[Philips, Sony, TCL Android TV] arun7129:
Yes, but i got new firmware R868... So i update it... But in R868... 23 Dec 2020 showing. In R579 kernel version was March, 2021... I am confused now... R579 to R868.... How is it possible kernel version can decreased.....
[Philips, Sony, TCL Android TV] stasiof:
R868 is older ( date is stated in my post ) then R579.

R version didn't follow V numbering.

Today can be R788 and after a month R455 or R041.

You should ask before updating.....in my posts is always mentioned that R579 is latest.

Hi Everone, I am really in need of help here regarding MY TCL 50P6US.

It was stuck on TCL logo and when chatting with support they provided me with .pkg file to update via usb service port. I followed the process and it was on update screen and the power got cut off. Now the TV is not responding . I can just see the power button lit up and nothing else. It wont respond to any clicks. I tried to update again but its not responding as i cannot see anything on the screen. And unfortunately i dont have original receipt for warranty claim and stucked with completely fine but bricked TV.

If there is any solution or procedures to make it working again that would be great. Thanks in advance

Remove pen drive firstly, then switch on the tv. Tv will be functional.... Then after reboot your tv and insert pen drive and then flash the update..... It will take few minutes... Don't be panic....

Hello guys, I am hoping you can help me. I just got a tcl tv and I am disappointed, because I can't return it back. I can't even access date and time to change them. They all write in Chinese, YouTube blocks my access to the tv when I try. The model is tcl l40e5800us

[Philips, Sony, TCL Android TV] Lasard:
Hello together,

i think, i made a huge mistake. During the start of my TCL U65C7006 (while showing these android rings) i plugged the TV out because the booting took very very long and nothing happend.

Now, when the TV is plugged in, in starts immediately but only shows the TCL Logo.

Did I break it? Do you have any solution?

Thanks in advance for your help!
[Philips, Sony, TCL Android TV] AVPhilic:
Hi, yes probably you might need to do a fresh install of the firmware. Plug in the USB stick with the appropriate firmware that has an img boot file and not OTG file, with the TV in the standby mode press & hold the power button until the LED flashes and initiates the firmware to boot on the screen. Wait with patience for the installation to complete and start setting up your TV with the onscreen instructions. I am sure you will be able to find a boot file matching to your firmware in the forums. Good luck!
[Philips, Sony, TCL Android TV] Lasard:
Thanks for the quick response!

I already search for a suitable firmware but the most links i found were "dead". Any tips where i should look exactly?

Next problem: The TV is never in standby. When i plug it in, it starts.. no chance to start in manually. :/

[Philips, Sony, TCL Android TV] Lasard:
Thanks! Sadly, it still doesn't work.

I tried it and after a few seconds the progress bar disappears an the TV says "ERROR".

I tried different usb ports and usb sticks.

My procedure so far: The TV only recognizes zip files. I copy the zip file on the usb stick, put it in the usb port and hold the power button while pluging the TV in... with your first firmeware the TV stops at 20-25%, with the PKG it stops after a few seconds..

Any last tips? I'm slowly losing hope.. :(

Try older PKG files.....

Use USB Port 3 Not Port 2.

I tried it several times with three different versions. It now shows a different update message: A small sign called "tip" with the message "Please do not power off during updating.

Hello, I have read the entire thread from page 1 to 9. I got the .pkg files to flash/install the FW on my TCL U55P6046 since its stuck on the Android animation circles.

However, i have the FW update.pkg in a FAT32 formatted USB 2.0 which inserted in the service port on the back of the TV, so I hold down the middle (Power) button under the TCL logo in front of the TV, and plug in the power cord, it wont go to any firmware update or anything, it just keeps on switching off, and switching on constantly till i let go of the button.

I have tried 3 different USB sticks, tried multiple different files and no luck.

Note that when connecting the power cord the TV comes to live immediately without having to press any power button or anything. And when the animated circles are in play, you can't turn off the TV, beside unplugging it.

Any help is highly appreciated.

Hello there, when I decided that I wanted to change my ROM from the TGP ROM to my old backuped Resurrection Remix ROM I've saw that my IMEI code was unknown. I have made couple of TWRP backups of my EFS partition, but restoring it from there won't help. When I installed the TGP ROM, I also installed through the Aroma installer the new Modem and Bootloader. Could've that been the problem. Should I stay away from the ROM since it used the old Modem/Bootloader?
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] cooltt:
First thing you need to do is get your imei back or the phone is useless. Flash current stock and hope for the best.

I have never experienced this problem and I've flashed hundreds of devices. When I flash a new rom I flash as is off the developer and leave aroma options at default. Once the rom is working then I mod afterwards

[Xiaomi Mi 9 Questions & Answers] Mastamike:
Hi,

This is an known fact that Xiaomi does not implement fully compatible carrier aggregation for European mobile networks.

In EU, users of mi 8, mi mix 2, redmi pro,... Reported they cannot use 4g+ due to impossible inter carrier aggregation combinations ( eg b3+b7).

Is mi 9 the first Xiaomi device that allows correct full 2CA or 3 CA for European market ?

Does somebody already test it ?

Is it still the same situation ? Which means we have no possibility to have fully working 4g+ outside China and India ?
[Xiaomi Mi 9 Questions & Answers] RedWave31:
On the EEA version, you've got at least 4G+ and 3CA.

Sorry for the big images, but it's not likely anyone else will reply anyway.

On those images, you can see up to 3CA on bands 1/7/20, 2CA on 1/7 or 7/20 or 3/7.

I'm at a weak LTE location, but I won't really think about it in the middle of Paris.

Links if images don't work. Edit : XDA is so wrong I have to add a space.

Can I ask what app you are using to test 2ca and 3ca. This looks handy and I am having an issue with getting LTE+. I have the Chinese variant, and am currently downloading the global rom to install on it and see if LTE+ starts working.
[Xiaomi Mi 9 Questions & Answers] RedWave31:
Network Signal Guru, they're doing auto-promotion in the banner on top of each screenshot ;)
[Xiaomi Mi 9 Questions & Answers] Mastamike:
Thank you for your answer.

So, can we assume the mi 9 is the first Xiaomi device fully operational in EU ?

Xiaomi has always been shady (to say the least) concerning Carrier Aggregation.
[Xiaomi Mi 9 Questions & Answers] Mastamike:
Did you have the possibility to check if the mi 9 can correctly aggregate b3/b7 and b3/b20?

I'm from Belgium and the 3 operators use mostly b3/b20 and sometimes b3/b7. It should be very similar in Netherlands.
[Xiaomi Mi 9 Questions & Answers] SKiLLa XP:
I still have to wait another 100+ hour for my unlock, so I cannot show you the details (need root), but I'm pretty sure the 3ca is working, as I got my carrier's full 225 Mbps speed at some locations (as in: real-life performance) including the 4G+ and VoLTE icons too.

EDIT: 225Mbps could still be 2CA technically, so I dug a bit deeper into the (official Dutch) specs:

4G: LTE FDD: B1 / 2/3/4/5/7/8/12/20/28; LTE TDD: B38 / B39 / B40

3G: WCDMA: B1 / B2 / B4 / B5 / B8; TDSCDMA: B34 / B39; CDMA EVDO BC0

2G: GSM: B2 / B3 / B5 / B8; CDMA 1X: BC0

And 4x4 MIMO | HPUE | HO RxD

Please also note that I do still need to do the *#*#4636#*#* trick to set the modem to LTE/WCDMA on

each

reboot to prevent Cell Standby drain and reception issues on my official global ROM (10.2.9.0); can't wait for the unlock waiting-period to be over ...

PS: I believe the Cell Drain to be caused (at least partially) by not only searching for those unused frequencies in Europe by default, but also when it actually finds a working legacy 2G or 3G frequency, it desperately tries to keep that connection alive in standby-/sleep-modus instead of using higher speed 3G and 4G frequencies to try & save battery, but because legacy frequency towers are very sparse and far between in my country (they're even talking about killing 3G off in a few years already), it actually drains the battery way more than simply using that stellar 4G signal from the brandnew tower just a few hundred meters away.
[Xiaomi Mi 9 Questions & Answers] RedWave31:
There is an old application called 4G LTE Switch that does this number for you and is very lightweight. You can also set a contact tho.

It still doesn't force LTE on reboot, I don't know ANY application that does this. And you shouldn't, because sometimes, rebooting a phone in a car while driving because you have an urgent call to make in a 2G environment and GSM won't activate is enough distraction.
[Xiaomi Mi 9 Questions & Answers] Mastamike:
It's a shame and quite disrespectful for European consumers that Xiaomi does not configure and set the mobile properly according to the country they are selling.

Even if you dig the internet, there are no datas nor proofs that mi 9 can correctly aggregate carriers outside China.

And as all predecessors were unable to do it, we have to rely on good willing people here on XDA.
[Xiaomi Mi 9 Questions & Answers] emprazol:
I can confirm that mi 9 is the first phone from xiaomi that support 4.5G in my country (b3+b7)
[Xiaomi Mi 9 Questions & Answers] SKiLLa XP:
You can also click one of the menu's in the About Device screen (kinda like Developer Tools) as well to access the menu, or use the MiAppa app (which even gives access to some ROM settings that are still fully in Chinese). I did add it as a contact too, but dialing the contact with the built-in dialer doesn't work and by now I can dream that number anyway :) I noticed more system-related settings the MIUI ROM resets/overrides when rebooting.
[Xiaomi Mi 9 Questions & Answers] 4Freedom:
I can confirm too. It works fine
[Xiaomi Mi 9 Questions & Answers] Mastamike:
Thank you but can you tell us which country are you from ?

And were you able to verify (network signal guru or other with root) if you were able to aggregate b3/b20 and b3/7; or even 3 CA b3/b7/b20 ?
