Hi Paul, its Wayne from Affordable Mobile TV Repair in Va Beach. Thanks for your continuing service to the UA-cam community for the last 10 years. I would like to add a few tips that your readers may find helpful when dealing with Sony F/W updates. Only use 2-8gb memory sticks. Anything larger may cause the loading process to time out. Also the quality of the stick matters. Use only sticks like Samsung, Sandisk Verbatim, Kingston etc.. and we down lode at lease 2 different sticks (2, 4,8gb) per tv repair update. And be very patient. It can take up to 3-4 try's before Sony's finicky F/W loads and up to 8 hours to have a successful down load. We have repaired hundreds of Sony sets over the last several years and I'm not a big fan of Sony's overall S/W design they use in their XBR series of sets. Their non XBR series sets are usually plug and play when replacing the main board. I am in the process of updating my website to add a section of tech tips that we have experienced over the last several years for all manufactures that we have repaired. Keep up the good work, resp, Wayne
Hey Paul, or Wayne. Does this update method work if the TV is stuck in a boot loop? I have a KDL65W850C stuck in a boot loop and am trying to reinstall firmware with no luck.
@@ryanw9051 I'm in the same boat. Already tried the "pushing the power and volume down buttons til the led light at the bottom turns green, then letting go" reset. My light turns green, but then my TV goes back to the reboot loop. No reset screen comes on.
@@froggygurl8775 my TV ended up on the curb 😕
Hello Sir! Love your videos! Question: Sony XBR-65X850C - apparently Firmware Update failed before it was completed. Now the TV tries to boot up, displays the four Android icons, and in less than 15-20 seconds shuts down and reboots, REPEAT. We have tried the “Power Off > Hold Power Button for 15 - 20 seconds reset. Did not change behavior.
Btw, no status light blinking.
I haven’t been able to find a repair shop yet.
Should I replace the board with the USB and HDMI ports?
@@txjoey I have this exact problem, did you find a fix?
Thx a lot man. Just bought the 75 inch, and the Tv was not updating even though the wifi was functioning. This did the trick!
Just got a 65xbr900h on Wednesday and I couldn't get the whole updating with a usb flash drive bit. After watching your video I was able to update the firmware. Thank you!
Loved how you played super Mario land while you waited. That game was my jam back in the day!!! Have a good 2021, man!!
Thank you so much! I couldn’t do it without you
Thanks to you I was finally able to update XBR-55X900H
Nice info as always for the Sony TV users.👍
Thnx for this video ... I was to worried as it was hanged bt after u said it may take an hour or more than that.... Really thanks Mann..
Thanks for the clear instructions. I couldn't get my TV to install the firmware from USB. The instructions from Sony don't say that you need to place the file itself into the root folder and don't tell you to name the drive Sony Update. After I did both, the firmware finally updated. Thanks man!
What do you mean rename?
I put the whole folder in as well at first instead of just the .pkg file. Sony should have been more clear about that.
If I download the .bin file to USB only (without the Folder) nothing happens at all. If I download the Folder and insert USB TV says "Update cannot be done using this USB"
@Slas did u figure it out I have the same issue. I extracted the files and there is no single file like the video shows. TV won't recognize files.
Hey Paul.. thanks so much for your vids, i have found so much very useful information! i have been searching for weeks now for an answer to a Bravia problem.. maybe you or a viewer could help? my KLD48w700c bravia TV has one very bright LED strip, with a visible white band on that side of the screen. that side gets hot pretty quickly also. though i am not sure if that side is too bright or the other 3 sides are too dim.. i have changed the psu but the problem persists.. any help would be appreciated!
@Tampatec many thanks for providing such informational videos,
unfortunately my Sony Bravia 55” is stuck in a reboot loop in welcome screen. Reboot loop persists even after Factory data reset.
Do you have a video that helps to update firmware for tv stuck in reboot loop?
Reboot started suddenly when I tried to Chromecast a you tube video, though I never faced this problem while Chromecasting from you tube before
The tv doesn’t provide any red blinks, my daughter who is trying to figure this out says it isn’t a hardware issue but a software one.
Like somehow the tv still thinks it’s trying to connect to Chromecast even after factory reset
Any advice on this? Happy to provide a video link of the issue
Thanks for the video. I recently picked up a xbr-55x900c (no remote). I plugged it in and get the don't unplug logo and that is it. Do need to do a update? Thanks in advance for any information
Great Video - thanks ! Question: I am able to updates directly from my 75Z9D "Update Software" menu selection, but no matter what I do, they won't actually burn to firmware after powering off then back on as directed in the instructions. I've tried unplugging and holding the power button down for 30 sec and everything else I can think of. Do you know of a trick to force the firmware to update after it's been successfully downloaded ? I ended up resorting to this USB load procedure in the end. Thanks !
Question - if you swap new mainboard then do you get any image or black screen until firmware update ? Because i did swap on sony xbr-65a8f but is black screen now the TV start working but only amber lights is white. Thanks ! There is not any video to show if you swap the board will get immediately image on the screen and from where i got the board they told me i MUST upgrade the firmware.
Helpful video. I liked it
So when I replace any power boards or the main boards. I have to do this after I replace the parts into the Sony tv ?
Hey bro. Can you please help me with this ?
I have a sony kdl 48w650d, my tv turns on and everything for a bit then it turns off starts flashing red.
Ive gone out about a new power card however the first thing i noticed is the minor difference in pn.
My board number is a209500c however i was given a a209500E. I installed the card but i have no power, no green light no red light no lights at all.
Do you think the new board is faulty?
Thank you mate. Finally I was able to update my 4 year old firmware.
the problem must be on Sony
The “check update” function in Sony TV always tell me it's already the latest update, no need to update but actually firmware is expired
Would trying to install firmware from a usb help a TV stuck in a reboot loop? Because none of the resets I tried work. Or will the update screen not even come up (since the TV turns on and keeps shutting off in the middle of the android logo forming).
thanks for your vidio. i have a problem. i do all the things that you mention to update my bravia tv with usb drive but my tv did not go to update and i thing it cant recognize the files. because as i attach the usb the screen the chose mass storage comes up. the usb format is fat32 and it is 8gb. what's the problem u think?
Thank you so much, such a big help.
Glad it helped!
Very helpful thanks a lot
can you do a video on sony bravia KDL-46EX520 firmware update... I cannot figure out how to update even with instructions from the sony website
Hi Paul I've followed you for quite a few years now if possible could I just ask your opinion. I have a sony KDL-22BX20D sound & dvd player works but nothing on screen changed transformer still same any ideas.thank you.ken
I have just seen this TV that will not hold digital terrestrial channels after scanning in auto tune. It shows one channel but when you go to the TV Guide it says no channels are in memory and goes to the tuning menu. After tuning I go back and it returns to the No Channels in memory screen and offers to tune again.
Any Ideas? Dose it have a 3V cell inside like on a mother board for backup? It is setup for Netflix so it seems to operate that part.
Thanks 'Tampa Tec'🙏
Interesting. So I bought this Android TV with model no KD75X8500E from a friend who brought it from Singapore and this was working well for a month but stopped working when I connected it to the internet for Netflix and after it had an Android update (the UI changed and I used it for a day and then it stopped working). I now turns on for a bit and switches off after like a few seconds and blinks 7 times. I asked the guy at the showroom and he said it's a motherboard fault and I need to get the board replaced. But this seems absurd to me because the TV does switch on and works fine for a bit and if it were a hardware issue, I suspect it wouldn't even function so this looks like the new Android OS doesn't work on this model (the showroom dude said TVs that have been imported have these issues as the update maybe of a different country). Is there any way I can rollback the update by running a manual update this way during bootup (because I doubt it will stay on till I go into it and then initiate update)? Or is there any other thing I can do to fix it? (I already tried a firmware reset using the steps on the manual but no luck).
HI hello were can i find a software update for my sony KDL-70R550A .I have a version 5.31 and it says that it has to date up to version 5.414 info please.
Thanks I never woulda guessed it’s buried in help menu. Fr
I Found a Bravia 55ex710 and it looked to good to leave lol. i diagnosed it and changed the main board. and Now the optical light is on. no more red blinking lights, but now their green and orange. They said you have to do a software update but sony terminated theupdate. do you know another place i can get it from?
Hi two important points that I didn't catch onto at first.
1. Your download may not be a zip or compresses file. Mine was .p09
Not an archive so i just copied that.
2. VERY IMPORTANT.
My tv has 2 usb ports. Only one will work for update. I spend hours in reboot loop until I put in other usb port and it worked immediately.
Where can I find the firmware for the Xbr-55x805c model? on the sony page it is no longer available
Hi Paul, I have sony bravia model 55x9000e which is flashing colors on screen red, green, blue, white in cycle on startup. Don't know what to do?
hi paul i have a sony xbr-55x850B i need the firmware update file complete package file by any chance do you have it please reach out to me please appreantly sony took most of the file updates down from the website and they will not support it any longer thanks
Good info, I'm not sure if its necessary to name the USB drive "sony update" or not , also not all firmware updates are over 1GB, this TV I'm doing model KD-70X690E is way less than 1GB
It does not work on my Sony KDL55HX800.
.bin(not .pkg) . If I root the file only to USB (without the Folder) nothing happens at all. If I download the Folder with the .bin File and TV says "Update cannot be done using this USB"
Hi bro , I have many tv , and I want to now if there's site to now of the electronic carte of lg 32 can I put it in Samsung 32
Hey can you install firmware on Sony a90J just like this if the mainboard is purchased from China? Since my TV needs a main board replacement and I can get a board from China. So does this method work like that or no?
The goat🐐
HELP!! From the Netherlands. I have a KDL 60 NX720 I cant get an update for my tv. Where I can get it?

Hey Tampa Tec - I suspect you aren't in Tampa right now with the Hurricane and all... I have a Sony KDL-50 W800B and just replaced the main board, the LED is flashing green amber, but the screen doesn't light. Sony doesn't support that TV any longer with firmware. Where can I find a copy, please? And thank you very much for making these videos!!! Hope you and your property are ok!!!

hello, great video, where can we find this EMMC chip on the market?
My Sony KDL-40SL140 stopped responding to any remotes. I’ve unplugged it for hours to see if it would reset. It didn’t. When I plug it in the remote works for a few seconds but stops responding. I was going to update the firmware but Sony doesn’t have any updates. Is there someplace where I can get the last update they provided? It is an older unit but has been working until this happened. Thanks
Thank you big help to my tv that has no wifi and so

I'm searching for kdl 46nx710 last update, can anyone help me with that ? ( I've been to Sony website but I can't find the driver )
Hi, I watched your video for firmware update. Very easy to follow and thank you for that. I have an issue with my Bravia XBR-55X800E tv I hope you might have seen and have a fix for it.
The issue is the WiFi. It worked fine for the first year and a half then one day it wasn’t there. I went into settings and the WiFi was turned off. I turned it back on it searches for a couple seconds and then turns itself off ( only the wifi not the tv ) no matter how many times I try. I have tried soft reset, hard reset, updating firmware by Ethernet cable and by flash drive. Other than no WiFi the TV functions normally.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks

Hey man. Great videos. I have a question. I have a sony xbr 75x850f and had an issue where my tv wouldn't power on at all. After troubleshooting I realized I needed to replace the main board which I did. Now it powers on but blinks a green and amber light but screen doesn't come on at all. I tried to put a usb drive with the correct firmware update in the usb drives but it eventually just powers off. I let it sit for a while to see if that was part of the process but nothing. Any suggestions ?
You ever figure this out?

Did you figure this out? I have the same problem
@@jamesbutterworth8297 yeah I figure it out the problem was that it had a problem with one of the back lights. How I fixed it was by calceling the light that was damage by putting a small piece of clear tape on the flat wire the connets to the mother board. The problem got solved and it haa been working ever since.
