[@BigFredddy68]

Hey what's up I did this to my ONN Box now when I turn It on It comes on say's Google TV then the screen goes Black how can I fix this or factory reset It without seeing? THANKS

[@notriggerschannel8911]

I got my USB drive but I don't have a computer. Is there any way I can convert to fat32 without a computer. I do have an Android smart phone. Thanks.

[@stevecohen7443]

@@BigFredddy68 Troy gave me these directions to do a Factory reset if you can't see the screen or move around... Hold down on the button on the back of the box and at the same time plug in power. Once the bios screen displays let go of the button immediately. Then click the button until it goes down to factory reset. Then when highlighting that long press the button, release and the box will do a factory reset.

[@JohnnyHughes1]

I was having issues after the latest update with sound disconnecting on my Chromecast 4k with GoogleTV. I decided to buy this device to test it and see how it performed in comparison. The picture quality of the Chromecast 4k (with Dolby Vision and not just HDR10) is far superior on my 4K TV. This device is not bad at all for the price.. But I am willing to reboot my Chromecast once or twice a day to reconnect sound than use this with HDR10 only. I will probably give this to my daughter.

[@83424rbonds]

You know this box has a sound issue..it too will lose sound if you let it time out on a pause after 20 mins...found out the damn timer is set to turn off at 20 mins and screen afters black..resume and no sound till you reboot nice eh??? Fix is reset timeout to hr or two... Screen still go black no lost sound.. So far so good on that front.

[@JustinThibodeaux-v3n]

Thank you for this. Got the 4k Pro and this tutorial worked flawless. Can't wait for your next video on the 4k Pro.

[@justincase8403]

You're the best Troy every time I get a new firestick or TV box I come to see what you're gonna tell me to do. I've been a loyal fan since before mobdro.... thank you so much for all that you do for us. You've saved me so much money and kept me flooded with content since I first found out about you. I have a serious question for you will we ever be lucky enough to have mobdo again. None of us even realized how spoiled we were when we had mobdro and the original cinema HD.

[@MyThaiParadise]

Bought one of these boxes and went through this install vid (EXCELLENT TUTORIAL, thanks!) but when I got to the Wolf Launcher, everything got hosed. Was able to hover over apps in the Wolf Launcher app, but couldn't select, completely non-responsive, setup key no longer worked, couldn't back out to previous Home screen, and no way out of the buggy app since it was my new Home screen. Ended up having to do a hard reset on the box and start all over. Considered trying it again but since it took me 30 or 40 minutes to get to that point, just to lose everything, I decided I could live without it. All good now, running great with Tivimate.

Troy as a newbie to ONN and streaming video services, your videos and resources are outstanding! Please keep making more ! UPDATE: Troy everything worked until I launched Wolf…for some reason, it doesn’t allow for any inputs once enabled - this happened on both devices I purchased, and have no idea how to hard reset the box without using the on screen settings - any thoughts?

Same just happened to me 😭

Hi Troy, just finishing up this video as I was curious about the ONN device. I have the Chromecast with google TV 4K instead, and was wondering if this tutorial will work with that? It seems like with a few minor differences in hardware specs, they are the same device when it comes to software and overall functionality.

[@charleyu5506]

I have a question for you, I own a hisense u6hf 4k tv and recently bought this device. I'm wondering if I should leave always HDR on in the "match content dynamic range" setting? I'm assuming that means that it will always try to upscale thing to 4k even if they aren't available in 4k, wouldn't that make things look bad?

[@erik5183]

The Wolf app does not allow the mouse pointer to select any programs (the mouse pointer app was properly set up -- step by step). I was in a difficult situation where my only viable option was a factory reset. I am using everything but Wolf now and life is good.

How did u do the factory reset?

[@kevinj8258]

Agree. Wolf may not be the best tool at this point. There are other launchers

Also got buttons remapped, and soon I will add a browser and adblocker. This thing rocks!!

Love this video as about to open up my new ONN Google TV box and get it supercharged! Thanks! One question. Does anyone know how to stop this device from auto-updating the firmware/system?

About how much total space do you get after de-bloating ?!

[@johnb6969]

Two questions: 1) Is a Google account absolutely needed to set up the Android Box? I know it is needed if you want to use the playstore, but it one didn't want to use it? 2) In regards to adding extra storage, the video showed how to add storage for apps. With the Firestick you showed how to add a thumb drive and partition it so that 50% goes to apps and 50% for file storage. I use file storage for video storage. Can this be done as well with the .onn?

[@troypoint]

Hi John, yes you need to sign into Google to do setup. I'm sure after that you could remove your Google account through Settings / Account & Sign In. Regarding your second question, I would personally just get a USB hub and plug two USB drives in rather than messing with ADB commands to split the storage.

Try pausing your boxes and wait 10 or 15 mins and resume the content to see if your sound works. Best fix for now if you must pause go to the home screen. I must add I was watching KZbin tv at the time I paused it. Next time I will force stop youtube tv and see if sound is back on...
