NEO X8-H Plus firmware update.

[TheBull]

Hello all, just wondering if anyone is able to help me out with updating the firmware on a Minix Neo X8-H Plus.
I've clicked on a few links to try and get the firmware and burn card maker, to update this to android 5.1.1 but none of these links are available.
if anyone is able to help me out this would be much appreciated.

Are you talking about the links in the official firmware post?

Both links are working for me, with the first link try right click and select "Save link as..."

Does it time out with an error or does it seem to just hang at 96%, if I remember correctly it does take a while after it reaches 96%.

It reaches the 96% then stalls for a bit, then says time out error as you from image. I've tried this a few times, some outcome.

Can you just double check the sticker on the bottom of the box and confirm it is definitely a X8-h Plus.

Yeah it's definitely a Neo X8-H Plus.
Could it have anything to do with the version on burning tool I'm using?

Yes, only use the one included in the zip file with the official firmware.

Unfortunately yes, slowly but surely apps will cease to work on Android 5.1 (API Level 22) as developers choose to develop apps with higher API levels.
