I have to unplug and plug the box in about five times so that I can use it and then it tells me to update. While watching shows a notice will pop up telling me to update this is really frustrating. This has been going on since I bought the box about 4 months ago. you need to load 3 files to sd card I posted the video above write down all your server info because the fix resets the box as well https://mega.nz/folder/TIlUzZhR#vIOZKq43u3MS3Y3zoFHdkQ
October 10, 20224 yr So I have to do this every time there's an update? Why are other people are able to update?

October 17, 20223 yr I made my own card .the first time I had red light on . succeeded the second time and the box updated.
October 20, 20223 yr I have received my box back, updated to 20221011. The box appears to be working.
October 29, 20223 yr Finally got my other X5 to upgrade with the SD card !!! happy happy works perfect 🤩
November 5, 20223 yr I put the three files on an SD card when following the video instructions the light turns blue right away as soon as I release the button. Cannot get the box to update. Current firmware version v20220628

November 6, 20223 yr I formatted the SD card first. When I put the SD card into my computer all I see on it are three files that were downloaded. I do not see any folders. When following the instructions on how to use the SD card the procedure does not work. As I stated when I release the button the green light comes on immediately and the files do not download my box reverts back to the way it was. The SD card is one that I have used in the past in my cell phones. Maybe I should try a different SD card? Or a new one?

November 6, 20223 yr I downloaded the files onto the SB card according to the video what am I supposed to see when I look at the contents of the SD card? Edited November 6, 20223 yr by Djtank Clarity
November 6, 20223 yr If you go into file/browser on the X5 and you select the SD card, do you see the 3 files (without selecting any subfolder after choosing the card) ? I'm assuming you formatted the card using FAT32 ? Not NTFS or anything else ? If you do have another SD card, then it does not hurt to try another card. I have had some cards in the past which seem to work great for storing files and pictures, but no devices would be able to use them for recovery/boot type updates. Not saying that is the issue, but you mentioned that you have other cards, so why not try with another one.
November 6, 20223 yr Sorry I misunderstood some previous questions when I do what you just said I see a folder that says X5 boot card. Inside that folder are the three files that I was talking about Edited November 6, 20223 yr by Djtank
November 6, 20223 yr There is your problem 🙂 You downloaded all the files together from the mega.nz file instead of one at a time. Mega ZIPS up all the files and created a file called "X5 boot files.zip" which contains the 3 files. Try downloading the files one by one, and put them at the base/root of the SD card and you will be fine. I'd tell you to unzip the file or move the files, but not sure if you have just a single ZIP file and the browser if just opening the ZIP file to show you contents. OR if it has already been unzipped to a folder in root. Hence why I tell you to redownload them, one by one. Download the 2 tiny files first, and then download the one larger IMG file (since it takes a little longer). Edited November 6, 20223 yr by Emporium
November 6, 20223 yr What I did was I downloaded the zip file and then I unzipped the file and at that point moved the 3 files together to the SD card. Can I just move the unzipped files one by one onto the SD card?
November 6, 20223 yr I cannot tell you how thankful I am for all your help. Well yes I can thank you so much The instructions I got were to download them as a zip file so the video was incorrect that somebody sent me
