TCL 2021 Android/Google TVs (P725/C725/C728/C825/X925)

[stasiof]

V309 is the first full .img for R51MT02 (Android 11) available in a long time, right?
all previous releases (272, 277, ...) were ota only

it's nice to finally have a new baseline to go back to, when rolling back from Google TV

V272 is IMG file, not OTA

 

[Rajsko]

I was thinking the same.. maybe the 43" panel has different physical properties which triggers something in the latest firmwares

Maybe you are right, or they are not interested in this model, you will not find it on their website, others C725 yes / 50,55,65,75 '' /

That makes me think of another faulty TV.
What happens when quick boot is enabled and you switch off and then switch on the tv?

take a look at this video. That happened with ATV V277

You must update IPTV Extreme V116, good

You must update IPTV Extreme V116, good

This video is 2/3 months old now. I updated everything, I installed GTV and quick boot on tv is not working.

As per your firmware installed, you can update (or flash) any firmware with R51MT02 (Android TV) or
with R51MT05 (Google TV).
Is more as in Europe P/C725.
V046.014928...released date ?

OTA firmware which you can update....(by local update in setting)

Android 9......V8-R51MT02-LF1V191.019582
Android 11....V8-R51MT02-LF1V277.020239

For Google TV (R51MT05] you need to flash IMG file first.

Thank you @stasiof!!

So, If I understand correctly, the next step will be to flash to LF1V191.019582 (Android 9), then Android 11 (LF1V277.020239)... and then update to Google TV?

Thank you again for all your help

Hello.
I have a major visual problem with outlines on characters, objects and scenery in most games (elden ring, yakuza and the witcher 2 in particular).
A kind of phantom shadow or unpleasant aura sometimes even sets and characters split.

This problem is not always present on these games and on Forza 5 I have never spotted a problem of this kind.
I have already made many settings on my TV and the xbox series X but nothing works.

My TV:
QLED TV TCL 55C727 ANDROID
My software version is: V8-T615T01-LF1V083.000005
TV+OS version: V.5.2.0(V8-2110070-MF1V520)
Android11

I no longer take pleasure in playing, I plan to sell my TV.
Sorry for my English and thank you.

Thank you very much for your answer !

I have the latest version, I don't understand "Update firmware to V091 (Android 11). "

I can only find this on google: https://apkpure.com/fr/voicella-video-auto-subtitles/org.antipu.autocaptions/variant/0.91-XAPK

About google tv I think I found a tutorial.

Seemse, you have not much clue about your TV.
Forget about Google search,as your link is totally useless.
Everything is in this thread, just need to read (at least 10 last pages).

Firmware V091 is posted a few pages back here:

https://xdaforums.com/t/tcl-2021-android-tvs-c05-g05-beyondtv6-beyondtv4.4255729/post-87008545

Need to download, copy and manually update your TV with latest available firmware.
Your TV will always display...>> you have latest firmware, but this depend on region and model.

First,
try new ATV 11 version.....V8-R51MT02-LF1V309 OTA.
About GTV,
have many versions ,you should check which suit you...
Yes, you can flash directly with R51MT05 IMG file.

Anyway, you can go back to ATV 11 with R51MT02 IMG.

Do you now how can I enter into recovery mode?
No matter how much time (more than 1 minute) I hold the power button, the TV dosn't enter in Recovery mode, just black screen and led flashing.
Is there any app to reboot into recovery?

Try to remove finger from power button, once front LED blinking.
Nothing in TV USB ports ?
Btw, why you need to enter ?

 

[stasiof]

I tried removing the finger but still black screen and blinking.
I would like to flash a new fw, I tried with and without USB drive connected

Just use USB drive and update/flash firmware.
