- When the factory reset is complete, the TV will reboot twice and finally turn on.
- Once it restarts, connect to your Wireless network
- A popup should come up immediately showing “Updating software” dialog. If you have a good network connection, the update should be successful and you should not experience the software update loop again. If it shows the update dialog again, wait for it to be completed one more time and restart.
