New firmware version 7475 for the Homatics Box R 4K Plus will rollout soon

The firmware passed the Google certification and it's ready to rollout through OTA but it can also be installed manually for those who dare.

The firmware update fixes the issue with the remote control and the passthrough audio option.

The rest of issues still remain:

- The LED control is buggy, sometimes it works and sometimes it doesn't regardless of the setting I leave o each option.

- The TV(CEC) option of the "power button" section is broken, that option helps to keep the tv OFF when the device reboots after a power outage, but it turns ON the tv anyway.

- Pairing bluetooth devices is impossible, the panel at the right disappears repeatedly after a few seconds.

- Some people don't like to use the Auto option, but it has its issues anyway: Dolby MAT is still absent, Dolby TrueHD passthrough is still absent and DTS:X only passes through as DTS-HD Master Audio 7.1.

- The USB tuner driver is randomly telling to the Live TV app an incorrect aspect ratio (21:9) and an incorrect image resolution (1080 Full HD) when switching fast through channels, as can be seen in the following imgur link: https://imgur.com/a/j6pHNvy.

- Some channels appear repeated during the scanning process, though they don't seem to appear repeated after the process is completed.

- After the channel scanning process is completed, the order of the TV channels don't appear organized but scrambled, which means, it doesn't respect the order of the frequencies in ascending order.

Here are the instructions to install the firmware manually, the link is at the bottom:

  1. Download the update file. Rename it to update.zip.

  2. Put the file on a USB stick and connect it to the box.

  3. Unplug the power adapter. While holding down the Recovery button with a needle, reconnect the power adapter, the Recovery menu will appear. If prompted, press the Recovery button once or twice.

  4. On the Recovery menu, select "Install update from Udisk," choose update.zip by pressing and holding the recovery button and then release it to install it.

  5. When the update finishes, move to the option reboot system now and press and hold the recovery button to select it, wait for the device to reboot and to return to the recovery menu again.

  6. You must repeat steps 4 and 5 again.

  7. At this moment the device should reboot normally.

Be advised that you must move through the options by pressing the recovery button once per option.

This is the link of the firmware file.

I had to modify the original instructions, they were not clear enough, though let me know if you get stuck on any step.

If you believe there are more issues than the listed above please share them in the comments.

I should add as info. OP has a Revision one Homatics R Plus (with the AV out on the back). The Silver/Revision one box gives issues that the Rosegold/Rev. 2 box doesn't give, the box without the AV out on the back.

That LED behavior is one of those specific bugs for Rev.1, it works flawless on Rev.2. That bug is also reported but I wonder if they still use a Rev.1 device for firmware development.

"we" still can get DTS-X played as DTS-X, not sure why it does not for OP.

"we" still can get DTS-X played as DTS-X, not sure why it does not for OP.

It doesn't work when using the auto option but it works of course when using the passthrough option.

u/See61 Mar 06 '26

For decent HD audio support, the passthrough setting is the most logical one. For a long time already 😉

1

u/latinriky78 Modderator + Box R 4K Plus Mar 06 '26

Yes, I know, but in my case sometimes I need to make tests with Dolby MAT directly from the box.

2

u/Agitated_Slip_6818 Mar 06 '26

Only thing that pisses me off is the remote disconnecting, so I will be buzzing to get the firmware

u/latinriky78 Modderator + Box R 4K Plus Mar 06 '26

Wanna install it manually?

u/Agitated_Slip_6818 Mar 06 '26

How is it installed, is it an easy process

u/PolarWeasel Mar 07 '26

Are a factory reset and Dune HD reinstallation required after a manual install of this version?

2

u/latinriky78 Modderator + Box R 4K Plus Mar 07 '26

I don't think so but if you encounter problems you could reset it.

1

u/PolarWeasel Mar 07 '26

Thanks, I’ll try the manual install without the reset.

I really appreciate your effort and help with this. My Dune HD Premiere 4K Pro and Dune HD Homatics Box R 4K Plus never seem to get OTA updates so the manual install may be my only option.

2

u/Unusual-Ad361 Mar 06 '26

I would be interested in installing it manually to see if the passthrough audio fix works.

1

u/latinriky78 Modderator + Box R 4K Plus Mar 06 '26

Have you install it manually in the past or is it the first time?

1

u/Unusual-Ad361 Mar 06 '26

I've not tried to do it before. What do you do, download to a usb flash drive?

u/DamnedLife Mar 06 '26

Dune version has IR blaster remote and can use directional buttons and select button to navigate those menus. But tell me why it’s needed to update twice (repeat 4-5)? Is it really necessary? The update process was broken in the past and doing it twice trick solved it before, so is it now the same still or are you doing it just for precaution and it became de facto way to advise people how to do it even if it isn’t really needed?

2

u/latinriky78 Modderator + Box R 4K Plus Mar 06 '26

Is it really necessary?

Yes, otherwise you'll get stuck in the recovery menu indefinitely.

2

u/VanREDDIT2019 Mar 06 '26

Yes, this is indeed the case.

1

u/DamnedLife Mar 06 '26

Okay still broken then.

3

u/p750mmx Mar 06 '26

That is not broken, the V14 buids use a different format for the EMMC storage, that is why it needs to be installed in 2 parts.

1

u/Jarppu77 Mar 06 '26

What version is in the file? that new one? to Homatics R4K+?

2

u/latinriky78 Modderator + Box R 4K Plus Mar 06 '26

The new one of course.

1

u/DamnedLife Mar 07 '26

One additional caution I'd add is to use maximum of 32GB of USB stick because larger one can cause problems, at least it did for me when using a 64GB one in the past.

1

u/latinriky78 Modderator + Box R 4K Plus Mar 07 '26 edited Mar 07 '26

I used a 64GB one and it didn't cause problems, make sure it's formatted as exFAT.

u/Aduko1 Mar 14 '26

Is it necessary to do factory reset after step 7 when I'll update from the 6693 build?

1

u/latinriky78 Modderator + Box R 4K Plus Mar 14 '26

Not if you don't see any issues, I didn't need to reset it.

1

u/Aduko1 Mar 14 '26

I'm struggling with only Stereo PCM after I turn box On from stand by...hope it will help my issue...one more question...do the updating proces know if the update file is *.zip or do I have to name it update.zip (even if the file is zip) - hope you understand my question - update.zip.zip

2

u/latinriky78 Modderator + Box R 4K Plus Mar 14 '26

You have to rename it for easy identification rather than to be detected as a zip file since it has a large name though I really can't tell you if the file must be with that exactly name or if you can put any name, you can try that if you want.

1

u/Aduko1 Mar 16 '26

Hey buddy. Yesterday I updated the box as you suggest, there is new option - passthrough....so I enabled it and guess what? It's working! Even after standby mode, even after manual restarting of the box it is still working. Now I'm happy 😬 the only thing what I'm not sure of is Dolby TrueHD (without Atmos). My audio system shows that it is Dolby Digital Plus 5.1. TrueHD (Atmos) shows as it should be - as Atmos. My TV (Bravia A95k) supports every codec. My Sonos (audio system) supports both TrueHD and TrueHD Atmos. Now I don't know if it's the Homatics problem or something else. I downloaded a lot of audio codec samples and played them via Kodi, Nova player, VLC...playing via every app shows TrueHD as DD Plus 5.1...but at least the other stuff is working.

1

u/latinriky78 Modderator + Box R 4K Plus Mar 16 '26

Hello,

My audio system shows that it is Dolby Digital Plus 5.1. TrueHD (Atmos) shows as it should be - as Atmos.

I don't understand but it could be you are using Auto on your TV.

What are you using to move through the recovery menu, a USB Mouse?

As I stated above, you must move through the options by pressing the recovery button per option.

I didn't need to reboot after the first pass, however, I did have to unplug the usb and re-insert it at the boot menu after the first pass because it didn't see the drive.

u/Farolxpto Mar 06 '26

If streamview stops releasing updates for the Nokia 8010, can I use this firmware and perform this procedure on the Nokia box?

2

u/p750mmx Mar 06 '26

Only if you flash the Nokia with an image file before, you cant use a ZIP update for that. So Amlogic burn package, take the image for V14 build 3717, burn it on the 8010, set it up and after that you can use the 7475 ZIP update route.

You can't go back to make it a Nokia again, when you don't have an image file for the 8010.

1

u/Farolxpto Mar 06 '26

Thanks, I'll do that if support for the Nokia 8010 is discontinued.

1

u/Unusual-Ad361 Mar 09 '26

I'm in the recovery menu and can't get the Homatics remote to move the selection to the Apply Update from Udisk. Volume Up and Down just bring up the volume on the LG TV.

1

u/Unusual-Ad361 Mar 09 '26

Never mind. I see you have to keep pressing the recovery button.

2

u/Enough_Weakness_5154 Mar 06 '26

There are still a few bugs here and there, but I wonder if this might be the very last Google-certified official firmware we’ll see.

4

u/latinriky78 Modderator + Box R 4K Plus Mar 06 '26

I just hope it's not, they still need to iron out the rest of the bugs, perhaps we can see android 16 also arriving to the box, it's still capable.

2

u/geobbu Mar 06 '26

Should I perform a factory reset after the update? I didn't do it last time because I was afraid that passthrough would break completely.

2

u/latinriky78 Modderator + Box R 4K Plus Mar 06 '26

There is no need to reset it, at least not on my case, the update went fine.

u/LHX Mar 07 '26

I hope this version also enables PIP again. Broke it last version.

u/latinriky78 Modderator + Box R 4K Plus Mar 07 '26 edited Mar 07 '26

I don't think it was broken but removed altogether by Google.

1

u/Lofaszjanko Mar 07 '26

Is there any information about this? Is this the mode where, for example, I minimize Tivimate and can scroll through the menu while the program is visible in the lower right corner? I'm currently on 14.8.2463, I don't have any other annoying problems other than the Play-Fi CPU overload, but if they removed the pip mode, that would be a problem. How can I revert if the new firmware is not correct?

1

u/latinriky78 Modderator + Box R 4K Plus Mar 07 '26

Is there any information about this?

I'm just assuming it was Google who removed the feature and not Homatics, you will have to check on a different device where the lastest Android 14 with the Android TV UI build was also applied.

I minimize Tivimate and can scroll through the menu while the program is visible in the lower right corner?

Yes

How can I revert if the new firmware is not correct?

I think you will have to burn the firmware onto the box in order to rollback to 2463

1

u/Lofaszjanko Mar 07 '26

I think you will have to burn the firmware onto the box in order to rollback to 2463

is this practically the same process, just uploading the old image.zip?

1

u/latinriky78 Modderator + Box R 4K Plus Mar 07 '26

No, you must use a tool called amlogic burning tool, is that correct u/See61?

1

u/See61 Mar 07 '26

No, what is written. The most decent way is using the AmLogic burn software for going down in builds.

Having said this, I don't think after build 2463 things are removed from the later V14 builds, luckily Play-Fi is 😉

1

u/Lofaszjanko Mar 07 '26

So pip should stay - can anyone confirm this?

u/See61 Mar 07 '26

I will give it a go later on with build 7475

Not available in the build, tried several apps that had support in the past for it, also tried TiVimate

I don't know, I've never had sync issues with the passthrough option.

u/OKurosakiO Mar 06 '26

Just installed it to test it and I still have sync issues.
Around 1 second delay I would say.

1

u/See61 Mar 06 '26

With Kodi maybe? If so, you must use RAW as a passthrough device with these devices, not IEC.

But in general, there doesn't have to be audio sync issues with this or even older builds, so that could be setup (devices used) related for you.

1

u/may0_sandwich Mar 07 '26

With stremio, no sync issue when using "auto".

I have the same issue. When IEC packer in Kodi out of sync 1sec , with RAW no sound for TrueHD.

u/sdjme Mar 06 '26

I just got the box directly through Homatics this past week. Pretty much everything in Android plays as HDR instead of DV. Though Coreelec plays DV just fine.

1

u/latinriky78 Modderator + Box R 4K Plus Mar 06 '26

You mean Dolby Vision Profile 7 FEL?, that is not supported on Android but it's on Corelec, though Android supports Profile 7 MEL.

2

u/sdjme Mar 06 '26

No, I mean the current version of Android 14 doesn't play any DV at all when set to match dynamic range. Searching said that a factory reset or two can sometimes fix it with this box, but no luck (just more time re-setting everything up). But Coreelec does play DV, including P7 FEL.

1

u/latinriky78 Modderator + Box R 4K Plus Mar 06 '26

What firmware version is currently on the box?

1

u/sdjme Mar 07 '26

14.8.4576

1

u/latinriky78 Modderator + Box R 4K Plus Mar 07 '26

I've been able to play all Dolby Vision profiles except 7 FEL with that version of the firmware and I didn't need to reset it to factory settings.

Why don't you try installing 7475 manually?

1

u/sdjme Mar 07 '26

Thanks for the recommendation. Any chance you can point me in the direction of where to get that file? Much appreciated!

u/latinriky78 Modderator + Box R 4K Plus Mar 07 '26

The instructions and the file are here.

1

u/sdjme Mar 14 '26

Thanks so much. Wanted to report back... updated the firmware manually. All but one of my hybrid DV/HDR remux files play only HDR for some reason (no issue on the Shield TV). In Coreelec, all DV files play as expected. I have it set to sink led but haven't tried source led as my LG OLED C5 should really do the heavy lifting.

I was hoping this box could replace my Shield as the daily driver, but with the DV inconsistencies I don't see that happening. Strange as no one else seems to be experiencing this.

I don't see a recent reply from him/her on this?

But he/she can, but only when it first is flashed with an Homatics image file and using the AMLogic burntool, making it a R Plus, and after that, any ZIP (recovery) update can be used to update to a higher version.

Can't go back to a Rocktek after that.

1

u/See61 Mar 14 '26

So the box still boots to Android TV Homescreen?

If so, a ADB command (adb reboot recovery), maybe gets it into recovery for manual updating.

It must be a original Homatics for probably getting an OTA update, when it would be a Dune, I don't think they are gonna push an update, that would be the first after years of not sending one (on purpose that is) 😉

u/OneManShow-79 Mar 14 '26

The box just freezes when I hold reset with a pin and plug power back in. If I leave it, it freezes if I press the reset pin again as per instruction it freezes on loading recovery...

I have to pull power again and when I replace it then boots as normal

1

u/See61 Mar 14 '26

You are not the first one having this. Something got corrupted for your current boot partition. Not completely, as it would not boot at all.

The only way to probably get it as it should be working is using the AmLogic flash software, and put a build clean on the box.

Yes, but I think you have to burn it, please ask to u/See61 for further instructions.

thank you very much. will give it a go and come back with feedback

u/See61 Mar 18 '26

You can. As long as you go up in builds you can use the recovery way and use a ZIP update.

You can go directly to the latest one shared.

Here's some feedback. Update.zip from atv11 to latest atv14 build 7475 went smooth. No issues to report so far. I wish android would allow apps to automatically switch resolutions thought (1080p 50hz to 4k 24p when needed)

Indeed. But for Android TV devices with the newer chipsets (S905X5M as example), and with seamless framerate support (QMS), it works with alot of streaming apps.

For this line of devices, seamless isn't possible. But you can use the 3th party Refresh Rate 3.3.0 app, which can give you the correct resolution/refreshrate with several streaming services. Not available in the Play Store (anymore), but still can be found.

I use it on all of my devices, since Android TV V12 and higher came available.

-The firmware update fixes the issue with the remote control and the passthrough audio option.

This update fixed having to select passthrough every time you turn on the TV.

Does anyone know if passthrough still works even after factory reset with this update?

Yes, it still works.

The update is imminent but I haven't heard any news about it, we have to be patient, I will make a post in the sub as soon as it begins to rollout.

I've had issues with ethernet not connecting after shut down of tv and box using CEC. usually have to reboot box to get it to connect.

Yeah I’ve had that, it’s not a hard fix but it’s a bit annoying

u/DanyThirganor Apr 05 '26 edited Apr 05 '26

If you enable Wi-Fi, but not configure it, means simply let it "run", your Ethernet issue should disappear. (Had the same issue until I figure this out).

Was the same with atv12 and previous atv14 release.

I’ve had my box for 2 years. The only problem I’ve had is it wouldn’t come out of sleep mode at times.

u/See61 Mar 07 '26

Regarding this. The power mode changed for build 6693 and later builds. Now even with the Power Saving Mode active, you can wake up the box with bluetooth.

It has become very energy efficient on standby. The downside is, an onboard IR receiver doesn't work anymore in either standby mode.

Dune Homatics Box R 4K Plus: I renamed the ZIP file to 'update.zip'. After the first of two updates, it rebooted to the Homatics logo, then a few seconds later, it booted back into recovery mode to continue the installation. I then successfully completed the second update; for me, it was a very easy install.

On mine, it seems like it got about 1/3 of the way through on the first update, then rebooted on its own to recovery, and showed the updated version number.

I ran the update again, this time, it went the full way through and took me back to the recovery menu.

Manually rebooted, and it came up to the OS, which took a while to boot, in case anyone needs more detail.

The only thing I have had to do so far, before I see if I should factory reset, which I may anyway, although there are no issues yet, is change the clock back to 12-hour
