How to Flash & Restore SKYWORTH 65SXF9800 OLED Google TV (Firmware Update Guide)

If your SKYWORTH 65-inch OLED (65SXF9800) is stuck on the boot logo, dropping Wi-Fi, or throwing Netflix errors, a clean USB firmware flash is usually the cleanest fix.

⚠️ WARNING: READ CAREFULLY BEFORE PROCEEDING

• Regional Restriction: This firmware package is strictly for models operating in Russia. Do not attempt to flash this on TV models from other regions.

• Risk of Bricking: Interrupting a firmware flash or flashing the wrong variant can permanently ruin your mainboard (brick your TV). Follow every step in order, ensure your outlet is stable, and do not unplug the TV or remove the USB drive while the update runs.

Issues Solved by This Firmware Update

Flashing this firmware completely overwrites the system partition, clearing corrupted cache, bad OTA updates, and broken app signatures.

Problem Area	Specific Symptoms Solved
Boot & Display Issues	Stuck on logo, endless loading loop, boot loops after an OTA update, no display, or solid green screen during video playback in YouTube/Netflix/Prime Video.
Audio & Connectivity	Total loss of sound, intermittent audio dropouts, or failure to detect/connect to Wi-Fi and Ethernet networks.
Streaming App Errors	App crashes and persistent Netflix error codes: ui-800-3 (307006), tvq-st-103, and tvq-st-106, as well as general playback errors on YouTube.

What You Need Before Starting

• A USB Flash Drive: 8GB to 32GB capacity.

• A PC: Required to format the drive and extract files.

• Extraction Tool: WinRAR, 7-Zip, or built-in zip tools.

• Firmware Zip File: 9617_GTV_11_EUAP.zip

• Extracted File Name: upgrade_image_no_tvcertificate_tvconfig_project_id.pkg

Step-by-Step Recovery Procedure

Step 1: Prepare the USB Drive

1. Insert your USB drive into your PC.

2. Open This PC, right-click the USB drive, and select Format.

3. Set the file system to FAT32 (leave allocation size on default) and click Start.

Note: The low-level bootloader on the TV cannot read NTFS or exFAT formats when forced into recovery mode. FAT32 is mandatory.

Step 2: Extract and Place the Firmware File

• Download 9617_GTV_11_EUAP.zip to your computer.

• Unzip/extract the folder. Inside, you will find upgrade_image_no_tvcertificate_tvconfig_project_id.pkg.

• Copy upgrade_image_no_tvcertificate_tvconfig_project_id.pkg directly into the root folder of your USB drive (meaning E:\upgrade_image...pkg, not inside any subfolder).

• Do not rename the file. If you rename it, the boot loader will ignore it.

Step 3: Trigger the Force Update

If your TV is frozen on the logo, you cannot access standard settings. You have to trigger a boot-time hardware scan:

1. Unplug the TV’s power cord directly from the wall socket.

2. Plug the USB drive into the TV's USB 2.0 port (usually white or black; avoid the blue USB 3.0 port for recovery flashing).

3. Plug the power cord back in.

4. Hands off. Don't press power buttons or remote keys. Just watch the standby light. Within a few seconds, the red LED indicator will start blinking rapidly, or you will see a progress screen reading "LOADING DATA... 1%".

Step 4: Let the Update Complete

1. The installation takes roughly 10 to 15 minutes.

2. Let it run uninterrupted. Do not turn off the TV, unplug power, or remove the flash drive until the TV automatically reboots back into the initial setup screen.

Step 5: Post-Install System Reset (Crucial)

Once the TV boots back up into Google TV, perform a factory reset to flush out remaining old system configurations:

1. Complete the basic initial setup to reach the Home Screen.

2. Go to Settings (gear icon).

3. Select System → About.

4. Choose Reset (or Factory Reset) and confirm.

After the reboot, your TV will be running on a clean, stable system image.
