Pre Requisites:
- Ensure that you are on the latest version of OTA Firmware of Honeycomb 3.2 firmware which you can find it out in the “Settings > About Google TV”.
- All the data in your Google TV like applications, data partition and personal settings will be erased. This should not be a big deal as you can anytime restore everything with the help of Internet.
- Be informed that the warranty will be void, so be prepared for the same. The only way with which you can reclaim the lost warranty is by applying the official firmware update again which we will try to come out with very soon.
- In the process, you will be needing 4 USB Drives of 512 MB each and an obvious Sony NSZ-GT1 (Eagle) or Sony 24″,32″,40″,46″ Google TV (Asura)
