hmm.....after further observation, it looks like the behaviour is if the charger plugged in, on battery it does goes off. Sorry false alarm!

Would a fiio 4.4mm to 2.5mm balanaced adaptor work? My current ciem is using 2.5mm.

You are on Windows 10 so try this - skip step 1. Do not install Qualcomm driver (if you already install it, please uninstall it and restart computer just to make sure). Start with step 2. Connect R6 to computer, wait to see charging screen and then press "Power", "Volume +" and "Volume -" simultanously. Windows should detect and install correct Qualcomm driver. Then you can proceed to step three (make sure to check COM port) and it should update without problems.

After a day of on and off searching how to update the firmware, finding the guide in this thread, then getting all the way to the end, only to get a red light, I found your comment.

Uninstalled the driver, followed the process again (note that my COM number changed) and it worked!

Not a process I want to do again, but it feels good to have been able to get it done. Thanks for the comment you left here. Super helpful.

does anyone else have other suggestions on how to get the R6 out of boot loop?
I've tried all different combos of volume + power but still cannot get into recovery mode.

It will only go into this screen.

There would be a few options to cycle through on this screen using the volume buttons. So instead of Power off in big letters something else would show and pressing the power button would do that instead. Does "Recovery" show up as any of the options?

As for volume+ plug power to go into recovery, please follow these instructions VERY carefully:
1. with the R6 powered off, first press and hold the volume + button
2. now, with the volume + button held down, also press and hold the power button
3. When the HiBy logo comes on, RELEASE both buttons after a few seconds. Otherwise this will fail.

When the robot lying on its back shows,
1. press and hold the power button,
2. with the power button held down, press the volume + button once

You will enter the recovery menu.

Still no luck with getting android robot screen

The other recovery screen I see other than power off are “start” “restart bootloader” and “recovery mode” but all of these just go back to boot loop screen.

It sounds like even the recovery partition was corrupted. As a last resort for fixing this on your own, you may try "updating" to oreo or marshmallow from scratch using my instructions on page 349: https://www.head-fi.org/threads/hib...unded-indiegogo.852042/page-349#post-14703786

I'll try this at home later this week since I'm in Tokyo now.
My laptop has USB ports disabled so i won't be able to access the R6.

Got admin access
I was able to go through the instructions
Once it got to 100% and the R6 restarted, it's still going through boot loop.

Sorry to hear that. It sounds like a trip to the factory is the only thing that can be done

Yeah I think we're heading that route

Hi All!
I've read all 397pages really hard to be honest. Happy I did it and now I am owner of the red R6 from Amazon. Working perfectly after some tweaks.
I love sound from balanced output with my AKG N40 and Sennheiser hd650, also love my android auto integration.
Well done Hiby! Tidal and Qobuz work flawlessly, no wifi problems or bluetooth issues with my Sennheiser Momentum true wireless or Sony Wh1000xm3.
Looking forward to the future updates which I hope will polish software even more.
I have only one question where is some setting for DTA?
Hope all others enjoy R6 as I do.

Hey guys,

So been enjoying my R6. Last couple times I used it though, the battery drained to zero over night from between 65 and 85. It seems to be stuck in "Balanced" mode and pushing out power even with no HP's in.
