Hi, would like to asked for some help, my TCL android tv got stuck. If you have the firmware please share for the TV with model LED 32 S6550S. Thank you.

The android tv was use after a very long time it was kept away, upon updating the tv, it just froze in the android logo.

Hi All,

I have a TLC TV RT41V - RT2841.PB711

I have reset the tv to factory, And now the led flashes only - when I plug in the tv.

Tried to update the firmware with the USB but no luck. I tried different firmware's, different usb sticks, 4GB 8GB, fat/fat32. no success.

i have used the UART and the only think that I get is this:

Hello world, 284x!{uni}[WEI]

Hi, I have an A3 32" Smart tv, v8-r41kt01, It was working fine until I factory reset it because of wifi problem. After Factory reset the applications won't open and I am not able to update the software, The current software is v8-r41kt01-lf1v343.

I tried flashing the V391 but it update stops and says no update package found, and when tv gets on it says the USB drive is corrupted.
[Philips, Sony, TCL Android TV] stasiof:
V391 has OTA zip file and IMG file ("update.img")......

Both can be flashed in IMG method (TV Off....with TV power button, etc...)

USB must be FAT32 formatted...

OTA file must be ZIP.

IMG file must unzip.

Please, refer to the fourth post of this topic. I may no longer answer questions regarding TVs other than the one of this topic.

People who own other TCL TV models should, instead, open new topics. I may, however, in the future, open topics to other TCL TVs.

Yes. Just install the package right away. Don't know if it's possible via OTA packages though.

Yes. It blinks for me.

[Philips, Sony, TCL Android TV] bautifacha:
Hi! Could you help me to enter the download mode? I already tried the following methods but none worked for me

Pressing the power button for 10 seconds when starting the TV

Pressing the power button until the lights blink (they never blinked)

repeat the two previous methods unplugging and plugging in the tv again.

I also tried with the USB plugged in and I still can't enter

What else can I do? I'm already running out of ideas
[Philips, Sony, TCL Android TV] Krush206:
Then you're probably doing it wrongly. Both methods described in the post should work.
[Philips, Sony, TCL Android TV] Bllq21:
How can I get Root access? I already installed the Firmware version that has root, but then what I have to do? I installed SD Maid Pro but the options that requiere root still don't work and installed Magisk Manager but doesn't detect the binary. What should I do?
[Philips, Sony, TCL Android TV] Krush206:
The superuser binary included in 289 release is from AOSP. The AOSP superuser binary is very simple and, by default, only allows the root and shell accounts to make use of it. I haven't tested, but if you want any account to be able to use the AOSP superuser binary, you must compile it from hand and comment the line(s) which disallow users other than root and shell to be able to use it.

Here's the source code for the AOSP superuser binary.

To allow any account to make use of it, comment the line 84. It should look like this:

// if (current_uid != AID_ROOT && current_uid != AID_SHELL) error(1, 0, "not allowed");

Then natively compile it on Termux. You may also cross-compile it using a GNU/Linux system.
[Philips, Sony, TCL Android TV] bautifacha:
I'm doing fine but the light never starts to flicker

could it be something from my tv?

as soon as I plug in the TV, the light blinks for less than a second, but I'm in doubt because it may be a problem with the plug, besides releasing the button at the exact moment doesn't change anything either

I even tried to enter Recovery, Download, Fastboot and Bootloader from ADB (these last two give errors) and I still cannot
[Philips, Sony, TCL Android TV] Krush206:
Which power button do you press? It should be the one from the TV itself, not from the remote controller. For how long do you keep it pressed? You should keep it pressed until the power LED starts to blink, or until something is displayed on the TV.
[Philips, Sony, TCL Android TV] MaknaeFx:
how do I give root permissions to an app? all I did was start with my Google account and install TV Boot, which requires root, but it tells me that I have to give it permissions
[Philips, Sony, TCL Android TV] Krush206:
Install release 289 and read post 94.

You may want to install the openssh package on Termux, for convenience. You can then log into Termux from any device using a SSH client.

Installing the build-essential package on Termux will automatically install all required packages to successfully compile the source code of the AOSP superuser program.
