Skyworth 43TB7050 Software and Firmware Update

Updating your Skyworth TV via USB is a solid way to ensure your system is running smoothly, especially if you're experiencing glitches. Your steps are almost perfect, but I'll add a few critical details to make sure the process doesn't "brick" your device.

Tools:

  • USB Flash Drive: 8GB, 16GB or 32GB
  • Format: FAT32

Preparation Checklist

Before you begin, ensure your USB drive is less than 32GB if possible. Larger drives can sometimes have partition issues that TVs struggle to read.

  1. Download the Firmware: Ensure you have the exact file for the 43TB7050 model (upgrade_loader_no_tvconfig.pkg).

    • Note: The file usually needs to be renamed to upgrade_loader_no_tvconfig.pkg or something similar (depending on the specific firmware version) and placed in the root directory (not inside a folder).

  2. Format to FAT32: * On Windows: Right-click the drive -> Format -> File System: FAT32.

    • Warning: This will erase everything on the flash drive.

  3. Transfer the File: Copy the downloaded software file directly onto the formatted USB drive.

The Update Process

Follow these steps carefully to trigger the "Force Flash" mode:

  • Step 1: Plug the USB drive into the USB 2.0 port (usually the black one) while the TV is still powered off.

  • Step 2: Unplug the TV from the wall outlet completely.

  • Step 3: Locate the physical power button on the TV (usually underneath the frame or on the back panel).

  • Step 4: Press and hold that power button.

  • Step 5: While still holding the button, plug the TV back into the power outlet.

  • Step 6: Continue holding the button until you see a software update progress bar or a blue screen indicating the "System Recovery" or "Updating" status.

Critical Warning: Do not turn off the power or unplug the USB drive once the progress bar starts. If the power is interrupted, it can permanently damage the TV's motherboard.

Troubleshooting Tips

  • No Progress Bar? If the TV just turns on normally, try a different USB port or ensure the file is not inside a folder on the drive.

  • File Name: Double-check the instructions that came with your download. If the TV doesn't "see" the file, it might need a specific filename to trigger the bootloader.
