As long as the update is for your TV's chassis, there's nothing to be concerned about. So yes, you can use it.

As I said, I haven't used Kodi for that purpose, nor do I use it often, so I can't really help with that.
[Philips, Sony, TCL Android TV] mahipat:
not asking for specifically kodi , haven't tried with any other player too ?

also have you tried streaming jiotv channels ?

for me and few other users also reported that other players can't play HEVC media but works only with default media player and jio channels also don't work properly due to codec issue

i am looking for solution from long time
[Philips, Sony, TCL Android TV] Krush206:
Well, since I have never watched locally stored media, I've no clue about a fix.

In a WhatsApp group, some users have complained about a black screen issue on certain streaming apps, though. I do remember of experiencing a black screen issue, only once, but I don't remember what I did to fix it.

Thank you.

Seems like 14 patches were applied to the kernel. On the previous version, 242, there were 119 patches applied. On this new version, 245, there are 133 patches applied.

Can I update TCL 32ES560 to v255?

I have software version v8-r41kt01-lf1v216.007242 and tv os version v5.2.0 and I have problems with USB drives - if one usb drive works and stays in the USB port for a week it becomes "corrupted"but it works on PC. It doesnt matter is it exFAT, FAT32 or NTFS it becomes unreadable for the TV. The problem only fixes with TV factory restore! Any suggestions?

Hi I have a Hitachi that is virtually exactly the TCL 6500, it's the same device only with the "Hitachi" brand on it, even the cablebox remote control had to be pair with TCL code number and the software version of mine starts correctly with V8-R41KT01-LF1, should I try to update with these packages? Those this updates arrive at least later or the TV will update only to android 9 via manual update?

Greetings to all,

I have the 32es560 with FW241 and I would like to solve the ethernet problem that disconnects with VPN.

On the TCL website I find the FW V8-R851T02-LF1V252.011680 available but it looks for RT51, but my TV is RT41 chassis, does it work the same? is it the latest firmware? Is it an error on the TCL website?

Has anyone managed to solve the ethernet and VPN problem with Android TV P?

Tks
[Philips, Sony, TCL Android TV] GabrielZ07:
I tried both the OTA and the full firmware install and both installed without a single issue, even the TV started with the "Hitachi" logo and everything so it went just like an official update, the latest firmware (v255) that some user posted here didn't gave me any issues at all, I could even say that it runs better than the original, and they improved some image settings related options, so go for it, if the chasis model number match shouldn't be a problem then, the system checks anyway if the firmware it's valid for installation.
[Philips, Sony, TCL Android TV] MarDeve:
Do you confirm that from the official TCL website as software for the 32ES560 it does download V8-R851T02-LF1V252? I currently have 241 for RT41, is this update file correct? seems to refer to another chassis.

Also because in this topic I don't see a 252 referred to chassis 41.

Can anyone clarify this?

Also: has anyone encountered problems with ethernet and VPN with Android P?
[Philips, Sony, TCL Android TV] Tbo29:
Should be in English in this Forum. Could be an CRC error in the zip file when you downloaded. Try to redownload it.

Potrebbe essere il file zip corrotto. Prova di scaricarlo di nuovo. Da me ha fatto l'aggiornamento dalla 369 alla 374 senza problemi.

Hai scaricato OTA o lo zip con IMG? Le procedure per aggiornare il firmware sono differenti. Guarda dentro il zip. Se c'e solo un file con estensione .img non è OTA. Nello zip con OTA ci sono 16 file e 2 cartelle. Quello puoi aggiornare via "Local Update".

[Philips, Sony, TCL Android TV] negmatoff:
Hi all! Please help.

After updating the firmware automatically, s65A TV started rebooting automatically and gives error "No command". I've tried installing other firmware, after finishing the installation, the TV reboots and starts the installation process again. I waited for several hours, the re-installation process did not stop. After another installation cycle I turned off the TV. After a few hours I turned it on, it started up, I thought the problem was solved, but after a few minutes it turned off again and the message "No command" appeared. Who has encountered this problem? How to fix it?

Originally i've have v144 firmware.

I did not find this file on this forum so i download the v216, after extract che image file i copied it into an empty pendrive (fat32). I unplugged the tv, put the usb into the only port, plug the tv but nothing change. Now is ever with black screen, no sound no remote controlled and power led blinking..
