This firmware is for the DroidBOX iMXQpro v2, based on the Amlogic S905X chipset.

The 1st firmware was released March 2017, the 2nd July 2017.

They are not for ANY other model, even if it also has iMXQpro in the name.

If you own an iMXQpro v1.2 or other non-v2 device, do not use these files, they will not work and could damage your machine.

It may be compatible with devices from other manufacturers, but we can not take responsibility for any damage done. You are welcome to try, however if your box does not boot up, it will be your responsibility.

Do not flash these files if you do not know which device you have.

and copy the ZIP file (no extraction of the archive please) to a microSD memory card. The card should have a FAT or FAT32 partition.
If you find you are copying multiple files and folders, instead of one large ZIP file then please right click the download link at the top of this thread, and select Save As. You should now find you are downloading the ZIP file, rather than opening the archive.

Turn your DroidBOX off and insert the microSD memory card into the slot.

Hold down the recessed switch hidden at the back of the AV port. A paper clip or sturdy cocktail stick should be fine). Please don't release the switch for quite a while.

Turn the DroidBOX on, and keep the hidden switch held down for a good 15/20 seconds. If Android's Recovery Menu appears before then, you can release the switch.

Click on the option that mentions updating from EXT.
This time, click the entry that mentions SDCARD.
Finally, click on the ZIP you downloaded

Once the process completes, select the Factory Reset/Wipe Data option and confirm you want to carry out this operation.

Once completed, select the Reboot option.

The first time you boot may take longer than usual. Once you can see the Android launcher homescreen, please leave the device alone for 20 minutes. Do not reboot or power off during this time. Applications continue to install in the background and if interrupted will not resume the next time you boot up.
