Updating the firmware for your Android TV box is part blessing and part curse. On the one hand, firmware updates often give your Android box additional features or fix software bugs and help your device work better.
On the other hand, it’s often very difficult to find where to find the firmware for your particular box manufacturer.
If you’re having trouble finding the right firmware for your device, then you’ve come to the right place.
This article was created as the ultimate guide to finding the right firmware for your Android TV box. Here we list over 30 different manufacturers and provide links to take you directly to their official download pages.
Enjoy!

Beelink develops and manufactures their own line of Android TV boxes and mini-PC’s. In the past few years they’ve released several extremely popular TV box models including the BT3 and GT-King.
However, Beelink uses their official forum to distribute the latest firmware updates, so it can be difficult to find the updates for specific boxes. You can find a link to the Tools Download Forum here.

I’ve owned sex different Minix Android TV boxes over the years and they’ve always been one of my go-to manufacturers. They started rolling out OTA (Over The Air) firmware updates as far back as 2016, so the update process should be quick and easy.
