I have an M8s, V8-8 2g+8g, 151228034 running 4.4.2. Is there an update to 5.1 or higher? I would like to get kodi 17 on it. Thx

Hi, everybody and happy New Yaer!!! I have OTT M8S+ S812 with Android 5.1 but I want to know if I can upgrade to Android 6 or Android 7, and if I can... can you helpme please why I can do this upgrade? Thanks and I have installed the last firmware on decembre 2016..

hello folk unfortunately you got a clone one. there is a easy to tell original or clone box. just look at the heat sink. original's always bigger, and you can take off original's heat sink easily. not for clones, cos they use something almost like glue to stick it on. check my picture. you really need to try many firmwares for clones to get a suitable one.

Hi ,Thans for your comparison,my heat sink is the bigger one and same board version ,but I don't find the firmware or twrp to flash.Can you recommenmd me any images to flash?

Did you get it fix, because i have the same number on mine M8 V8_1. nothing worked for me, help please.

Can I ask you where you got that 5.95.3 zip please? one of the cores is at 100% with nothing playing or anything, the box is pretty warm as well. Is that normal?

Did you keep openelec on box or did you flash android back onto box? Was there much improvement from android to openelec in regards to how kodi handles video, at moment when watching videos I get very very slight stuttering on videos...

It worked. I had to short the pins on the nand (29-30) like you said and I was able to recover the device. Thanks a million. You're the best!.

I am glad that I could help

I have the same M8S - S812 - 2G/8G (Meson m8m2) AP6330
PCB: M8 V8_1 201501418

If you don't need Android apps and just want a stable media player
I suggest OpenELEC / Kodi (Flash at your own risk!)

Don't install 5.95.5 M8S images as they soft bricked my box, had to use Amlogic USB Burning Tool v2.0.4.3 and Em9_ap6330_2g8g_150203_usb.rar to recover

Thanks for responding. I created the SD card with the BootCardMaker. Can you send me the .ini file please? I went to the link you sent -> (freaktab.comhttp://freaktab.com/forum/tv-player-support/amlogic-based-tv-players/529553-i-need-firmware-rom-m8s-and-help) but the instructions are a bit unclear. Can you explain the procedure again for and the files I need to put on the SD card for it to work?

Thanks again for your help! I really appreciate it.

Try to use my procedure for amilogic from sdcard ( dont short any pins ). You Need firmware img format , and u-boot.bin for you device ( from zip update fie. or try to use u-boot.bin from megatron firmware - find in google)
If failed try again witch short pins on YOUR NAND - search in goggle what pins must be short.
If you need i have file ini.
