Fixing the problem

Hi all, I have a Neo X8-H which cannot download apps, Kodi or anything basically. I think the problem may be it needs updating. What is the easiest way to download and install 5.1.1 lollipop as I think this may solve the issue? Do I need to factory re-set first?
Many thanks.
 
Hi. Yes you need to flash the device with a newer Android version:

Instructions:
1-Download firmware: (custom ROM)
https://probox2.com/probox2-ex-plus-20161220-5th-firmware-release/

2- Follow this:

Notes:
1-You need to flash the device via manual installation - USB burning tool

usb burning tool versions:

2-You don´t need to factory reset first but make sure you do backups before updating because all data will be erased.

You have another option >> https://forum.freaktab.com/forum/tv...-ab/682215-minix-xh8-finless-lollipop-rom-1-0

from memory I think this ran better than the probox firmware

Neither will be perfect but it is an option.

I would recommend that you do factory reset your existing box to make it as clean as possible before upgrading not withstanding @notrui comment about losing all your existing setup and data. I think its best to start from scratch and not use backups when upgrading your android version.

Thanks for your help. I think the factory reset would work best and I've got nothing on the box which I need. How do I enable a factory rest? sorry I'm not great at this..

Thanks for your help, tried the link and it wont download the firmware for some reason.

I would pick the firmware that @pusb87 suggested as it is intended for the MINIX NEO X8-H.

It is an X8-H you have and not the X8-H Plus?

The other suggested by @notrui, although it is reported to work, is intended for a PROBOX2.
