Hi i have question about .img files - there is something odd with my TV - he only accept full install firmware only if i have file build like in photo 1 - packed in zip file - and accept only v216 and v343 (dont wanna push trough by v391- (black screen with gear&key error) however it stays in thomson logo like previous... TV shows only error on blue screen in any .img file... checked all img files that i can find here and from 4pda.
[Philips, Sony, TCL Android TV] stasiof:
Pic you attached is OTA file........unzipped is useless.

IMG file has only 1 file after unzip......"Update.img"

Hi, thanks a lot for your help.

I was able to update from v325 (which i haven't seen over there) to 391.

Since many people is asking for these, and most of the links in post#1 are broken, is maybe possible to edit post1 to include only the active/working versions? (not sure if they can be edited after long time).

Also I wanted to point out that i manage to install the OTA update by putting the zip file into the thumb drive (preformated), installed into the TV and after the TV was on, there's an option under the main menu to search update via local, i selected this and did the trick without problems.

I was skeptical if was worthy, because last update was from Android 8 to Android 9 which made thr TV way slow and unresponsive. However the v391 that you have posted solved this to great extent.

Thanks again for your support and help for the entire community.

*MOD EDIT* Translation - I take advantage and introduce myself, because I just registered, I am Toresil, and I hope to learn, help and be well received.

I'm not going to open another thread because I think it's going well here.

I have a TLC 32S615X1 TV that has stayed in continuous bootlop, and I need to put an Img in it to be able to recover it, but I can't find the right one, I have tried a lot.

The chassis and board reference is RT41X RTK2841

TPD.RT2841.PB775.

Let's see if I'm lucky and someone has the same problem and has solved it, I'm very busy now. Come on, thanks in advance.

Aprovecho y me presento, porque acabo de registrarme, soy Toresil, y espero aprender, ayudar y ser bien recibido.

No voy a abrir otro hilo pues creo que aquí va bien.

Tengo una tv TLC 32S615X1 que se ha quedado en bootlop continuo, y necesito meterle una Img para poder recuperarlo, pero no encuentro la justa, he probado un monton.

El chasis y referencia de placa es RT41X RTK2841

TPD.RT2841.PB775.

A ver si tengo suerte y alguno tiene la misma y ha solucionado,estoy muy liado ya.Venga gracias por adelantado.[/b]

[Philips, Sony, TCL Android TV] Toresil:
I have reviewed all the posts this afternoon and I have only found one comment from a forum member with my same TCL 32S615X1 deco model, and I have not seen that he found much of a solution.

I have reviewed pages 38 and 39 that are mentioned, I have tried several Imgs but without any result.

My motherboard says RT41X RTK2841, and I think that's where I have the problem with

this other one V8-R41KT01-LF1V391.09246...

Some images weigh 2 gigabytes and others 1 gigabyte or 1.4...ufff, if someone doesn't give me some advice...

I will try to contact the forum member who has the same TV, to see if he has solved anything.
[Philips, Sony, TCL Android TV] Toresil:

[Philips, Sony, TCL Android TV] Toresil:
Hello friend, I know your post is very old, and I'm sure you're no longer here.

I just wanted to ask you if you have solved the TLC 32S615X1 TV issue by chance. I have one like yours, and I would like to know how it went.

By the way...the Power button is on the back where the USB is.

I just want to know if I can contact you, I hope you read it... regards
[Philips, Sony, TCL Android TV] Specy01:
Hi @Toresil, don't worry, I'm here, I sometimes frequent the xda forum for other things as well. First of all, I want to thank you for showing me where the buttons or power are located, I hadn't noticed it, because when I bought the TV, I positioned it and I didn't move it anymore, only a few cm and sideways and being the back of the TV is in the dark I couldn't see it.

I've always only done one update with the other method, but this was a while ago. I believe it has installed the latest update available. Unfortunately it seems to me that they have stopped with updates for this series.

You can write to me without any problems. Hello, good evening and thank you again 👍
[Philips, Sony, TCL Android TV] Toresil:
First I have to thank you for answering my questions.

Don't tell me you still didn't know where the power button was.

I see that you have solved the TCL problem, you have done it with it working and that zip file is easily available, on the same brand support.
[Philips, Sony, TCL Android TV] Toresil:
The problem is that my television stayed in a continuous Bootloop update, and it only recovers with an image file that is very difficult to get, I have gotten very involved, and here it seems that there is little forum spirit, but we continue... we don't give up...

If you don't mind, I will contact you privately, tell me if I can, and again thank you very much for bothering you.
[Philips, Sony, TCL Android TV] Toresil:
Hello chicoliv, I have seen your post and I want to tell you that you can download those img files from the official TCL Brazil website.

I won't give you the link because I don't know if I can.

I have downloaded the image V8-T221T01-LF1V608.rar for my TCL 32S615 TV, it came out corrupt and you can request it by email or WhatsApp.

I already requested it and they sent you a link to download.😜

Hi, my old TCL tv suddenly is stuck in boot loop. This is the 1st time I encountered this issue. I don't know the firmware version just the model base on the warranty card is 32S65A. After reading some posts here, I downloaded V343 from post #1 which is a .RAR file. I extract into my laptop and it has 2 files, .zip and .pdf. I extract the .zip file but can't find the .img file. Please advise if I downloaded the correct file to resolve my boot loop problem.

You need to flash IMG file (not OTA).

Can be R41KT01 or T221T01.....

Best is to open rear TV cover and check on mainboard.

Thanks! I manage to open the back panel and can see this: downloaded V292 from post#1 which have the UPDATE.img.

RT41X

RTK2841

Everything is in this thread, just need to read.....:)

[Philips, Sony, TCL Android TV] Ahsandon00788:
After updating to v391 ota, my lcd remote power button is not working. Also screen is dimming. As soon i turn lcd on after few seconds screen backlight turns low. How to fix it?
[Philips, Sony, TCL Android TV] basti artadi:
i tried V391 OTA in FAT32 usb and it able to perform the installation update. for me it means the usb is working fine? but after the installation, it did not reaolved the problem. it still in the anrdoid animation loop. but if i use IMG it says ‘System update failed’. Maybe i’m flashing the wrong IMG version. i will try other version and see.
[Philips, Sony, TCL Android TV] basti artadi:
i bought 8 different USB flash drive, tried one by one the IMG version found in post #916 with FAT32, FAT and NTFS but still is not able to proceed with the installation. Always giving me ‘System update failed’. Only when i use OTA it will proceed to install but still not resolved the issue. Not sure if the model S65A has a specific firmware that I need to flash.
[Philips, Sony, TCL Android TV] stasiof:
Only "Update.img" is on USB ?

TV has 1 or 2 USB input ?
[Philips, Sony, TCL Android TV] basti artadi:
if using IMG yes, only “Update.img”. But if OTA, i’m copying the .zip file in USB. TV has only 1 USB input
[Philips, Sony, TCL Android TV] Krush206:
Download Termux on the TV and on a Android mobile device. Run Termux on the TV and input the following commands:

pkg install -y openssh && passwd && sshd

Run Termux on the mobile device and input the following commands:

pkg install -y openssh
ssh -p 8022 <input TV's IP address here>

This'll connect to the SSH server hosted on the TV and bring up Termux's shell environment.

(Do not insert the < and > symbols when inputting the TV's IP address.)

Next step is to download the source code of the AOSP superuser program and install the required tools to successfully edit and compile it. Input the following commands:

pkg install -y root-repo nano build-essential wget
mkdir AOSP\ 9\ sources && cd AOSP\ 9\ sources
wget -O - https://android.googlesource.com/platform/system/core/+archive/3655b3122e299c619cc42b874077e4952fb5fb21.tar.gz | tar -zxvf -
mkdir su && wget -O - https://android.googlesource.com/platform/system/extras/+archive/refs/tags/android-9.0.0_r61/su.tar.gz | tar -C su -zxvf -
nano su/su.cpp

At this point, hold the Volume - key and insert a underline. It should ask which line you want to jump to. Type in 83 and push Enter key.

To move the cursor in the editor, hold the Volume + key and use the W (up), A (left), S (down) and D (right) keys. Comment both lines, 83 and 84, like as follows:

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

Hold the Volume - key and push X key. Confirm to save the changes by pushing Y and Enter key, respectively.

To finish, type in the following commands:

mkdir ../../usr/include/private && cp libcutils/include/private/android_filesystem_config.h ../../usr/include/private/
cp include/private/fs_config.h ../../usr/include/private/
cd su && gcc su.cpp

For this step, make sure debugging mode is enabled on the TV.

Press the CTRL button on Termux and push D key. Now, install ADB and, from ADB shell, copy the program you just compiled to the /system/xbin directory by typing the following commands:

wget -O - https://github.com/MasterDevX/Termux-ADB/raw/master/InstallTools.sh | bash -
adb connect <input TV's IP address here>
adb shell
su
mount -o remount,rw /system && mv system/xbin/su system/xbin/su.bak
cp data/data/com.termux/files/home/AOSP\ 9\ sources/su/a.out system/xbin/su
chmod 0755 system/xbin/su && chown root.shell system/xbin/su && chmod +s system/xbin/su

(Do not insert the < and > symbols when inputting the TV's IP address.)

If you don't want to use a Android mobile device, you may use a UNIX/UNIX-like system or Cygwin on Windows to do all of the above

.
[Philips, Sony, TCL Android TV] MaknaeFx:
thank you very much! It is a very good guide, I no longer see the notices about "needing permissions" but it still doesn't let me do anything that needs root, I press the options and nothing happens, I have to install something like supersu for it to work? If so, how do I do?
[Philips, Sony, TCL Android TV] Krush206:
I'll have to look further into it to investigate the reason. I do think it may be because of incompatibility though. Termux returns a Bad system call error when attempting to use the superuser program, which could mean the superuser program may not work with user applications at all, or, at worst, could be SELinux preventing user applications to make use of the superuser program. The latter would require the source code of the Linux kernel TCL makes use of for this TV.

I have contacted TCL twice, asking how may one get the source code of the Linux kernel (since it's licensed under the GPLv2 license), but I got no response whatsoever.

I'd appreciate if anybody could help in regards to this, by contacting them, too. Working together may get us somewhere.
[Philips, Sony, TCL Android TV] Krush206:
Confirmed it's due to SELinux. Our only hope is to recompile the Linux kernel for this TV without SELinux enforcement.
[Philips, Sony, TCL Android TV] MaknaeFx:
And you can do that? that sounds difficult
[Philips, Sony, TCL Android TV] Krush206:
Sure, it's pretty straightforward. All one must do is set the CONFIG_SECURITY_SELINUX_FORCE_PERMISSIVE flag to true in the kernel configuration file. The only thing I'm doubting is if Termux is able to compile it, because it only offers Clang, not GCC.

Although I've never tried, there's a way to install GCC on Termux.
[Philips, Sony, TCL Android TV] MaknaeFx:
And with this? https://cctools.info/index.php/Term...tools_packages_(gcc_with_fortran_support_etc)
[Philips, Sony, TCL Android TV] Krush206:
I think it's preferable to install from this GitHub repository. It includes a script to automatically set up the repository.

Type in the following, on Termux:

wget -O - https://github.com/its-pointless/its-pointless.github.io/raw/master/setup-pointless-repo.sh | sh -
apt install -y gcc-8
[Philips, Sony, TCL Android TV] MaknaeFx:
And is there a way for me to modify the kernel config file?
[Philips, Sony, TCL Android TV] Krush206:
Yes. Configuration files are stored in the arch/arm/configs directory. The flag is most likely there, but not set. The following command sets the flag as enabled:

sed -i 's/# CONFIG_SECURITY_SELINUX_FORCE_PERMISSIVE is not set/CONFIG_SECURITY_SELINUX_FORCE_PERMISSIVE=y/' arch/arm/configs/ConfigExample_defconfig

If the flag is not there, simply add it to the configuration file:

echo CONFIG_SECURITY_SELINUX_FORCE_PERMISSIVE=y >> arch/arm/configs/ConfigExample_defconfig

Then, to compile, the following does it:

make ConfigExample_defconfig && make -j4

The resulting kernel will be located at the arch/arm/boot directory, named either as zImage or Image.

One thing which still must be figured out is which partition the kernel must be installed to. Oddly enough, there's no kernel partition.

However, once again, nothing can be done, unless TCL publishes the kernel's source code. About two weeks ago, I have contacted GPL violations, reporting this issue. So let's hope they're able to get TCL to publish it.
