all went fine

Just updated and lost bt function on my bt400 remote, says "connecting" at the smart remote app. I tried factory resetting the remote and it won't pair using the add bt device.

I held the info button for 4 sec until the ""pair your Bluetooth remote" screen poped up and did the home+enter and it just says "status: scanning" 

The remote is set in front of the box about 1ft away when doing all this. 

I can't use my x5 now

[Anglishplz]

I got it, I had to hold home + enter for at least 30 seconds and not 4 seconds as the manual states.

[Japcorp]

Updated for the first time after the fix I used to update me to 20220811 and it updated perfectly in about 7 minutes.

you don't need to hold them that long

you just need to wait for the remote to show up in top right corner

fyi I never use the buttons I just add accessory and bt-400 shows up in top right corner

[Anglishplz]

I had the same trouble when I set it up for the first time but couldnt remember how i got it to pair. mine must be a lemon. I HAVE to hold it for at least 30 second's

Mine will not pair through the add remote/accessory

if it's already listed in remotes/accessories but not showing connected or battery level unpair it first

[Emporium]

Update installed without an issue and all working as expected. 

 

[Anglishplz]

Now my remote is randomly unpairing itself and defaults to IR mode. I did unpair before trying to pair it again. Battery shows 95% before it unpairs itself

[Tato]

Micro SD card to 811, then OTA for 919.
Both went smoothly and quickly on my X5.  

[Jonas]

Time shift error message appears and never goes off until I restart the box. That is something I have noticed after the new update. 

I'm still observing other issues I have noticed. Will share soon

[Jonas]

You can see that even after exiting live TV the message stays on for a long time. 

Sometimes I wait several minutes for it to disappear or I have to restart the box for it to go off

Is there a way to get this update if you don't have a computer?

[Emporium]

Everyone should be able to get this via standard OTA update.

Only time this would not come through is if you have the 20220624 firmware.  In that case, there is no option but to use a microSD card and some way to transfer the files to the microSD card (PC is the easiest, but other methods could work also) to upgrade from 0624.

 

[PapaS]

Thanks @Emporiumfor that info. Unfortunately that 0624 is my current firmware and don't have a computer I'm wondering if I don't update, will my box become toast eventually for not updating?

[PapaS]
