  1. 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.
  2. 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 👍
  3. Stickler are you sure it is bricked? I thought mine was too but it was the default display settings messing with the TV/HDMI cable. Unplugging the HDM cable temporarily fixed the display setting. After I thought it was bricked I reformatted the SD card to FAT32 and redownloaded a fresh copy of the ZIP file. Dump all the contents of the .ZIP file into the root of the SD card (there will be sub folders in there though along with a few files). When I attempted to upgrade the box a second time I did not see anything happening. Black screen. I just waited a safe amount of time, rebooted the box, and then temporarily pulled the HDMI cable and replugged it. This allowed the TV to adjust to the different display settings. After this I saw the box had booted and I went into the display settings and modified it. Everything is great now. The only complaint I have with the new version is that I don't have the STANDBY mode anymore. Just have the POWER OFF and REBOOT.
  4. I spoke too soon. I reformatted the SD card, redownloaded the file just for safety and reupdated the firmware. I ended up with a lot of noise on screen and pulled the power to reboot it. The TV image was freaking out and is why I assumed it was bricked (blinking image). I had to unplug the HDMI cable and replug it back in. From another post I saw Justin suggested this fix that I think applies: So far it looks like it working now. Very happy!
  5. Anyone got this to work? The instructions state to "Hold the Reset button at the back." I assume what they mean is hold the button at the top/front since there is nothing at the back. It did the install and now I have a bricked 495 PRO. I definitely followed this instruction: " DO NOT ATTEMPT TO UPGRADE TO 7.1 THROUGH THE OPERATING SYSTEM" The only thing I did different from the instructions is I held down the power button for 15 seconds to trigger the update after plugging in the power.
  6. Thanks for this. Much appreciated to have our boxes still supported! If we do have issues with this firmware is it possible to revert back to an old firmware?
