OTA update question

[sheddybong]

I just ran the update via OTA, all seems OK but the instruction to "Tick the Clear Data option to properly reset your device and access the new applications/builds once the firmware update process has completed." doesn't make sense as I can't find where to do that. Also, I tried to install Wookie, but when I go to SYSTEM and look for ADD-ONS it isn't there. I can find ADD-ON BROWSER, then INSTALL FROM ZIP FILE, but Wookie isn't there. Can someone pleas advise?

Normally when you do the OTA Updater it finishes and a box comes up and in the box you have to highlight the clear data. This sets your box to a factory reset and installs the firmware.
Here is a link for the wookie wizard hope this helps

That box didn't come up when I updated. On the Wookie Wizard thing, I get as far as INSTALL FROM ZIP FILE, then Wookie Wizard is not listed.

Ok sorry for that, I put the wrong link in....try this one

Good luck

No joy Dave. All I get when I try to type the address in is "no PVR clients have been started yet".

You can ignore the no pvr clients message I think. That relates to setting up a personal video recorder on your box (the ability to record tv streams). See if you can continue or ignore that message.

No, can't type anything into the path box.

Try changing to the confluence skin, to add it, settings, appearance, skins
, change it , you can change back if it worked.

 

[sheddybong]

Thanks, will try that.

 

[David Savage]

That should work....nice one.

 

[sheddybong]

Thanks folks, that did the trick. Looks completely different now, might leave it for a while.

If anyone else comes across this thread in the future, carrying out a factory reset - https://droidbox.co.uk/blog/faq-2/how-to-access-your-droidboxs-recovery-menu/ - will cause the newer firmware to wipe all data, then automatically reinstall the built in apps. In the above scenario, that would lead to a newer build of Kodi being installed.
