Thanks my bro you solved me a big mistake to not upgrade the firmware before Putting OnionOS. Hope you the best!
Apparently when before they ship the item to you, they give it the latest updated firmware! Thanks for the video as mine is already updated with same ver as in the video
What’s the firmware # you have? And did you install onion?
I just got the plus like a week ago so I’m curious what number you have
@@themindseye326 the same update as the guy has in the video. And I installed Onion OS afterwards
@@ezhumbug ok cool thanks believe that’s what I have as well just wanted to make sure so I don’t brick my shit by mistake lol
I can confirm this - had to find this video to confirm, mine shipped a month ago with newest firmware.
Hope you find this guide useful, I will be making more in the future. You usually need to do this firmware upgrade before changing the operating system on your Miyoo Mini Plus to Onion or MiniUI as a prerequisite. If you don't, certain functions might not work properly. A separate blank micro SD card is recommended for this process if you want to be absolutely safe with your own data but it is possible to use the micro SD card with all your data to perform the update (at your own risk).
Super clear tutorial.
Is there a changelog on what changed in 05/05 ?
Bro thank you!
thank you very much sir 🫡
I've accidentally upgraded to windows 11
I wonder why there is no sd card file on the website anymore. I need them and can't find. I've tried to install onion os on the current latest firmware and failed, now I just want to have something working on the device.
If someone already has put hours into a game on the stock firmware and OS and they decide to upgrade to onion 4.2. Will the upgrade delete their in-game save files?
So just to avoid mistakes: the use of an SD card formatted with Rufus on which we upload the file for the firmware update, is only used to update the firmware, right? If after this I put the SD card with the games back on I will find the same games but with the updated firmware, right? And if instead I loaded the firmware file onto the SD card with the games on it, would it still update everything or would I lose something? Thank you
Rufus will erase everything on your card, so it’s safer to use separate cards. The alternative is to have a full backup.
Your idea to have your old SD card with the new firmware is correct if you just set your old SD card aside for all of this process.
@@forthenext ok, so I will use an SD for the firmware update, and after that, I will insert back the originale sim card with the games on it, right?
does this firmware work for miyoo mini v2? i cant find any clear instruction on how to update my miyoo mini v2 firmware so i can install new Onion OS 4.2
Im currently on Firmware Version 0314
any help would be amazing!
What software is it supposed to be?
UPDATE*****GUYS!!! it didnt work for me first few tries then I swapped out with another charging cable and the Rocket showed up for me!!! WOO!!! (If you having problem, u may also try using a smaller sized tf card)
NO NEED FOR RUFUS
Upgrade tutorial
1. Copy the img image file to the root directory of the SD card
2. Keep the machine shut down and plug in the SD card with the copy
3. Plug in the USB charging cable, wait a few seconds, and the rocket will appear, representing the upgrade (the charging cable cannot be removed during the upgrade process).
4. Charging pattern will appear after upgrade (delete SD card img image file)
i have the 0505 already installed, can i not install Onion on it now? i have been trying to install Onion but it will not work
I believe Onion required a version earlier than 0505 so you should be good. I’ll make a tutorial on how to quickly install Onion soon.
It will not work if you use a plane SD-CARD without use Rufus. Must need to use Rufus to format your SD-card. Thanks!
mines just goes straight to the "Charging" screen. no rocket/update happening. i followed all the instructions from the video. any ideas?
Try holding the menu button while inserting or try a different micro SD card would be my suggestions. Good luck.

Are you still having this issue? Because I looked on forums for any solution and I've found it!
I dont know if you can help me, but my device just stuck on Miyoo splash screen forever. I didnt try to update it or anything, one day it just stuck there and i cant do anything to it. Tried to update it using your method and it just stuck in the Miyoo logo. tried to load it without SD card, still stuck at Miyoo logo.
Anything else i can do to recover the device?
You can try the following:
1. Prepare the micro SD card in the same way as the video above.
2. Make sure the handheld is turned off and insert the micro SD card.
3. Plug your USB-C cable into the handheld while holding the menu (middle) button.
Hopefully this might start the recovery process. Also you could try an earlier firmware from the website I linked.
@@forthenext hi, thanks for your reply! I tried that holding the menu button thing but its the same result. Indeed there are couple of firmware in miyoo website, and i have tried em all including the older version with a fix of blank screen.
Starting to think this is hardaware but its so weird because the screen is still on, just stuck on miyoo logo. I gave miyoo guys an email as well, im not sure if they will reply though ....
Good luck, it does sound weird. Possibly try removing the battery for 10 minutes as well?
@@forthenext unfortunately i tried that as well amd still no go. I got it from amazon and already outside of the return period. The seller kind enough to provide replacement but i do have to send it to germany since i got it from there, so lets see i guess. Im not sure sending device with battery over a mail will be easy but lets see
Am I good to put the sd card that came with the Miyoo, or do I transfer all my data onto the new one
If you want to do the upgrade described in the video above, use a brand new SD card and follow the instructions. Take care with your data!
@@forthenext Ok thanks
@@forthenext And also after I done the upgrade can i put my miyoo sd card back?
Yes, absolutely.
Not sure if a PC setting that’s on but that Rufus site will not load
The site looks down but you can still get the files from here: rufus.ie/downloads/
@@forthenext I was able to get it eventually. All set got onion installed and up and running. Question though, is there a way to quick save your game? And quick load? On the stock OS you could do it through hitting the menu button but now on onion it brings up game switcher
Followed all the steps but when plugged usb charger it didnt come up with a rocket symbol and firmware still 2022 intsead of 2023?
need help pls
I’m having the same problem
Plugging my miyoo in to charge doesn't seem to turn the device on. Any ideas?
The cable could be bad? I'm not sure, usually if something goes wrong, it can still load the OS.
@@forthenext yeah user error 🙄
it didnt work for me first few tries then I swapped out with another charging cable and the Rocket showed up for me!!! WOO!!! (If you having problem, u may also try using a smaller sized tf card)
that 'official' miyoo site you linked is sketchy asf
True, but the files are hosted on Google Drive so it should be virus free.
did the update and it bricked. it lived for like an hour maybe....
Sorry to hear that, as long as you are getting the backlight on it should be able to be recovered.
@@forthenext i actually got it recovered after trying for a couple times. Works like a charm now.
Glad to hear it.
@@kingdomofmagic9704how you recovered it?
No rocket...
didnt work for me
Might be an SD card issue.
