For me I had to make 2 adjustments in Display settings for the HDMI to work properly. 1) I manually set the resolution 2) If I recall I had to set the setting "Color Depth Setting" to off. I guess these settings all depend on your TV and you may have to play with them. Mine is an old Samsung non-smart TV.

And now upgraded to 7.1 😀 Props to the Support guys involved in working to resolve this. Started off bumpy and you folks came through. QV, give it a bash. I hope it works (follow bineredondat's instructions in the comments).

After 2 attempts, successfully unbricked the unit. Thanks to the Tech Support guys on here. It is appreciated.

It worked! My bricked 495PRO is back to Lollipop. Kudos to MyGica support. Also, thanks for including USB Burning Tool (UBT) in the download package. There's lots of versions floating around so it's great that you provided a functional copy (v2.0.6.2) along with the img file. Your instructions show a different version but I can confirm that v2.0.6.2 worked fine. As noted, no NAND pin shorting was required (whew!) so there's no need to open the box, however, I had to use the USB port other than the one indicated in the instructions. That is, I had to plug my cable into the "front" USB port closest to the SD card slot. Also, in my case, I didn't have to hold down the power button. The 495PRO was immediately recognized by UBT when the USB was plugged in. The other USB port (towards the back) did not work with UBT regardless if the power button was held (or not) when the power was applied. Perhaps there have been minor hardware tweaks during the 495PRO's life cycle? Anyway, thanks again MyGica! I appreciate the responsive customer support. QV

Hopefully this helps people that had a messed up upgrade. They were very kind to upgrade the software for us instead of the usual "planned obsolescence" of most android devices. I have recommended MyGica to several other friends and will continue to do so. Cheers guys 👍
