Mecool KM2 - Software Updates (Android 11)

by ShilanMistry

Hi Everyone,

I recently bought a couple of KM2's and i'm loving them so far but the only thing which the box won't allow is for me to upgrade to android 11. Does anyone know if there is an update coming soon and or if there's a way to update to android 11 from a usb stick?

Thanks 💙

You have to wait until the update becomes available

What do you mean that "the box won't allow" you to upgrade?

Did mecool provide you an update zip file that won't install?

Or did you just want to install some rom from another source?

For a box like the KM2, using unofficial firmware will often brick it.

The bootloader is encrypted specifically for this device. Other firmware would be different and not compatible.

You'd have to wait for an official update, which mecool generally doesn't do - unless it involves selling you another device. Generally, mecool devices will only ever have the frmware that they shipped with. There are exceptions, but they are very rare. Mecool doesn't want to pay bandwidth costs for ota updates. Even the very few updates they do provide on their website (for non-certified device) are hosted on mega.

Netflix doesn't work on it and I can't watch any free prime programs on it. It's garbage.

Has Mecool released an update to 11 for the KM2? The quick search I did showed it running 10. I didn't even find an official support page for the device which would list new firmware.

Also, I think it's running regular Android, not Android TV. If so, this is the Android TV sub so you should look elsewhere.
