Hisense 50P6

[lotas]

Re: Hisense 50P6

When I right click the file,(my link) it will only allow these options
Preview
Download
Copy to
Details

If I select Copy to...I can't seem to save it

If I download it, it turns into this zip folder

If I extract then, it just comes back with all those folders again.

My apology for not understanding how to simply grab that one file

HELP....

Rename it (extension .rar to .pkg) to get the file : usb_AA6501U.pkg

Re: Hisense 50P6

How bout, left click hold, drag and drop, send to should also work.

No go either...can any of you access the file via the link I sent, or doesn't the link work for you guys?

Re: Hisense 50P6

It's just that your computer perceives files with the pkg extension as rar (you installed, checked the box so that these files can only be opened by the rar archiver).
If you need to quickly do this, then try on another computer.

Re: Hisense 50P6

Try Lotus solution, if still stuck maybe this, scroll down to manual update section: https://knowtechie.com/how-to-update...e-tv-software/

Re: Hisense 50P6

manual update.......cannot do that nomoresonys as the tv is stuck with the lines on it, and I cannot see the menus.

I have uninstalled all my rar, onezip, etc apps...still won't let me move the file anywhere

I think you are looking at the auto update part, the manual part is way down the list there but doesn't go into great detail.

Re: Hisense 50P6

I uninstalled all my apps that do zips, rars etc, and then downloaded it, and it saved as the file.

Hopefully this looks right?

Re: Hisense 50P6

Ok, so is that the first file after you extract? then you should be able to move that file to your usb drive, right?

Re: Hisense 50P6

It is the third file from the Hisense link.

Putting onto usb now

[lotas]

Re: Hisense 50P6

Yes, you need to transfer this file to a formatted usb stick.

Re: Hisense 50P6

Back to square one again.

The usb simply seems to be doing nothing.

I keep power unplugged, and drain the power by either holding down the tv or remote power button for 60 seconds.

I then keep holding the power button and plug in the power, holding, awaiting device notification or boot, but that never arrives.

I did also change the file name to upgrade_loader.pkg....no difference.

Tried either usb port...ditto

My luck with repairs is abysmal.

Are we at the end of any help now?

Thanks all.

Re: Hisense 50P6

my post#52 read it again.. your problem at PC
1- you need to active at Folder Option to show known extension file .. so you can see the last extension to avoid it written .pkg.pkg
2- rename the file to upgrade_loader.pkg

Re: Hisense 50P6

BTW: yours link of firmware in post#55 its belong only to yours e.mail to download... no other third party can download it.

Re: Hisense 50P6

1- usb formatted as FAT32 MBR mode
2- the first file with format .pkg dont extract it. just copy it on the stick
3- you may need to rename the file upgrade_loader.pkg in case didnt start
4- no need 60 second. as son you press power on RC and keep press plug the tv in wall
5-insert the USB at USB Ver2 ( black socket at the side of the TV

Thanks Diah,

I am certain that this is what I have done.

I did not realise that you could not see the file, but it is as before, posted here again, and is file number 3

I did it all again

No change

I d/l it and it shows as usb_AA6501U.pkg

I transfer the file onto formatted FAT 32 stick

I plugged it to tv and it would not boot.

I removed usb, changed file name to

upgrade_loader.pkg

Reinsert to tv

All no go still

I do not know what/how to format is as FAT32 MBR mode

I look in google via search, and it says ....

"The first is to simply format the drive using the MBR format. This can be done in Windows by right-clicking on the drive in My Computer and selecting Format. In the Format dialog box, select the option to format the drive for MBR."

When I do this I only have the options
NTFS
FAT32 (default)
exFAT

In disk management it shows my usb as D 14.32GB FAT32 Healthy Primary Partition

It shows no errors.

Am I doing this right?

THANK YOU

EDIT...file ext only shows .pkg the once.

Re: Hisense 50P6

Maybe that usb drive doesn't want to play nice with your tv, try a different one, you have any less than 8gb?

Re: Hisense 50P6

Thanks again for the suggestions...I will dig out a small GB USB stick and try again

Re: Hisense 50P6

lotas, Diah,nomoresonys...

I followed Diah instructions exactly, thanks for the very clear instructions.

I used a 4GB usb stick this time.

Loaded it with the file, changed it's name to upgrade_loader.pkg

Inserted it to Hisense usb port, press power on remote, await boot to let go of power button

Unfortunately it still does as it did before, going straight into the coloured vertical lines, with nothing thereafter.

Tried a number of times, as well as trying in both of the Hisense usb ports.

Gosh, it seems so simple a thing to do, but this Hisense is simply not behaving for us.

Anything else we can try do you think?

Thank you everyone.
