Hi guys,

I use a 55c715, it had not been updated in a long time (rom version was early 2020). Ever since I got the TV, YouTube would occassionally get stuck - the picture would freeze, while the audio would continue for a couple of minutes and then it would stop too, with the only way of rebooting being to unplug the tv from power. I updated to v727 with the hopes of 3 years of updates skipped resolving the issue and reinstalled the YouTube app, however the issue persists. Every couple of months the exact same behavior would pop with Netflix as well.

Has anyone faced similar behavior?

I haven't seen it on Netflix, but it has happened on YouTube a bit.

Has been better since I moved to 727, but that may be just luck.

Hey all,
I have a TCL 65P718 can I upgrade to the 727 firmware? I tried with one usb key and it said it could not verify the file. Current firmware is V8-R851T02-LF1V606
Thanks in advance.

Hello all, new here. I have a 2019 43" P8M connected to a Samsung Q600A soundbar(new). Firmware version was V634 if I remember correctly (much has passed in the last 2-3 days).

Digital audio out was set on Auto but had bad lip synch issues. Could not hear anything when setting to Passthrough or PCM. So I decided to take the plunge and update and, of course, messed that up.

Tried to do the OTA update to V727 at first but install got hung at about 30% so pulled the plug on the tv, removed the USB and deleted contents. Then downloaded the IMG file of V713(?) And successfully installed that. THEN installed the V727 OTA, successfully this time! YAY!

I then tested the set. App audio was good! I was also now finding and seeing/hearing Dolby Atmos on Netflix which I wasn't finding before. BUT, all channel audio was very, very, very quiet no matter what I set Digital Audio on, even the Auto option which worked before.

I then re-read this thread and noticed I hadn't done either of the recommended resets. I then found and performed a Reset Store (didn't find the Reset All at first), then a Reset All and then another Reset Store. Restarted the TV and voila, I had my audio back! And better yet, my lip synch issues are now minimized!

Everything is working and I have found a couple of settings I didn't have before. Even saw a 'Works with Alexa' setting for a while but said not installed when I tried to enable it. It is gone now.

Applied the picture settings posted a while back with some tweaking on my part and am enjoying the set much more now with fewer frustrations.

I have updated the firmware to version 727. How can I lock the source to HDMI1? Every time I turn it on, it starts from the home page. Thanks

Hello all. Turned on my TCL this am and had this blinking in the lower left corner. TV appeared to be working ok but would not turn off even with button on the bottom. Pulled the plug, restarted and then did a Reset Store. Seems to be back to where it was yesterday.

I posted earlier about my CoreElec Box with Kodi having problems with HDR10 movies and Dolby sound (the audio would continue while the screen went black). I'm happy to say that 727 appears to have totally solved it... I can once again watch movies with full HD. Happy, happy.

Hello all, i've updated to 727 sucessfully but cannot acces to service menu anymore (9735 on contrast) it tells when that the function is not installed.

So where i can find a full image that also erase settings apps and so on so i can upgrade afterward to V727 ?

    No, it not remove, as is OTA file.
    Only IMG file remove.
    I think you don't understand what I posting....:rolleyes:

    TV's with Realtek chip can downgrade also with OTA file, but must do with TV Off and TV power button (not from setting).
    Of course in same operating system.
    Downgrade from Android 11 to Android 9, must do with IMG file.

    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.
