TCL 2021 Android TVs (C05/G05/BeyondTV6/BeyondTV4)

I own a 43P725 still android tv. I'm trying to install the new FW V575 Google TV but my device can't find the zip file , OTA version, on the USB key. It is a 32GB key formatted in FAT 32 but when I insert it the TV creates various directories. I run local update but it doesn't find anything. I also tried an 8 gb Key with zip files but also with the directory for both keys and the file doesn't appare on upgrade. What do you recommend for me?

Possiedo un 43P725 ancora Android TV. Sto cercando di installare la nuova Google TV FW V575 ma il mio dispositivo non riesce a trovare il file zip, versione OTA, sulla chiavetta USB. E' una chiavetta da 32GB formattata in FAT 32 ma quando la inserisco la TV crea varie directory. Eseguo l'aggiornamento locale ma non trova nulla. Ho anche provato una chiave da 8 gb con file zip ma anche con la directory per entrambe le chiavi e il file non appare all'aggiornamento. Cosa mi consigliate?

Firmware actually onboard is V315

I have a question. How did you manage to get V575? According to the TCL Android updates the latest update is V508 OTA. The one after that is 067 OTA and that's not for our platform. Mine is R51MT05
Thanks for your time

Just got this TV a week ago. I got on sale for about half it's original price. It's a TCL 55C825. Been trying to update to google tv using its update function but have no luck. and then i stumbled upon this thread. Can anyone point me to a right firmware to update my unit to a google tv?

For GTV, you need to flash with V440 (or 470) IMG file and update with V474 OTA file.

Hi,

My TV is connected to the WiFi network.
I use the static IP parameter
I change the DNS Google by those of Quad9 (9.9.9.11 and 149.112.112.11)
It seems that there is a problem with the safeguarding of new DNS.
I do not have the impression that the DNS values are saved.
I open a shell console to search for the resolv.conf file and make a log in the direction of a USB stick to analyze it on my PC.
I find six files in the log

/data/vendor/etc/resolv.conf
 /system/etc/resolv.conf
 /mnt/vendor/tmp/resolv.conf
 /mnt/vendor/linux_rootfs/etc/ppp/resolv.conf
 /mnt/vendor/linux_rootfs/etc/resolv.conf
 /vendor/tvconfig/config/resolv.conf

I look at the contents of the files

C05:/ # more /data/vendor/etc/resolv.conf; echo
nameserver 8.8.8.8
C05:/ # more /system/etc/resolv.conf; echo
nameserver 8.8.8.8
C05:/ # more /mnt/vendor/tmp/resolv.conf; echo

C05:/ # more /mnt/vendor/linux_rootfs/etc/ppp/resolv.conf; echo

C05:/ # more /mnt/vendor/linux_rootfs/etc/resolv.conf; echo

C05:/ # more /vendor/tvconfig/config/resolv.conf; echo
# Generated by NetworkManager
domain mstarsemi.com.tw
search mstarsemi.com.tw
nameserver 172.16.64.81
nameserver 172.16.64.58

But where are DNS registered?
I do not find the two DNS of Googles 8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4 nor those of Quad9.

Can we tell me the file to check please or is it an anomaly?

Could you try and use a dhcp reservation on your router for the TV with defined DNS servers instead?

Hi,
Never possibility on modem/routeur, so i'snt the problem.

The problem is on device android tv TCL.
I have different device under Linux and it is very easy to find the configuration file containing the DNS settings.
I cannot understand that it is not possible to check it.
The graphical interface always returns the Google DNS.
There is clearly an anomaly

you misunderstood, i was suggesting use your router to push the config rather than configuring the TV. If the TV has an anomaly you might be able to get around it by using your router to push the DNS settings instead.

I understood your sugestion very well.
But as I said, it is not possible.
The router of my Internet supplier does not allow the modification of DNS parameters.

ahh strange that is pretty limiting... you can't change it under Advanced? Or specify it under DHCP Reservations?

I can change any time.

Hi,
You do not understand that the modem/router provided by the supplier of my Internet line (Red by SFR)
Is under private firmware and therefore its graphical interface does not allow the change of DNS parameters.

Also, I cannot understand that I am showing you a problem on TCL firmware and that you are not looking to bring the info back or look by yourself with a shell console.

It is not to do sarcasm, but I hoped to be with people with a little knowledge in Linux/Android development.

I do not ask you how to find another way to change the DNS via another device.

Hi,

Has anyone found a way to enable PVR or Timeshift on this TV if it is not immediately available?
Is there a FW that has it, or a Project ID that allows it in all regions?

Thanks
