Attention
Software version numbers for 2011 sets are all defined below number 0.40.x.x. This might confuse servicers who store software versions for more than one set and/or platform on the same storage device (USB stick).
Always check the latest software version on the servicer website in relation to the correct CTN.
The set software and security keys are stored in a NANDFlash, which is connected to the PNX855xx. It is possible for the userto upgrade the mainsoftware via the USB port. This allows replacement of a software image in a stand alone set, without the need of an E-JTAG debugger. A description on how to upgrade the main software can be found in the electronic User Manual.
Important: When the NAND-Flash must be replaced, a new SSB must be ordered, due to the presence of the security keys! (CI +, MAC address, ...).
Perform the following actions after SSB replacement:
1. Set the correct option codes (see sticker inside the TV).
2. Update the TV software => see the eUM (electronic User Manual) for instructions.
3. Perform the alignments.
Reset of Repaired SSB).
4. Check in CSM if the CI + key, MAC address.. are valid. For the correct order number of a new SSB, always refer to the Spare Parts list.
Main Software Upgrade.
The “UpgradeAll.upg” file is only used in the factory.
Automatic Software Upgrade
In “normal” conditions, so when there is no major problem with the TV, the main software and the default software upgrade application can be upgraded with the “AUTORUN.UPG” (FUS part of the one-zip file: e.g. 3104 337 05661 _FUS _Q555X_ x.x.x.x_prod.zip). This can also be done by the consumers themselves, but they will have to get their software from the commercial Philips website or via the Software Update Assistant in the user menu (see eUM). The “autorun.upg” file must be placed in the root of the USB stick.
How to upgrade:
1. Copy “AUTORUN.UPG” to the root of the USB stick.
2. Insert USB stick in the set while the set is operational. The set will restart and the upgrading will start automatically. As soon as the programming is finished, a message is shown to remove the USB stick and restart the set.
Manual Software Upgrade
In case that the software upgrade application does not start automatically, it can also be started manually.
How to start the software upgrade application manually:
1. Disconnect the TV from the Mains/AC Power.
2. Press the “OK” button on a Philips TV remote control or a Philips DVD RC-6 remote control (it is also possible to use a TV remote in “DVD” mode). Keep the “OK” button pressed while reconnecting the TV to the Mains/AC Power.
3. The software upgrade application will start.
Attention
In case the download application has been started manually, the “autorun.upg” will maybe not be recognized.
What to do in this case:
1. Create a directory “UPGRADES” on the USB stick.
2. Rename the “autorun.upg” to something else, e.g. to “software.upg”. Do not use long or complicated names, keep it simple. Make sure that “AUTORUN.UPG” is no longer present in the root of the USB stick.
3. Copy the renamed “upg” file into this directory.
4. Insert USB stick into the TV.
5. The renamed “upg” file will be visible and selectable in the upgrade application.
Back-up Software Upgrade Application
If the default software upgrade application does not start (could be due to a corrupted boot sector) via the above described method, try activating the “back-up software upgrade application”.
How to start the “back-up software upgrade application” manually:
1. Disconnect the TV from the Mains/AC Power.
2. Press the “CURSOR DOWN”-button on a Philips TV remote control while reconnecting the TV to the Mains/AC Power.
3. The back-up software upgrade application will start.
Stand-by Software Upgrade via USB
In this chassis it is possible to upgrade the Stand-by software via a USB stick. The method is similar to upgrading the main software via USB.
Use the following steps:
1. Create a directory “UPGRADES” on the USB stick.
2. Copy the Stand-by software (part of the one-zip file, e.g. StandbyFactory_88.0.0.0.upg) into this directory.
3. Insert the USB stick into the TV.
4. Start the download application manually (see section “Manual Software Upgrade”.
5. Select the appropriate file and press the “OK” button to upgrade.
