X7 wifi and bluetooth disabled after updating
- Thread starter pitorro
- Start date
@Shottie - OK, as it is a B351-BT , please use the firmware linked to here - http://droidboxforums.com/threads/b351_bt-devices-only.59/
No label because it is an iMX6, not an X7 
First, let's cover the basics, I'm assuming you've turned off and on both your modem/router and the iMX6?
If so, head to the WiFi section in Android's Settings menu, long click on your home's WiFi network, and select forget.
Now click on it again, obviously you'll need to re-enter the password.
Fingers crossed you'll be fine now.

ok, I went to the wifi section but it is turned off and I cannot turn it on it just goes back to off after I have selected it again, so cannot even forget about the network.
any other ideas please?
Rob, OK, can you repeat the flashing procedure, but use this firmware instead please - DBX_18042014_OTA_.zip . If that doesn't work, send us an e-mail ( [email protected] ) with your original order ID, eBay/Amazon account name, and a link to your post ( https://droidboxforums.com/posts/200 ), so we don't repeat ourselves.

Hi, im having the same issue whereby the wifi will not turn on. Do you have the latest firmware for a X7 to fix this issue please??
@Rob H - Flashing procedure - see the area this thread is in, Firmware Upgrade Instructions for X7 & X7 Ultimate Devices is the thread you need. The file linked to in that thread is for AC8350 and EK311 versions of the X7.
@Andrew Wilson - See the thread above if your X7 says AC8350 on the bottom.

@Rob H - sorry, I again saw this post in the X7 section, and forgot you'd mentioned you had an iMX6.
Return to the forum's main page. Click on the Android iMX6 section, then click on the Firmware Upgrade Instructions for iMX6 Devices thread.

Hya, I followed your instructions. The box would not let me run the file from bootup, therefore I ran when prompted on the home screen. It said it was successful however we now have a new homescreen and everything but the box now keeps crashing all the time?!?
I also followed the instructions, I pressed down on the av slot until I heard a click and then waited for the Android recovery menu appear when I applied power to but it did not happen. I tried also 'upgrade' from the 'all apps' android icon and then selected local file and then the .zip file (on usb stick) and it said to install and reboot click ok and it reset and still the same screen?
But not sure if I am supposed to select the 'DroidBOX_1.1.5_220514_preinstall.zip' to install? or do I need to unzip that too? confused.com

@Rob H You had the right file. We have had a few customers having issues with that release. Can you try https://www.dropbox.com/s/8kfznto58e8879n/DBX_18042014_OTA_.zip instead, and when you have a moment, let me know how it goes? If that one works (same procedure, unzip the files inside it to a USB device etc etc) I think I'll roll back the official recommendation to the April version. Thanks for your patience so far.
I tried this but the Droidbox just boots up the same without going into a different menu?
I'm holding a cocktail stick in the AV port when it powers up but don't get the different menu ?
Also there are now 2 zip files to run (when I use the above link) and when I go into 'upgrade' in the all apps folder I've ran both of them but still does not make any difference?
Yours frustrated!
With the cocktail stick in the AV socket, push it in very slowly at first. If the room is quiet enough you should be able to hear (and feel) a slight click after initial resistance. If you can't hear/feel this click, then the switch isn't being held down.
The preinstall.zip file can be ignored if you upgrade via the Recovery Menu. I'm not certain whether it is processed by the Android Upgrade/Update application.
If you have problems with the process, send an e-mail ( [email protected] ) with a link ( https://droidboxforums.com/posts/303 ), your original eBay/Amazon order ID and account name, and we'll sort the device in our office.

Hi im still having great issues with my box. Ive ran the update from the main screen as it will not run from bootup, now the box constantly keeps hanging, crashing and rebooting. I also tried to reset using the cocktail stick as advised and cocktail stick just disappears inside the box as there is nothing behind the AV socket. Can you please advise what to do next? Thanks.
