Hi all, can anyone help me i am struggling to update my x7 mini with windows 10, I have downloaded the latest batch tools and drivers. But getting unknown device, device descriptor request failed. Please help.
 
I feel so free to say thank you to the forum staff. My minix neo x7 mini works fine. Thats why I answer to Shroomsta as one who managed the problem.

Shroomsta you will with w(c)10 get always the same message or no message at all.

I took win7 old notebook from my ... and have installed the driver instantly.
Be careful with firmware, don't forgett to mark RESTORE.
I have almost forgott while I have been so happy that I could install the driver with rktool.
This is a bit extended answer auf your question dear Shroomsta.

Once again thank you very much for your work dear staff moderator ...
PS.: feel free to edit my english

hi do you know what i have to do to restore filmware and what filmware to put in the mini x7 box to make it work again please. it say recovery is on 4.4.0.
 
I also cannot get the driver to work on Win10.
I get the error "Unknown USB device(Device Descriptor Request failed)".

I dont have any Win7 PCs anywhere to try on an older OS.

My Minix X7 mini isn't working - and this was my only hope :(
 
1) Install Driver from Rockchip DriverAssitant_v4.4.rar
2) Connect special cable to USB 1 (extreme Left USB) and Computer
3) Power off Minix and depress RESET button and power ON, hold button for 5 secs.
4) Run Rockchip update firmware tool for win10 FactoryTool_v1.33.zip to burn in Firmware
This problema but I have a MINIX NEO X5 Mini

thanks
