you. If you have any trouble with the update in this utility app, the app will direct you on to other update methods, and you can also reach out to our support email at the bottom of this page. We’ll get you going, no worries.

PR5 Utility APK: questions and answers

Can I install this APK over the version I already have?

Only if it is signed with the same certificate as the copy on your phone and isn't an older version. If Android says “App not installed”, the certificates differ; uninstalling your copy first works but deletes its data unless it is backed up.

Is the PR5 Utility APK safe?

No one can promise that a file is safe, but some things can be checked. The source store rates this file Trusted. It is signed with the same certificate as the other version checked. After downloading, check that the file's MD5 is 16ec8c74d121f2eff952c48786d83b2e.
