Prerequisites & Preparation

  • USB Flash Drive: Minimum 8GB capacity, Maximum 32GB. It must be formatted strictly to FAT32. High-capacity drives formatted as exFAT or NTFS will fail to trigger the bootloader during force-update mode.


  • Stable Power Source: Do not run this process during unstable power conditions. A loss of power mid-write will corrupt the primary boot block beyond basic USB recovery.

  • Archive Utility: Zip extraction utility to unpack the archive file MTK9602_GoogleTV_R_2026.zip.

  • Required Packages:

    • upgrade_image_no_tvcertificatecusdatatvconfig_user_sa_20260720.pkg


Step-by-Step Firmware Recovery Procedure

🚨 WARNING: Perform every step in order. Removing the drive or cutting power during the write sequence will permanently brick the TV's mainboard.

Step 1: Format the USB Drive

Insert your flash drive into a PC. Right-click the volume, select Format, set the File System to FAT32, and complete a quick format.

Step 2: Prepare the Package Files

Extract file if needed

  • upgrade_image_no_tvcertificatecusdatatvconfig_user.pkg

Copy file directly to the root directory of your USB drive (e.g., E:\). Do not put them inside any subfolders, and do not alter their filenames.




Step 3: Trigger the Force Update

Because the TV is stuck on the boot screen and inaccessible via Google TV menus, you must trigger the low-level recovery manually:

  1. Unplug the TV's main power cable from the wall outlet Wait 5 minutes.

  2. Plug the USB flash drive directly into the TV's USB 2.0 port (usually color-coded black or white, avoid the blue USB 3.0 port).

  3. Reconnect the TV power cord to the wall outlet.

  4. Press and hold the power button on the chassis. Keep pressing and wait for a few seconds while the mainboard reads the drive headers.

  5. Watch the front standby LED. Once the red indicator starts blinking rapidly or the on-screen status reads LOADING DATA... 1%, the bootloader has successfully hooked the payload.




Step 4: Installation & Mandatory Factory Reset

  1. Allow the process to run uninterrupted. The installation takes roughly 10 to 15 minutes.

  2. Once partition flashing reaches 100%, the TV will cycle power and automatically boot into the initial Google TV setup screen.

  3. Complete the basic initial setup, then perform a clean factory wipe to clear old residual cached data:

    • Navigate to Home > Settings > System > About > Reset.

  4. Confirm the system reset and allow the television to finalize its initial starting.
