This guide provides detailed instructions on how to download the correct repair firmware and flash it using the RT809H programmer.
Before beginning the firmware repair process, it's important to verify the technical specifications of your television. Use the table below to ensure you have the exact model and compatible components.

These symptoms often indicate that the firmware stored in the eMMC memory is corrupted or unreadable.
To repair the firmware via eMMC programming, you will need:
RT809H universal programmer.

eMMC adapter or test socket for RT809H.
Soldering tools (if the eMMC chip must be removed).
Windows PC with RT809H software installed.
Steady hand and basic electronics knowledge.
You must ensure that the firmware is fully compatible with the BN41-01958B main board and HF32AGH-R1 panel. Using incorrect firmware can result in further issues.
Identify the Main Board and Panel Code: Check the sticker on your main board.
Visit a Trusted Firmware Source: Use only reliable forums or technical support websites where verified dumps are shared.
Download the Dump File: Make sure it is a full eMMC dump and not just SPI or partial NAND.
Verify File Integrity: Check file size and CRC checksum if provided.
