friend was having issue with wifi every time she boots up her box and manually had to connect wifi. so I hard wire for her. I called her and made her update her box and removed ethernet cable. gave couple roboots and wifi gets connected instantly. good work formuler team.:)

[gotcha772]

i notice the z8 update is dependant on mol2 do z7 boxes have to make the same switch mol2 for firmware updates ? reason i ask is im still at 1.9.62 and dont see an update for 1.9.70 yet i was just wondering if we also have to change to the mol2 in order to update ?

[crazed 9.6]

'device or model dependent' is just a statement that defines the different firmware versions for these Formuler Z Series models (excluding the z8) and nothing to do with needing to install the MOL2

The Formuler boxes with the Firmware versions 2.8.70 (and earlier) are the Z-Nano, Z-Plus and Z-Prime models.
The Formuler boxes with the Firmware versions 1.2.70 (and earlier) are the Zx and the Z7+ models.

And the Z8 is different again and not the same Firmware at all.

The MOL2 is currently only available with the z8 models.

[gotcha772]

thanks for clearing that up for me crazed ..

*And also a new version of Update App released.
It is to solve the issue where some users can't see the new firmware thru the Update app.

This is only an update for the Update Application itself and not a Firmware or an IPTV (MOL) update.
You will see the updating process show 'Check Update v1.1.1' and then it should change to 'Check Update v2.0.0'

That is the Update app version, with v2.0.0 being the new update installed.

You may have to do the update twice in order to get the 2.0.0 version to load.

seems like theres new update available for z7+ (hot fix) :)

[crazed 9.6]

seems like theres new update available for z7+ (hot fix) :)

There was a HotFix release for the Z8/T3 a few days ago.
The Z8 will have an MOL2 version number that begins with 7 , with that latest HotFix release @ version 7.8.7
http://iptvtalk.net/showthread.php?40248-Formuler-Z8-Software-Updates&p=270730#post270730
Is this what you are referring to ?

I have not yet checked the other models yet, only had time to check the Z8 so far.
thnx :)

[crazed 9.6]

Ahh yes , you are absolutely correct Ryu
There was a HotFix release for these models.

there were some other developments too but I have not updated these threads. I did mention it in the forums to someone, I think it was zaang
Here is the thread about that --> http://iptvtalk.net/showthread.php?42809-T2-Prime-update-2-1-5-ver-1-2-97-Dreamonline-1-9-98-May-6-2020

The last shown here was that Beta release ...
Firmware Version : 2.8.97 or 1.2.97 BETA
MYTVOnline 1 : 1.9.97 BETA

Then came an Official Release of this same version with no changes from the Beta version...
Firmware Version : 2.8.98 or 1.2.98 Official
MYTVOnline 1 : 1.9.98 Official


And now we have a HotFix release from a couple weeks ago.
The Firmware has changes (HotFix), but the MOL had no changes since the last Official version of that 1.9.98

no worries boss :)
quick question, will z7+ have mol 2 as well?

[crazed 9.6]

no worries boss :)
quick question, will z7+ have mol 2 as well?

I am doubting that it will.
The Formuler team did mention that it might be a possibility in the future, and I saw that posted myself from a team member.
But since then they released the Z Alpha model, which is same as the Z8 but not quite the same (missing a few bells and whistles) and comes at a lower price tag as the Z8, but does come with the MOL2
So I think that was their answer to sharing that MOL2 onto other models.

I have asked about all this and only received an answer that said it is highly doubtful that the Z7+ will get an MOL2 update.

[Ryu]

thanks you very much for detailed response. :)

There has been 2 new updates released. But neither of them is an update for the box itself or the MOL
They are updates for the 'Remote App' and the other is an update direct for the 'BT-100'

These were released September 23
But you will not see them in your normal update menu(s).
Open the Market and scroll down to the Utilities/ETC category and there is where the Formuler Remote app can be found (v1.0.0-r78)
Install that and then you should see it trigger the Bt-100 update.



These 2 updates are for all Formuler receivers across the board and not just the Z8

Formuler Remote App Software Update
Version 1.0.0
Applicable models:
Formuler Z8, Z Alpha, Z+ Neo, Z7+, Zx series devices
