I also tried with USB plugged in before turning on and it ran for 2 days.

What do you are meaning? The tv has been succesfully restored software and worked for two days?

yours Sony Android.system i guess, if so then its MB issue and exact at Firmware.. it may had got updated and was not success or interrupted by power surge during the process.

the only one way you need the hard reset... but you need to keep pressing the - and power after you plug it on wall socket till you got green LED.. try it several time, don't give up this your only cheap way.. if it turn green but didn't help then we can communication with the set via terminal come pair. low level 3 V TTL interface

Does this also apply to the xbr-55x930D?? I have been trying and cannot get the green light to come on. I have gotten the white light to stay on. Am I missing something??

I have not successfully restored it. I got the white light to stay on. I unplugged the TV and replug the tv with the USB stick in. I kept the USB in for 2 days and TV keeps on rebooting(I see the optical light) but I never get anything on the screen. Thank you for Assisting me with this Davi.

Finally success. The key is to wait until you get the solid white to stay on before you insert your USB, then it identifies it and also gives you the on screen directions on updating via the USB. It will tell you when it's successful and ask you to remove the USB thumb drive with the newest version is installed. So with android if you get the 8 blinks unplug the Tv for 2 minutes then hold the vol - and power at same time and plug in and hold them until you see the white then green then release. Turn on the tv and see if you get a solid white to stay on. If you do unplug the tv. Insert the USB with newest version and plug tv in. If your usb is flashing it's downloading and you will notice on screen directions. It's a process but it works. I want to thank Diah and R J for steering me in the right direction. Diah, with Android do I need to go into the service menu to clear any error codes or just leave it alone?

Trying this method on a 900C, did it give you the I guess you would call it mellow kind of music while updating? I think I have something wrong, thanks.
