April 5, 20242 yr Author I tried it again an eureka. It is doing the new updates. Whew. Thanks for the help.
April 5, 20242 yr Author Although I'm not sure it actually did anything. It is downloading an update then it reboots and I'm still on August of 2023 version 5.0.775. Thoughts?
April 5, 20242 yr Author Yeah that's what I'm doing but nothing is changing. Maybe it's that far behind it's just taking multiple times. Idk. I'll update here if I get it current or not.

Thoughts? The August 2023 is good (V20230815) for the firmware (at least that is what I also have on both my X5 128AI, and X5 64AX-C). But the 5.0.775 they will send you an OTA like DU mentioned (I believe 5.0.919 is the latest public version). You'll probably have to send them the MAC of your box (include it in the email you send them). Leave the box on for a while. A buddy of mine who had an X5 in a box since launch was having issues getting it up and running recently. He brought me it, I updated the firmware (which would download but kept failing to install) and that took no problem, but the latest Buzz software was only pushed to his box about 30 minutes later. Don't know if it was just coincidence or OTA server was offline or something else, but you got nothing to lose.
April 6, 20242 yr Author OK, I'll try leaving it on for a good while before sending it to them. Since it's wiped anyway I need to put all my iptv stuff on it and that takes time setting up favorites. This is a Monday problem now.
April 6, 20242 yr Author That is how all this came to light. I bought a new X5 for my mom to use. I set it up and saw new features, then saw the version was different than mine. Her X5 has lots of cool new features I want. LOL
April 6, 20242 yr after update you might have to give few reboot before it will kick in latest update. recently HD5 I reset for friend and was not updating to latest buzz app version. after few try it kicked in. maybe you can try that too. Edited April 6, 20242 yr by Ryu

LOL did you email them? after you get the update you will get all future updates give them your mac and tell them what version you currently have
April 6, 20242 yr 9 minutes ago, ThrasherPrime said: Yes, they want me to send it in to be manually refreshed. But that was when you needed a firmware update, no ? But now you are already on the V20230815 firmware, so it is just a software update which they can surely push via OTA. Did you tell them that firmware is now up to date, and it is only the software version that needs to be updated ?
April 6, 20242 yr 27 minutes ago, ThrasherPrime said: I did not. I will let them know that. Thank you. that's why I said email mac to them
April 6, 20242 yr Author Good deal. Appreciate it. I sent that info along. I'm leaving the box on all night too and maybe it will be updated in the morning.

April 6, 20242 yr Author Here is what I have going on. The person from their help area that wanted me to send now says I'm good. But the software version is wrong. I still think the firmware is wrong. See attached photos.
April 6, 20242 yr Author I asked them if they can force the software via OTA and I'm waiting on a reply. I also sent the screen shots (again) circling were it states current version. The OTA says there is an available update, of which I download, install and reboot and nothing changes. WTF.
April 6, 20242 yr True.. But I don't think the firmware update took. Maybe downloaded (hence the release notes), but it did not actually install. Considering the box is back up and running, I would not probably do a PIN method factory reset one more time. This would clear all cache and prep for latest update.
