How I Sucessfully Update Skyworth 55G6 Software and Firmware: 4K Ultra HD Android TV

In this post, we’ll walk you through the manual update process using a USB flash drive, since online updates aren’t available for this model.


How to Update Skyworth 55G6 Software and Firmware?


What you’ll need:



Let’s get started to Update Skyworth 55G6 Software!


  1. Format your USB flash drive to FAT32. This is a common file system that most TVs can recognize.
  2. Download the software update. The file you’re looking for is named something like “upgrade_loader_common-xxxx.pkg” and it’s typically around 600MB to 800MB in size. Save it to the root directory of your USB flash drive (that’s the main folder you see when you open the drive on your computer).
  3. Power down your TV. Make sure it’s completely off, not just in sleep mode.
  4. Plug the USB flash drive into a USB 2.0 port on the back of your TV. There are usually multiple USB ports, so don’t worry about picking the wrong one.
  5. Turn on your TV. The update process should start automatically. You might see the TV logo displayed for a while – that’s normal. The whole update process typically takes around 5 minutes.
  6. Your TV will restart automatically, then restart again after a few more minutes. Don’t panic! This is part of the update.
  7. Once the update is complete, you’ll be back at the TV settings menu.

Double-checking the update (optional):


If you want to make sure the update was successful, you can check the software version in the factory menu. Here’s how:

  1. Press “source 3 1 9 5” on your remote control. This will enter the factory menu.
  2. Navigate to “General Setting” and then select “Out Factory Reset.”
  3. The software version should be displayed here.

Preventing future automatic updates:


To prevent your TV from automatically trying to update again (since you just did it manually), it’s a good idea to remove the USB flash drive or delete the update file from the drive.


That’s it! You’ve successfully updated your Skyworth 55G6 Android TV. By keeping your software up-to-date, you’ll ensure you have the best possible TV experience.


Here are some additional tips:


  • Make sure you download the correct software update for your specific TV model.
  • Back up any important data on your USB flash drive before using it for the update.
  • If you encounter any problems during the update process, consult your TV’s manual or contact Skyworth customer support.

By following these simple steps, you can keep your Skyworth 55G6 Android TV running smoothly and up-to-date. Enjoy!
