Step-by-Step Update Procedure
WARNING: Read each step carefully before acting. Interrupting the flashing process or using incorrect settings will corrupt the hardware memory permanently.
Step 1: Format the USB Drive
Plug your USB drive into a PC, right-click the drive letter, choose Format, and select FAT32 as the file system.
Note: The TV's low-level bootloader cannot read NTFS or exFAT file structures during a hard boot.
Step 2: Extract and Copy the Firmware
Extract Panasonic_9602_GoogleTV_R_NX600X.zip. Copy the file upgrade_image_no_tvcertificatecusdatatvconfig_user_sa_20250123.pkg directly to the root of your USB drive (do not put it inside any folder, and do not rename the file).
Step 3: Run the Force-Update Method
Since the TV won't boot into the standard Android/Google TV settings menu, use this hardware shortcut to force a scan of the USB port:
Unplug the TV power cord from the wall.
Insert your prepared USB drive into a USB 2.0 port (typically a black port; avoid blue USB 3.0 ports).
Press and hold the physical power button on the TV itself.
While keeping the power button held down, plug the power cord back into the wall outlet.
Keep holding the power button for about 15 seconds until the status LED starts blinking red, or you see the "LOADING DATA... 1%" bar appear.
Release the power button once the screen switches to "UPGRADING SOFTWARE PLEASE DO NOT TURN OFF".
Step 4: Wait and Perform a Factory Reset
The flash process takes between 5 to 15 minutes.
Do not press any remote buttons, turn off the set, or unplug the USB drive while this process runs.
Once complete, the TV will automatically reboot into the initial setup wizard. After finishing initial setup, perform a clean system reset to clear residual cash memory:
