Keeping your Samsung TV up-to-date with the latest software is essential for optimal performance and to access new features. While most Samsung TVs automatically update over the internet, there are situations where a USB update is required. In this guide, we will walk you through the simple steps to update your Samsung TV using a USB drive.

Step 1: Check for updates

Before proceeding with a USB update, it's important to check if there is indeed an update available for your Samsung TV. Here's how:

  • Turn on your Samsung TV and press the 'Menu' button on your remote control.
  • Select 'Settings' and navigate to 'Support'.
  • Under 'Software Update', click on 'Update Now'.

Your TV will now check for available updates. If there is no update available, you can rest assured that your TV is already running the latest software.

Step 2: Download the latest firmware

If an update is available, you will need to download the latest firmware file from the Samsung support website. Follow these steps:

  • Visit the Samsung support website on your computer or smartphone.
  • Search for your TV model using the provided search bar.
  • Once you find your TV model, navigate to the 'Support' or 'Downloads' section.
  • Look for the latest firmware file and click on the download button. Make sure to save the file to your computer or a USB drive.

Step 3: Format your USB drive

Next, you will need to format your USB drive to ensure it is compatible with your Samsung TV. Follow these instructions:

  • Insert your USB drive into your computer.
  • Open the 'File Explorer' (Windows) or 'Finder' (Mac).
  • Locate your USB drive and right-click on it.
  • Select 'Format' and choose the 'FAT32' file system.
  • Click 'Start' or 'Format' to initiate the formatting process. Note that formatting will erase all data on the USB drive, so make sure to back up any important files.

Step 4: Update your Samsung TV

Now that you have the necessary firmware file and a formatted USB drive, it's time to update your Samsung TV using the USB drive. Follow these steps:

  • Insert the USB drive into the USB port on your Samsung TV.
  • Power on your TV and press the 'Menu' button on your remote control.
  • Navigate to 'Settings' and select 'Support'.
  • Choose 'Software Update' and select 'Update Now'.
  • Your TV will automatically detect the firmware file on the USB drive and prompt you for confirmation.
  • Select 'Yes' to begin the update process.

During the update, do not turn off your TV or remove the USB drive. This can cause serious damage to your TV.

Step 5: Finalize the update

Once the update process is complete, your Samsung TV will restart automatically. After the restart, your TV should be running the latest firmware. You can verify the successful update by following these steps:

  • Press the 'Menu' button on your remote control.
  • Select 'Settings' and navigate to 'Support'.
  • Choose 'Software Update' and select 'Check for Updates'.

Your TV will check for updates again and confirm if you are running the latest firmware.

Updating your Samsung TV via USB is a straightforward process that ensures your TV stays up-to-date with the latest software enhancements. By following this comprehensive guide, you can easily keep your Samsung TV in peak performance.
