Older T8 firmware and OTA update

[Nigelar]

The blog entry (13 August) still shows this. Anyone know if the link to the OTA updated app is now available?


HELP!!! I don't have the OTA Updater application.
PLEASE NOTE: this section is ONLY required if you don't have the OTA Updater app icon in the long list of all installed apps.

Don't panic if your T8 does not have the OTA update application, please first follow this procedure:

You'll need to first download this file: LINK TO BE ADDED SOON

You can either open that link in the browser application on your DroidBOX device, or use a PC/Mac then transfer the file via a USB stick/hard drive or SD memory card.

Open the Update & Backup application from that same list of apps mentioned at the top of this post.

hi guys. When are you planning on putting up the link, because i do not seen the OTA icon in apps anywhere. Is this the update for the whole main screen you see when u boot the box up?? The one I have is really dated. Also will it have the updated version of kudi 15.00??

Thanks

You can get kodi 15 right now. Either go to the droidbox blog on the main droidbox page and download it from there or get it from the google play store.
Still waiting for a reply on the firmware.

thanks for tht mate. Is tht update only for kudi or will it update the whole main menu screen etc? the main screen is really dated on my t-8 box. I also emailed them regarding this and see what happens.

 

[Nigelar]

Only kodi. You can replace the outdated home screen with a new skin by downloading an app like nova from the google play store. I posted some instructions here some time ago.

cheers mate. but the OTA update do a proper update for the main menu?

 

[Nigelar]

An official droidbox firmware update would probably update the mbox launcher.

 

[saroshi]

oh ok. do you think the OTA update is for that then? Surprised that the any memebers from driodbox team not mesaged on here yet??

 

[Nigelar]

Well not just that. There will probably also be some other improvements and fixes as well e.g. provision of the ota update function. In the meantime, if you update to kodi 15 and dont want to change the stock launcher you can create a kodi shortcut on the home screen.

Bumpng this thread as been waiting for this link from August post. my T8 OTA update basically says it has not been set up by the administrator. Any news as to getting the link for an update would be nice?

Might be worth sending an email or even use the live chat function on the main droidbox site.
See if they can help you sort this out.

Good luck

Hi, Just to let people know, the new T8 firmware is now on the droidbox blog site.

Hi can someone check the link for the T8 non OTA firware on Mega NZ, ive just tried downloading it using Mega and the file has errors or doesn't complete properly. Maybe a new link for the software is needed?

 

[David Savage]

If this link doesn't work then go to droidboxs main site and blog and there more on this here.
Hope this helps..

 

[David Savage]

Sorry problem posting the link so go to the main site...

New phone still finding my way round.

hi Davey it the link on the main site that does not work under the heading "T8 purchased before June 2015. I have tried downloading from it several times and it never completes. Hence why i brought it up here. Is there another link?

 

[David Savage]

Best to get in touch with droidbox themselves..
I didn't know the link was down, you could use live chat in the morning or just wait for them to reply on here.
Is your box down or are you just wanting to update.

Dave

Hi Bom (+Dave)

i've just done a trial download to my pc 2 minutes ago and it downloaded fine. maybe just give it time as it appears to stop for a few minutes then restart.
