Firmware Installation Guide
How to Load Firmware. Firmware is a software/program or set of instructions written/designed in a machine language that can run or command hardware. Here in this post, we will discuss LCD/LED TV Software/Firmware. How to Load Firmware, how to install firmware, and why we need this. Following are some points when we need to install the software. After reading this post you will be able to flash the firmware easily. So, you must read the post to know How to Load Firmware.
- New board Installation as per your requirement
- When need to change the resolution/remote control
- If the program is malfunctioning
- Red light board when software corrupts or stops working. Non-Smart TVs only
- Logo Stuck in case of Android/Smart TV
What things are necessary to install the flash program or software:
- USB Disk or Pen drive Formatted to FAT32
- Required software/firmware/program/flash file/bin file etc
- Always save/keep a backup of old Flash before installing new program/software
Please keep in mind when loading/installing firmware:
- Check the size of the software whether it is a dump file or a USB boot program
- The dump file size is always the same as the size of a flash ic. For example, a 4MB flash has a dump file of 4MB (4096KB)
- And if the software is a USB upgrade then its size will be less than 4MB
- The dump file or backup file can be loaded by a programmer or USB upgrade method in the setting when the TV is working
- Always use a USB2 slot for firmware installation where available
- Always use branded and empty FAT32 Pen drive
- The firmware size of smart/android is more than 100 Mbs while non-smart software size will be 1Mb, 2Mb, 4Mb, 8Mb, 16Mb, etc
- Always transfer bin files with some text files to Pen drive without any Folder or ZIP file
- Always check the ROM/RAM capacity before loading firmware
- Always check the Remote Control and Logo information before loading the firmware
- Do Not Turn it Off during software installation.
Firmware/Bin Name:
- The board manufacturer develops the software with a specific name for each board. Some examples are given below
- Do not rename the original bin name for non-smart board firmware
- In the case of smart/android firmware, you can rename the Reference number like REF48 to SOS for universal boot
- The backup dump file name can be renamed or written as you wish but better to write it as board name or TV brand name/model
Firmware/Bin Extension:
The file extension is the file type name that is written at the end of the file. The following extensions you will find in firmware files:
.bin, .img, .pkg
The file extension name may be different. it depends on the developer and how it packs the firmware files.
Steps For Installation in Non-Smart Board:
- Transfer the required bin file to a formatted FAT32 USB disk
- Connect IR/Keypad with Board
- Connect the USB disk with the TV Board while the board is powered OFF
- Now Power on the switch. The LED light indicator starts flashing automatically (color does not matter)
- Wait to stop flashing the LED light. in some cases led flashing speed increased when completed
- Remove the USB disk and release the standby
- Done
- Note. No Screen display during the software installation process in non-smart or universal TV boards
Steps For Installation in Smart/Android Board:
- Transfer the required bin file to a formatted FAT32 USB disk
- Connect IR/Keypad with Board
- Connect the USB disk with the TV Board USB-2 Slot while the board is powered OFF
- Now go through the following:

- Some boards just need to standby release after completion of the software
- Some boards do not have any screen display installation progress bar. so, in this case, just follow the LED light flashing
