OTA Update says New Rom V2 Cannot download ?? on a T8
- Thread starter Clive Kay
- Start date
Here's the reason why i asked about the purchase date.
If you bought your t8 before June 2015 you have to go through this rigmarole for the ota function to work correctly.
I went through it and everything worked ok.

I checked it and it was bought pre- JUne 2015.. I updated the firmware from the zip file I downloaded and put on a Memory chip .. That loaded and upgrded fine. It says nowthat I have V 1 of the ROm and that V2 is available. Says cant download it, but I noticed that quickly it flashed before that message that it cannot update and IOS 9 something ( too quick for me to see ) Obviously looking for a wrong file or the box thinks it is an Apple ???
So these are the instructions for applying the v2 update once you have installed the ota functionaliy via the instructions i provided earlier.
Are you using these?

The ios9 reference you may have seen may refer to a fix providing airplay support.

Hi Clive. I think if you've followed the instructions there is little more I can do to help so it is probably time to contact support at [email protected] or use the live chat icon on the main droidbox homepage. Provide your purchase details and give as much detail as possible.
Thanks for your help ... Odd really.. Looked at the 3 dots in the corner .. No reference to Wifi or Ethernet , just a list of downloaded Roms.. It just started to download ?? All done .. so weird.. I didn't wipe the data as I already have the Droidbox market and couldn't be bothered to re install the rubbish again !!
Could have been a temporary server blip. If others read this in the future, worth checking the free space on your device as well. ES File Explorer has an Analyst util in the TOOLS menu, old temporary files or anything huge should be removed/moved to external storage, re-try the update and hopefully there'll be space for the file.
Will I lose all my downloaded apps when I update?
Is this update really worthwhile? I'm thinking if it's not broke don't fix it

If you are referring to the t8 firmware release announced today.
You will certainly lose any Kodi Addons. I suspect apps from Google play as well. Whether you update it entirely down to your view on how valuable the new tweaks are having read the detail about them. If you don't then keep your current configuration.
According to the release notes "Please note that if you apply this update, you will need to reinstall any add-ons or skins you have installed in XBMC/Kodi/DBMC. If you do not want to do this, and are happy with your current firmware, there is NO need to apply this update"
