I flashed R006 from V272. Based on the same picture configuration setting of V272, the colour and sound of R006 is clearly not as good as V272. I reverted back to V272 after about 1 hour of trial.
But as far as i remember you hadn't issues with any other ATV11 firmwares, hadn't you?

I have no issues with firmware V272. The colour and sound is nice compared to the stock firmware (V084) which I had used only for a few hours. I installed R006 just to see if there is any major improvement or differences. V272 and R006 are Android 11 while V084 is Android 9. V272 is the best to me.

TCL probably forgot to include your panel (ST6451D02-H) in the firmware V272. Hope TCl will include this panel in the next firmware update.

Hi there. Could someone help me with my problem, please?
After updating my 55p815 with IMG v272, the ProjectName in Service Menu and in About now showing ``iniGetStr Failed``. How bad is that and is that fixible ?

Maybe any one found solution how change screen refresh frame rate (or maybe working AFR app). For me 60, 50, 30, 25 and 24 fps video looks good and smooth. But 23.976 fps, what is probably most US BluRays and WEB-DL, have judder.
Try kodi, nova and stock video player. All soap opera filters is turned on in settings, nothing helped.
Tested fw v84, v191, v263 (forgot correct number) and R006.
With tv box on 4k50p works allmost perfect.
But i want try to do iptv, series and movies work from tv.

TCL P815 with firmware V8-R51MT05-LF1V418 was installed successfully. I have used it for 1 day for watching TV, youtube and Netflix. Colour is as good as if not better than firmware V272. It is Google TV compared to Android TV (V272). Recommended to give it a try. Please note that my tv panel is ST6451D02-3 and not too sure if it works for panel ST6451D02_H.

Do you have 65p815 or another p815?

New stable version,
I'm wondering if we try to change project ID to 305, firmware will work or not.
JnGiag has this project ID, and he has no problem with his P815.
Should we change project ID before FW or after new FW

It works with the ST6451D02_H panel, but after restarting the Black Screen ..

    So.. I have been trying change Project ID several times both to 283 and 305, but after every attempt TV restarts to backlight and blinking front LED.

    When I type the key stroke 0 6 2 5 9 8 MENU 283 (or 305), when LED is blinking, nothing happens. So I press OFF on remote, LED stops blinking, backlight goes OFF and then steady ON. Then I do the key seq again and after ~2min I am back at restart, backlight and blinking LED.

    Can you please upload somewhere V083?

    EDIT: I have suspicion, that Project ID change does not work:
    Flashing LED, Backlight ON - put in code -> nothing
    so press OFF on remote -> 1/ LED stops flashing, backlight goes OFF and ON (and optical out goes ON)
    AND NOW I put code (0 6 2 5 9 8 MENU 283 (or 305)) and after ~2min TV restart to flashing LED and backlight ON (optical OFF).
    BUT if I do not do anything after pressing OFF on remote -> 1/ LED stops flashing, backlight goes OFF and ON (and optical out goes ON) the TV ALSO AFTER 2min restarts to flashing LED and backlight ON (optical OFF).

    Any suggestions, guys?
    After whole day trying i have succeeded. V277 was the one.
    Have to flash from IMG and then change Project ID (it worked at last!) to 305. (At the end we found out I have ST6451D02-3 panel => PID 305)

    VERY BIG THANK YOU to @stasiof , who had patience and will to help.
    Thank you again, man!


    PS: Even though I have been in IT (consumer mostly) for more than 20 years, the Android environment is new to me and I really did not expect that different panels need different PIDs. Thanks to everyone who asked here and even more to those who answered factually. Thank you, guys!

    what was your native FW ?
    I tried to update to V191 which is on android 9, and update was failure. There is something wrong with the FW
    here you can find v0.83

    Android 11 is in beta now, we have to wait for official final update

    jngiag, can you, please share screen with your panel type on your 272 with us?

    Press Settings button -> Picture -> Advanced -> Brightness -> Contrast.
    In this sub-menu just press on remote numbers in order: 1950
    There you'll see blue menu in left side of TV.

    P.S. I have different than english language, correct me if i was wrong.
    Seem like my panel is different from yours - ST6451D02-3. That may be the reason why your tv have a black screen while my tv is okay. Hope those who have ST6451D02-H could find a solution to it.

    Hmm.. that sounds better... maybe then it's worth. Anyway if no success i guess i can always switch back to v083and that will restores it, right?
    yes
