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
@@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.
I ordered two ONN boxes. I got them today. I hope Amazon is watching. Maybe Amazon will stop messing around with trying to block and cluttering up their interface. Thanks to Troy for his awesome videos.
Thank you so much. I bought this box simply to run 1 app for my security cameras. But after dozens of tutorials about adding the app nothing seems to work for me. I was just about to give up and buy a dedicated tablet but your tutorial has given me new hope.
Thank you so much, Troy. I literally got the rest of my components (OTG cable, flash drive) delivered 10 minutes ago. Gonna be a fun afternoon getting this supercharged!
As an ex firestick owner(still have few) and new to Onn device you'd just help me a lot to get oriented, and as always thanks to your effort to help others!! Also your store apps are awesome, thanks for sharing it. Much regards.🙏
I bought the ONN Google TV box and am supercharging it as a plan B for the Firestick nonsense that seems to be coming. Thanks for your videos, but especially this one!

Fantastic Video! I saw this one a few weeks ago and used it today to set up my new Onn box. You covered everything thoroughly and succinctly. Thank you so much...!
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.
I tried a Rii i8+ mini Bluetooth keyboard with touchpad. Many of the buttons don’t work. I also tried an Ipazzport mini Bluetooth keyboard with touchpad, and it was similar. They’re not playing nice. What Bluetooth or 2.4ghz mini keyboards do you recommend with the Onn?
I had to reset my old ONN 4K AndroidTV box. Do you still have the old video on how to program that one? I know it's a little bit different from this one.
When you go to install the mouse toggle, there's a warning that it doesn't work well with the new Onn box. I can install the toggle, mouse mode works. But the scroll mode will not.
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.
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.
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.
Yes this would be great with an option to change the boot screen and get rid of that "walmart" updating firmware branding, you find out how let me know lol
Hi, there was a good video, but I was only allowed to download Wolf Launcher. I tried to download the other apps several times, but I no success can you help and advice thank you
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.
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.
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?
Wolf may not be the best LAUNCHER. Please read more on other options. After testing it's not WOLF, it's actually the LAUNCH MANAGER that will seriously mess up your ONN device.
Troy, you said "hit and miss". I just bought a 64GB San Disk 3.0 flasher, did the "Large Fat 32" on Rufus and I must be on the "miss" side because under Storage I see "Total Space" 59GB but "Not Connected". So my question if I can get an answer is how to get it connected??? ...🤔🤔🤔
I've followed this video but I'm unable to get the box to recognize the flash drive. It's 32 gig and formatted as fat32. It does appear that I bought the otg cable that was linked in your previous onn box tutorial. Don't know if that would be the issue or not.
Troy (or anyone else) which of theses should I adjust if the pointer is moving to fast? It takes me like 5 min of up and down, left or right to get on the button I want to click on. Window Animation Scale, Transition Animation Scale or Animator duration scale (if any of them)?
followed the great video after I rebooted in to wolf launcher, I could highlight and select an app, but nothing launched. Is this a known issue? Did I miss a step that prevents apps from launching? Otherwise the box is great replacement for fire stick for sure. - pressed on NETFLIX button on remote - it said no network and opened WiFi settings for me. i was able to connect to wi-fi but still unable to launch applications. Since it was now connected to network, i was able to press voice and open settings --> apps --> launcher --> fixed back to Google Launch and now it all works again.
If it does that all you have to do is press voice assistant and say "settings" and then go force stop wolf launcher and manager, clear cache and then set it for Wolf reopen up wolf launcher and it'll work for you.
Hey Troy, I'm having issues with the USB otg cable - in Developer, under USB Cnfiguration it is set to "charging" - pretty sure it should be on a different option (MTP, PTP, RNDIS, Midi). I'm thinking it should be MTP? Any suggestions? TIA
Thanks Salvatore, you can't change it to just Android TV. It already has Android TV and you can think of Google TV as the user interface. I would suggest using a 3rd party launcher.
The UA-cam app won't allow sign in and doesn't work with the shortcut button. Tried uninstalling/reinstalling updates to no avail. Any suggestions? Thanks Troy.
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? As the popularity of this device flourishes, it's likely to start getting Amazonesque and foisting reduced ability to customize it, along with shovelling ads to it. I'd like to future proof this baby once set up and prevent updates from ruining things. Thanks for any insight.
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?
I have Tivimate working on 3 fire sticks with no problems, but I can't seem to get the playlists to load. I've tried the same URL I used for the fire sticks but I just can't get it to work on the 4K Onn. Am I missing something?
I uninstalled Tivimate and reinstalled, entered my xtream url and it's now working perfectly. Don't know what I did wrong but it's all good now. Troy and Troypoint are awesome and I've got so much useful info and really appreciate all your hard work.
Does this newer version of the ONN 4K box still utilize micro USB? Please tell me they've graduated to USB-C. I'd rather use a USB-C hub than an OTG device.
I tried to follow this video, but my settings don't have the same settings in your video, and I can't do alot of the settings changes :( .. Is there a way I can update the firmware?
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?
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.
@@troypoint what sucks is after the latest firmware update - no you cannot remove your account once its added without the device wanting to factory reset and delete everything you just installed, before, you could remove it and it would reset to basic mode with apps still installed hopefully this isnt the beginning of the end....we need a way around this ....eeek
If it hasnt been asked already, are you able to run CinemaHD on this onn device? I want to buy one but i need CinemaHD as its my mose used app on my firesticks.
Nice video tutorial. I'm having issue with USB 3.0 Gigabit Ethernet LAN RJ45 1000Mbps Network Adapter 3-USB Port HUB PC Mac to connect same box Onn streaming box. Can you tell me witch you recommend..??
If you’d had success with an external SSD drive with your ONN streaming box, can you please comment below with the brand of that hard drive as well as the size? Sometimes the brand makes a big difference whether or not it will work at all, and your input will save people a lot of hunting around. Thank you.
Great content as always brother, My only issue on this box is that the screen is getting cut out on corners for 3rd party apps and you tube without a Calibrate display % option like the Firesticks have. Is there a solution for this? Happened on two of my Tvs
Question: I have been using Kodi media streamer for many years on FireSticks and Nvidia I could keep all my units in sync by simply copying the .kodi data files and copy/paste into the Android/Data file on the new install. Have them up and running without much of an issue. On the Onn Google TV os android 12, I cannot view or operate on any files under Android/data. .It is the data files I wish to replace with any of my file managers, I use X-plore and others they all are being restricted. Says I do not have an application that allows this operation. I tried all my various file managers and all are a no go. So It appears Google TV with Android OS 12 at the moment is not allowing this feature. Major issue to me, as this was the easy way to keep all my units in sync. Anyone have a idea how to overcome this lack of operation on the Onn Google TV OS 12 which I just picked up today. Thanks in advance
I followed up perfectly until Launch Manger. It never fully loaded, now I'm unable to get it back to the original UI. I tried rebooting . It powers up, then screen goes black and will not respond to remote. Any suggestions??
@troypoint ok so i followed your video tutorial on how to super charge the4 onn android tv and was using 2 usb drives one of them worked but the toher didnt how do i fix this issue?

How is it different than the old onn TV box from last year?
Better processor, better WiFi, Google TV added, can expand internal storage without ADB commands, faster system altogether.
Question: I have been using Kodi media streamer for many years on FireSticks and Nvidia I could keep all my units in sync by simply copying the .kodi data files and copy/paste into the Android/Data file on the new install. Have them up and running without much of an issue. On the Onn Google TV os android 12, I cannot view or operate on any files under Android/data. .It is the data files I wish to replace with any of my file managers, I use X-plore and others they all are being restricted. Says I do not have an application that allows this operation. I tried all my various file managers and all are a no go. So It appears Google TV with Android OS 12 at the moment is not allowing this feature. Major issue to me, as this was the easy way to keep all my units in sync. Anyone have a idea how to overcome this lack of operation on the Onn Google TV OS 12 which I just picked up today. Thanks in advance
Does a factory reset put the device back exactly where it when I bought it?
Yes but if you updated firmware, it will retain that.
Hi I just purchased today onn box and I am following the instructions and in the playstore won't find Downloader app to download any help.thanks
I followed up perfectly until Launch Manger. It never fully loaded, now I'm unable to get it back to the original UI. I tried rebooting . It powers up, then screen goes black and will not respond to remote. Any suggestions??
Same problem for me 😭
Do u fix this problem how?
Do a full reset. As instructed
I'm in the same boat. Can't do a full reset because you the remote is not 4esponding to the keyless to get into settings
Same problem haven't found a fix yet

Is it true that many tv boxes like this one, come with pre-installed malware? 🤔
