  2. Copy the file: Rename the downloaded file exactly to upgrade_loader.pkg (case sensitive on some Linux-based Philips OS). Place it in the root directory of the USB drive (not inside any folder).
  3. Power down the TV: Unplug the TV from the wall outlet. Do not just turn it off via remote.
  4. Insert the USB: Plug the drive into the USB 2.0 port (usually the white or black port, not the blue USB 3.0 port). On most Philips TVs, this is the side port labeled "Service".
  5. Initiate the flash: Hold down the Joystick button (under the Philips logo on the bottom bezel) OR hold the "OK" + "Power" buttons on the original remote control. While holding, plug the TV back into the wall outlet.
  6. Observe the light: The TV’s LED should blink rapidly, then turn solid white/amber. The Philips logo will appear with a progress bar.
  7. Wait: The screen will go dark, flash, and reboot. Do not turn off the TV for at least 30 minutes. Even if it looks frozen, wait. The process takes roughly 10 to 20 minutes.
