Hi there,

I have a X2 Xess TCL TV (2017). This uses the MT5891 chipset.

It is currently stuck in the power loop (turn on and it gets stuck on android animation). When I try to boot to recovery it comes up with a cog and little cross through it, have tried another (wrong chassis - R851) firmware and got an error when I tried to install.

I am unsure what version of firmware I need to do reset via USB. Can someone please let me know - its our houses main TV and we are missing it LOL. Thanks :)

Hello.

My tcl TV suddenly stopped to pass through sound with arc or toslink. If I use the auto setting it passes sound but only DD+ stereo and it doesn't matter what is being played, it's always DD+ stereo.

So I updated the FW to V677, I was using V634( it was ATV 9)

Any one with some insight about this issue?

Hi guys, anyone know of a way to fully turn off audio on the tv but leave audio playing through optical out? For whatever reason when muting audio it leaves the mute icon on the screen, this is really annoying. . I use an AVR and only want audio there sometime so need to leave tv volume on 1, but sometimes this creates a little bit of an echo.
Ive checked Sound Settings and Developer Settings but dont see an option to disable onboard tv sound// Only to turn the screen off which is no good, just want zero tv sound and no mute icon on screen. Cheers!

Hi, I have TCL 55C815k and recently got the update

Software Version: V8-R851T02LF1V715

TV+ OS Version: V5.2.0V8-2205240-MD1V520

It has broken surround sound passthrough functionality for me with my Onkyo AV.

What would be the previous software version to download and downgrade to?

I had found a zip file and put on FAT32 USB stick but it doesn't recognise the file because it's not a new update.

So how can I downgrade to previous software and which version number is the previous to this one?


Many thanks

Ry
Hello.. You must imperatively unzip the file and start again

Bye.

We helped you. We're not going to do the job for you. You should have come here many years before. Our answer yet are a caress, compared with what you read then.
Und this way you learn but you don't become the job done for you.

    Also, once usb debugging is enabled ADB should connect to the IP directly (you need to specify the TV IP address, don’t use auto locate or anything like that).
    That's the point, thank you. After I specified the Tv-s IP address, ADB AppControl immediately connected to the Tv. Thx again.

    turn on "developer options" xD
    And then you connect via wifi 😉

    It's pretty easy once you have done it once.

    Another Argentinian here.
    As I got tired of waiting for the OTA to appear, with my adb logcat running, and it never did ...
    I thought: "why don't I edit the ota v213 url to see if it works?", and it did. :p

    I have a 75c815k (uk) and have just updated to V715 android 11 software, I was previously on V645 the current official TCL European software and had spent many many hours tweaking the settings to get what I consider the best picture quality to suit my taste and eye. My son has an LG 77" c1 oled which cost him roughly 4 times more than my TCL and whilst my picture is not quite up to his with my settings I think it comes very close and thought I would share them if anyone wants to try them. I like quite a vibrant picture so have used the standard mode with the following settings for SDR ( in movie mode the same settings give a slightly softer look)
    Brightness/backlight 45,
    Contrast 90,
    Black level 40,
    Dynamic contrast off, black stretch off, brightness+ on, local dimming low, gamma 0
    Colour 48, tint 50, dynamic colour on, colour temp -1
    Sharpness 50, digital noise and noise reduction off
    Gradation clear (not on V645) low
    Motion clarity on, led motion clear off, judder reduction off
    Expert calibration settings untouched apart from colour space set to auto.

    My Hdr settings are similar although brightness and contrast left at 100 and colour pulled back to around 46
    Dolby Vision left alone.

    These settings were originally set on V645 but seem ok with V715

    As with most things picture quality is subjective but these settings I believe would give a much better baseline to the out of box settings which are way overblown in my opinion.
