    Sony KD-43X8307C bootloop

    Dear community,

    I came with this Sony set with a bootloop problem. Maybe you can help me out.

    The Sony logo appers, the android OS starts to load, then freezes, then reboots.

    So this TV set is stuck in a bootloop, the first thing comes to my mind is a faulty EMMC, but I couldn't find anyone with a programmed replacement IC or a working motherboard that doesn't cost a fortune.

    I Only have a CH341A sadly, so I can't flash it.

    I made some video of the original symptom, when you plug in the TV.

    And I also made one where I tried a method you mentioned before in the forum. Forcing the TV into green LED mode, hard reset. I also tried force it to read the USB and do a firmware upgrade but I don't think it's even reading it.

    (USB is 16GB 3.0, plugged into a USB 2.0 port)


    Do you think is there anything else I can try besides EMMC swap?

    Maybe reflowing or freezeing it could help?

    Thank you for your time and thanks in advance!

    A CH341A won't work, it has no BGA socket
    There is no other way to programme the EMMC.
    Buying a preprogrammed EMMC is the best option unless you want to buy a better programmer, this could be helpfull for future repairs.

      Sure, but sadly I cannot find a place where they sell preprogrammed EMMCs for this model.

      Which programmer do you recommend me to buy?

              i need eMMC Dump for Sony KDL-55W805C
              by saghi88
              Hello everyone,

              The TV won't turn on (no power, no LED,). All voltages are present on the motherboard. The CPU is working and is getting warm.

              This is a common issue with this model. If the eMMC is faulty, the TV will either go into a reboot loop or not turn on at all.

              does anyone have the EMMC dump file?

              Looking for Sony KD-55X750F EMMC dump
              by 5m44p1x
              The TV falls into boot loop several minutes or hours after power on, I'm thinking it's the EMMC issue, and want to have a try from there. Is there anyone who got this one and willing to share it with me? Million thanks!
