hi, I'm fairly new to the TS-8 box. I am getting a "there was an error with the download" message whilst attempting to update from 1.1.2 to 1.1.5. Not sure if this is related but this has occurred following me adding an Sata hdd and attempting to install it. can any one out there offer some advice please? Thank you.

Hello Jack,
I hope you are following the blog post on updating the box, if not please check it here:
https://droidbox.co.uk/blog/t8t8-s-ota-update-12-11-2015/
Also i would like to inform you that if you already updated your T8-S box with our November update then if you are again trying to do the OTA update it will show the error.
Hope hat helps.

hi thanks for the advice
However I have tried the blog and the error download message still appears and I remain on 1.1.2 version.
I have not ran the November update although I am unsure if this is done automatically? If there is anything else I should try I would appreciate any further advice. Incidentally I am trying to update to 1.1.5 as part of the process to get my ts-8 box to recognise my sata hdd I fitted yesterday; at the moment it is just recognising it as a usb device.
Cheers pjack

With regards to the hard drive, is the format hard drive option missing?
Can I double check if you're using the OTA Updater application, as the file linked to on that post if for T8 devices, rather than T8-S?

Hi, no the format hd option is not missing; I have formatted in openelec but back on android in settings it is still showing as 5gb free space with the 1tb hdd showing as a usb.
Incidentally I deleted the kodi 15 app that I may have unknowingly downloaded previously, freed up space and then the ota updated fine from 1.1.2 to 1.1.5. I will have a look through the forums at the weekend on what next to do with the hdd. Thanks for the reply, it is appreciated. Cheers

That's correct with the hard drive, it isn't treated as internal storage (see my T8-S screenshot below). Yet.
I don't want to make any promises as proper testing needs to be completed, but there is the strong possibility that an OTA update for the T8-S will allow the hard drive to be combined with the original internal storage and be usable for installing apps onto easily.

How important is updating firmware as I have a pre June 15 T8 and am fed up install Kodi, wookie etc,. Will it wipe all data and have to be installed again? The link from to the T8 download software above takes me to an app called 'mega', is this correct and will I get file from there! Thanks
The OTA update comes with kodi + kodi 15.2 DBMC already installed on your box, you will just have to install the wookie.
David where do I run the update from. I have it in Dropbox. Do I run it from android or Kodi? I can't find a video on you tube! Can you provide a screenshot of location on T8 box. Cheers
Didnt need to back up, Updated Firmware and Wookie and Apps still there! Thanks for your help. Appreciated.
