⭕【2 Ways to Update Your Projector Firmware】

⚠️Important Note: You will not be able to roll back to the previous firmware version once the update is completed.

 

 ✨Method 1 - Firmware Update by OTA

Note:

Your projector may indicate the Software is up to date even if the newer version is not installed. The software updates available for automatic download have staggered release dates and may not be immediately available following Google OTA schedule strategy (May last around 1 to 2 weeks). Please try again later. 
 
If you prefer to update immediately, you have to use the other way to upgrade firmware thru USB flash drive.
 

The recommended and easier way to finish the software updates is to use the System update method. And with the System update feature enabled, you will automatically receive a notification to update your projector.

The projector will automatically restart. Do not power it off during the entire upgrade process.

 

1) Press the projector remote control  (Settings) button or (Shortcut) button, and then select System.

 

2) Select About → System Update

 

3) Select Upgrade 

 

4) The projector will download, verify, and install the update package automatically

* Do not power off during update

 

5) Select OK to restart following the on-screen instructions

 

6) Check the updated software version

Please follow the previous Check the Software Version notes in the Preparation section to confirm the upgrade result.

  • If the version number is V0000.01.00E.Q0718 the software update was successful.

  • If the version number isn’t V0000.01.00E.Q0718, it’s recommended to upgrade the projector again.

⚠️ The prefix of the version number varies depending on the model; only the last four digits need to be confirmed

 

 

✨Method 2 - Firmware Update by USB Flash Drive

You can also update the software by using a USB flash drive if the Internet connection is not available for your projector or you don't want to wait for the update via the System update function.

 

Note: On very rare occasions, this method could potentially lead to partial data loss. We recommend backing up your important data as a precaution before using this method.

What you need: A computer with Internet access to download the firmware files and a FAT32 format USB flash drive.

  • Do not turn off the projector or disconnect it from power while it's updating.

  • Prepare a blank USB flash drive formatted in FAT32. Do not unplug the USB drive during the upgrade process.
