[Remix Mini General] good4y0u:
It looks like I can no longer access jides support site for this device. Luckily I backed it up as a PDF and downloaded the files to do this.

Some notes before we get started:

I do not take any liability for if you mess up your device in any way or if it does not work. I will be attaching the files directly to this post when I have a file host set up. This will include the original PDF prints of the support site as well as the files I downloaded when I did this on my personal device to get from a unstable test release to the stable Google apps supported version of the OS.

I use the device as a media center, and smartlink hub. It links to a file server that stores my media.

You will need the male USB to male USB cable. I will also update with the link to the one I bought on Amazon that worked for me .

Here is the plain text copy pasted from the PDF for now:

How to manually update Remix Mini?

If your Remix Mini is stuck at 'Remix OS' logo and you can press F2

command to get into the recovery mode, then you need to manually

flash Remix OS ROM file onto the device by following the instructions

below.

In doing so, you will need the following:

1. USB 2.0 thumbstick drive formatted to FAT-32

2. Remix OS Installation Package (available at

https://www.dropbox.com/s/7zu4bo90jldf651/full_rm1g-ota-2.0.807-

5.1-B2017030801-signed.zip?dl=0)

Step-by-Step Instructions:

1. Download the USB flash package (please don't extract) to any

standard USB 2.0 thumbstick.

2. Insert the USB into Remix Mini and restart it.

3. Press the F2 key to enter Remix Mini's BIOS Setup process before

the Remix logo is being displayed.

4. Choose “apply update from usbhost storage”.

5. Choose Remix OS Installation Package and Press the Enter key.

6. Choose ‘“reboot system now” while Remix OS has been installed.

If your Remix Mini is stuck at 'Jide' logo and the F2 command doesn't

work, then you need to try out the tutorial below.

You’ll need the following:

A Windows PC

PhoenixSuit, a flashing tool that allows you to manually flash

Remix OS onto your Remix Mini (available

at http://bit.ly/2fUBmgu)

Remix OS img file (available at http://bit.ly/2gfL1CG)

ADB tool (available at http://adbdriver.com)

A USB-USB cable

A straightened paper clip or a SIM card eject tool

Step-by-Step Instructions:

1. Install the ADB tool

2. Double click on PhoenixSuit_EN.V1.0.8.msi to get the installation

started. You will be guided through their installation instructions.

3. After the installation finishes, you can run PhoenixSuit by double-

clicking the PhoenixSuit icon on the desktop.

4. Click ‘Firmware’ to enter the firmware flashing interface.

5. Click ‘Image’ to select the Remix OS img file.

6. Connect your Remix Mini to a power supply.

7. Connect your Remix Mini to the PC via a USB-USB cable. NOTE: The

cable must be plugged into the top USB port.

8. Insert a straightened paperclip or a SIM eject tool into the reset port

found in the back of your Remix Mini.

9. Once you feel the paperclip or eject tool hit a ‘wall’, you’ll need to keep

pushing and maintain it’s position while re-plugging the power adapter

into your Remix Mini until PhoenixSuit starts the flashing process.

10. In some cases, PhoenixSuit will give you an error message.

However, please check the display that your Remix Mini is connected

to. If you see the Remix OS logo boot up, your flash process was most

likely successful.

11. Bon Voyage!

*Please do not disconnect your Remix Mini when the flash process is

going on.

**Please keep your HDMI cable connected during the entire process so

you can see if flashing Remix OS was successful.
