Updating firmware via USB on AF8

TremoloArm — Tue, 07 May 2019 08:55:35 GMT

So I tried to update to Oreo via USB, but I can't seem to progress past the initial step.

After downloading the file to the USB stick, I insert the USB in the TV and get several options:

- Open Photo folder

- Open Music

- Register as storage

None of these seem to initiate an upload the file to the TV....

What am I doing wrong?

Hi @TremoloArm

As long as you have followed the instructions to the letter and you have extracted the download file and placed the .pkg file into the root of the USB then you could try a soft reset with the USB still connected.

Hold down the remote Power button until you see Power off appear on the screen.

You could also try a different USB slot if that doesn't work.
