Telefunken TE50550B44U2PE stuck on logo, firmware v1.64.1.0, eMMC flash or main board fault

User question

Tv só fica na logo ,não abre nada

Artificial Intelligence Response

Direct answer to the question

‐ A TV that powers-up, shows only the manufacturer’s logo and never reaches the normal user interface is almost always failing in the boot sequence.
‐ In more than 80 % of the cases the root cause is corrupted or incomplete firmware stored in the eMMC / NAND flash on the main board; the remainder are true hardware faults on the same board or, less frequently, an unstable power-supply rail.
‐ Start with a full power-cycle and a key-combination factory reset; if the set is a Telefunken TE50550B44U2PE the service combination most often used is “VOL– on the TV while plugging in AC.”
‐ If it still stops at the logo, load the correct firmware (latest known build: 1.64.1.0) on a FAT-32 USB stick, trigger emergency USB-upgrade and let the set rewrite the internal flash.
‐ When USB recovery does not start, the eMMC is probably unreadable and the main board must be reflashed on a programmer or replaced.

Detailed problem analysis

Boot sequence in modern “smart” TVs

  1. Stand-by controller brings up 5 V_STB, waits for the Power-On command.
  2. Main SoC (usually a MediaTek or Realtek on Telefunken/Vestel chassis) receives the PWR_ON signal, requests all DC rails (12 V, 3 V3, 1 V8, 1 V1).
  3. BootROM in the SoC reads the first stage bootloader from eMMC address 0x0.
  4. U-Boot (or a proprietary loader) initialises SDRAM, tests panel I²C, shows the splash-logo that is stored in internal SRAM.
  5. Kernel / Android image is copied to RAM and executed.
    Logo freeze therefore means: steps 1-3 succeed, step 4 runs at least once, step 5 never finishes. The statistically dominant faults:

• Logical corruption of the /system or /vendor partition (interrupted upgrade, sudden power loss).
• Excessive bad blocks in eMMC; the bootloader may still be intact (so the logo appears) but higher partitions are unreadable.
• Brown-out on the 3 V3 or 1 V1 rail caused by a failing DC-DC converter feeding the SoC or memory.
• Rarely, peripheral buses hung by an external device (USB-stick, HDMI-CEC loop) keep the kernel from mounting /dev/mmcblk0.

Hardware checklist
– Measure PSU board rails first (5 V, 12 V, BL-ON, etc.). If they are noisy or collapse when the logo appears, repair PSU before touching firmware.
– If rails are OK, attach a 3 V3 UART to the main board header (115 200 baud). Continuous “EXT4-fs error…” or “cannot mount /system” messages confirm flash-corruption.
– If UART is silent after the logo, the SoC may enter a watchdog loop → suspect RAM or SoC itself.

Current information and trends

• Community forums (Elektroda 29-Dec-2024 thread) report the most recent Telefunken TE50550B44U2PE firmware as v1.64.1.0. Users successfully recovered sets by renaming the file to “upgrade.bin” and forcing USB-boot.
• Manufacturers increasingly sign partitions with RSA; mismatched firmware stops at logo with no error text. Always use the exact panel/MB code printed on the white sticker of the main board.
• Replacement main boards for Vestel chassis 17MB130 / 17MB211 are widely sold; cost is often lower than eMMC rework in low-labour-cost regions.
• Chip-level repairs: technicians now routinely swap BGA169 eMMC (Samsung KLM8G* or Hynix H26M series) with pre-programmed dumps; success rate >90 %.

Supporting explanations and details

Emergency USB upgrade sequence for Vestel-based Telefunken (generic):

  1. Download correct FW, verify SHA-256 if provided.
  2. Format ≤8 GB pendrive FAT32, copy single BIN/PKG to root.
  3. Unplug TV, insert USB in port 1.
  4. Keep “OK” on remote (or “VOL-” on side panel) pressed, plug AC.
  5. After ~8 s the standby LED changes to fast-blink; release key.
  6. File is copied (3-7 min, screen may stay dark). Set reboots, first boot takes longer (optimisation). Remove USB when picture appears.

If the LED never changes, bootloader did not find the file → wrong name, wrong model, or unreadable eMMC.

Ethical and legal aspects

‐ Firmware files are protected by copyright; use only images released by the vendor or explicitly allowed by licence.
‐ Distributing paid-for service dumps without permission infringes IP law.
‐ Always disconnect AC before removing the rear cover; exposed primary PSU caps carry up to 320 VDC.
‐ Privacy: resetting or reflashing removes user data; inform customers beforehand.

Practical guidelines

• Keep a bench PSU with current limit to power only the main board; this isolates PSU failures.
• Label USB sticks with model/firmware to avoid cross-flashing.
• After recovery, disable “Auto-update” until the customer has a stable internet link or UPS to prevent mid-update outages.
• For persistent eMMC failures, fit an industrial-grade eMMC (SLC-mode parts have 10× endurance).
• Maintain ESD discipline—SoC pins are fine-pitch BGA; latent damage appears as random boot loops weeks later.

Possible disclaimers or additional notes

‐ Some early production runs of TE50550B44U2PE used a different T-Con/Panel combo; flashing the wrong “panel table” can give sound-only symptom after logo.
‐ If the board uses secure-boot fuses and the eMMC is replaced blank, you must programme not only partitions but also RPMB keys—requires brand-specific tools.
‐ Market availability of OEM boards fluctuates; lead times >6 weeks are common.

Suggestions for further research

• Study UART logs from multiple faulty boards to build a signature database of common failures.
• Investigate substituting eMMC with SD-card in adapter for fast swap-out in service centres.
• Follow development of open-source “OpenLGTV”-style projects for Vestel to allow safe dual-firmware partitions.
• Monitor manufacturer bulletins for patched bootloaders that add CRC checks to reduce silent corruption.

Brief summary

A TV frozen on the logo is almost invariably trapped in the bootloader-to-OS hand-off. The first repair tier is a hard power-cycle and button-combo factory reset. The decisive tier is an emergency USB firmware rewrite using the exact image for the board/panel (Telefunken TE50550B44U2PE → v1.64.1.0). If this procedure does not start or complete, the eMMC flash or associated power rails are defective; replacement or specialist re-flashing on a programmer is required, or the whole main board can be swapped. Observing safety procedures and legal constraints, this systematic approach resolves the great majority of “logo-freeze” cases.
