למה צריך להוריד לבד? המכשיר לא מאפשר עדכון ישירות מהרשת?
http://b2b.cqe.cz/soubory/20359/A500_UserManual.pdf

תודה רבה ...

התכוונתי לגרסאות BETA

[ziv_r]

תהליך התקנת גרסאות קושחה מסוג בטא\RC1:

1. יש לפרוס את ה- ZIP/RAR/7Z אל תוך Thumb Drive.
2. להכניס את ה- Thumb Drive אל אחד ממחברי ה- USB בסטרימר.
3. להוציא כל התקן USB אחר אשר מחובר לסטרימר.
4. לאתחל את הסטרימר.
5. לגשת אל Settings-->Maintenance-->Firmware Check

אם התהליך לא הצליח, תמתינו בסבלנות לגרסת הקושחה הרישמית אותה יהיה ניתן להתקין OTA.

[big27]

הסתדרתי , תודה
