Re: Sony 65W850C Android TV in endless bootloop

Try to contact Sony to ask methods to restore sw memory, it is possible that Sony would consider some maneuvers of property of his assistance centers , the other solutions the reprogram directly on the flash mrm and system access through pc but are both problematic and not for novice users..

I found this URL, looks like this is a known fault worldwide. I spoke to Sony, they are not willing to accept the fault out of USA and Canada.

Is there anyway I can reload the firmware to the NAND easily without getting a $300 reader from Aliexpress?

Assuming you have a bin file with the firmware that is meant to go straight onto the NAND chip, you could use a $10 Tang Nano FPGA dev board to write the firmware.

Obviously this requires experience with HDL coding, basic knowledge of digital communication systems, and a lot of time spent reading the NAND flash data sheet. This is why they charge so much for the programmers, they have already done all of this work for you.
