Hello. I bought a KM6 smart box 2 years ago. The device was out of warranty 1 year ago. Now there is a problem “can’t load Android system… QTT2.200903.001/V.4 20201026”. Resetting settings or rebooting doesn’t help. I plan to flash the device using USB_Burning_Tool, please tell me where I can find the firmware file and installation instructions.
Additional question. In the previous firmware, there was a problem that voice recording from the remote control did not work 90% of the time. Maybe it is possible to fix it with a new firmware?
