How to Flash the Update File on Your Projector (IMG File Method)

Flashing your projector using an IMG file is easy — no tech skills required! Just follow this step-by-step guide.

⚠️ Estimated time: 5–10 minutes

🧰 What you'll need:

STEP 1 — Format the USB Drive (Important!)

1. Plug the USB flash drive into your computer.
2. Format it as FAT32:
   • Windows: Right-click the USB → Format → Choose FAT32 → Start
   • Mac: Open Disk Utility → Erase → Format as MS-DOS (FAT)

STEP 2 — Transfer the Update Files

1. Unzip the update file you received (e.g. update.zip)
2. Copy the unzipped folder or file (usually named update or .img) directly into the USB root folder
3. Safely eject the USB drive from your computer

STEP 3 — Plug into the Projector

1. Make sure the projector is turned OFF and unplugged
2. Insert the USB drive into the projector’s USB port
3. Plug in the power cable and turn on the projector
4. Wait a few seconds — the indicator light will turn from red to blue
5. A progress bar should appear on screen indicating the update is in progress

STEP 4 — Let It Complete

• Wait until the progress bar reaches 100%
• Once completed, you may see a confirmation message or the projector may restart automatically
• ⚠️ Do not turn off or unplug the projector during this step

STEP 5 — Final Step

• Once the update is complete, unplug the projector and remove the USB drive
• Your projector is now successfully updated 🎉

❗ If You Don't See the Progress Bar:

• Ensure the USB is formatted correctly as FAT32
• Make sure the update folder or .img file is placed at the root of the USB (not inside another folder)
• Try another USB port or USB drive if necessary
