Hi I need firmware extracted from transpeed h6 using phoenixsuite

Kim

Hello. If we don’t have published (use our search) then we don’t have it 🙁
Ask your shop, they must share with you the firmware download link.
Share the link to help others.

Omer

Thanks for ur reply they share latest version. I am unable to flash it. It is missing with boot partition all the ROM so need it with partition information

Kim

Just use the IMG file with a PC and a USB cable.

As to your shop for another firmware.
If don’t work open a dispute with your shop.

sak

Why make this so complicated and not make a zip file of the img? Most of us are gettting into recovery and can flash the ROM via it.

Kim

Explain this to X96 if you can.

andres

I started the update process and the screen just turn green and I can’t do anything, I tried to go to the recovery menu but nothing works

IMAGINARS

Can i just simply copy the zip file in I}USB and Update through Manual Update in existing Android 7 ? Using X96 mini

Kim

No.
Use the IMG file, read the manual.

Max

Thanks

Kim

Impossible to know, it’s a lottery.

vinko

Can this firmware on this model having the same features just not be mini X96 Amlogic S905W 2GB RAM 16GB ROM

Hass

Kim

abdou

Alro

I have the version with 4Gb Ram and 32Gb storage memory. Does it compatible ? Thanks by advance

Kim

This model don’t have 4gb version

Alro
Kim

First time i see a s905w with 4gb of ram, curious.

Alro

Happy to have an exotic box :-). Do you think it is a good idea to do the update ?

semmy

ciao, sei riuscito a trovare il firmware per la versione 4gb ram e 32 gb rom? io dovrei far l’aggiornamento perchè si blocca alla schermata di avvio. Grazie

P3pp8

Just to let you know, i’ve purchased a 1,99€ cable from Amazon and flashed the firmware following the instructions shown on this site and everything has gone fine! Thanx!

Kim

Great, enjoy.

P3pp8

SDCard method using Burn Card Maker. USB card is ok, tested several types. Always get into the recovery menu.

Kim

Use the PC method. You don’t need to see anything in the screen.

P3pp8

Yes but is more unsafe, i’m scared of bricking my device. And also i’ve to buy the right USB2.0 cable type A to type A… I think i don’t have any other chance, probably my sd cards aren’t compatible with the device and have to use the PC method. Thanx for the answer!

Kim

If you flash the right firmware the boxes don’t brick using sd or PC.

P3pp8

Yes! I’ve the x96 mini 2/16, exactly the same shown on this article, i think the IMG file of Android 9 firmware linked to the article should be the right one to flash, by now i’ve the 7.1.2 installed on the device.
I was a bit scare because i’ve recognized that no one yet has installed it. Anyway i’ll try to updated it and hope that everything will go smoothly!. Thanx for the support!!! UR N°1

luke

Hello P3pp8
Did you try this firmware? I’m having 7.1.2 as well and there isn’t any reply from sb who made successfully update. Please share is it stable and did you try update.

patrick13

if i understand this file is OK FOR UPDATE DIRECTLY on tv with app update backup
its not necessary to unzip

Kim

If inside the zip you have a IMG file you need a PC connect o create a special SD.
