My best solution for you is to ask nicely from one of the guys over at avsforum. They all chat about their fancy olevia firmware upgrades, but no one posts a link. I think that's because they are pro enough to not want to be responsible for bricking someones TV - apparently one ought to match ones 232 serial number to a list for the right firmware or some such garbage.
Anywho, I managed to scratch up the MTK_download utility, and some 532 firmware, but not your flavor, so please, visit the pros here, and think about contacting guys like this:
"My set is a 232v, model 232-S-13, FM1-032000EGS76, s/n VCLN7A080065. My current firmware is A34_17LA20.PM24L.AdxT30 and I have not had a reason to upgrade.
The firmware upgrades are FM# specific. I have supplied this firmware to about 25 people and only one individual has had an issue with it. You are welcome to use this firmware, but there are no guarantees - send me your e-mail address and I will e-mail the firmware to you. It is 7 MB in size. My e-mail address is "[email protected]"."
Seriously, there's 48 pages of this one thread of chatter about trading firmware for the 232, and horror stories of bricking too, so flasher beware. . .
You can download the firmware from Olevia website. Olevia only provides firmware downloads to registered customers but it is free. Simply create an account by filling in your details and you will be presented with a list of available downloads.
Please note that if you do not find firmware you need you can contact them through e-mail. The address can be found from the "Contact Us" link down the page.
The website is currently down. Please try again within a few hours. Please note that upgrading with the wrong firmware will render your TV unusable till a correct update is applied.

Here is the updated link for the firmware (applicable for all Olevia models). *Note* - This link is not advertised from olevia's support site. Sp grab whatever you can, before they close the site or restrict access.
The firmware upoad driver I used is at: http://olevia.ftpaccess.cc/support/O...eUpload_Drive/
I have never seen this link in this ite, so I thought it may be useful for all olevia owners.
As of me, I have a 537h B11. But there are multiple copies of firmware with same version, but different dates and FM number. I chose the 2008-04 directory with the one matching my TVs FM number. Here is link for the one I used (only applicable for TVs with FM number FM1-037000EGS13)
Note that all the above links are not advertised by Olevia and neither do they link it from their support page, so proceed with your own risk. In fact if I try the FM number and serial number in Olevias site, it says that no firmware update available. So olevia probably doesn't want us to do firmware update and there may be reasons for that. But I was desparate to get support for "Discrete Input command from remote" so that I can use my logitech harmony to send the exact input command to the TV.
