1. Download the file onto a computer
Then transfer it onto a USB drive or SD card
Then insert into box

2. Use reset button inside AV hole on the back of your 3900 to get into recovery mode on first time boot. 

You will need to use a Tooth Pick or Paper Clip or something similar to do this.

3. 
Once in recovery
Go to 
Apply update from ext

Select Udisk which is USBDrive or SD Card depending on which one you have the Firmware on

4.Highlight the Firmware
Press Ok to install it

It will take up to 8 mins to install

5. Once finished 
Select reboot

6. It will boot back into Android and everything is normal and nothing is erased

I tried this. After the install and reboot it it is still going back to the boot menu.

Is it something to do with what I tried yesterday after the issue? Tried clearing partition and cache options; is that something to do with it?

try formatting your micro sd card , put the firmware back on the card. re-try the steps again. if you clear partitions you will erase everything off your box .if its continue to go back to boot menu it means you missing a step. If you continue to have problems please send back or drop off at our warehouse www.buzztv.com/rma

 

Thank You!

XPL3000 Basic (1GB) uses the same firmware as XPL3000.  So the method on this thread will work on your box.

However we recommend for XPL3000 Basic (1GB) to use Android 6 downgrade for better performance. This can be done by mailing the box or dropping it off at our location www.buzztv.com/rma 

 

When I try and open this file it says the disk image file is corrupt.

that means you didn't download the file fully, you need to delete your file and redownload the file again.

This fix worked with me. The reset is a bit tricky. You have to look (with a toothpick) on the reset micro-switch in the AV hole. It it a bit towards the top. 

I had no issue after that.

Unable to locate reset button inside of av hole.  I tried with paper clip, without any success.  Please help, I have xpl 3900.  Freezes during start up when buzztv logo first comes up during boot up.

hello i'm able to get into recovery mode but for some reason i cannot toggle up or down on my usb remote. how did you guys navigate through this part to select "apply update from EXT"?

Dont think the usb remote would work in recovery mode

You have another remote?

Edited by nbs.

unfortunately form me the box only came with a usb remote. just wondering what other remote could be used to get this done?
