[Master Thread] - Marshmallow Update - Amber/Green Blinking LEDs

[HUSH2H]

I believe this issue deserves a separate thread since it is affecting so many people around Europe. After Sony released the update i put it on a SONY stick and proceed to upgrade, the tv was reporting: 'updating' then it restarted but it did not come back - black screen and led flashing green-orange! Tried all the tricks to get it to work but no luck so far

Lots of people complain abotu this issue on a russian forum: 'Killed sony kdl43w808c, Slovakia, 11/2016. I called Sony support. Told not to turn off the TV set or disconnect it from the Internet, as update should come, correcting this problem'

I suppose we have android 6 after update and crash.
We don't need a reinstallation, we need a good actualization package and a way to apply this.
Perhaps this way not exist, and we need to change matherboard.
My opinion.

@razvpop,

You refer to this procedure? It is for ANDROID 5! Maybe is not OK to do this.

• Put two copies of the firmware file on the same USB stick

• One of them with the original name

• And the other one renamed as 'upgrade_uploader.pkg'.

• Then  connect the USB stick to USB port 2.

• And then see if the update process will start as intended.

@gabize  you tried this?

[gabize]

NO!

After crash, I packed and sent the TV to service.

Hello everybody,

From yesterday, I'm in the same boat :-)).

I started the firmware update from USB stick, the TV restarted, then no image but the led blinking orange/green.

Strange enough, my TV is playing a nice sound (a chill one, I can really meditate on it if I want :-)) ) so I conclude that the firmware update succeded but don't recognize the pannel or the resolution. If I play with the remote it sound's like it's cycling through the available option there. I bet the state of TV is now some kind of ,,presentation mode,, waiting for me to complete an Out Of The Box first time starting.

Have anyone a link or something that presents what option are present on-screen at first time starting a Sony TV with Android 6 ? I like to try to blindly use the remote to complete this procedure (a YouTube video might help I think).

Sorry for my English, working to improve it every day.

Greetings from Romania.

I'm afraid besides you can hear audio, you are unable to navigate that menu.

i already tried to follow some steps (with black screen) and nothing happens. no matter how, it wont make a difference even if you might configure something out, you will still be stuck
