How to Update Samsung TV’s Firmware Using USB Drive

  • To start with, boot up your PC and set it up with an internet connection
  • From the PC, head over to Samsung Support’s download website
  • From the website, search for your TV’s model code and download its upgrade file. The TV model code can be found on the back of the TV or just navigate to the Support menu→About this TV and you’ll find it there
  • Once downloaded, unzip/extract the Upgrade file and copy/move it into a USB drive. Before you paste the file, make sure that you paste it only into the root directory of the USB drive you’re using. If you paste the file within the folder(s), the TV will fail to locate the Update file
  • Once the Upgrade file is pasted into the root directory of the USB drive, remove it from your PC and insert it into the USB slot on your TV
  • This will now automatically start the firmware update process.

While the update is in progress, it is important to make sure that you do not turn off the TV, unplug the power, remove the USB drive, or any of such activity. Doing this while the update is progressing will result in a firmware error. That said, we hope reading the guide above has brought some valuable information and help to you.
