Upgrading your MXQ Pro 4K to Android 7.1.2 (Nougat) via SD card is a common way to fix "stuck on logo" issues or improve performance. Because these boxes use different processors (like Amlogic S905X or Rockchip RK3229), it is critical to match the firmware to your specific internal board. 1. Download Prerequisites

Final checklist before you start:

Q4: Will this remove Kodi or my IPTV settings?

Yes – a full flash wipes everything. Backup userdata via ADB or use a backup addon in Kodi.

Step 4: Flash the MXQ Pro 4K Box

1. Disconnect power from the MXQ Pro.
2. Insert the SD card into the box’s SD slot.
3. Connect the HDMI cable (to monitor TV).
4. Connect power – the box should boot into a blue/black update screen.
5. Wait 2–5 minutes. Do not unplug even if it reboots multiple times.
6. When the Android home screen appears, remove the SD card.

Step 6: Flashing Process

• The screen will show “Updating...” or a progress bar.
• Do not interrupt – this takes 3–7 minutes.
• The box may reboot once or twice.
• When finished, you’ll see the Android setup screen.
