Methods to Upgrading via TF card:

- Copy the zip update package into the root directory of a micro SD card in the X5 (or root directory of the X5's internal storage). In the case of putting into the microSD card, it is recommended to format the card to FAT32 or NTFS
- With the SD card in the X5, turn on the X5 in Android mode and select "Technical support"->”Firmware Update” ->Local Upgrade - > external_sd (or internal_sd if you put the file in internal storage) and select the zip update package. The following dialog appears:
- After clicking "OK", wait patiently and do not operate the X5. The X5 will automatically restart and enter firmware update mode.
- After the firmware upgrade is complete, the X5 will restart again in normal android mode for use.

Notes and precautions:

- If attempting upgrade using SD card, the SD card should be formatted in FAT32 or NTFS; if upgrade fails, try using a card of 32GB capacity or under, format it using the X5 (back up data on the card first), copy the zip update package file inside again and attempt upgrade again.
- If attempting upgrade using internal memory, there needs to be adequate free space (preferably over 1GB); copy the zip update package to the internal storage and select "internal_sd" for the upgrade.
- Do not push the X5's buttons while the upgrade is in progress.

About Music Player Updates:

In case your device has encountered various problems that this release can fix, or if the same release comes to add certain features that you can make use of, then you should definitely take into account upgrading.

Usually, to do that, you must get the downloadable file (unpack it if necessary) and transfer it to the player through any available method, and start the upgrade process from the device's setup menu.

However, given the large variety of music players and the many ways to enter update mode, it would be best if you read the product's installation guide and initiate this task only when you have familiarized yourself with the steps.

To apply this firmware, take into account all the aspects mentioned above, hit the download button and update your music player. In addition to that, make sure you constantly check with our website to stay “updated one minute ago.”
