The Pocket 4 Pro runs Android 13 (Dimensity 1100), so firmware arrives as official over-the-air (OTA) updates handled by the built-in Retroid Pocket FOTA / System update tool under Settings > System. Keep Wi-Fi connected and the battery charged, check the version, then download and install. Recent OTAs added an AOSP launcher, quick-settings volume, and Dual Screen Add-on fixes. If an OTA fails, Retroid posts full firmware images on its software page for manual reflash via MediaTek SP Flash Tool.

FAQ

Where do I check for updates?
Settings > System > Retroid Pocket FOTA (System update), then tap Check version. The Pocket 4 Pro does not always auto-prompt, so check manually.
Can I flash firmware manually?
Yes. Retroid publishes firmware images and an SP Flash Tool package for the Pocket 4 Pro (Dimensity) on goretroid.com for recovery when OTA is unavailable.
