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

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).

Bro thank you!

thank you very much sir 🫡

Super clear tutorial. Is there a changelog on what changed in 05/05 ?

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?

What software is it supposed to be?

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!

I made a big mistake of updating the firmware before i installed the onion OS… is this the reason why all of my games have disappeared?

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.

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.

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)

Are you still having this issue? Because I looked on forums for any solution and I've found it!

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!

Am I good to put the sd card that came with the Miyoo, or do I transfer all my data onto the new one

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.

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.

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)
