TVpad2 firmware upgrade from 3.70 to 3.80 officially released!


The TVpad2 firmware upgrade from 3.70 to 3.80 has been officially released. This firmware upgrade will remove the black borders when you are watching live TV.

Note: Do it at your own risk, I am not responsible if you brick your TVpad2. I have upgraded my TVpad2 without any problems.

How to upgrade from TVpad2 firmware version 3.70 to 3.80


1. If you would like to keep the apps you have installed, you need to follow this step. If you don't mind re-installing the apps, then skip this step. First, you need to download and install the following app in the apps store:  工具箱 (version 1.22). 


工具箱 (version 1.22)

After installing this app, open this app and connect an USB stick to your TVpad2. Go to 应用备份/还原 option (= App backup/restore option) and press "OK" on your remote control. After the apps have been backed up, you can now upgrade your firmware.

3. Put the downloaded firmware upgrade file in your USB stick (do not put the firmware in any folders). Then go to "Settings" in the main menu and then go to "Upgrade System". Press "OK" to upgrade your firmware.

4. After upgrading your firmware, you can stall the apps again. If you have followed step 1, then download and install the 工具箱 (version 1.22) app again in the apps store. 

Open this app and connect your USB stick (the same one from step 1) with your TVpad2. Go to 应用备份/还原 option (= App backup/restore option) and press "OK" on your remote control. Now, the apps will be restored.
