To begin with, if you are new to tanix world, you will need the “next generation” tools and ingredients to cook a nice crispy and savory version of your already outdated, wide thick TV box “breack”.

Get your ingredients within reach!

• Your favorite soft drink. No doubt! It’s the most important ingredient.
• The new firmware you want to install. You can get it clicking here.
• Your computer (wife’s or best friend one of yours) running on working Windows.

• Some expandable flour.
• USB to USB cable. Here is a complete guide of how to get one for free.

• Your TX5 Pro Tanix TV box to burn.
• And an insurance for cooking liability.

Walk-through 4 simple steps

1. Installing the burning tool
2. Loading the firmware image
3. Lauching!
4. Waiting for the click sound!

As you can see you only need 4 steps to get this done.

1. Installing the burning tool

Download, unzip (decompress) and install the burning tool. The installation process is very similar to any application you installed before. If you need a guide to know how to install it specifically. Please click here.

Subsequently, once the burning tool is ready for its use most probably, you will happen to see chinese characters. Look at the picutre below, as it’s shown, you must “glove” there to change to english.

2. Loading the firmware image

Hoping that you already downloaded your image, press there.

After clicking click on “Import image” option button effectively, you should see some “Open” window to find & choose the image file.

Search for the target image file to burn and Open!

3. Lauching!

The image file is loaded as I may assume. You should connect your box to your computer. Windows will need to detect the box. As you connect your tanix box to your computer, it should pop up a window (bottom right) to notify its drivers are ready. If windows can detect your box, hold on some few minutes and disconnect again.

Here is when things are getting interestingly wet.

Press START button! (to the right of the burning tool).

Take your USB cable, and plug one end to your PC.

Place your TV box close your computer where the USB can reach. You are going to use the USB port of the TV Box close to the SD card slot, just as shown in the picture. But wait!

Put the box stading up on one side facing its top to you as you seen just above.  Breath in, hold it back and … plug the power adapter cable and the USB cable end at the very same time!

If you did it succesfully you would hear several times a same sound, and see a blue bar increasing onto the right direction!

4. Waiting for the gong sound!

Like a kid with a new candy, you have been longing to have the new toy to work again. After the process is complete, you can go and take your Tanix back to real use and life.

Just unhook the power and USB cable, and hook up its required beloved HDMI cable, and outlet power cord back for taking a new ride into your new featured TX5 Pro firmware! 😀

Congrats!!
