Onda has a new firmware out for the VX878, from what i can make it is for Version 2, check the back of your player, in the serial number it will say V1 or V2, however some people had posted on the old forum that loading firmware marked for V2 would still work on V1 players.

well i just did a google translate on the page, seems like the above firmware is ONLY for version 2, as they released the same firmware for Version 1 players about 1 month back:

cool

from the translated page, it seems to mainly fix the language issue, but i think some other buyers have indicated the same firmware update for v1 fixed other issues to.

Well, at least for my V1 player this firmware does not work. It causes the backlight to work in reverse and doesn't maintain language settings over powers cycles.

I think V1 firmware is for V1 players and V2 firmware is for V2 players.

So does this firmware make the interface like the VX878? If it does, then I would buy an 858.

This thread is about 878 firmware. It won't do much for an 858. Except brick it.
