Safety Warnings

• Do not interrupt power: Ensure your TV is plugged into a stable power source. A power cut during a firmware flash will corrupt the TV's BIOS, requiring advanced hardware tools (like a flash programmer) to fix.
• Check the file integrity: If the download is corrupted, the TV will reject the update.
• Warranty: If your TV is still under warranty, contact TCL support before attempting a manual flash. Opening the back cover to check the motherboard ID usually voids the warranty.

• Always check your current build before updating.
• Only download firmware from TCL official or trusted communities (XDA).
• Use a FAT32 USB stick and follow the USB update steps carefully.
• If the TV is bricked, use the pinhole/recovery force flash method.
• After updating, perform a factory reset for a clean slate.
