    That was the problem: I copied only the file not the folder. And also a good news that, I reformatted my 4GB chinese led stick with RUFUS to MBR partition and USB update went down easily immediately, so doesn't need special low capacity stick for it.

    PS: So far I have done many USB update, but almost all need to copy the (bin, pkg, etc.) file to root, not the folder. This is exception.
    After a long time with no luck for me, from your success a started digging about that problem again. I tried what you suggested but for me still nothing. Can you please give us the exact procedure how do to the update? Thank you in advance!

      As you can read above I made the update a chinese 4GB MBR FAT32 stick. Copied the above folder into its root, and attached it to the TV in power off. Pushed the connector to the mains, the TV was in out of order state. Then I pushed power+source together on TV tast, and then started to blinking Y-G led and the stick too, it started update immediately. If stick blinking continously Wait for long time. I think it restarted 2 times and finally started with baclight and normal working.
      (I think the most important that the TV let in Y-G blinking state, the update will start if usb attached before or later.)

            Sony KDL-46HX850 Can't upgrade/update firmware
            by dkneyle
            Diagnosed this TV as having a failed main board which I've replaced with one from a KDL 55HX850. They are (supposedly) the same board.

            Being 'Smart TV' it requires a firmware reboot when you swap out boards such as T-Con or main board. It starts with a black screen and flashing yellow and green LEDS, indicating it needs that firmware boot. The procedure described all over the web is to put the software into the root directory of a FAT32 formatted USB drive and it should load that up once plugged into USB1 port. But not for me. I can see the LED on the USB chip flash for about...

            Sony KDL60w685a need firmware update
            by madyoyo
            Hello everyone.

            I replaced the mainboard on a KDL60w685a, and now it blinks green and yellow. I think i need to update the firmware. But it's not available from Sony website.

            Does anyone have the firmware for this TV?

            Sony experts? 2nd bricked BAT Board after firmware update KDL-55EX720
            by thesteve
            So I bought another main board from eBay and the same thing happened.

            I got the firmware file from the Sony website. My model was listed and everything matched.

            sony_tvupdate_2011_4027_aaa_auth.zip was the file.

            Extracted to a folder: "sony_dtv0FA10A01A0A1_00000301"
            with file: 00000301_07e8046a.bin inside.

            Loaded it into the root of an otherwise empty USB thumbnail bought from around the same time as the TV. Not too old, not too new.. under 2Gig.

            The file reads perfectly. Lots of "disk activity"...

            ThinkPad X12 Detachable Gen 1: keyboard after firmware update without function
            by rumpumpel1
            Lenovo System Update offered me an update for the firmware of the Folio keyboard for my X12 Detachable Gen 1. The update got stuck and after 20 minutes I switched off the laptop. Since then, the keyboard and touchpad have been without function. Does anyone know how I can revive it?
