Autel Maxidas DS808 software FAQs:

Q1: I am unable to update, either the firmware or the software on my AUTEL DS808. I get server errors in both instances. Is anyone else having this problem, or know how to solve it.
A1: You must connect to WiFi. If your phone have hotspot, put on the hotspot and make sure your data is on. Then go to setting on your ds 808 and put on the WiFi. That’s all.

Q2: Is there any “PC-Suite” software for the DS808? I’d like to be able to download updates with my pc, when needed, without having to use the slow built-in wifi.
A2: I say No.The DS808 is the same hardware base as the 906 and All is stored in the internal flash, Not on the SD. So there is no reason for PC software and it runs via WIFI, which is fast now as it can deal with 300 Mbts networks.

Q3: I know that this maxidas ds808 is based on the Android operating system, would there be any benefit to installing a “backup” app, or would there be no real way of recovery if the internal flash data got corrupted. I’ve copied the vehicle database files, but I’m thinking more of the operating system wanting to backup.

A3: It is not easy to installing extra software and backup software
– you have no google store app on the DS/MS to get software
– backup needs rooting your device, not sure if hat is possible
– currupted flash will also block you for starting any restore software
So may be not needed.
