    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?

              One million dollars question.
              The problem is I have this tv with almost dead Emmc if I hold Vol - and Power button for about 40 sec. it goes in Recovery mod but does not want to boot from USB .

              Sony Android TVs eMMC Issues
              by PontyPCs
              Hi people.

              I have been trying to get my head round these issues with the eMMC putting the TV in to a boot loop condition, or completely dead, when a dump of the Boot 1, Boot 2 and USERDATA partitions have been made, the MLC lifetime counter has been reset, using the original eMMC with the RPMB partition intact and the eMMC is flashed with the original dump, Netflix and a few other Apps don't work. i assume all the DHCP keys and factory programmed RPMB access Key will be contained within the original dump, and as we are re-flashing the original eMMC i would expect every thing to work....

              Hisense 55H8F Emmc programming help
              by EazyBone
              I am extremely new to programming and dipping into this. I picked up a XGECU T48 Programmer and have the correct socket for EMMC.
              I took the EMMC off a working main board with no problems and threw it into the programmer. I click analysis IC and it gives me a report (attached) of the current EMMC. Model H26M41204HPR

              1) I manually found this chip(above model number) in the select IC section of the XGPRO 12.xx programmer software and it had a option for 4 bit and 1 bit. I chose 4... is this correct?

              2) In the options section point number 2 operation says "30...
