This step-by-step tutorial will show you How to Manually Update Android TV Box to the latest software in 5 minutes or less.
Android TV Boxes have become some of the most popular streaming devices on the market today.
There are numerous variations that users can choose from to stream Movies, TV Shows, Live TV, and more.
Oftentimes, Stock Android Boxes do not automatically update to the latest firmware which forces users to manually install them.

We can easily do this by downloading the update from the developer’s official website and installing on our device.
In this tutorial, we provide screenshot instructions as well as a video guide that provides important details.
The following guide shows how to update Android TV Box manually using a MECOOL KM2.
However, this process is similar for any generic Android Box including X96 Max and more.

IMPORTANT NOTE: Updating generic Android TV devices oftentimes requires a factory reset of the device.
Make sure to back up your data including Movies, TV Shows, Photos, and more to a USB drive so you don’t lose your media.
Official Android TV devices such as NVIDIA SHIELD, Chromecast with Google TV, and more typically do not factory reset when installing an update.
