I know this is a dumb question but, do you actually have the file on your usb media?

yes, i saved it to the usb stick and unzipped it. it's not saying that the file is not on the stick, it's saying that it's the wrong file for my tv, even though it's not.

When you unzipped it did you unzip it to the root directory or to a folder? I don't have this TV so I don't know about updating it but some devices aren't smart enough to check inside folders.

I have the same problem, check your serial number, if it's higher than 712891112 then you already have the newest soft/firmware installed, I believe.

edit: I was right, got this from another forum:

These newer 712 Serial Numbered sets must have an even more recent Firmware than U0709111. Maybe U0709111 is just Sharp's "safe" Firmware that will work on all older models.

Your firmware is newer than the software update. Sharp should figure out a way to only display that update based on age of set build via serial number registered. It is confusing. My 42" Aquos has a December build, the firmware it came with is U0712121 which is a higher number and more current. Sharp Advantage told me not to do the update as the software update is old for my set build.
