Minix Neo U1

i went to buy it in Digital Mall... i asked the retailer if they could update the firmware to the latest version just released 006 ..they say they cant do that ...so i didnt buy it yet

So i wondering which FW is actually in the box and will i be able to do it myself ..they dont know..

On the Minix site it says can update to 006 using the OTA IF version 005 is already in the box

What happens if say only 002 or 003 is in the box when i buy it ..do i have to go through each update one by one or just straight to 006? how difficult is it ? Can use OTA? dry.gif confused.gif

Sorry if this has been answered before.

Thanks.

Here, do some light reading and familiarize yourself with the process.. It's fairly easy and you'll end up performing flashes yourself anyway.. Can't depend on sellers to upgrade firmwares for you.. If the device ends up bricked? Will you still accept responsibility and pay? Buy the U1, check firmware version, if lower than FW005 (20160129), then flash it and OTA update to FW006, else OTA to 006. This only has to be done once...

Ok many thanks for the info.i will look through that again.

Am i correct in thinking if it comes with FW 002/3/4 then i could also just use the OTA for each yearly update...one by one..maybe simpler for me ?

i'm using xp on my 9 year old lap top..not even sure if i can do the flash thingy's.. not too confident to try that just yet. (i don't even have a smartphone lol!) if the sellers not to confident to do any upgrade it makes me think twice .
