Install from intent
To topSince version 3.6.0 it is possible to trigger the installation of a local update from an intent.
To do this the action “com.handheld.updater.action.INSTALL_LOCAL_UPDATE” has to be called with a string extra called “file”.
This needs to point to the ZIP file within the Android OS file system.
See the command below for a full example.
am broadcast -a com.handheld.updater.action.INSTALL_LOCAL_UPDATE --es file "/sdcard/ota.zip"
Depending on the device and Android version, you might also have the provide the package name of the OTA app for the system to accept the intent (with -p). See the list below for the package name of each device.
Starting with version 4.0 there is also a broadcast to trigger an update check with the action “com.handheldgroup.systemupdate.CHECK_FOR_UPDATE”:
am broadcast -a com.handheldgroup.systemupdate.CHECK_FOR_UPDATE
The install command also has a new action “com.handheldgroup.systemupdate.INSTALL_LOCAL_UPDATE” but the previous one will also still work.
Package name of the OTA app on each device:
- Algiz RT7: com.handheld.algiz.rt7
- Algiz RT8: com.handheldgroup.ota.falcon
- Nautiz X2 (Android 6 or 7): com.handheld.nautiz.nx2
- Nautiz X2 (Android 9): com.handheldgroup.ota.alta
- Nautiz X41: com.handheldgroup.ota.albatross
- Nautiz X6: com.handheldgroup.ota.eagle
- Nautiz X9: com.handheld.nautiz.nx9
Lock OS version

Lock OS version
To topWith v4 or newer, you can use a system setting to lock the device at a specific OS version. The system will never show an update to a later OS!
The setting group is “global” and the value should be the latest OS that should be installed on the unit. For the key, see the table below.
This setting needs to be applied from an EEM system or using the MaxGo Manager or Staging apps. There is no setting in the System Update itself.
