How to go Recovery Mode TCL Android with only power button - Philips, Sony, TCL Android TV

Hi all,
Our TCL Android TV (LED32S6500) is stuck into android boot logo after the update. Now I want to go to recovery mode but it does not have volume buttons.
Does anyone knows how to go to recovery mode in TCL android TV? Is there any hidden buttons or reset pinhole in it?
Thanks in advance

try to hold power button for around 10 seconds

It shows dead android logo with Error text.

yea you need to put a fw image/zip on a usb stick. it will start by itself.

extract it, put the Update.img on a USB and do the Recovery thing. Flashing Screen should be a Blue screen and not the Android one.

Sorry to hijack someone else's thread but do you know if the S6500 firmware would also work on the S6800S or if it's possible/easy for me to make a recovery image incase i decided to give it a try and it goes bad? current firmware version is V8-R41KT01-LF1V180.006777 android 8.0
Thanks

yea, should work. tcl does only 1 firmware / board.
edit: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1R-FgtW6olF2LgYholx_QnZbSBITz3Vy4/

fuqi . i would love to try your android 9 firmware thx . were to find it ?
ohh i found it nwm

i dont know yet if its really 9. but according to the file i got it should be. but let me know

it is .. working ok .. nothing really changed but 8 to 9
have you managed to root the tv ?
if so could you make a guide ?

ah nice! thanks for telling.
i only did root the newer plattform (RT51)
but tbh it's not worth it "currently", since you have to disable AVB and SELinux.
you can easily brick your tv and you need special cables... (depending where your serial port is)
should be usb on your model....

Awesome that's what i thought same chassis RT2841, The above file ^ I assume as it's not an .img i would need to use the built in system update then select local and leave the file zipped on a fat32 usb? I have v229 as a .img but not your v234 as .img.
I just read on 4pda that some people have received v240 via OTA

Help me root this thing PLEASE

So here's the thing: I've just gotten hands on my G4, and I've been sitting here for 6 HOURS straight trying to root it, so I could install TWRP and then install CM13. But it's being F***** IMPOSSIBLE, I've tried loads of guides and tools and all I've got so far was a soft brick (which I managed to fix after a hard reset) and a big headache. Also, is there anyway I could root it on Android 6.0? Because when I tried to root it earlier I had to download this 1.4GB file that would literally take 10 hours to download. NOPE. Either I root it on Android 6.0 or anyone links me someplace else to download it, or it's not gonna happen. So anyway, any good sould would PLEASE explain me step by step how to do this? I used to mod phones a lot back in 2014 but it's been a while since I did it. My G4 is the H815.

Look at the port. If it is blue it is a 3.0. Try to find one that is not.

Still nothing, tried all my usb ports
I FIGURED IT OUT: I needed to disable windows 10 driver signature, I did this by clicking on the windows icon, holding shift and pressing restart. Then going into troubleshoot, startup and pressing the 7 key, BOOM, got the fastboot oem device-id command working. Now when I try to unlock the bootloader it says that the LGH815P is not supported? NO WAY

Did I finally bricked my 4k firetv?

I just see black screen with fire tv now. It doesn't show up when I type adb devices anymore. I was running commands on it left and right. I was able to unlock bootloader after hardware mode then was trying to install a custom rom ??? The command I know was something like abcde .......wipe/ system ._. Yea I know. Tried to do the hardware mod again but not picking it up. Is it gone ?

TWRP is still there when you restart/boot the stick? (you have to use OTG y cable + mouse in order to check that).
If TWRP is still there, then you can use it to restore a full stock rom or flash the system image.

What custom rom (there isn't one available for the 4k)? From a linux install try a lsusb and see if anything is there (preloader or phone). When you were running commands, were you in the hacked fastboot? As @Pretoriano80 said, get in into twrp and flash, here is a link to the latest to flash to restore, but hopefully you made a backup for you started.

TWRP was there but after performing /systemwipe i just see that black screen with firetv logo on the screen it skips the TWRP :/ nothing shows up when i type in adb devices (Minimal ADB and Fastboot) like before it would give a serial number and connected status. nothing in adblink either.
i did ordered that cable like 1 month ago it's not here yet. I might ordered another one today from amazon. I was wondering isn't there any software which can turn laptop keyboard to firestick keyboard from some commands? Adb link has remote which i can use ONCE it's inside the fireOS. A physical keyboard with OTG cable is must for this ? Any alternative ?
and i did search all the first 3 pages of the forum to find the stock rom for 4k firestick but couldn't may be because its was 3 am lol
Thanks for the reply!

Thanks for the stock rom link, i wished i would have found that last night earlier but i guess it's too late now ._. i will try the hardware mod again but it's not detecting it. i also broke one of the chip before, the hardware mode still went last night earlier so it should work again ?

Sounds like you unlocked. Did you make it to twrp?
Lsusb is a Linux command in terminal that will show what is connected. This will tell what mode it is in. I broke a chip off one of mine too (tweezers were a bad thought), but that was 7 months ago missing it and it still runs like the rest of mine sticks. The 4k is called mantis, tank is the fire stick2. Totally different.

That shows you an obvious error in the fastboot step.
Try using a different cable and be sure to do the process from an 2.0 Port.
Since the bootROM part is already done, just type:
Code:
sudo ./boot-fastboot.sh
Connect the stick WITHOUT SHORT ANYTHING and the script will ask to the Preloader to boot to Hacked Fastboot Mode.
When you see "Hacked Fastboot Mode" in the screen of the device, try running fastboot-step.sh again.

i have ordered last month, still not here yet. Might order another one from amazon today. isn't there any software which can convert laptop keyboard temporarily for firestick?
and this might be thinking too oddly but lets say i have a micro usb to usb adapter after i plug that in firestick can i take a usb to usb cable and plug it into usb hub? and then plug keyboard mouse usb drive in it ....all going to firestick via usb to usb cable finally converting the signal from usb to usb micro adapter. i believe i have a usb hub which can be powered...

No, it has to be a otg. On boot, it will detect it and automatically give you the option for recovery. If you can get into fastboot (you were there before when you ran fastboot.sh you might be able to boot into recovery with fastboot reboot recovery or something simalar. But being in recovery you wont be able to do much unless you have adb connections, or a mouse/keyboard with OTG. Amazon is basically shipping a week for everything right now. I think you really need a OTG to pull it out. ADB and fastboot commands can really screw things up from my novice experience. Get that OTG and try it. I will warn, get one that says it will work for the firestick4k, they dont all work....Make you you give a thanks to the people trying to help, no one is getting paid here...

Thank you for that information. Appreciate it. Yea everything is late on amazon now even prime :/ but hopefully i find one which works on the first try otherwise it would be a super bumber...
..but then again how would i know if it's the otg NOT working OR the firestick software/hardware? i did broke one capacitor and was running commands on it like a mad man lol , i believe the CLK one on the picture. what it is for ? why was the firestick still working almost normally after i broke it ? attaching the picture

There are some that say they work. The ones i have had issues with are the OTG hubs. Depending on which chip was damaged, but i broke one off of mine too about 7 months ago (tweezers are bad) but it has been working the same as the rest of mine. could be a heat thing?
Aaahhhhh hit that virus with a brick because i was able to finally fix my firestick last night, pheww!!

Were you unlocked? Unless you were playing with recovery, If you have a OTG plugged in from a power off state you should get a recovery option.

Hi Michajin (Thanks for the reply)
Yes I have an unlocked bootloader, TWRP, and was rooted.
I can get into TWRP via OTG, but it doesn't matter what I flash (Stock or Pre-Rooted), all I get is a black screen (I've left it overnight just to be sure).
I was thinking maybe I should try to flash directly from bootloader rather than TWRP, or making a backup from my other firestick and trying that (the data partition at least).
Either way I'll have to do a little more research first, so any thoughts would be greatly appreciated....

Bricked 55c6us after updates attempts

Hi guys, first of all I'm sorry if is there a threat about this already. I've looked around before I started this new one.
I was having problems with Netflix rebooting my TV in the last entire month, so I downloaded myself the update in tcl Brazil website, and flashed the latest version. The problems persist, so I contacted TCL support to start procedures to have my problems solved and maybe have my TV replaced once I have one year warranty. By email the support team gave me a link to download another version of the update firmware, claiming the one I got from their website was out of date. Well, I flashed the new firmware once, factory resetet again and problems kept coming!
then I cam here in the forum and found this link support.tclelectronics.com.au/software-version
from tcl Australia, so downloaded the indicated version to my TV model 55c6us and tryed to flash it.
Well, now I'm stuck in a black screen, with no tcl boot logo, no android logo, nothing... Ive turned off and on several times holding the power button, doing all the steps to flash from USB but can't reach any boot or recover screen!
Is there a way to flash using and male to male USB cable connected to my pc? if yes, please link me. Don't know what to do =(
Thanks a lot!
had the exact same problem when trying to update to the new version. did you figured it out?
atualization: seems like the usb 3.0 port, not the service usb port now is flashing(it changed), but seems like the android OS is being built in the pendrive, by mistake. unfortunatly in the service port the firmware is not recognized anymore, i think changing the firmwere messed with a lot of things. would love if someone could help me a little. thanks
update ' i have found that i can update with .pkg files and when i do try they kind of crash but always generate some android files inside the pendrive. now i could du it on the service usb, but without video. just realized too that the tv actually turns on and enters a menu with aprox 25 options. i can hear the scroll trough the options when pressing down on the remote. but no video at all.
update ' found that the menu was the fresh installation menu, choose language and etcetera.
could configure the tv. but NO IMAGE AT ALL.
i was able to send a youtube video to the tv, the audio worked perfectly. the backlight is lit but looks like the lcd is off.

That's the problem..
My drivers are up to date.. I can connect my other phone and this is no problem.
Just the A50 will not connected or detected by the pc.
Does the a50 charge and does the cable transfer data?

The same cable works with the s20
And the A50 starts if I connect the cable.

I Cannot Help You Fix Your Phone
Sorry
Samsung always does crap different. They integrated the nasty vertified boot but does not enable fastboot mode which allows disabling it. At least as far my knowledge reaches, your phone is just to me a fancy, glowing paperweight, although I know telling you that is heartbreaking.
Your options could really get up to:
Find, some other posts related, or senior members and developers who are helpful, or Google 'vertified boot Samsung bypass' as a last hope.
Define your A50 as obsolete, (maybe cry for your money then) sell it on ebay as 'parts / unfixable'. If you need the data protected, sell the body, screen, battery and dispose the motherboard in some known environmentally friendly way.
I don't recommend putting your hopes off, so I will provide some related posts from now on.
If you wanna get the data back, there is a (kind of hard) way to do it.
Unsolder your emmc chip and solder it onto a usb drive.
Also, replacing the EMMC storage chip may help as the corrupted data will be replaced, and maybe that is the answer of the problem but that requires high soldering skills which puts off most people.
