Equipment software is constantly being improved, no matter whether it is a TV or a smartphone. Even if you bought one of the latest models, in the near future you will have to install updates or completely reinstall the operating system version.

The South Korean brand Samsung is also no exception to this rule. In order to prolong the technical relevance of TV models already released on the market, company employees have developed Evolution Kit hardware models. Alternative way– Samsung TV firmware.

There are two ways to optimize the operating system - via the Internet or via a USB connector. The Evolution Kit module is intended primarily for flagships, starting from the ES7500 model and higher. Also suitable for PDP TVs model range E8000. This method associated with significant additional costs. However, in the end functionality TVs will expand significantly, which means you won’t have to buy a new model from the latest line.

In addition, experts have provided the opportunity to update Samsung firmware Smart TV, as a result of which all kinds of errors and failures are eliminated, and new versions are aimed at integrating additional options.

Separately, we note the fact that Evolution Kit updates the hardware, for example, improves performance central processor. However, it does not have a significant impact on the operating system. That is why software upgrade is a more relevant way to improve the functionality of a TV.

What do you need to update your Samsung TV?

The software shell is updated via the Internet or via USB. Consequently, the list of required equipment will change depending on the chosen method. So, if you make it universal, it will look like this:

• flash drive or external hard drive;

• Internet connection;
• Samsung TV;

• software updates.

Some users prefer to use the option "Update in standby mode", in other words, the new version of the operating system is installed automatically. In fact, it's not worth it. Why? There are several arguments against this option:

1. As practice shows, installation in automatic mode causes the software to install incorrectly. As a result, you will not be able to avoid malfunctions of your television equipment. Sometimes you have to change the motherboard.
2. According to the set timer for installing updates, the TV will connect to the server equipment Samsung company. There is no guarantee that updates will be installed during the day, so it is possible that the device will start randomly at night.
3. If during the software optimization process the firmware file weighs too much, that is, there is not enough free space on the built-in hard drive, the new firmware version will not be installed, and the TV will completely freeze.
4. Updating firmware via the Internet is not best solution. There is always a risk of an unexpected loss of Internet connection, as a result of which the software will not be installed. This will cause the TV to not work correctly.

Therefore, it is more advisable to install a new version of the operating system manually, because then the television will absolutely work correctly. To disable the automatic update installation feature, go to the main menu, and then go to the section "Support", switch to tab "Software update", disable automatic installation of updates. On the server of the South Korean manufacturer, the firmware appears earlier than on the website.

Where to look for the firmware, how to download it and install it correctly, what needs to be launched on the TV.

You can reflash your Samsung TV using a flash drive.

Preparing the flash drive

To begin with, let's go to personal computer, from where we will go to the official Samsung website and find the firmware for our TV model. Before looking for the latest firmware, we will prepare a flash drive. We need to perform low-level formatting in the FAT32 file system, which is what TVs mainly support. For this we will use the HP program USB Disk Storage FormatTool.

Insert the flash drive into the USB port and launch the program. In the first field, select our media. The firmware will weigh no more than 200 MB, so any drive will do. In the second field, select the FAT32 file system. You can add a new device name if necessary. Uncheck the " Quick formatting", and then click on the "Start" button. A standard warning will appear stating that all files from the media will be deleted, click the “Yes” button. Formatting will take quite a long time, so let's start searching for the firmware.

Before going to the site, let’s go for a moment to the menu of our TV, go to the “Support” section, and from there to “Contact Samsung”.

The line we need is “Version software", we will need it to check if new firmware has appeared. In my case, version T-GASDEUC-1018.0 is installed. Now we can calmly search.

Go to the official Samsung website, go to the “Support” section and select “Home”. We go down, select the “Downloads” section, the “Product Support” window will open, select “Audio and Video Equipment”.

Here you can enter the exact name of your TV model, click search. Our TV is located, let's check technical specifications. If everything is in order, then click on the “Select” button. A page will open with all the information on the TV, we need to go down a little lower to the “Downloads” section and check the firmware version. If the proposed version is higher, then you can download it here. In my case, the proposed version is 1027.0. Click on the corresponding icon and the download will begin.

The firmware has downloaded and formatting is complete. The downloaded zip archive needs to be unpacked. Most likely, we will have a self-extracting archive in front of us, so we just launch it and specify the path for unpacking. If the archive is normal, then we use any archiver: 7-Zip or WinRAR, for example. Copy the folder with the firmware to the flash drive. Please note that you need to copy not the archive, but already unpacked files.

Turn off the TV, it is advisable to disconnect all wires from it, including the antenna. Connect the flash drive to the USB port with the TV turned off. We turn on the TV. It happens that it immediately finds the firmware and offers to reflash, you just need to confirm the start of the process, but it happens that the TV does not give any suggestions. If you have the second case, go to “Menu”, “Support”, “Software Update”, “Via USB”. USB scanning in progress. A valid version was found on the device. We are prompted to update, click OK. Please note that this will reset all settings.

After the update, the TV reboots, all we have to do is set all the settings for ourselves and enjoy the new software. It is worth noting that manual updating is much more reliable than automatic updating, so it can be disabled. Go to “Software Update”, “Update in Mode”, “Turn Off”. From now on we will only update via USB.

In this video you will learn how to update your TV:

The model name is indicated in the search bar of the site; if there are updates, the corresponding information appears. Choose a package in Russian, English and multilingual versions are not always convenient for the Russian user. If several packages are offered, choose the one that suits you best latest version firmware. Further procedure:

If, when updating the firmware via USB, the TV reports an error, you should exit the menu, disconnect the flash drive and repeat the process of writing the selected package with preliminary formatting of the USB drive.

Update via Internet

Only Smart TVs can be connected to the Internet; the connection is made via Wi-Fi router or wire. A wired connection is not possible if you are required to enter a login and password. Using a router is the best option.

You should connect the Internet cable on one side, and connect the television device on the other. Be sure to check the availability and stability of your Internet connection.

After this, using the remote control, you need to enter the “Menu”, where the “Settings” item is selected. Then, in the settings, select “Network” - “Network settings” - “Cable”. As a result of these simple steps, the message “TV is connected to the Internet” should appear.

If you are unlucky and the Internet or electricity goes out while installing updates, do not try to repair the TV yourself. Believe me, it is cheaper and more reliable to entrust this work to a good specialist.

In general, the process of flashing firmware on a Smart TV is not complicated, and thanks to the clear interface that distinguishes Samsung from other TVs, doing it yourself is a completely feasible task. It is enough to update the device every six months.

When purchasing a new TV, users hope for uninterrupted operation of the device. However, the rapid development of technology opens up new prospects and already six months after the purchase of what seems to be the latest model, another new product with “necessary” and not so necessary functions is thrown onto the market. The Samsung company is no exception, which periodically introduces improved playback devices. To avoid spending money on buying a new TV, you can simply update the firmware of your Samsung TV.

Firmware update methods

Firmware is the software installed on a device. If you update in a timely manner, the TV will work better, and the functionality of the unit will also expand. Firmware is also needed to correct errors that arise during the operation of the TV or if the previous settings “fail” and the TV breaks down.

You can replace the software in the following ways:

• via USB flash drive;
• direct download via the Internet.

Installing new software from a flash drive is considered a safe update option.

However, before downloading the firmware, you need to find out whether the TV requires changes. In addition, you need to check the software for compatibility with the device. Otherwise, not only will you not improve the TV, but you will also break the model.

To do this update, connect your TV to the Internet via a router wireless connection or using a LAN cable. After that, go to the “Menu” tab on the TV and select “Support” - “Software Update” - “Update Now”.

The download and installation of the new firmware will automatically begin, then the TV will reboot on its own. The action is performed several times to ensure that the latest version is installed.

After the firmware is installed, you can use the Smart TV function.

Experts are wary of this method of changing settings and recommend downloading the software to a flash drive.

This is due to the fact that:

• There is no way to independently control the update installation steps. Sometimes the settings are installed incorrectly, which causes a number of problems. To correct the resulting shortcomings, you even have to change the motherboard;
• if time automatic update falls at night or early in the morning, obviously no one will like the TV starting to work at this time;
• To automatically update, you need a high-quality connection between the device and the Internet. If the download does not complete and the connection is interrupted, the TV will freeze. Most likely, the device will need repair;
• If the device has a timer and the TV turns off during the update period, there is a high probability that the device will not be turned on again. Even if the new settings are almost installed.

If, as a result of the installed update and after a reboot, the TV does not turn on, then a failure has occurred. To determine the cause and eliminate the malfunction, it is better to call a professional technician.

Thus, manual software updates are more reliable than automatic ones, so the latter is disabled. To do this, select from the menu: “Software update” - “Update in mode” - “Turn off”. Now you can update your TV only via a USB flash drive.

New versions of the software can be found on Samsung servers, where they are downloaded before they are posted on the website. Therefore, if you doubt that you have the latest software, check the information on the servers first. Perhaps the firmware you want to download is already outdated.

If you have high-speed Internet, you can download the software even from mobile phone or tablet. But it’s better to use a desktop computer or laptop. It is easy to connect a flash card to them and connect to the TV via USB. The search is carried out as follows:

When the installation is complete, reboot the device.

Updating a Samsung TV from a flash drive or directly via the Internet is not difficult. To receive information about the release of new software versions, register on the official Samsung website, where you will need to indicate your TV model and address email. Registration is confirmed by a response letter from the mailbox.
