Hey! Got a problem here.. After manually updating the KD-65A1 to 6.285 it says that the update finished successfully. But no new search bar and certainly no Dolby Vision. And the version number says PKG0.0000.0065EUA. Tried multiple different usb sticks (read on another thread that it was sensitive to the manufacturer) and tried different Formats (first fat32) and all of the usb ports. Also followed the instructions carefully. Anybody have a clue of whats going on? or how to fix this?
I recommend you contact SONY Customer Service and describe the steps you have taken with as much detail as possible. There is a Software Recovery package which you will require in order to flash the unit to its recovery state. After that you will have to upgrade the unit with the latest firmware revision. This is the only way to be able to upgrade the TV with the same FW revision level. They possibly will ask to verify the current status of your unit through remote assistance. But they will provide you with the instructions on how to proceed for that, so there’s no need to worry. In the future please make a habit of executing a Factory Data Reset prior to upgrading your firmware. This reduces the risks of running into trouble.
Thanks! Will contact them tomorrow
As a follow up. The recovery package is just the firmware on a Sony usb stick, nothing special about they told me. I have to send the TV in and will probably get a replacement. But it will take a week or two... 😞 😞
You could try a manual firmware update, it most probably will fix the issue.
Find your most reliable USB device which is in good working order. Download a formatting application called Rufus. Format the USB device using the following settings:
Then download the firmware for your A1 from here. Copy the file "sony_dtv0FA60A0AA0AA_00004100_16056031000175.pkg" from inside the ZIP file you just downloaded to the root directory of your USB device. This means do not place the file inside any folders.
To install the update please follow the simple steps below:
Check the current software version to confirm that the update has successfully been installed.
