EMINENT EM7680 Firmware Recovery by Micro SD Card Instructions

EMINENT EM7680 Firmware Recovery by Micro SD Card

Introduction

This installation manual guides you to recover your EM7680 to earlier version LibreELEC 9.2.5 firmware. Use the following steps to correctly install the firmware.
Please note: After this installation your player will be restored to factory default and so all data will be erased.

 Installing the firmware

1. Download the firmware and save the firmware.
   EM7680_LibreELEC-Eminent.arm-EM7680-9.2.5_software.zip

2.  Unpack the firmware. The following four files will be unpacked:

   • LibreELEC-Eminent.arm-EM7680-9.2.5-update.zip
   • dtb.img
   • factory_update_param.aml
   • recovery.img

3.  Copy these files in the root of a FAT32 formatted Micro-SD card.

4.  Make sure the streamer is switched to Off with the On/Off button at the backside of the streamer. Now you can insert the Micro-SD card into the Micro-SD slot at the backside of the streamer. ( the Micro-SD slot is located at the backside of the streamer beneath the HDMI port ).

5. Make sure you have a paperclip ready to use. With the paperclip, push the reset pin at the backside of the streamer and make sure you do not release the paperclip.

6. Turn the streamer back to “On” and hold the reset button for around 10 seconds.

7. You may now release the reset pin.

8.  The streamer will automatically proceed with the installation. There will now appear a blue progress bar. Do not interrupt this procedure!

9. The installation procedure is completed when the blue bar disappears.

10. The streamer will reboot and start with the new version.

Remark

1.  Remark: There is a possibility that some DVD-ISO files including a DVD menu, will not play. For these DVD-ISO files that will not play we advise a convert tool to convert the DVD-ISO file to MKV, for example like Make MKV. This way will the file be converted to MKV and so can be played without any problems.
2. Some older HDMI 1.1/1.2 televisions may not show the progress bar. In that case, you need to wait until the media player restarts. The firmware installation process will take about 5 minutes.
3.  Micro SD cards larger than 32 GB cannot be formatted as FAT32 under Windows. The TV streamer only recognizes FAT32 formatted micro-SD cards. If your SD -card is not FAT32 formatted, you can find free programs online such as “FAT32 Format” that can format your SD card FAT32 so you will be able to perform the update.
