I hate asking such a simple question but I’m not sure what else to do. I need to update the remote control on my Onn TV 4K box and I have no clue how to do it. I’ve looked through all of the menu options and nothing pops out that says “update remote”. I did a YouTube and Google search for it and found nothing. I did a search here and found nothing. I know it’s going to be something stupidly easily that I’m just missing but I still need to ask because I’m just not seeing anything.
Hey @benseac Like Miki stated…the update was a patch dated 2022-02-05 focusing on remote glitches. One way to dbl check if you got the patch is to download the app AIDA64 from the app store, open it & scroll down to Android in the left side column…click on that & the security patch should be the 3rd line down if you got it. Couple of other things…if it’s there but you’re still getting “update remote” popups…try unpairing & pull the batteries for 15 seconds & then pair again…if the popup still comes up then (depending on how convenient if would be for you) maybe consider a factory reset & start all over. Note: pairing can also be redone by pressing the small button on the box…release when a pairing prompt comes up, as I believe it also can be used for factory resets. GL2U
My ONN remote randomly stopped working. I changed batteries and still cant get past the pairing screen because no buttons work. It could be dead and unrelated to this, but maybe it is related and is a common issue.
Copy…let us know if/when anything worked or not…ONN box problems/fixes are pretty popular here, & I’ve not seen your particular issue come up before…same with @AMD237 problem.
If you’re not using the original home launcher then you have to disable your installed launcher . Once you’re back on the original home screen you will see a bubble notification on the home screen that says " update remote" click on it . Once it’s done you can go back and enable your preferred launcher in the Launcher app settings . Good luck .

Press and hold the small button on the side of your onn box where the led light is. After a few seconds the remote pairing screen will appear. Good luck.
