I own a 50P815 and I'm from Europe, will this work on my device? I'm running V8-R51MT02-LF1V191.019582 on it, it's the firmware I got from their "nordic" page, but that page doesn't work anymore and I can't see if there's any update available for my device.

For some reason I can't use HDMI port 2 and 3 for any device, even when they are all labled the same, except the 1st for ARC! The Android box (digicorder) from my internet/TV suplier only works with HDMI 3 and the same counts for my PS5 and PC/MacPro. HDMI 1 is in use with a soundbar for the ARC signal, so I sort of hope updating the firmware of the device would solve the issue I have so I don't need to swap cable constantly anymore and perhaps solve the sometimes slow respons in the main menu.
[Philips, Sony, TCL Android TV] stasiof:
Again, this firmware above is for JAPAN models.....

Your 50P815 (Android TV 9) can update with V8-R51MT02-LF1V315.020654 OTA file (Android TV 11)...or any R51MT02 file.

Thanks for your reply. Yeah, I know we're still stuck on Android 9 officially, but just referring to this post, if I was going to install another region's Android 11 version to see how it works, which version would I be best using? and any idea what kind of things are likely to be incompatible? Is it likely to be just streaming apps, etc?

Thanks again for your assistance here.

I'm going to try and flash this version that you had shared yesterday. A last couple of questions, coming from v8-R51MT02 V191 to this, is there anything I need to flash first? Just if you know, or can I jump straight to the linked img file?

And secondly, I've flashed the .zip updates before, so first .IMG update, for these am I right in saying it goes on the root of a USB, unplug the TV, plug it back in whilst holding power button for 5 seconds, and it will flash the image?

Your assistance is much appreciated

Так в общем давно меня беспокоит проблема, 65с825 на HDR 10, не хватает. Не знаю, это мой личный баг или у кого-то еще, но если выбрать "игру" в режиме HDR 10, то яркость становится более резкой (больше яркости 100 и гамма +4) без привязки к цвету слайдера, я бы сказал даже яркости повышение . А если после выбора игры переключиться на IMAX или кино, то точно так же, пока пользуешься, если не нажмешь, то она резко падает. А вот режим HDR10+ просто тёмный и никак это не исправить. Перепробовал все прошивки и АТВ и ГТВ этот баг везде

Mod translation: So in general, the problem has been bothering me for a long time, 65s825 on HDR 10 is not enough. I don’t know if this is my personal bug or someone else’s, but if you select “game” in HDR 10 mode, then the brightness becomes sharper (greater than brightness 100 and gamma +4) without reference to the color of the slider, I would even say brightness increase . And if, after choosing a game, you switch to IMAX or cinema, then in the same way, while you use it, if you don’t press it, then it drops sharply. But the HDR10 + mode is just dark and there is no way to fix it. I tried all the firmware and ATV and GTV this bug is everywhere

[Philips, Sony, TCL Android TV] mariosbbs:
Hello stasiof, please can you explain to me a couple of things ? I have 55C725 (the EU qled version). Until some minutes ago I never tried to upgrade this TV ( until now only 1 OTA "V8-R51MT02-LF1V315" )

The problem is (since I've purchased this TCL) the extremely slow processing speed and the orrible / limited Android TV channels editing. .because of this I have always used an Nvidia Shield Pro + an Octagon SF8008 (with variuos E2 images + the "Define" image). With the OTA (the "315" version) it's has worsened !!! Very often it stop to react at all and after 30/60 seconds Android TV reboot. After the 1st reboot I can use it for a long time (don't know exactly how many time and if it reboot again). Tired of this problem I've tried the Google TV version (488) and works (it's flashed only 45 minutes ago so I've haven't tried / used the 55C725)

Only noticed:

1) the "list" key on the remote does not work (this is normal ?)

2) none OTA has been detected

3) The "dolby vision" on HDMI / Nvidia Shield Pro now works. Before I'm going "crazy" because can get only the audio with black screen

The questions:

1) The 501 version work or not on this model ? (I've read somewhere that works only on 2022 produced pieces )

2) The latest Android TV version is the "315" ?

3) Do you have experienced issues with the BlueTooth on this models/generation ? (1st of all: sometimes when I connect the headphones the audio output still on also over the speakers ! So I must turn off/on the headphones one time and after this I can use the headphones without other problems. The second problem is the headphones volume !! Sometimes when I turn on the headphones the volume is LOW or like if it's MUTED.. some other times the volume is perfeclty at the same level it was when I've turned off the headphones!

(I have varous headphones: Sony, Skull Candy, JBL.. and the problem is the same. So.. )

Many thanks (to everyone that want or can tell me something) :)
[Philips, Sony, TCL Android TV] stasiof:

[Philips, Sony, TCL Android TV] stasiof:
First, when you update system with OTA file, need to run "ResetAll and Reset shop"

Type this words in search and you will found, as is many times posted.

Best thing is factory reset, but need to install apps again.

Second, disable by default unused apps (debloat) and do not install a tons of crazy apps...

Third, be sure you have latest google apps updates installed.

If you prefer stay on Google TV, buy remote control for GTV system.

When GTV installed, is depend of your TV Project ID to receive auto update or not.

1) if V488 works, so will also V501

2) Yes

3) No idea
[Philips, Sony, TCL Android TV] mariosbbs:
Ok, many thanks. I always use the "factory reset".

about the "list" key on remote., it's working once installed the 496 version (??)

Sory for ask, but since this is the 1st time that I "play" with this TCL and the 3d is 98 page larger ..

I think that the Google TV runs faster and smoother,

unfortunately I'm not able to turn off the 4 LED (now with 501 version and tried the "mic trick") :(

[Philips, Sony, TCL Android TV] ruknani2:
Hello stasiof,

Thanks to all your help

I have C728 v469. I really like it but disappointed in terms of playing 4K because of USB is only 2.0 and TV does not support anything but FAT32 (4GB limit) so no 4K also RJ45 is not gigabit and wifi is 802.11n only.

Dont you think there is a bottleneck in terms of connectivity ?

2nd thing is which TVoS do you like personally ATV or GTV ?

The only complain I have from GTV is when I go to change picture or audio setting while playing media, the setting menu covers the whole screen. unlike ATV's sliding side menu.

Please shade some light. Thanks again

[Philips, Sony, TCL Android TV] exantas:
I have a 50P815 that was running V191. I OTA upgraded to V256 and few minutes later I OTA upgraded to V325.

TV seams to my eyes functioning better compared to V191. BUT I have issues with eARC/ARC connectivity. I have a Sonos Arc soundbar in version 14.18 and I notice connectivity issues, low volume from the soundbar. If I disconnect soundbar - use TV's speaker - I haven't noticed any audio issues.

When I increase TV audio with TV remote, it doesn't increase the soundbar audio as it used to.

Soundbar doesn't always recognize that netflix is giving Dolby Atmos signal.

When I play stream from external device from HDMI I need to set audio level of TV to 50, while before it just needed to be 14-20.

Other streaming applications - other than Netflix - have very low audio also.

Disabling-enabling eARC setting on TV fixes this issue temporarily, only for the input that you are viewing at the moment.

I am guessing that for whatever reason TV doesn't communicate correctly with soundbar. My view is that you can use V325 on 50P815 IF you don't depend on external soundbars that work over ARC/eARC.

I am posting this info in case there are other ppl thinking to use this image on 50P815. Your experience might vary of course and you experiment with this image on your own risk.
[Philips, Sony, TCL Android TV] Runaque:
I have the very same model of TV and made the update to V325 and my soundbar has no issues with the ARC connectivity, but perhaps that's because I disconnect all external devices when I make the update and connect everything when it is done. My soundbar isn't as advanced as yours, It's just a 2.0 device we got for free and for what it is, it's pretty decent for what it is! (some research told me it's a GoSingGo)

I had in the beginning of having the soundbar CEC issues with the Apple TV app and managed a workaround by finding the very same issue on the Apple discussion boards (link below). At this moment it's not an issue anymore and it was probably something to do with the app itself.

Apple tv app has no sound when streaming … - Apple Community

Perhaps you could do a full reset and start from scratch? Maybe that solves your issues?
[Philips, Sony, TCL Android TV] stasiof:
He has P815 model....
[Philips, Sony, TCL Android TV] Runaque:
I know and I confirmed that by saying that I have the very same device. Not just a P815, but also the 50" panel and now on the same Firmware and I have no Issues. I did had an Issue in the past that is kinda the same as he mentioned and I had a workaround from someone that posted on the Apple boards with a TCL TV, what probably works in a very similar fashion since it's not a Roku! Eventually the issue with that app was resolved after a certain update of that app, so god knows this guy's issue could be gone after an update since he went to Android 11.
[Philips, Sony, TCL Android TV] exantas:
Does anybody have a link to download V8-R51MT02-LF1V191 img or something similar for android 9?
