MXQ M10; can't flash TWRP

[Macsbig]

Hi all, long time luker!

I have an MQX M10 tv box, this was a great box tbh, but only runs Andriod 4.4.1, I was unable to run Kodi 17+

With this in mind I searched for new FW, and noticed that the M8S(+ too?) Seemed the same ref board (info on board says M8 v8_9)

I managed to brick the box messing with different FW, but flashed a FW from Chinagadgets (.img file using USB Burner) for an M8S. This works fine, but it is only Android 4.4.1 again.

I have a zip with Android 5.1 on and TWRP (also from China gadgets!) But am unable to flash the TWRP to install the zip file (just hangs on boot on M8S logo).

I have tried installing the zip in stock recovery but get tge error: signature verification error, after it checks the zip file.

Anyone have any ideas, I have spent hours trawl ing the forum and internet in general and I'm pulling my hair out! Lol. If I could get TWRP to install I think it would then be easy.

Many thanks in advance guys!

Thanks for the reply; I've tried all the possible ones of these, and no dice!

I think.. but its a guess...your unit is n200

if all fails.. You should be to install Libreelec 8 on your unit (based on kodi 17.3 or higer)
IF you only seek Kodi... See: https://forum.libreelec.tv

cheers

Yes i believe its an n200c? Have a rom that works (M8S) this has the bcm4335(?) wifi embedded. Everything appears to work, but this is only 4.4.2. I use ipvanish so would need to run Andriod i guess? Thanks for the reply!

About Android 5.1 with that wifi
see: http://freaktab.com/forum/tv-player-...rmware-kodi-17

About libreelec
Just Google: How To Install VPN On LibreELEC With IPVanish Guide
Note: most Libreelec bèta's have the VPN disabled ( checkout release notes )

also note: that libreelec will not see 2gb ram due to the wifi chipset
see: https://forum.libreelec.tv/thread/14...wifi/?pageNo=8

that as far as i can help you... Goodluck
ps if you do find a trwp or android 5.1 for your unit..please keep-us informed
