How to Update to Cross-MixOS 1.3.0 on the Trimui Smart Pro Game Console through the OTA?
We have noticed that many users are looking to update TrimUI Smart Pro CrossMix OS to version 1.3 but have encountered several issues. To assist with this, we have created a detailed tutorial blog and video (provided by RetroSpecd) to help guide you through the process.
Important Note: Version 1.3 is not compatible with the TrimUI Brick gaming console. Please do not attempt to update TrimUI Brick to this version to avoid any potential issues.
Latest Announcement: We plan to release CrossMix OS version 1.4 at the end of January. This update will skip version 1.3 and will be fully compatible with the TrimUI Brick. Stay tuned for more updates!
Trimui Smart Pro OTA updates are mainly divided into two update methods: wireless (that is, update through the OTA program on the game console) and manual (download the updated system files yourself). Below we will explain the specific operations of these two update methods.
Wireless update method (OTA program update on game console):
- 1. Make sure the machine is always connected to WiFi.
2. Click OTA Update to check if there is an available update.
3. If it shows that there is an available update, press A to confirm. (Note: Before confirming the update, make sure that the remaining space on the game console is greater than 5GB).
4. Click Confirm Update and wait for the update file to download.
5. After the update file is downloaded, select the application and choose to install.
6. After the installation is complete, the machine will restart.
7. After restarting, the option to continue will appear. Press A to continue.
8. After continuing, press and hold the power button and volume down button according to the instructions until the green bar appears on the screen to show the progress, then let go to let the installation continue.
9. Finally, wait for the machine to enter the system interface. After the machine enters the system interface, it means that the update has been completed.
OK, now that we have talked about wireless updates, some people like to update manually. Is that possible? Of course you can. Next, let's explain the manual update operation in detail.
Manual update method (download the update file yourself):
- 1. Turn off the device and remove the SD card.
2. Insert the SD card into the computer (make sure there is more than 5GB of available storage space in the SD card) and click the link (https://github.com/cizia64/CrossMix-OS/releases).
3. Enter the link to find Assets, click Assets, and download Crossmix-Os V1.3.0.zip.
4. After the download is complete, put the file in the root directory of the SD card.
5. After the file is put in, find the SD card "system" file and click to enter; then find "usr" and click to enter; after entering, you can see the "trimui" folder and click to enter; find "scripts" and click to enter.
6. After entering "scripts", find "crossmix-update.sh". Click to open with "notepad", find the location as shown in the picture and make changes (change to the name consistent with the version you updated, for example, if you updated Crossmix-Os V1.3.0.zip, add 1.3.0 at the end).
7. After the modification, click the "File" option in the upper left corner of notepad to save, and then close notepad
8. After the above operations are completed, remove the SD card, put it back into the game console and start the game console
9. After the game console pops up to prompt whether to install the update, choose to install (then just wait for the installation to complete)
10. After the installation is completed, the game console starts and enters the main interface, which means the installation is successful.
If there is a problem (the game console prompts an error message), you can use a patch to solve it
- 1. Click the link: CrossMixOS
2. After entering, find "Download it" as shown in the picture, click to download
3. After downloading, put it in the root directory of the SD card
4. After completion, remove the SD card and put back in the game console
