[John_brown]

Hello everyone. John here. Can anyone tell me if
(A) Is it possible for me a layman to upgrade the android version on this box/
(b) Is there a fix for Kodi or FTMC available.
Thank you for your help

Is this the SAB A3?

Hello John_brown ,

Welcome to Freaktab.
I don´t think you can Upgrade your Box with new Firmware.
This is because you have a Special Box with Build in Satelite Receiver.
The only way would be when we know more about the Hardware then maybe it is possible to find a Firmware.
I think you can Install FTMC to it without no Problem cause it Supports Android 4.x.

Yes it is the A3. The version it FTMC supports is 4.4 or over. Mine is 4.2.2. Its ARM9a 32bit system. Thanks

Hi John

I had a little dig around but could not find anything specific.

Looking at the logo on the box though, it looks like is may have been manufactured by or for SAB Satellite.

Their contact email address can be found here and would be a good first port of call, as they may already know.

Hi Bluesmanuk. Thanks for the info. Have already been at the website and it looks like they are no longer doing android boxes.

[bluesmanuk]

On the product list yes but they may have an archive of software and firmware in their vaults.

Worth pinging a quick email just to be sure.
