    Hello.
    I'm looking to repair my TV that loops in trying to launch Android: Hitachi Logo > Android loading > Failure > Back to Hitachi Logo.
    I'm looking for a factory reset of my TV and, for that, I'm searching for the corresponding firmware.
    From what I learn, here are the required informations:
    MotherBoard: 17MB170
    Panel: VES580QNDT - N2 - N42
    TV "Model?" : HITACHI 58F501HAK5750
    Thanks you in advance for the answers.

    AI: Have you already tried any reset/recovery procedure or USB update on this TV? If yes, what exactly did you try and what happened?
    No because I dont have the correct Firmware.
    AI: Can you share the full sticker references from the back of the TV and from the 17MB170 board (serial/barcode/version codes), or a clear photo of those labels?
    Yes

    Initial assessment

    Good find, but I would correct one important point: the Remont-Aud entry you linked is not described as an SPI NOR dump. It is listed for:

    ItemListed value
    TV modelHITACHI 58F501HAK5750
    Main board17MB170
    PanelVES580QNDT-N2-N42
    CPUMSD95NTGW8J-4-00HK
    Memory in archiveKLM8G1GETF-B41
    Programmer usedUFPI


    That means the dump is almost certainly for the Samsung eMMC KLM8G1GETF-B41, not for an 8-pin SPI flash. The Remont-Aud page also states that the source was personally read but “not rechecked”, so it should be treated as useful but not guaranteed. (remont-aud.net)

    Direct answer

    Yes, this is a promising and likely relevant dump for your TV because it matches:

    - Hitachi 58F501HAK5750
    - Vestel 17MB170
    - Panel VES580QNDT-N2-N42
    - eMMC KLM8G1GETF-B41

    However, this is not a simple USB firmware update, and probably not an SPI dump either. It is an eMMC firmware/dump repair route. A CH341A SPI programmer will not be enough if the file is really for the KLM8G1GETF-B41 eMMC.

    Why this matters in your case

    Your symptom is:

    Code: text
    Log in, to see the code


    That usually means the early bootloader stage is alive. In other words:

    - The board powers.
    - The CPU starts.
    - Basic video output works.
    - The TV reaches Android boot.

    That points more strongly to a problem in the Android system stored in eMMC, not necessarily in the small SPI flash.

    On a Vestel Android main board such as 17MB170, the memories are typically divided like this:

    MemoryTypical roleFailure symptom
    SPI NOR / small serial flashEarly bootloader, low-level configuration, board start-up dataNo boot, no logo, dead/stuck standby, corrupted boot logo
    eMMCAndroid OS, kernel, recovery, system/vendor/data partitionsAndroid boot loop, stuck at logo, failed update, apps/system crash
    EEPROM/config area, if presentOption bytes, panel settings, NVM dataWrong panel, no picture, wrong backlight, option errors


    Since your TV gets as far as Android loading, the eMMC dump is actually more relevant than an SPI dump.

    Important correction: do not treat this as an SPI job

    If the archive contains data for:

    Code: text
    Log in, to see the code


    then it is for an eMMC BGA chip, not an 8-pin SPI chip.

    That changes the required tools.

    If it were SPI

    You would use something like:

    - CH341A
    - TL866/T48
    - RT809H
    - SOIC-8 clip or desoldering

    For this linked dump, likely eMMC

    You need an eMMC-capable programmer, for example:

    - UFPI / UFPI Plus
    - EasyJTAG
    - Medusa Pro
    - UFI Box
    - RT809H/RT809F, depending on adapter/support
    - Other ISP/eMMC service tools

    You may need either:

    1. ISP connection to the board test pads, or
    2. Desoldering the eMMC BGA chip, programming it externally, then resoldering it.

    For most hobbyists, eMMC work is significantly harder than SPI work.

    Recommended repair sequence

    1. Try factory reset / recovery first, if possible

    Before chip-level programming, try to enter Android recovery or Vestel recovery mode. It costs nothing and does not risk damaging the board.

    Typical approaches on Vestel Android TVs may include:

    - Disconnect mains power.
    - Insert USB only if you have a correct update package.
    - Hold the TV joystick/button or sometimes OK on the remote.
    - Reconnect mains power while holding the key.
    - Wait for LED flashing or recovery screen.

    The exact combination depends on the Vestel software branch, so do not rely blindly on one sequence.

    If you manage to access recovery, first try:

    Code: text
    Log in, to see the code


    If the
    /data
    partition is corrupted, this alone can fix the boot loop.

    ---

    2. If no recovery is possible, use the eMMC dump

    If you obtain the Remont-Aud archive and it really contains the KLM8G1GETF-B41 dump, the professional repair procedure is:

    1. Remove the main board.
    2. Identify the eMMC chip:
    Code: text
    Log in, to see the code

    3. Connect using ISP or remove the eMMC.
    4. Read and save the original eMMC contents first.
    5. Compare read stability if possible.
    6. Write the downloaded dump.
    7. Verify after writing.
    8. Refit board and test.

    Do not skip the backup stage. Even corrupted contents can contain useful unique data such as:

    - MAC address
    - Wi-Fi/BT calibration
    - HDCP/DRM-related data
    - panel/option bytes
    - serial-specific settings

    Practical warning about the file size

    One odd detail: the indexed Remont-Aud entry shows file size 0.12 MB, while a real full dump of a KLM8G1GETF-B41 eMMC would normally be much larger. KLM8G1GETF-B41 is an 8 GB-class eMMC, so even compressed firmware images are usually hundreds of megabytes or more.

    Therefore, after downloading, check what the archive actually contains. It may be:

    - only a text file with an external download link,
    - a partial dump,
    - a boot/config-only dump,
    - a compressed archive incorrectly reported by the site,
    - or a placeholder.

    Before programming anything, inspect:

    Code: text
    Log in, to see the code


    If the real downloaded file is only around 0.12 MB, it cannot be a full eMMC image.

    If the eMMC itself is physically bad

    A boot loop can be caused by corrupted software, but it can also be caused by a failing eMMC. If the eMMC has bad blocks or degraded NAND, reprogramming may fail or work only temporarily.

    Signs of bad eMMC:

    - Programmer cannot read consistently.
    - Read dumps differ each time.
    - Write/verify fails.
    - TV works briefly then returns to boot loop.
    - eMMC becomes unusually hot.
    - Android update/recovery repeatedly fails.

    In that case, the proper repair is:

    1. Replace the eMMC with a compatible new chip.
    2. Program the dump into the replacement.
    3. Reinstall and test.
    4. Possibly set options/panel data in service mode.

    Compatibility assessment

    The match is very good because the linked entry specifically lists the same model, board, panel, CPU and eMMC family. (remont-aud.net)

    That said, still verify your physical board labels. Vestel used many close variants, for example:

    - 17MB170
    - 17MB170E
    - different panel revisions
    - different Wi-Fi modules
    - different tuner/regional configurations
    - different option bytes

    Before flashing, compare:

    Your TVDump entry
    58F501HAK575058F501HAK5750
    17MB17017MB170
    VES580QNDT-N2-N42VES580QNDT-N2-N42
    eMMC markingKLM8G1GETF-B41
    CPU markingMSD95NTGW8J-4-00HK


    If all match, this is probably the best available dump for your case.

    My recommended next step

    Post or check the following before doing anything irreversible:

    1. A clear photo of the 17MB170 board sticker.
    2. A clear photo of the eMMC chip marking.
    3. A clear photo of any 8-pin SPI flash, if present.
    4. The actual size and contents of the downloaded archive.
    5. Whether you have access to an eMMC programmer or only a CH341A.

    Short conclusion

    You found the right type of resource, but it is most likely an eMMC dump, not an SPI dump. For your Android boot-loop symptom, that actually makes sense. If you have the correct eMMC programming tools or a repair technician with UFPI/EasyJTAG/Medusa/UFI equipment, this is a reasonable repair path before replacing the main board or the whole TV.
