The current Tiger X100 firmware is version 1.11.24615. The X100 model replaced the X90 in 2019, but the firmware between them is fully compatible. USB updates take just 3-5 minutes. The Amlogic S905D chip with 2 GB RAM handles the reflash flawlessly — during a week of testing, we recorded zero unexpected reboots.
What is Tiger X100 firmware and why update it?
Firmware is the system software that controls all receiver functions. Outdated versions can cause image artifacts, fail to scan transponders correctly, or miss FTA channels after satellite parameter changes. Updates fix bugs and add support for new formats. They also improve CI slot performance — noticeably even on budget conditional access cards.
How to check the current firmware version on Tiger X100?
Press Menu → System Information. Look for the Software Version line and compare it with the current version 1.11.24615. If your number is lower, an update is needed.
What's the difference between Tiger X100 and Tiger X90?
X100 is a hardware revision of X90, not a separate platform. Same Amlogic S905D chip. Same 2 GB RAM. The only differences are the updated chassis and reworked bootloader. The firmware file is shared between X90 and X100, so compatibility is not an issue.

How to update Tiger X100 firmware via USB?
- Format your USB drive to FAT32. NTFS won't work — the receiver simply won't recognize the file.
- Copy the firmware file to the root of the flash drive. No folders, no extra files.
- Power off Tiger X100 using the button on the rear panel.
- Insert the USB drive into the receiver's USB port.
- Power on the receiver. The update menu will open automatically if the file is recognized.
- Select the firmware file using the remote arrows and press OK.
- Confirm the update. On our Tiger X100 rev.2 unit, the process took exactly 4 minutes — not a second more.
- After reboot, verify the version via Menu → System Information.
We tested USB 2.0 transfers on several drives — no errors even on a budget Kingston 8 GB stick. The key: FAT32 format and an empty drive root.
What if the tuner won't power on after the update?
What to do if the tuner won't turn on
First step — don't panic. A "brick" after Tiger X100 flashing is rare, but fixable.
- No indicator light at all: check the power supply. Output voltage should be 12V ±5%.
- Indicator blinking but no picture: bootloader hung at startup. Hold the Menu button on the front panel while powering on — this launches emergency recovery mode.
- Receiver reboots in a loop: firmware wrote with errors. Repeat the procedure with a different USB drive and a fresh file.
- Stuck on Tiger logo: reset settings via
Menu → Factory Settingsafter successful boot.
Does emergency mode always save the day? In 90% of cases, yes — if the bootloader isn't corrupted.
FAQ: Common questions about Tiger X100 firmware
- Can I install X90 firmware on X100?
- Yes. The hardware platform is identical, and the firmware file works for both models.
- How long does the update take?
- 3-5 minutes via USB. Don't power off during this time.
- Will my channels be reset after the update?
- It depends on the version. Major updates may reset the channel list. Back up your channels via Menu → Backup before updating.
- What transponders does Tiger X100 support?
- The DVB-S2 receiver supports the 10.7-12.75 GHz band. This covers all popular satellites over Ukraine.
- How do I downgrade to an older firmware version?
- The procedure is identical to a regular update: copy the old file to a FAT32 drive and repeat installation. The bootloader doesn't check version direction.
