Instructions for flashing new firmware
Before Installation
- Make sure USB Power saving mode is disabled for the USB Port you use to flash the device on your PC.
(not needed but better to disable it to prevent problems)
- Use a PC Back USB Port and not ones from the front or a laptop that have less power.
- Pause Antivirus software for 10 minutes to not interfere with the flashing or cause high disk usage.
- Make sure device was connected to PC before in flash mode and drivers were installed To Install the drivers
1. If flashing for the first time, you need to install the drivers with DriverInstall.exe
2. If you recently upgraded your operating system to Windows 8.1 or higher, it's also a good idea to install the latest drivers.
3. Let your PC recognize the device and automatically install the drivers
- Hold a paperclip into the reset hole of the device, keep holding then
- Connect the device with the OTG USB Port and USB-USB male cable to some back USB port on your PC.
- Now connect the power cable to the tv box(must be powered, live) You will hear a 'click sound' that Windows has now recognized the USB device.
- It will ask to install the drivers or install it automatically.
Flashing the ROM
1. Open AndroidTool v2.42 and connect the tv box to your PC.
- Hold a paperclip into the reset hole of the device, keep holding then
- Connect the device with the OTG USB Port and USB-USB male cable to some back USB port on your PC.
- Now connect the cable from the power adapter to the tv box(must be powered from wall socket, live) You will hear a 'click sound' that Windows has now recognized the tv box. AndroidTool will also shoe 'RKloader found' message to say device is ready to be flashed.
2. Select 'Upgrade Firmware' in AndroidTool v2.42(Second tab)
3. Click on the 'Firmware' button to load the firmware(update.img that you extracted from the 7zip compressed file)
4. Click 'Upgrade' to flash the new firmware.
5. Wait about 7 minutes after flashing and before unplugging device for firmware to settle.
6. Disconnect from your PC and connect to TV.
Enjoy
Important
To enable auto frame-rate switching, change to 'on start/stop' under Video Settings and under Display set the delay to 2.0 seconds, Expert Settings need to be enabled.
Use RKMC instead if you play 4K@50/60hz, otherwise Kodi 18 works better.
Don't use Kodi 17 from the Play Store as it is several months outdated, buggy and don't have the fix for 4K GUI menus showing properly or mouse pointer working in 4K resolution.
