TCL L50P1S-F installs third-party applications via USB stick

This guide is specifically designed for the TCL L50P1S-F model. While it may also work for other TCL TV models, please check your TV's compatibility before proceeding.

[Installation Steps]

1. Download the Sofa Butler installation file to a USB drive or SD card. 2. Connect the USB drive or SD card to your TCL L50P1S-F TV. 3. Open the installation file using the "Software Recovery" feature. 4. Once the installation is complete, you’ll be ready to use Sofa Butler on your TV.

[Detailed Steps]

1. Search for "Sofa Manager" on Baidu and visit the official website to download the Sofa Butler package. Alternatively, you can directly download it from this link: http://app.shafa.com/shafa.apk.

2. Copy the downloaded .apk file to your USB drive or SD card.

3. Create a new folder named "TVManager" on your USB drive or SD card. Inside this folder, create a subfolder called "backup" and place the Sofa Butler .apk file there. If you're using an existing SD card, look for the "backup" folder directly.

4. Locate the "TV Guardian" or "TV Steward" app on your TV. Open it and navigate to the "Software Management" section.

5. Click on "Software Recovery" to access the installation menu. Look for the "Sofa Butler" application and tap either "Install" or "Resume." After a short time, you'll receive a confirmation that the installation was successful. You can now find the app in the "Applications" or "All Apps" section.

Once you open the Sofa Butler interface, it means the installation was successful. Now you can download any TV apps you want directly through the Sofa Butler platform.

If your TV isn’t recognizing the USB drive, try formatting it in FAT32 first (make sure to back up any important files before doing so) or try a different USB drive. If the installation fails, restart your TV and repeat the steps. If you still have issues, feel free to join the official Sofa Butler QQ group for further assistance.
