Sideload Android TV version 8 on my 2015 Sony TV

by circlethispoint

Hello

I was wondering if there is a way to side load the current version of Android TV which I think is 8.

I have a 2015 Sony TV which doesn't seem like it will qualify for an over the air upgrade which essentially tells me that I'm screwed with future updates and stuck on this version.

Any help would be appreciated!

I have a Sony XBR 55X810C.

No. If Sony didn't release it, you have nothing to sideload.

Thanks for the down votes? Guess this isn't a forum for questions

There is an update for the Sony TV OS from 11-27-2018.

You can refer for the installation package instructions before 'sideloading' it : https://www.sony.ca/en/electronics/support/lcd-tvs-android-x80xxc_x81xxc-series/xbr-55x810c/downloads/00015647

It is explained you tv model is supported :

  • XBR-55X810C

Somehow I am not sure which android tv version is the firmware update.

FFS, You don't "sideload" OS's.
