Shanling M6 Firmware V 2.8 update

Shanling M6 Firmware V2.8 notes


Google drive download (800MB file) or use OTA update



New functions:

1.Added USB Digital Output function, for use with external DAC.

Notes: 

M6 recognizes connected DAC automatically and switches to digital output. 

Volume of USB output is controlled by M6. We recommend to set it to 100%.

USB volume is separate from analogue output volume. After you disconnect USB DAC, system will switch to previously set volume level.

We recommend to open music software on M6 before connecting external DAC.


2.Added standard Android virtual buttons.

To enable, go to Settings > Display > Virtual Key mode and turn on “Navigation bar visible”.


Changes and fixes:

1.Improved battery performance and battery indicators.

2.Fixed rare issue, when M6 was unable to turn on after charging.

3.Optimized translations.

4.Other bug fixes.


How to update:

1. Make sure your device is fully charged.

2. Copy downloaded .zip file into root folder of internal memory. (without unpacking .zip file)

3. Open “Support” app (purple light bulb icon). Go to “Update”, switch to “Local Update” and locate zip file.

4. Confirm install and wait until device updates and restarts itself.

5. If you are updating from firmware V2.7 or lower, you need to perform factory reset. This process will delete all files/apps/accounts/data from M6. Go to “Back & reset” in settings, choose “Factory data reset” and confirm. Wait until device restarts.

If your device already has V2.73 or higher, there is no need to perform factory reset.


Over-the-Air firmware update

4. When fully downloaded, confirm installation and wait until system finishes its automatic update. After device restarts, everything is ready for you.

Note: If latest version of firmware is already installed, M6 will show notification and will stop update.

5. If you are updating from firmware V2.7 or lower, you need to perform factory reset. This process will delete all files/apps/accounts/data from M6. Go to “Back & reset” in settings, choose “Factory data reset” and confirm. Wait until device restarts.
