DHB Taxi Advertising Machine Firmware Upgrade Guide
This guide explains how to upgrade the firmware of a DHB taxi advertising machine using a USB flash drive. There are two upgrade methods depending on whether the Android system can start normally.
Method 1: Upgrade When the Android System Works Normally
Step 1: Download the Latest Firmware
Download the latest system firmware provided by DHB to your computer.
Check the firmware file name and rename it to:
update
Please make sure the file name is correct before continuing.
Step 2: Copy the Firmware to the USB Flash Drive
Copy the firmware file to the root directory of the USB flash drive.
Do not place the firmware file inside any folder. After copying, check the file name again and make sure it is still named update.
Step 3: Insert the USB Flash Drive
Insert the USB flash drive into the Type-C port of the DHB taxi advertising machine.
Important: The Type-C interface must be used for the firmware upgrade. Please use the Type-C adapter cable supplied with the advertising machine.
Step 4: Start the Automatic Upgrade
If the advertising machine can enter the Android system normally, simply insert the USB flash drive into the Type-C port. No additional operation is required.
The system will automatically detect the firmware and start the upgrade.
During the upgrade process, the advertising machine will restart for the first time.
Do not unplug the USB flash drive or disconnect the power supply.
After the firmware upgrade is completed, the advertising machine will restart for a second time.
The second restart may take longer than a normal startup. Please wait patiently.
After the advertising machine restarts and successfully enters the Android system, you can remove the USB flash drive.
Please refer to the DHB firmware upgrade video for the complete operation.
Method 2: Upgrade When the Android System Cannot Start
If the Android system has crashed and the advertising machine cannot enter the Android system, a different upgrade method is required.
Step 1: Remove the Normal Firmware
First, remove the normal firmware file from the USB flash drive.
Step 2: Obtain the System Image
Contact DHB technical support to obtain the appropriate system image file.
Use the USB flash drive to create the system image according to the instructions shown in the DHB reference video.
Step 3: Connect the USB Flash Drive
Make sure the advertising machine is disconnected from the power supply.
Insert the prepared USB flash drive into the Type-C port.
Step 4: Start the Recovery Upgrade
Reconnect the power supply and turn on the advertising machine.
The system will automatically detect the USB flash drive and start the recovery upgrade.
The recovery upgrade takes approximately 10 minutes.
Important: Do not unplug the USB flash drive and do not disconnect the power supply during the upgrade process.
Step 5: Complete the Upgrade
After the upgrade is completed, the advertising machine will automatically enter the Android system.
Once the Android system has successfully started, unplug the USB flash drive.
Please refer to the DHB recovery upgrade video for detailed instructions on creating the system image and completing the upgrade.
Important Notes
- Use the correct firmware for your DHB advertising machine model.

Following the correct procedure will help ensure a safe and successful firmware upgrade.
