New Firmware for Ugoos AM6 Family from 25.09.24

Android 9 Firmware V.0.5.4n

  • add new ddr chip models support

Has anyone tried this?

And for developers: Does CoreElec use any information from the android image? Is DDR4 not already supported by the previous version?

it came with new AM6B+ batches, nothing have changed in the firmware, I do run slimBOXtv on Android as it offers Android TV compared to Ugoos firmware.

4

I bought mine in Aug 2024. I’m safe to assume I have old batch of production so no need to update?

5

I bought mine also August 2024 and got 0.5.4n, no need to update even if you’re on 0.5.4, even the slimBOXtv is based on 0.5.4. :slight_smile:

Know if it’s still possible to install slimBOXtv if one’s unit already has dual-boot CE/Android set-up?

Thankyou for this.

Iam still Testing Ugoos on external

Now have firmware incase brick ,or other, return to Ugoos from Slimbox

You will have to use the Amlogic USB burning tool, and it will completely replace your existing OS.

Probably best to use CoreELEC Tool ceemmc -x

Use option
Make copy of CoreELEC
Then Tool again abd remove CoreELEC

Now flash away at your leisure

Do you think that is necessary to do that?

11

That’s the process i always use.

Better safe than sorry

Then can use tool again
Reinstall saved CoreELEC to internal Dualboot

Wont miss a beat

Never thought about it. Good idea… thanks

Hello, I have a recently purchased ugoos am6b+ and I can’t install slimbox, the logo remains blocked on the screen. It has fw 5.4n revision b, I have both encrypted and unencrypted.

14

This is CE forum.
Better ask at XDA forum, slimbox isn´t CE

15

slimBOXtv needs to update the base as it uses the older and won’t work on some newer AM6B+, I bought mine in august 2024 and could install the encrypted version.

16

thank you…

17

but you can still get the Android TV layout if you flash this through TWRP recovery, so you need to get TWRP installed.

Did anyone tried to use ceemmc with firmware 0.5.4n? My AM6B+ came with this firmware and when I try to run ceemmc (on -ng) I get this error:

CoreELEC:~ # ceemmc -x

Starting CoreELEC eMMC installation tool...

System is not supported: g12b_s922x_ugoos_am6b!

There is NO official support by Team CoreELEC
if you continue to run this tool!
Continue? [y]: y

eMMC size: 0x000747c00000 [32GB]
Partition '/dev/reserved' does not exist!
Failed to read original partition table!

I guess there are some partition layout changes in this firmware version?

edit: Well, forget what I wrote. Now it works. Didn’t change anything. Weird…
