These updates keep your boxes running to the best they can also giving us the most up to date versions of kodi. Also fixing the little things....
Yes it's a pain when they go wrong, and if you like to do custom builds in kodi it takes time to set up again.
But we all like the latest thing......

Hi
If there is a error probably box is already up to date.
If you are not sure please take a error screenshot and also take pictureof the MAC address at the back of your device and send that to [email protected]

Joke on a side it brings new functionalities but it needs to be done properly.
Looking from the hardware perspective so many people don't think about upside/downside of these boxes,
They are not phone so when you flash the firmware or doing update,if you run out of electricity that can be the problem.
You are usually warned on a phone to have battery fully charged,and there are no batteries inside the boxes.
So please keep that in mind.
Aside from that tons of advantages and fun use are there waiting for you with the box!

Don't worry about the message, standard response if you're already on the latest version. When there is a new update on the server, that error message will stop and the newest should download. Can you confirm the version number showing as installed in the OTA app please?
Brilliant, you're running the latest firmware then.
Version 2 was a test dummy file on the server, we were checking devices that had been flashed with this update would see the next one (once made).

If it helps, here is a screenshot of the current launcher. Ignore the favourite apps on the right hand side, they include some apps I've installed. Also the nav bar at the bottom has been turned on by me.
Thanks that's what I've got but I now get the notification that an update is available every time I boot the box.. When apparently version 2 is only a test file and it says not for my box. I have sent a screen shot in to Chris and yes I know I can turn off notifications but that is obviously not the way it should be working. And I don't want to have it flashing up an update is available every day until the next update. In the past its always said "you are up to date" not error fetching update this Rom does not support your device... It just ain't right is it

I've alerted the firmware developers, hopefully they'll get this sorted soon. I'm Chris by the way...
To prevent the notification from appearing for now, please follow these steps:
Settings (one or two cogs)>Other tab>More Settings button>Apps>Scroll all the way to the right>Scroll down to and click on OTA Updater>Clear Data>OK button
Don't open the OTA updater app for now, wait until the next release for your model. For now it will report an error if you do open it, about mismatch, safe to ignore this, same for all people.
