Hello, good afternoon. Excuse the English, I'm from Argentina. I have a TCL P725 50", I installed version V477, and I have a problem when Dolby Vision is activated, the image starts to flicker up and down in brightness. Does anyone have the same problem and any solution for this? Install the file through IMG, I decompressed the file, I transferred it to the pendrive and installed it by turning off the TV and holding down the POWER button to install it...

Also, I have a problem with HDMI ARC. I have an LG SN4 bar, it only works in PCM, sometimes it stops working, sometimes the sound is disabled when Dolby Atmos is activated. I understand that the TRANSFER option is correct so that the bar decodes all the sound and does not lose quality. But I couldn't make it work with any version, the sound cuts off if I activate TRANSFER....
[Philips, Sony, TCL Android TV] Extreme26:
Hi, just installed V 477 , NO PROBLEMS WITH DOLBY VISION NOR SOUNDBAR EARC , NETFLIX WORKS JUST GREAT ... DOLBY VISION AND ATMOS !

maybe reinstall and reset everything?

Hope You'll be good

Good luck.
[Philips, Sony, TCL Android TV] solman67:
Sorry, not working.....
[Philips, Sony, TCL Android TV] stasiof:
What you change (rename)?

For everybody on R183 is working.

Your download file is ...V8-R51MT05-LF1V477.zip,

need to rename to V8-R51MT05-LF1R477.zip.

Copy V8-R51MT05-LF1R477.zip to USB FAT32 drive and....

TV setting....About...Software update...Local update.

Be sure TV recognise USB drive ,when inserted in TV.

If not ,need other USB drive.
[Philips, Sony, TCL Android TV] solman67:
This is what i did....but not BEFORE copying it to the usb...I changed it with the archive on the usb...will try again....

Usb is recognized and works well with with IMG updates....

Will try again.

Thanks

Edit: Not working, once I put back the USB to the PC some files appeared on it but nothing more, the TV says no update file on USB....will install 468 IMG and then update and configure it all again....hope that works
[Philips, Sony, TCL Android TV] chichichaucha:
then I have to install from Local Update. And once version 477 is installed, do I have to do the hard reset? first install version from local update and then format?
[Philips, Sony, TCL Android TV] solman67:
V477 installed, but had to install 468 IMG and then 477 Ota and working at first attempt. Dont know why the update did not work with R183 and changing the name...
[Philips, Sony, TCL Android TV] wernsus:
It is working with R183 too. You have to install the V477.zip on tv like img and it is updating...TV off, hold Power Button,TV is blinking, leave Button and thats it...
[Philips, Sony, TCL Android TV] solman67:
I tried it as local update and with stasiofs instructions but no way...now its installed, first v468 image and then ota with local update to 477...Thanks for info, next time i'll try

[Philips, Sony, TCL Android TV] Filip95_PL:
* OTA *

1. Download the zip

2. Copy the zip to a USB drive (FAT32)

3. Connect to TV (preferably USB 2.0)

4. In settings -> update -> select local update

* IMG *

1. Download the zip

2. Unpack the zip (sometimes it contains one IMG file, sometimes several files) and copy it to a USB drive (FAT32)

3. Connect it to your TV

4. Turn off the TV by holding down the power button on the remote control and click turn off.

5. Then press and hold the power button on the TV (not on the remote control) for 5 seconds until it flashes and wait for it to install

Is the Quick start problem fixed in the actual Google version V481 ?

I am using now last Android version 315, the issue is still present. 43CC725
[Philips, Sony, TCL Android TV] Filip95_PL:
I have a 50C725 and I have no problem with a quick start and I tested from v272 to v481 and I had no problem with it.
[Philips, Sony, TCL Android TV] romansavov:
The only reasonable explanation that i have for this is that you own a TV from the second edition C72 since '2022 that comes out of the box with Google software , not like mine with Android 11. Although with some previous Google versions, like 427 or 435, i didn't have that problem too. Does your automatic update work ?

[Philips, Sony, TCL Android TV] stasiof:
Network update "auto update" will not come to your model, as you change to GTV.

Maybe if you stay on Android TV, will come.....(V315).

[Philips, Sony, TCL Android TV] ilpincio85:
Same for me. 482 ota bricked TV.

Re-flashing IMG 481 solved the problem
[Philips, Sony, TCL Android TV] stasiof:
Flash first with V418 or V427 IMG file and after try V482 OTA.

V482 OTA is with older security patch and older fingerprint...

Even after buying a C725 TV I had a v272 Android TV and I did not receive any update e.g. 277 which I had to install manually via usb

I will add that I also have a C715 TV with Android TV and never got an online update to a newer eg.715

Thank you
[Philips, Sony, TCL Android TV] solman67:

Do not understand this firmware behaviour with quickstart, patches going back etc. It is like TCL do not know what they are doing. Normally issues are solved and do not come back, with these guys you never know what happens, its like a lottery. Its my opinion...

Greetings all - My TV (75S546) is currently running software version V8-R51MT05-LF1V277.020603 - is there a recommended version my model of TV should be running?
[Philips, Sony, TCL Android TV] stasiof:
Yes, look for V306 in this thread....for your model S546.

Hello everyone,

I bought a TCL 75c725 last summer which I am satisfied with. Today I finally received the first TV update after a year...

The TV has downloaded and installed V8-R51MT02-LF1V315.

New options have appeared and in terms of fluidity I find it better than my initial version.

On the other hand, since the update I have lost Dolby and DTS on my bose which is connected in eARC, it remains in LPCM2.0 ... is there a solution to put it back? because temporarily I put back in SPDIF but when I want to put the sound of the TV to 0 the mute logo remains displayed ...

Thanks in advance for your suggestion.

sorry for my english i am french
[Philips, Sony, TCL Android TV] Tirofog:
To get rid of the mute symbol I use the 3.5mm jack plug cut from an old cable in the earphones socket to mute the tv, then just increase the volume slightly.
[Philips, Sony, TCL Android TV] Worldtraveler22:

Hi

I have a 55C725K (so UK version) that has just received an automatic update from TCL recently. Not surprisingly, a tv that worked, now doesnt work properly haha. I cant control my soundbar as it would connect via CEC (it worked fine before), so I've had to resort to plugging a headphone jack in to mute the TV speakers (thanks to the poster above).

Now, I can obviously downgrade back to the previous firmware, but I wondered if anyone has tried the normal C725 firmware on a K (UK version) model and didnt end up bricking the tv or anything, or if its even possible to load non UK firmware?

I appreciate this has been asked before, but I couldnt find anything recent, so just wondered if things have changed?

My TV:

V8-R51MT02-LF1V143

ATV 9

C725K

Hi, i've bought a 43p725 2 days ago with v8-r51mt02-lf1v246. 019660 firmware installed, no update found. I've got wifi and bluetooth not working, i can't turn on both, when try to switch the toggle in the menu nothing happens. Do you thing is a software issue that a firmware update could be solve it or an hardware issue? Seems that v267 is available for my TV? I'm from Italy

Update to V267 and check.
[Philips, Sony, TCL Android TV] djblackfm:
Hi,

Sorry if this is asked before. I just bought an export set (Japan) of TCL c825. It seems that Dolby Vision has issues, that have the sound but no picture (all black screen) while using Nvidia shield. Using the TV itself the Netflix has like buffering has issues unable to get a clear image. Disney+ unable to load the movie at all.

Any chance could it be the firmware issues? Hope to get some sharing on this.
[Philips, Sony, TCL Android TV] IllClown:
It doesn't work. I've seen that MAC address for wireless is strange, there are all zeros except for the first couple of numbers...
[Philips, Sony, TCL Android TV] stasiof:
As I know C825 Japan version is downgrade from Europe version.

Old Realtek SoC RT51M and only 2GB of RAM.

Not worth at all, waste of money.

Edit:

Japan C825 same spec as P725 or C725.

If any chance RETURN back Japan C825 TV !
[Philips, Sony, TCL Android TV] stasiof:
So,stay with V246 firmware or try V256 IMG file first, then after update to V267.
[Philips, Sony, TCL Android TV] IllClown:
I expressed myself badly. I've updated to V267, but wifi and bluetooth still doesn't work. Now i try to downgrade to V256 with .img file like you said...i think is the last chance...then i gave my tv back and hope they have one fully funcional!
[Philips, Sony, TCL Android TV] stasiof:
After flashing, you can also try "ResetAll" and "Reset Shop" in service menu.

Or after flash IMG file maybe ....Factory reset.

For WiFi also check your router.
[Philips, Sony, TCL Android TV] djblackfm:
@stasiof thank you for your reply. I did not know about this. I'm talking to the vendor currently. Is there any chance which will you recommend if the Europe version is sold out. Which model should I go for?
[Philips, Sony, TCL Android TV] stasiof:
If Europe C825 model is sold, then no MiniLED for you.

Closes is C728 QLED ,but original version , same spec as Europe C825 ,only no MiniLED and no soundbar at the bottom.
