In Fota Update we have a new firmware version 005 available to download. I click Download button, then Click Update button, system begins to install the update, but in the end it fails, gives Error and Installation Aborted. Also the remote does not respond, i have to remove the power cable to turn the box off. Please can you watch and fix it? Thanks

The OTA is not official yet but MINIX need to put it out there to test.
And yes the installation fails. :confused:
MINIX are working to fix this.
 
We are aware of this OTA problem and working to fix it at the moment.

We shall make an announcement once it has been fixed.

At the moment, we do not advise customers to try downloading/installing 005FW via OTA.

Apologies for the inconvenience caused.

I found the power button on my A2 remote rebooted from the recovery screen.
 
I updated without any problm. Unfortunatelly it didn`t fix problem with Plex sound and my tv streaming app still can`t play video.

Hi I was wondering if this update will address the HD passthrough issue in Kodi, also can you explain the note that says on the update that the root switch will be removed ..I want root ,will this leave me with an unrooted device? Thanks
 
also can you explain the note that says on the update that the root switch will be removed
‘Root Switch’ has been removed after customer feedback it was causing problems with certain streaming apps, verified these streaming apps now work correctly; no longer detect root (which previous happened even when the root switch was off).

I think MINIX are going to release the firmware with root/switch also. I think it will only be possible to update to said version using the burning tool and not via OTA.

will this leave me with an unrooted device?
Yes.

Yes.
How do Mac people upgrade? Would we be able to upgrade via USB?
 
005FW OTA installation fails [DON'T ATTEMPT TO INSTALL, MINIX ARE WORKING TO FIX IT ASAP]

Note to Self: Visit the forum prior to install kind update offer from OTA.

I got the same screen as Villa is showing in post #7. I'm sooooooooooo glad the system rebooted normally. Then I came here to see if I'm once again the only one with a never heard before problem. I'm almost happy to see it's known and someone is already working on it. That's a rare gem in my life of weird bugs.

The 005FW OTA problem has now been fixed.
It should be possible for everyone to successfully download and install 005FW via OTA.

What is the exact Plex sound problem? Are you referring to passthrough?
Which TV Streaming app does not play video to be exact?
