TCL Android TV will not factory reset. - Android TV General

Hi all , I have a TCL 43C725K and was very happy with the TV. I also bought a Nvidia Shield TV Pro for the front room, after watching some videos I decided to install the wolf launcher on the shield and it's working fine. As I liked the new launcher I thought I would install on my bedroom TV Iie the TCL 43C725K, all was good untill I turned off the TV. I sat down yesterday and turned it on and I now have some white text in the bottom left corner which gives lots of info about the TV. I tried all sorts to remove it but couldn't so I went to do a factory reset in the menu, when you get to the part that says erase everything it does nothing,. I have looked all over the TV for a reset button but can not find one. Does anybody have any idea how to rectify this problem as the wife is not happy

Logo then Black Screen after 9 months of operation

Hi All
I have had my shield since last July hooked up to my Yamaha RX-V1075 receiver which feeds my Panasonic AE8000U projector.
Two weeks ago, I turned on as normal and I had an issue with a black screen, rebooted, logo appears for about 5 seconds and then black screen. Booted into safe mode, updated to 7.2.3 and the same issue.
One thing I did try and do at around the same time was connect an old harmony elite remote, I have since disconnected this and gone back to my old 4 remote world :laugh:
I can hook the shield up to my TV and it works fine, I have factory reset it. Still no joy and tried multiple HDMI cables.
Any ideas why it would stop working after 9 months, could this be the update or HDCP which is causing this problem. Any settings I can change in the shield to troubleshoot or check.
Thanks for your help.

Had a friend of mine experience a very similar situation after only 4 months. He ended up contacting nVidia and they RMA'd the unit.

Factory reseting a Smart TV

Hello evryone,
I'm a bit in a pickle here, i got a smart TV (zephir store brand) that costantly loops trough the zephir logo and smarttv logo.
As far as i know the tv fuction perfectly fine until the previus owner tried to performe a firmware update, during the update something went wrong and now we are in this situation.
Till now i have tried the following:
Turning it of and on
Un plug the power and wait for 1h
Tried to perform a factory reset via remote
Tried to perform a factory reset while holding the power button
Tried to perform a factory reset while holding the power button and the volume down button
Tried to perform a factory reset while holding the power button and the volume up button
Tried to connect an usb keyboard
tried to connect via usb to PC
Nothing of the above showed any sing of response at this point the owner has given up on the TV but i still wana try to use it as a second monitor or something, so with all of that i'm coming here to seek the wisdom of the XDA forums. Any and all help would be apriciated form jailbraking to rooting, turning it into a monitor with no android fucionality, how to access the shell file anything at all.
Alright, so I couldn't find any firmware anywhere whatsoever for the Zephir brand. Tried loading a differend brand one for the same logic board. Managed to boot it but the picture was inverted and doubled. Made it to the source selection screen. Attempted to load a different firmware. The tv crashed while loading the booter. Now it won't even turn on the power indicator LED. So I guess it's well and truly cooked.
I could find the board online for like € 40 but I'm pretty sure they come without any firmware or OS? Does anyone know if it'd be worth a try, especially without being able to source the OEM firware?
Does anyone know if there is a way of making just the screen run on an arduino or something, I only need it to run HDMI anyways, 'cause I was planning on using it as a monitor anyways. The logic board is a CV538H-a.
If anyone has a suggestion I'd be glad to give it a go, otherwise i guess I'll bin it.

TCL TV 32S5200 - Stuck on Android Logo

Good morning,
I bought a TCL 32S5200 TV recently.
A problem appears at launch. The TCL logo is displayed followed by the Android logo. A loading bar appears but scrolls to infinity which prevents the use of the TV.
Note that the remote control is no longer functional at this time. It's as if it had no more batteries.
It is necessary to restart the TV several times (by unplugging the plug) to be able to use it.
Is there a solution? Should I reinstall the internal software? If so, do you have a link?
Thanking you,

tcl u55c7006

Hello team,
hope you are well.
I have this tcl u55c7006 for around 5years.
Sudenly it started crashing 5-20 seconds after booting up, either on TCL moving logo or android logo a bit later.
I've tried factory reset (holding power button on boot for 20secs+) or tried several images flashing without success.
The original build on this tv that shows on the board sticket is V8 t658t01 lf1v162.
I've tried also to disconnect all unecessary output from the board (button, speakers, wifi, leds, IR receiver) without any change.
Was anyone here successfull to overcome this problem?
Would a hardware store be able to resolve this problem? The tv is still ok , and the panel is ok, so i'm a bit sad throwing it to the trash :X
Thank you

Need help with Android Guy On HIs Back

I have a Transpeed Allwinner T-H618 (Apollo_P3) 4k 5g TV box. Im stuck with the android guy laying on his back with the hood open BUT no red triangle. I'v tried to use the reset button but it dont seem to do anything. Ive tied all kinds of remote button combinations, I think the problem is the remote that came with the box does not allow more then one button to e pushed at one time.
Yes i know its a junk Chinese box. But it was cheap and i only got it to tweek on it.
Any help would be great and thanks in advance
