Download link from first post is working.the link is not working, the archive with the firmware is damaged
NO, just tried both links and downloaded and extracted fine.the link is not working, the archive with the firmware is damaged
Yes, this is a priority and I have full confidence it'll be fixed.Is "Certain formats not working correctly via HD audio pass-through " being prioritized? Just asking.
I have tested the forum server download link and WeTransfer download link, both working correctly.the link is not working, the archive with the firmware is damaged
I downloaded again just for test and this time only took 5 minutes. It is much faster to download from wetransfer server, download speed is 1,5-2mbps compared to the minixforum speed of aprox 20kbps (6 hours time).I've just made this WeTransfer download link:
https://wetransfer.com/downloads/2a...da607e8bba5ca649ee75117520200501064125/24dd5e
Please let me know if its quicker.
Yes, I used the 2.1.7.3 older tool and it worked from first try.Just tried to load the new firmware via FOTA and it failed.
I then tried with the Amlogic USB Burning Tool v2.2.0 it failed.
I noticed in Tdrfx's post he had used Amlogic USB Burning Tool v2.1.7.3. and this has worked.

Thank you!
Hi John
My box is due to arrive tomorrow. Noting your comments above, do you recommend me waiting for another update fix, before plugging in the U22.
I am in no hurry now to use the new box and willcontinue with the U9h.
Regards
Hi ArcticwolfIt's perfectly fine to go ahead & turn it on, & start configuring your new U22 with the pre-installed firmware Dak. Just be aware, it may look a little shabby to the more refined finish your used to with the U9-H & obviously it may not be 100% in certain areas until it is updated. However, in general they run fine. (We ran them for a while with the original FW & yes some users do have certain issues, but on the flip side, some experience very few issues too. Obviously, you really won't know until you do try .)
After that, & once you've set your device up you can either kick back & wait for MINIX to work out the current issue with the FOTA system. (Then, when you do carry out the OTA update everything you've set up will be retained & in place already for you anyway.)
Or, your other option is a little trick I literally stumbled upon with the U9-H a while back. Basically, you can still set everything up on the U22 now, & still flash the newer firmware image as or when you do have access to a PC again too, (which would ordinarily wipe out all of your settings, apps, etc.).
However, follow my instructions in posts #15 & #18 here, it also works for the U22.

In this instance, credit to @Marty for being the first lemming over that particular cliff to try this trick with the U22, & to the other forum admins, mods or helpers who also went ahead & successfully tested it out too . (They all risked hours of setting everything back up from scratch on their U22's without a guaranteed outcome as well.)
It could save people a lot of time & messing around in the future .
But, hopefully MINIX will have the glitch with the FOTA system rectified very quickly anyway, & then you can just OTA update as normal .
Hope that addresses some of your concerns !!
Enjoy.

The HDMI CEC problem is not in the list - is it part of the package or will it be fixed later on?
Just one question. Why do you need to do a factory reset to install Xplore?The HDMI CEC problem is not in the list - is it part of the package or will it be fixed later on?
Factory Reset returns the device to a state with no user data and no user installed apps.Just one question. Why do you need to do a factory reset to install Xplore?
Does doing a factory reset not remove FW003? and revert back to the factory version?
FOTA does not install X-plore. It does put the apk in preinstall apps in the system directory though!Why do you need to do a factory reset to install Xplore?
I recently received a U22-XJ and it came FW002 out of the box.I have decided to wait until Minix send out the latest amendment to FW003. But ,I appreciate your advice on just plugging it in now. Just being extra cautious and will wait a wee while.
