Hey guys/gals,

a friend of mine bricked is 2017 Sony Model (X900e) during the recent update. It seems to be stuck in recovery mode (Android on its back with error sign).

I'm pretty familiar with Android for phones and flashing, but can't gather all the answers i need after 2 hours of research.

• Might a USB-A to A cable let me connect the TV in this mode to my PC, given this really is recovery mode? Fastboot doesn't seem to work on Sony TV's.
• Sonys firmware files are pkg's and encrypted, so flashing them through recovery might be impossible?
• Any other tips on how to revive the TV?

Thanks up front for your time!
