FUTEKO MINIMX. FIRMWARE. OPENELEC 7, KODI 16.1RC2. AMLINUXMEDIA. (10-MAR-2016)

IT IS IMPORTANT TO NOTE THAT WHILST IT IS VERY EASY TO INSTALL OPENELEC ON AN ANDROID MINIMX, GOING BACK TO ANDROID IS MORE COMPLICATED! IT INVOLVES USING A USB-A MALE TO USB-A MALE CABLE WITH A USB FLASH TOOL ON A WINDOWS PC.

IF YOU'RE NOT COMFORTABLE WITH THIS THEN WE WOULD ADVISE NOT TO INSTALL OPENELEC.

SEE HERE FOR INFO ON THE OPENELEC TO ANDROID INSTALL


http://amlinuxmedia.com/forum/

Changelog (unofficial):

1. Stability improvements
2. Update Kodi to 16.1RC2

IT IS ALSO POSSIBLE TO TEST THIS OPENELEC BUILD ON AN ANDROID MINIMX WITHOUT INSTALLING IT. SEE HERE: http://www.futeko.com/newforum/index.php?topic=638.0

Installation Instructions:

An update using this method will wipe everything on the box and restore to factory condition.

1. Extract the contents of the firmware archive (using an unzip app like 7zip, Winzip etc) to the root of a USB pen drive. (the USB pen drive should contain three files called 'recovery.img', 'OpenELEC......zip', factory_update_param.aml').
2. Insert the USB pen drive into any USB port of the MiniMX.
3. With the MiniMX power cable removed, use a paper clip or pen to press and hold the the pinhole restore button on the bottom of the MiniMX (on the base in one corner).
4. While keeping the restore button pressed, insert the power cable into the MiniMX.
5. Release the restore button after ~ 5 seconds.
6. The MiniMX will boot to an Android droid logo and proceed to upgrade the firmware.
7. The box will auto-reboot when finished.

DO NOT TURN OFF THE MINIMX DURING THE FIRMWARE INSTALL PROCESS.
