I am asking purely out of curiosity.
After uploading the new version, has anything improved in the performance of this decoder?
If, yes, what?

I am using 2 different versions of the Wiwa H265 and when checking the versions it came out that the software and HW are different but they look identical.

>>21319163 I am not asking about the software version displayed, but what has improved in the operation of this decoder, after the update.

Hello,
Does anyone have the latest software update for the Wiwa H265Pro?
I currently have one
SW Version: V5.2.1.47 May 12 2022
HW Version: 2.1.RC20.4.3UU

Latest software for Wiwa H265Pro
HW version:2.1.RC20.4.3UU

Hello,
The latest original software for WIWA H265 Mini Led

in attachment I send software files - upgrade_MINI_LED_V5.2.1.95.bin

Restore factory settings before and after the upgrade.

So we start with:

- press the "menu" button on the remote control.
- select the "System" tab (cogwheel)
- select "Restore factory settings"
- password: 000000

Then:

- press the "menu" button on the remote control.
- select the "System" tab (cogwheel)
- select "Software update" -> "Update via USB"

Once the update is complete, the decoder will reset itself. Restore
factory settings again.

I'm just going to step in because I see that my colleague's question has been left unanswered....
What is changing?

Sometimes the manufacturer will introduce bug fixes that everyone hasn't noticed.
This is also sometimes the case. i have 2 pieces to update, but for now i am not taking any chances - they have 2020 and 2021 soft, but different hardware versions.

Rather, it must be some insignificant changes.
E.g. version V5.2.1.56 had "Youtube optimisation".
And besides, why this software (V5.2.1.95) cannot be downloaded directly via the decoder over WI-FI.

And the Wiwa H265 without add-ons is which file?

upgrade_7T10E_HW2.1.RC20.4.1U_WIWA_V5.2.1.56.bin - I guess that would be it.
I have Wiwa H265:
SW Version V5.2.1.15 Dec 13 2021
HW version:2.1.RC20.4.1UU

Will the specified FW be suitable? In my case there is a hardware version UU and the attached has only one U in the name.

That's what I think too. But of course if you have the option to make a copy of the FLASH memory it's worth doing. They recommend restoring the factory settings before updating and only then updating and then rescanning for channels.
upgrade_7T10E_HW2.1.RC20.4.1U_WIWA_V5.2.1.56.bin .
Just maybe first install version >>20263319 upgrade_7T10E_HW2.1.RC20.4.1U_WIWA_V5.2.1.47.bin And only then the latest one. I leave the decision to you.

The same is true in IT - sometimes small steps to installing sofware to hardware. Apparently updates to multimedia systems in cars with too many versions end up "uceglating" (otherwise known as "bricking").

On these decoders, you can upload the latest one without having to upload it one by one.
These softwares are practically the entire flash memory of the decoder.

With a little adjustment from the USB software, you can make an image for the flash memory in the decoder to be programmed with the programmer.

>>21324143 Sorry! I have a viva H.265 from RJ with the original 2020 soft. It was jamming so I uploaded the soft V5.2.1.56 unfortunately after uploading it gives a message about the wrong soft and to upload the correct one. Help. Is there a soft available for this viva of mine?

Specify the exact model of this WIWA.

I have a new WIWA H265 new bought somewhere a week ago in MediaMarkt and they gave me some software V5.2.2.3 Feb 25 2025.
Model: WIWA H265.
HW version: 2.1.RC20.4.1UU.
Previously shop off the shelf was a different SW: V5.2.1.95 Jul 22 2024.
same: HW version: 2.1.RC20.4.1UU,
And now I want to go back to the previous shop one, because on this new one my 1080p display has disappeared, when I turn on the screen flashes, before it worked.
On this new one there is only 1080i left to set, 1080p can not be set and on YouTube the image has deteriorated, bigger rectangles and image quality in general on everything has deteriorated.
And breaks off my picture somewhere, worst on Polsat News Politics, MUX-8, MUX-1 and others TNIE, RWIE IMAGE every few seconds. When changing to a channel from a weaker mux ( with a weaker signal) it thinks for a long, long time, switches to that channel, and then rips. I am thinking all the time to return it, I have 2 weeks, because it rips and too weak head has it, in a light wind it breaks everything,
Where on a Panasonic smart TV with the tuner built in there there are no such problems on the same Telmor antenna and Telmor crossover and nothing rips on any channel. The channels change quickly.
So I don't know anymore, what are these new decoders being sold these days? And that it rips everything and cuts right on them.
And on the same antennas well set up. Where on the smart TV the signals are 100/90%, and with this off-set 80/70% and it breaks everything.
Something must be wrong with the head unit or the software.

For WIWA H265 new
I do not have this version V5.2.1.95 I have V5.2.1.56 you can check if the image will be displayed correctly.

I gave this: upgrade_7T10E_HW2.1.RC20.4.1U_WIWA_V5.2.1.47.bin and it works, but still 1080p image flashes.
Over the internet I am now trying to upgrade this and it won't give.
It says software update, search.... and searches and can't find anything.
Manually from USB now I will give what you gave above.
Only after installing this version of yours:
upgrade_7T10E_HW2.1.RC20.4.1U_WIWA_V5.2.1.56.bin
invented for me over the internet the version I had, and the latest version, viz:
upgrade_7T10E_HW2.1.RC20.4.1U_WIWA_V5.2.2.3.bin
And the one I wanted, I see I skipped at all, viz:
upgrade_7T10E_HW2.1.RC20.4.1U_WIWA_V5.2.1.95.bin
I'm not going to combine anymore, I'm going to leave it on the latest one, viz:
upgrade_7T10E_HW2.1.RC20.4.1U_WIWA_V5.2.2.3.bin

Mine are older, same versions HW 2.1.RC20.4.1UU, SW: V5.2.1.16 Dec 13 2021.
Update started from USB or from the net over ETH?

>>21570286 .
On the internet after WiFi he finds and as I wrote on this version upgrade_7T10E_HW2.1.RC20.4.1U_WIWA_V5.2.1.56.bin
and upgrades to this one immediately upgrade_7T10E_HW2.1.RC20.4.1U_WIWA_V5.2.2.3.bin.
I am looking for the version of this in the file upgrade_7T10E_HW2.1.RC20.4.1U_WIWA_V5.2.1.95.bin Jul 22 2024 and nowhere to be found, ripping it from the decoder somehow not possible? Because a friend, a colleague has with it still.
From USB also gives and starts this latest version. Below I add as an attachment after USB to WIWA H265 New 2 generation, what are markets currently sold, which are without LAN socket with only WiFi, back plastic black, this latest below the original from February 2025:

My version is old - no ETH just USB. Wifi isn't there either, but I have it at home so will play around with testing an update FW for the decoder.
The old FW can be ripped to the USB before uploading or just a copy of the contents of the memory stick?

Don't give it to the old one, because you will break it, because the old one is probably on a different processor, different motherboard, different chips, bones, etc., from what year do you have it, what does it look like, what model HW, SW?
I clearly wrote that it is to new what they are selling now in the markets WIWA H265 NEW on new chipset 2 generation, without LAN socket at the back, with WI-FI built in the board and if yours does not have WIFI it is logical that it can burn out another motherboard without WIFI, it can eat up other chips..........
Probably it won't even install different software and its size if you have a completely different and strongly old one. It is better not to try.
And even if you manage to upload it and it doesn't eat it, it may not work properly afterwards or worse if you have a current one.
And you won't be able to load anything on the USB with the old software, the only thing you'll do is load the wrong one, you'll break it completely.
It has to be the same SW and HW that is:
Previously shop off the shelf was a different SW: V5.2.1.95 Jul 22 2024. or lower.
and obligatorily the same: HW version: 2.1.RC20.4.1UU,

I specified in post #111 - same HW version. Soft only older because it is running for probably 3 years .
I have a total of 2 pieces - they do not differ in anything, only in the menu there is a difference: the older one has only signal quality, and the newer one has quality and strength.

Both have a description:
WIWA H265 model
SW version: V5.00.49 Jan 3 2020 and V.5.2.1.16 Dec 13 2021 (almost 2 years difference)

HW version: 2.1.RC20.4.1 and 2.1.RC20.4.1UU

PCB I have not looked at this I don't know if there are differences in HW or if only SW sees it differently.

Strange that almost 2 years difference SW and bought within 2 months but I guess from different vendors. They work very well, even the quality changes from 70-90% and there is no problem, it only breaks when the quality drops around 50%, the signal must be at least 65%.

The dealer should not open the box and change anything in the settings or anything, except at the customer's request. So you can even have this situation with the same seller, it's a matter of which delivery the piece is from.

It's the newer ones they will try to update - I just don't know what the update applies to.

It's probably to the one with HW 2.1.RC20.4.1UU that you can confidently upload the latest software, and to the other one with HW 2.1.RC20.4.1 I wouldn't risk it, because it may already be too old on other chips, a different, older, similar version of the motherboard, but there may be differences, I don't rule it out, especially as the HW is missing the UU at the end and that probably won't work properly and how it still won't release it.
You see, the older one already has just the quality itself and now another one for a new soft not from that might just damage it. So a risk on your account.
The warranty doesn't cover it anymore either, so whatever you think. At most you will go to the shop for a second new one, this regarding the older one with this HW 2.1.RC20.4.1 without UU.
In this older one there is also too old a version of SW v5.0.0.49 and you don't know if this latest one will run so immediately and at all, it could be that it won't install it at all because there is another HW without UU.

This will leave me with what is .
The risk is too great.

Unless you can use it for a loss, the old one, then you can test what it will be. And there, not such a big risk, the new one costs 120 zl, the older one probably the price of it has already halved to 60 zl or less, as in 2020 bought and already 5 years old, after the warranty and just like the older one strongly arranged. Exactly, or maybe not and it is the same?
But the UU may make a difference, unless there is a similar if not identical motherboard in it with the processor, then it will cog.
Model the same, but just HW different and it might not go, because technology and chips also change with the years, they move forward and to newer ones, so this newer version of software on an older model might not work, as I wrote. If you take a chance, can you write what happened, did it install, did it not want to, does it work and how, did it stop working altogether?
