Bricked OTT TV BOX M8S

[Mimmer]

Did you use alexthegr824 ROM file from Google Drive? I have not figure out how to get around the errors I have been encountering.

I will have to check which one I actually used. I tried so many unsuccessful ones then finally one worked. The info is on my laptop . As soon as I can get to it I'll check. I used the SD card method

Ok I used the sd card method with the toothpick reset. The file I got was from Entertainmentbox.com latest m8s. I had to give it a couple of trys and it went from no lights seemingly dead to working. hope it works for you too.

Thanks for getting back to me. I will try a couple and hopefully one will work. I have a bad feeling I won't have any luck because I flashed over my boot/recovery so the box only seems to allow 1 specific ROM to run because the bootloader is compatible with it.

But I will give it a try and hope for the best. Only question is, do you recall if your board had this printed on it? M9&M8_8bit_V1.1 2015/09/02 I just want to make sure I don't flash the wrong thing and brick it for good.

Mine says M8 V 8_9. I tried lots of files until one finally worked. Luckily I didn't brick it for good because I had no idea what I was doing until coming here and doing a lot of reading.

i have a problem, i tried to flash a twrp but i did it wrong, because i flashed it as zip, no as img at the update&restore app... the result is that i can't go to recovery and the root is gone.... i have an ott m8s (amlogic 8276-m8, bmc4335), can anyone give me the root file and tell me what to do?

I have m8s plus and tried many img files.With one i got to 3 % and after that my tv shows the boot logo and 2 sec later no signal.So i need to find img file for my QcoQce M8S+ S812 device.Can anyone help me ? The system firmware is a zip file

[kil1mple]

I was able to flash one file but its not the original.Its not really working sometimes its booting directly to the welcome screen where i can setup my device but it keeps crashing...I found an image for my device for the M8S+ but i dont know if that works and its such a hard way to flash an image^^

I wrote an email to the seller of my M8S+.They want to help me and test the newest software with the Box.So you can try to contact the seller or the brand of your box.

Hi,

First of all - thanks to hipisxbit for his help.

I have successfuly recovered my OTT TV BOX M8S. Firmware, that I tried to flash via USB Burning Tool was incorrect. For other people, who has bricked that device: if USB Burning Tool is recognizing device, there is no need to do anything with NAND pins nor OTG jumper (if You have one). Proper *.img file for USB Burning Tool is essential. If you have incorrect file, there will be errors like I described in the first post.

For my device proper img file I found on baido. Downloading was pain in the ass, so I created a mirror for future use (maybe someone will need that file):

https://mega.nz/#!1Fw1Ta5a!0kpwpqjiY...Q-B09FRcGrsAHY

File Name: cyx_m8s_v8.6_ap6330_8g2g_kodi_addons_ota_150908_US B.img

I suppose, that this device has been manufactured by cyx (or cyxtech). I recognized valid file by "V8.6" label on device PCB silkscreen and "V8.6" inside the file name. Also WIFI module (AP6330) was the same.

I flashed device with power plug connected (without it USB Burning Tool (and Windows) did not recognized device). After "Start" button was clicked, my device restarted once after 6% or something like that, and after two minutes of progress I saw "Burning successfully" message. Device is fully functional. Happy end.

Thank you for this I was looking everywhere

You saved my box. Than you.
I had the M8S.AP6330.201509251800 firmware on my box, tryed to update but it was briked, now it works again.
Same board as you M8 V8_6
Do you know if there is any other firmware working on this device? I'm searching for a newer version or better a 5 lollipop one. Does not mind if ethernet does not work.

Thank you!

A little update, the cyx_m8s_v8.6_AP6330_8g2g_kodi_addons_160526_USB_.i mg firmware comes with kodi 16.1 and works slighly better then the cyx_m8s_v8.6_ap6330_8g2g_kodi_addons_ota_150908_US B.img, the latest one sometimes freeze the device.
