I have the above mentioned TV and am trying to get the latest firmware installed on it via USB stick. According to Sony's instructions, you download a zip file, unpack it and transfer the folder containing the firmware to the root of a USB stick and use the TV's menus to apply the update. I've now tried this with 4 different sticks, but get the same issue - when the USB stick is inserted into the TV I see a message along the lines of 'No applicable firmware update found'. However, using the TV's controls I can browse to that folder and can confirm that the binary file is present. Thus far I've tried one EMTEC and 3 PNY sticks of differing capacities to no avail, all formatted as FAT. I did wonder if it was down to the fact that I'm using a Mac, but the fact that the TV can read the drives would suggest that this isn't the issue. I know that the the Mac places a number of hidden files/directories on everything it touches, but the Sony documentation doesn't state that the media has to be entirely empty, just that the folder structure is preserved.

I had exactly the same issue with a KDL-40EX403 TV that I owned previously, as did at least another couple of people, based on this thread:. I don't have access to any Windows machines to try and generate the firmware on, so right now I'm stumped. I don't have any network access to see if I could download it over the 'net, but I might be able to find a long lan cable at some point so that I could try that. Any thoughts, comments, suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Once I started digging a little it was obvious, but then all things are obvious when you have the answer I suppose.

When you download files from the Internet onto a Mac, it adds a quarantine flag, an extra file attribute. If you follow Sony's instructions and unpack the firmware into a folder on a USB stick, the Mac's Finder file manager doesn't show you these options, and any files unzipped get tagged with extra attributes, inherited from the parent image's attributes.
When Sony's update procedure starts, these additional attributes must screw-up the file's checksum, and as a result, the TV skips the update because the file doesn't appear to be valid. I got round this simply, once I'd worked things out using the Terminal application, as follows - obviously the file name will differ between updates, but here's the general idea.
