Official Release X7 Kitkat 250 ( february 8th 2016 )

Thanks for this. I had my old x7 running QS3 and wanted to remove root and put back to factory so I used info found here. I used the vista drivers on my win10 pc and it worked fine. I'm not sure if it matters, but I remembered from messing with this years ago, if you choose the wrong driver you need to choose another USB port to try again. Anyway, box is running nicely, I was able to install an IPTV app for my provider, Zazeen (YourTV, which wouldn't run when rooted) and updated the Netflix via the play store. The loaded XBMC for minix is pretty old and I'm not sure how much of an update I can get out of it. All and all the x7 is fast and will hopefully give me a few more years :)
 
Hello, someone give me an X7 because it display a blackscreen directly at startup (the (computer) screen power on but the screen stay black, not like ADB mode whitch not power on the screen ....) so,
I tried to flash this official firmware with batchtool (thanks my old XP Pentium 4), and it works, but after it open a 5GB flash drive and idk what i need to do...
At the first start after flashing, I see [pict 03] & [pict04]
and after I have a bootloop : Android logo [pict 05] than Minix Logo [pict 06] than shutdown/reboot (acording "pwr_mode1" jumper setting) ... Help Please

Did you figure it out? Are you trying to plug the minix into a computer to watch? What happens if you try and watch on a TV? The failure to E: mount is throwing me...

Thank you for answer,
i'll try this again but i think i already tried... and if you see the picture 04.jpg in the post #44 ok it's difficult to read but at the first boot the recovery formated the cache partition automatically
 
Hi. My minix x7 is stuck in android system recovery mode, can I download the firmware on this page to sort out the problem?
 
Thanks for your reply. Do I need to do it using a computer or can I download the firmware on a USB memory stick and connect it to the minix x7.
Windows 7. Make sure the drivers are installed.

Is it possible that window 10 will work ?

Do I plug the cable into the 2.0 usb hole or use the otg hole on the minix?

Can I use my Samsung micro USB phone charger as the otg cable for the minix?

Windows 10 possible not. The USB driver is not available.

I see. My laptop only have win 10. As for the otg cable, can I just use the micro USB cable that charges phone android phone to the minix otg port or do I need to get a dedicated otg to installed the firmware?

You can use any cable so long as it is a data type. Cables supplied with mobiles usually are!
The cable supplied with the device has a slightly longer than normal micro USB connector but I have used other cables that have a standard length connector and never had any issues

I found the vista driver worked on my win10 machine. Give it a try ...you never know!
Thanks for the info. Before your message came through, I was going to ask you guys whether I can update my minix x7 firmware if I down grade a window 10 to a to a window 7.
