Zip Files
I've just bought a new tv and i wish to update the firmware which i can do via a USB stick.
I've downloaded the firmware which turns out to be a zip file. I clicked on it and went to a screen where i can extract the files. I highlighted the file and clicked on 'extract.' Apparently the files were extracted so i clicked on 'show me the files.' The screen went to my 'downloads' folder and show a single file, still identified as a zip file. I put it on the USB stick, put it in the tv, but the message it get is there are no downloadable files on the stick. Have i done something wrong? Should there be more than one file in the downloads folder, and were the files actually extracted? Thanks. |
I am assuming that your originally downloaded firmware file is indeed doubly zipped (zip over zip)..
Did you try to extract from the second zip file ? (The one into your "Download" directory) Also, please run the following command from a terminal, it should list contents of the zipped file without actually extracting it. Code:
unzip -l /PATH/TO/ZippedFile |
I'm not really sure you need to unzip it at all. Please read the documentation of your TV about how the firmware update should work.
Usually you need to download a file and put it into a specific folder on your pendrive (otherwise the TV will not find it). You will get a menu (on your TV) on how to proceed automatically. |
