How to Flash Shanling M6 and M6 Pro Firmware File (Stock ROM)

There are two easy ways to install the latest firmware on your Shanling M6 and M6 Pro digital audio player. Either you can manually update the firmware file or check for OTA update and install it. We’ve mentioned both methods.

1. Manual Update

  • Keep your device fully charged > Copy the downloaded firmware zip file in the root folder of the device’s internal memory. No need to unzip the file.
  • Now, open the ‘Support’ app (purple light bulb icon) > Go to ‘Firmware Update’.
  • Switch to ‘Local Update’ > Locate the firmware zip file.
  • Confirm the installation and wait until the device restarts after updating.

Note: For M6 users, if you’re updating from the firmware lower than V3.0, you need to perform a factory reset after the update.

2. OTA Update

  • Open the ‘Support’ app (purple light bulb icon).
  • Tap on ‘Firmware Update’ > The system will check for the available firmware update.
  • If available, download it > Confirm the installation.
  • Now, wait until the system completes the update and restarts automatically.

Note: If the audio player is running on the latest firmware version, it’ll show the notification and stop the update.
