Which model
The China-market XGIMI Z9X 4K on Android 14.
  • The XGIMI Z7X, RS 10, RS 20 and the other XGIMI models are different devices and this page does not apply to them. Within one series the board and the Android version can differ, so the model name has to match in full.
  • Only the Chinese version is supported. An international unit (Horizon, Elfin, Halo and the like) already runs English firmware and does not need us.
How to check
The exact model name is on the box, on the purchase documents or on the sticker on the case: it has to read XGIMI Z9X 4K.
Last tested · September 2026
The install was verified on an XGIMI Z9X 4K: every component of the set installed, the system language switched and the AmnesiaOS home screen came up.
Firmware

Looking for Global or International Firmware for the XGIMI Z9X 4K?

Owners of a Chinese XGIMI Z9X 4K usually search for a “global” or “international” firmware image, a global ROM, or a way to flash the unit from CN to Intl. It is worth being clear about what we do and what we do not do.

AmnesiaOS does not flash an official XGIMI global firmware image, and does not turn a Chinese unit into the international version. Cross-region flashing on these boards is not something we offer, and getting it wrong is how projectors end up bricked.

What we do instead is change the language to English on the firmware you already have: the system language, the settings screens and the home screen, so you get proper English menus rather than a half-translated one. Your firmware, your warranty state and your bootloader stay as they are — AmnesiaOS installs as an ordinary Android application. What changes and what stays untouched is listed in full below.

Before you buy

Chinese Version vs Global Version of the XGIMI Z9X 4K

People comparing a Chinese XGIMI Z9X 4K with the global version are weighing a real price gap against the software. The panel, the optics and the chassis are the same device; what differs is what runs on it — Chinese menus, a China-focused app set and services that expect a Chinese account.

That software gap is exactly the part AmnesiaOS closes. What it does not do is make your unit the international model: the model code and anything the manufacturer ties to the region stay as they are. If you specifically need the official global unit — local warranty handling, for instance — buy the global version.

Using a Chinese XGIMI Z9X 4K in the US or the UK: once the interface is fully English it behaves like any other Android projector on your network, and you do not need a Fire Stick or a Roku just to get a readable menu. Check the power lead and plug for your country before you buy — that is a hardware question we do not touch.

Questions and answers

Frequently asked questions

Can I change the XGIMI Z9X 4K from Chinese to English?
Yes. The system language, the stock settings screens and the home screen come up in English. The quick-settings panel can stay partly in Chinese.
Can I install global firmware on the XGIMI Z9X 4K instead?
We do not flash an official XGIMI global or international firmware image, and we do not turn a Chinese unit into the international model. AmnesiaOS localises the firmware that is already on the projector.
Does this replace the original firmware?
No. AmnesiaOS installs as an ordinary Android application. We never flash firmware, never unlock the bootloader and never open the case.
What opens when I press Home on the remote?
The AmnesiaOS home screen.
Which apps come with it?
The set installed on this model: Nuvio, Aptoide TV, HBO Max, Hulu, Plex, Crunchyroll, Kodi, Emotn Store, YouTube without ads (SmartTube), TiviMate, Netflix, AI Browser, YouTube TV. Installing an app does not by itself grant access to content — playback depends on the service.
Does this work on other XGIMI models?
No. This page is only about the XGIMI Z9X 4K. The status of every other model is in the supported models catalogue.
Does the Chinese XGIMI Z9X 4K work in the US or the UK?
Yes — it is an ordinary Android projector on your own network, and after the install the menus are in English rather than Chinese. The one thing to check before you buy an imported unit is the power lead and plug for your country.
Can it be installed without internet?
No: the installer downloads the files for your model while it runs.
Do I need a technician or a remote session?
No. There is no appointment, no screen sharing and no time-zone juggling — you run the installer from a USB stick when it suits you.
