What firmware version do you have in TV? Did you try different versions? Some have CEC a bit broken...
[Philips, Sony, TCL Android TV] spl_decibel:
Ciao a tutti, ho il modello P635 50" (TCL G03_4K_GB_NF)

E' questa sotto l'ultima versione firmware?

V8-R51MT05-LF1V573

Grazie mille

Hello, i have P635 50" (TCL G03_4K_GB_NF)

is this last firmware version?

V8-R51MT05-LF1V573

Many Thanks
[Philips, Sony, TCL Android TV] lapist:
@Sagi.f So you can try upgrading firmware to a different version. I have TCL soundbar connected via HDMI eARC and I also sometimes have issues with it. Recently I was using V523 which was quite OK, after that some later version broke it so I returned to V523 and currently I am testing the latest V573 - it seems it sometimes disconnects+reconnects the soundbar sometimes when nothing was playing, but it was OK when I was watching a movie.

Sometimes it also helps when you power off the TV and the soundbar (or receiver), unplug the cables, and then connect it again.

Try also powering off and on your receiver when TV is on.

Post your current firmware version
[Philips, Sony, TCL Android TV] Sagi.f:
Thanks for replying,I did upgrade today to the new version v573 and it seems more stable , however the remote control is not working on reciver like before and when I’m turning off the tv and than on ,the reciver is not recognize the tv .however unlike before update if I turn off the reciver than on while tv is on it works ,instead plug off-in the power cord .
[Philips, Sony, TCL Android TV] lapist:
Yes, it is a bit messed up.

For me, I turn on the soundbar only for movies and use internal speakers otherwise, but in that way it is also complicated. When I want to stop using the soundbar, I need to switch soundbar's input to Optical, so that it won't be automatically turned on by TV using CEC, then I can turn it off. When I want to use the soundbar, I need to turn it on, switch it's input to HDMI ARC, but then TV doesn't recognize it properly and volume control thru TV doesn't work - I need to turn off the soundbar and turn it on again (when TV is on), then it usually works correctly, including volume control.

Also in different firmware versions it behaves a bit differently..
[Philips, Sony, TCL Android TV] lapist:
@spl_decibel ok, you have R51MT05, so the latest version is v573. It is probably not officially made for P635 as it is primarily intended for 2023 models, but it should work fine (at least it works fine on C635).
[Philips, Sony, TCL Android TV] spl_decibel:
Thanks for your advice
[Philips, Sony, TCL Android TV] Under666:
Hi,

I have updated my 65C835 EU several times with FW in the last year, however every time my display expert calibration settings gets deleted and needs to be manually retyped as again- this is even with the OTA updates via USB. Anyway it is suggested to restore the factory settings after an update.

My question is, if I can download these settings on USB and upload them after a FW update?

And my second question ( probably k7nd of related to the first) - under system-about-status I get Mac address- unknown. It may be because I didn't do factory reset after the last update ( hoping expert callibration settings not to be wiped off), but it may be not:) Hence asking the question how to fix it or it is normal? Current FW LF1V503.

Thanks

Regards

K.
[Philips, Sony, TCL Android TV] pittrich:
I have a serious problem. The USB port on my TV seems to be defective. None of my USB sticks are recognized. Is there a way to flash the update.zip from local storage? In theory, that should work. Finally, with OTA via the Internet, the update.zip is also stored in the local storage.

Edit: the problem was developer mode. I turned it off and the USB stick was recognized and the update was successfully installed.
[Philips, Sony, TCL Android TV] lapist:
So from my experience with v573, cooperation with the soundbar doesn't work that well, it worked fine in v523 so you may try also that one (it is possible do downgrade even using OTA without factory reset using IMG method = power off the TV, insert USB stick and hold hidden power button until flashing mode starts, but some things may get a bit broken without factory reset).
[Philips, Sony, TCL Android TV] spl_decibel:
I confirm that the firmware update works correctly on the P635 TV; the graphics of some settings and TV channels have changed (when i change channels)

however it makes an annoying bug: when switching from channel 1 to channel 999 (then pressing the back button) automatically switch to HDMI1 input
[Philips, Sony, TCL Android TV] 001248/776:
This bug is there from the very beginning and it's annoying as hell, especially when it turns on your console or bd player. But then again - software on TCL tvs is absolutely horrible so it's not a big surprise.

Another annoying bug is that when you want to check the EPG on other channels than the one you're currently watching - the tv will follow you and switch the channel...

Here's another one: when you switch on the Game Mode (either manually or automatically) the tv changes sound mode to Game, but doesn't change it back to whatever it was on when the game mode is off...

(all those bugs are still present on the newest v587 firmware)
[Philips, Sony, TCL Android TV] stasiof:
Issue after any OTA update...

ResetAll and Reset shop or Factory reset.
[Philips, Sony, TCL Android TV] 001248/776:
What issue are you referring to? Anyway - setting everything up from the beginning every time there's an update is crazy :/
[Philips, Sony, TCL Android TV] PHDY:
Hello everyone.

On 10-4-2022 I purchased a 55C635 TV with firmware version V477.

From the first moment the TV has firmware/software errors. Among other errors, several of the image settings were erased when the TV was turned off each time.

I have been trying different versions since then trying to solve the problems but with each new version some errors appear and others are corrected. (hangs, deletion of settings,

black screen, no control of CEC devices with the remote control, Dolby vision flashing, colored lower bands...).

My setup is a TCL 55C635 TV, an ARC-connected ONKYO TX-NR635 AV, an Apple TV 4K (A1842), and a Sony BDPS6700 Bluray.

With versions V516, V523, V559 and V573 a new problem appears that makes them unusable for me. When playing Dolby Vision content from the Apple TV 4K (for example from Apple TV+ or HBO) and stopping playback the TV does not return to the previous image mode. The image on the screen appears black and with the Dolby Vision logo when the source clearly is not. This happens even in the AV menu.

It forces me to have to reset all the devices every time this happens.

I have reverted to the factory version V477 and this does not happen.

I have never had so many firmware problems with any brand of TV until now.

From the beginning this TV has been a headache and has caused me a great loss of time and patience.

**The TV is never updated via OTA from the factory version V477. I do not know the origin of all the firmware versions advertised here. I don't know if they are official.

Sorry if the English is not good. It has been Google translator.

All the best.
[Philips, Sony, TCL Android TV] lapist:
Strange issue - it never happened to me with Fire TV Stick 4k Max and I have the same TV. You can try using different HDMI port, cable or change some settings in Apple TV...

But yes, this TV has a lot of bugs in the firmware - I got used to most of them, but some are annoying. It doesn't seem that developers care much about bugfixes...
[Philips, Sony, TCL Android TV] cesedy:
Not exaclty Developer mode, but USB Debugging. Of course, by disabling Developer mode, you disable USB Debugging as well.

Have you tried to updat eit via IMG file or OTA file? It will only work with IMG. Put USB with IMG into USB socket, power down TV completly (you can remove plug)., Plug in, and hold power button, installation should start.

Another update is out! Now we are at V587. With V582 they change the favorite settings (is more easy to use them now) and the "info" about the channel. On V582 you can't view the "technical data" of the channel (the resolution) anymore.. In a couple of days I will try V587 and report if I notice some differences. It's a pity they don't write a good log (what they change) and you have to discover it yourself...

Hello!

In February this year I bought a TCL C835 with system version: V8-T615T03-LF1V474

The "problem" is that I, to this day, still have that version. I have automatic update activated and when I click on system update the promt says that I have the most recent version. Does someone here have an idea to why the tv does not update to a more recent version? From what I can see in this thread there has been a lot of updates (OTA) since "my" version was released.

I'm now considering to do a manual update. Which version should I use?

Best Regards,

Victor

[Philips, Sony, TCL Android TV] Krikke80:
Thanks for your reply, believe me I'm feeling very stupid now because I think I'm missing something.

My previous version was V8-T615T03-LF1V999_Test_Version_9 installed it in may 23 and everything worked smooth, My Disney app was working and I finally could use voice commands to turn on / off TV ... untill yesterday: My Disney App was giving issues "version needs to be upgraded before use" and I tried to install an update V8-T615T03-LF1V999_Test_Version_23 .. 24 ... Disney app was not comming back but now my TV also doesn'tm accept voice commands from Google Nest anymore. When I give the command "Turn off TV (in flemish)" I get the message "Sorry it looks like TV is not available"

I tried to reset to factory settings but Disney and voice commands are not comming back.

Then I tried to restore from an IMG but i think i have it wrong there: I unzipped the LF1V999_Test_Version_23 version and boot TV with power like explained in https://xdaforums.com/t/tcl-2021-an...ndtv6-beyondtv4.4255729/page-25#post-86117509 it goes trough the update proces but does no reboot, when i turn it on the version is the same as before. I probablymake the mistake that i unzip a test-firmware? Is there a place whereI can find IMG files for a complete restore?

I'm now goin to try with: V8-T615T03-LF1V590 and hope my TV will respond again to voicecommands.

Any help is much appreciated because I don't seem to get it right - even after hours of search.

UPDATE: looks like I'm getting there again ... found IMG file, restored from scratch. Many thankgs for yor patience and help here and at Telegram @stasiof . Hopefully next time we talk I'm not that stupid anymore ;)

So I'm sending my tv in to a service center due to a defect on the display. I'm currently on fw 590, and from what I just read that fw is not intended for C735.

Do I need to flash it to a lower version before I send it in or should it be ok?
[Philips, Sony, TCL Android TV] romansavov:
No, it is not necessary, good luck with the repair ! Please share what is the defect on the display you have.
[Philips, Sony, TCL Android TV] sythora:
Thank you!

There is a small circular area where it's darker than the rest of the screen, causing a pretty noticable dot. I'll attach a picture, it was rather hard to get a good photo of it. Might not be much, but enough for TCL to approve it under warranty.
[Philips, Sony, TCL Android TV] stasiof:
I suggest you to downgrade to v503 , before send to service.

Btw,

what is your TV region ?
[Philips, Sony, TCL Android TV] sythora:

[Philips, Sony, TCL Android TV] stasiof:
TCL EU region official version for 2022 year models is V503.

Other that this they can scrap your warranty.
[Philips, Sony, TCL Android TV] issam@isl:
Sorry, didn't know that same platform has different firmware according to year of release. That way 2022 T615T03 platform will never have firmware past 511 which will be the last :unsure:

Thank you, will make sure to flash it to 503. Much appreciated.

You can see in V590 post....2022 year TV models is no more in brackets.....

1) They can't refuse to repair your TV if it's a panel issue (interestingly I had the same thing happened to my old Samsung TV and a guy with a new panel just came to my house and replaced it on site!) because of the version of the firmware unless they could prove it was the cause of the failure, which we know they can't because it wasn't

Hi, I have a 43" p635 EU with V8-R51MT05-LF1V483, it reboot itself sometime after 1 hour or so of tv watching, then reboot again for 2-3 times and the last time it freeze and I have to unplug it to power it down.

It already has been to the service guy in warranty and he insist he has updated the firmware and the tv work well... But it's really like before.

I wanted to try the newest 2023 firmware, 573, but I wanted a solution to restore the 483 in case I wanted to bring it back into service.

Does someone have the IMG of V8-R51MT05-LF1V483? I can only found 482 and I don't know if 483 can be found, maybe is only a firmware for service shops.
[Philips, Sony, TCL Android TV] issam@isl:
I'm using firmware V573 with my 65C635 (same platform) without any problems. Everything is working great. You wouldn't need to go back to V483.
[Philips, Sony, TCL Android TV] bonzo100:
I only need 483 in case I had to bring it back into service if the problem is hardware related and not solvable with a new firmware, the tecnician will know that 573 isn't the firmware he installed.
[Philips, Sony, TCL Android TV] issam@isl:
Try doing a factory reset of the firmware; may be the problem will disappear. Most rebooting problems are software related.
