hanke 2 Report post Posted May 12, 2021 Can't do it...if you do with a generic version, you could brick your device since the chip on the device most likely will not be compatible. Only way to know is if anyone else has taken that chance and got it working but a search of the web is your only option to find out. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Phill 0 Report post Posted May 12, 2021 I have an iptv sub but can't add the app to the box. Also can't install file linked app it will download but won't open. Any suggestions Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
hanke 2 Report post Posted May 13, 2021 Install ES file explorer and then you should be able to look at the files your downloaded and also should be able to install them from the ES file explorer after they are downloaded. The iptv app may not be compatible with your android version since most of them are using a much higher android version these days since mygica are using very old versions.

You just need to download the firmware here and follow the instructions: Edited December 18, 2021 by EdT586 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
EdT586 4 Report post Posted December 18, 2021 (edited) Becareful with any firmware updates on the MyGica ATV 495PRO HDR, ATV 495X HDR and ATV 495MAX as MyGica has not released an AML version of the firmware that can be used with the Amlogic USB Burning Tool if ever the SD Card version of the firmware bricks your box. The standard MyGica ATV 495PRO has both the SD Card and AML versions of the firmware released so that is a more safer box to flash.

This is the micro SD card firmware version: update_MyGica_ATV495X_wv_7.1_20171221_V1.0 1.0 You do not need a PC or laptop to do this firmware update ! 1. You need to get a Micro SD Card that is 1GB or more and format it to FAT32 2. Once you did that move the firmware file you downloaded on your PC to the micro SD card root directly (means not in any folder) 3. Making sure the box is not under power (Unplugged) Insert the micro SD Card into the TF card slot of your ATV 495PRO box 4. While simultaneously pressing down on the power button of your ATV 495PRO box plug in the power adapter and wait till the Android Recovery menu shows up and then you can release pressing the power button. 5. Then using the air mouse or regular PC mouse plugged into your ATV 495PRO box: Select "Apply update from EXT" in the Android Recovery Menu 6. "Update from Micro SDcard" 7. You should be able to see Android doing it's thing verifying and installing the firmware which should take about 5-6 minutes once it goes back to the MyGica launcher. Do not unplugged the power during or after the update for at least 10-15 minutes. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Yes, its the same procedure, just make sure you have the correct version of the firmware for the ATV 495X HDR listed below. MyGica put the wrong model numbers in their instruction, it was not me !
