Update samsung d series tv via usb. Easy upgrade samsung smart tv

The process of manually flashing a Samsung TV can be divided into two stages: selecting the desired software version on the manufacturer's official website and installing the update on the device via a USB drive. Each of these stages will be discussed below.

When choosing a firmware for a Samsung TV, you will need:

1. Check your TV model. The model of a TB device is indicated by an alphanumeric combination, which can be found on the back of the device or in the complete instruction manual. It is important to note that the model of the accessory itself, and not the TV, is indicated on the remote control case.
2. Find out the version of the current firmware. To find out the firmware, the user will need to go to "Settings" and open the "Software Update" tab. The current software version will be displayed in the upper right corner of the displayed window.
3. Go to the official Samsung website. On the home page of the site, you need to find the search bar and enter the model of the TB device - for the convenience of searching for updates, it is recommended to apply the "Firmware" filter. Next, you need to click on the only link in the output.
4. Carefully read the table on the page that appears. The new firmware must be available for installation on the Samsung TV via a removable disk and have a higher version than the current firmware. Also, before downloading the update file, it will not be superfluous to find reviews on the Internet from other users on this software.

When choosing the firmware manually, the user must pay special attention to the interface language of the new software.

How to update the TV firmware

Detailed instructions for updating the TV firmware via USB are presented below:

1. Downloading a file to a computer. Before downloading the file, it is recommended to re-compare the characteristics of the update and the current software.
2. Formatting a flash drive to the FAT32 file system - the NTFS format may not be supported by the TB device. To format an external drive, you can use the standard tools for OS Windows, which are accessed from the left side bar of the storage. The manufacturer also recommends using a flash drive with at least 4 gigabytes of memory to install new software.
3. Unpack the archive to a removable disk. The file with the operating system must be moved to a USB flash drive, and then run the downloaded program. In the displayed installer, you will need to click on the “Extract” button, and then wait for the unpacking to complete.
4. Connecting a flash drive to a TV set. When the unpacking is completed, you will need to disconnect the USB flash drive from the computer in "safe mode" and connect the accessory to the TV's USB port.
5. Launch update. To start the installation of a new firmware version, the user will need to open the system settings menu, go to "Software Update", select "By USB" and agree to the standard update conditions. After a while, the TV will complete the installation and automatically reboot.

Samsung Smart TV devices can also be updated "over the air" by:

1. Connect your TV to the Internet - via WiFi or LAN.
2. Open the TV system settings menu using the “Menu” button located on the remote control.
3. Select the "Support" section, go to "Software Update" and click on "Update Now".
4. Wait for the end of the search.
5. Confirm consent to install automatically found software.
6. Wait for the download to finish and install the new firmware.
7. Restart Smart TV.

This problem is related to the latest firmware update to version 1422, I also want to remind you that if your TV did not have time to update, I recommend disabling automatic updates in the TV settings, and for those whose TV has been updated, I offer detailed instructions, how to roll back to an earlier firmware version - 1412 on Samsung Smart TV J-series.

Go to the page with our TV model.

While the update file is being downloaded (Until we need it), we perform the following steps. You need to reset the TV firmware to zero (0), for this we download one of the appropriate files from here - https://yadi.sk/d/jM_jtM9fmYaB3. Finding out which firmware suits your TV is very simple, the name is identical to the previously downloaded firmware, in my case TKMFDEUC.

After download zero (0) firmware, copy it to a flash drive ( after unpacking) or an external drive. Next, we perform the following actions:

Disconnect the TV from the Internet, turn off the router or disconnect the Ethernet cable.

We insert the flash drive into the TV.

Disable auto-update in advance.

In the same menu, press Software Update and the TV, not finding the network, will offer to update from USB flash drives, press OK.

The rapid development of technology leaves no chance even for a new purchase to be such for a long time. Continuous improvement in this area is gaining momentum exponentially. Even today's purchase can become obsolete tomorrow. For some, it may be a discovery that technical excellence can be extended. It is enough to use the manufacturer's service to install updated software. This is often referred to as "firmware". In fact, the new version simply removed bugs, bugs, or added new features to the previous software.

The procedure for updating the firmware of a Samsung brand TV is quite simple. Let's try an example to do all the necessary steps for this. There are several ways, but we will use the USB update option. You will need for the process: a blank USB drive, a laptop or PC with Internet access and the TV itself, which we will update.

Step 1. First of all, we will find out the version of the software already installed on our SMARTTV. To do this, start the TV. We execute commands: menu - support - software update . The alphanumeric combination on the right side will indicate the installed version of the software.

Step 2. We find a site in the World Wide Web and select the product category TVS from the list.

We enter the approximate numbers of the model of your TV and hints for matching models are displayed in the search bar. Select your TV model from the list or enter the full name of the TV model for an accurate search.

The exact model of your TV can be found on a small sticker on the back of the TV.

Step 3 We make sure that the information found really matches the desired brand and model of TV. Then press the blue button DOWNLOADS AND DOCUMENTATION which became active after selecting the found model and get to the DOWNLOADS page.

Step 4 In the “firmware” item, we find a table with software updates developed to date for your equipment model. We compare the number with the numbers that we found the first step in the TV menu. Does the site offer a larger number than the established option? So it really is time to go through the upgrade process.

Step 5 Before downloading, we make sure that the software is suitable and completely satisfied. To do this, we look at the type of file offered for download: we need the option to update via USB. Then we check the language support, as updating with the English version will turn the entire TV menu into "English". The version you want to download will contain a multilingual format.

Step 6 If the firmware is suitable in all respects, then download the file to the computer.

Step 7 Now we take the prepared blank USB drive and copy the saved information there.

Step 8 Close all unused programs on the computer. We launch the program for unpacking the software update files. To do this, just double-click and click "extract".

Step 9 We are waiting for the completion of the process of extracting the firmware files and remove the USB drive from the computer.

Step 10: We install the USB flash drive with the unpacked firmware into the USB connector on the TV.

Step 11: Activate the software update. We enter the menu. We select "support", after "software update", then "via USB" and confirm "yes".

For the correct process of installing the firmware on the TV, you must do the following:

1. Do not touch or move the USB stick
2. Do not turn off the power of the TV or put it into standby from remote
3. Do not unplug the TV from the mains (preferably using a UPS)

Smart TV Samsung is considered the full leader in the market of "smart" TVs today. These devices are characterized by high quality, a wide range of standard programs, an intuitive interface, a convenient browser and good technical equipment.

Samsung Smart TV technology: how to watch movies over the Internet?

Samsung Smart TV technology provides a native browser on TVs, but it can sometimes be difficult to use. For example, while watching a movie, an error message may appear at 10-15 minutes. By the way, this problem is quite common, but the usual Samsung smart TV setup will not help. But you should not panic, thinking that you got a faulty device. The solution to this problem is to install additional programs.

Here is a list of the most effective applications available in Samsung Apps for watching movies over the Internet on your TV:

• TVZavr provides a huge selection of movies and supports the mouse (in other applications, navigation is carried out using the remote control, which is less convenient);
• Megogo, Zoomby, OLL.tv, and Tvigle offer roughly the same amount of content;
• YouTube and the like are convenient tools for working with video hosting sites. Here you can find almost any video material.
• Vimeo is a noteworthy service. Available on Samsung Apps.

1. We go to the official website of the company. Use the "Downloads" section. Specify the required data in the "Category" section.
2. Next, we note the type to which the TV used belongs. We choose a model. Click on the "Downloads" item.
3. Go to the "Firmware" section and download the new firmware version for the device you are using.
4. We use a USB drive. We perform the procedure for formatting it in FAT32.
5. Run the downloaded self-extracting archive. Specify the path to retrieve the data.
6. We transfer all the contents of the package to a USB drive (we use its root directory).
7. We take out the media. After turning on the TV, insert the drive into its USB port. Disconnect external devices: HDMI connectors and antenna cable.
8. After defining the program, a special window will appear on the TV screen. In it, click "Yes".
9. If the detection did not happen automatically, the control panel will help. We use its menu item "Firmware Update".
10. Enter the port where the drive is installed and wait for the scanning process to complete.

• The presence of a proprietary "smart" platform that turns the device into a multimedia center;
• Internet connection via Wi-Fi or network cable;
• Work with applications;
• Communication through social networks and other services;
• The presence of the Smart Hub function;
• Search All - search the Internet for thematic content;
• Samsung 3D - converting an image from two-dimensional to three-dimensional;
• Social TV - "live" discussion of watched films;
• Samsung Apps - company store;
• Depth Rendering - creating a surround sound effect.

So we figured out what Samsung Smart TV is, how to use this technology and what are its main features.

Modern TVs are not just analogue and digital television broadcasters, they are low-power computers on which you can install applications, access the Internet, play multimedia from USB drives, etc. Just like on computers, TVs use an operating system (OS), under this OS, programmers write applications that can later be installed on a TV. We are used to the fact that on computers with Wiindows, Mac OS, updates arrive once or several times a month and the computer asks to install them. The situation is absolutely similar with modern TVs, they, like computers, use their own operating system, which, in turn, is being improved and requires updating. That is what this article is about - Why and how to update the firmware on Samsung, LG, Philips, Sony TVs and etc.

Why update the firmware of a Samsung, LG, Philips, Sony, etc. TV?

There are several reasons for updating the TV firmware:

1 Improving the stability of the TV. Some TVs come out with "raw" firmware, especially if they are new, as was the case with LG TVs and their new WebOS (the old NetCast firmware). In the future, these errors and bugs are fixed and an updated version of the software is released, by installing which you will get rid of all or part of the problems with the TV.

2 Can speed up the response and speed of the TV. Some updates are used to make the TV more responsive and speed up (turning on, off, changing channels, Smart TV functions, etc.).

3 Adding new functionality. Part of the updates concerns the addition of new TV features.

4 Solving problems related to Smart TV. In case you cannot find the cause of problems related to Smart TV, one possible solution might be to update the firmware. I can give a personal example of how updating the firmware helped solve the problem with launching applications on the TV. A friend approached me to help connect a Sony TV to the Internet and show me how to launch and use Smart TV. I agreed to help, connecting the TV to the global web took about 5 minutes, but there were problems with the launch of Smart TV - they did not start, when the application was launched, a black screen appeared and that's it. Only after installing the latest version of the TV firmware, the applications began to run and, moreover, there were noticeably more of them. From this I concluded - if you do not want to have problems with launching Smart TV applications, update the TV firmware.

In order to understand why this or that update is intended, you can go to the website of your TV manufacturer, find the version of the update being installed there and read what it gives and what problems it solves.

How to update firmware on Samsung, LG, Philips, Sony?

There are two ways to update the firmware on TVs:

1 After connecting the TV to the Internet via LAN or WiFi and updating the software from the TV menu. This option, in my opinion, is the simplest and requires a minimum of effort, namely a few clicks on the buttons on the control panel. The only caveat of this method is that the TV must have Internet access.

2 Using a USB stick. This method is convenient for those whose TV does not have Internet access or is temporarily unavailable. In order to use this method, you need a USB flash drive of 1 GB or more, a TV and a computer / laptop with Internet access. From your computer/laptop, go to the TV manufacturer's website and find your TV model. Download the latest firmware for it to a USB flash drive. Then connect the flash drive to the TV and in the TV menu select - Software update from USB.
