I got one of these boxes from GearBest - found to be absolute crap as well. (software wise). Managed to get Kodi working by removing what was installed and doing and installing the APK. Google Play store is useless as this device is not recognized so Device not compatible listed for pretty much every app. Could someone post a link to the isntructions on how to root this box or updated firmware if it has been found.
NOTE: I did complain to GearBest support sent them screen shots and details of the issue with the box. The offered me full refund if I ship the box back to China or 50% refund on credit if I kept the box.

and kodi works very good.
(maybe you dont need openelec)
Also from Kodi forum iread that KOdi 15.1 works without any modification.Something changed after 15.2

Look at the bottom of the page.
http://4pda.ru/forum/index.php?showtopic=723156&st=1860 (and use google translate).
I havent tried it myself, probably will tomorrow.
I'm guessing that the first is flashed via TWRP and the second via USB Burning tool? Can you confirm if this assumption is correct, and/or which method you used? I did Google translate for the post and several b4 and after. It wasn't clear to me, as the translate was really weird with some words that Google created that wouldn't translate. .

I have also received this box.
So far i have
1.) Changed the cooler with one i got from an old graphics card. It runs without overheating.
2.) Rooted the box using fineless sdcard root method.
3.) Removed bloatware using system app remover.
4.) Replaced systemui.apk and added a line to build.prop to have lower and upper bars.
(systemui from here http://www.cnx-software.com/download/SystemUI.zip. Replaced it in this folder /system/priv-app/systemui/. Added qemu.hw.mainkeys=0 to build.prop)
5.) Installed TWRP using the tronsmart s95 file.
6.) Unistalled and installed the latest version of kodi.
I have tried numerous modifications to build.prop in order to eliminate the "non compatible" error message when installing apps from Play store.
Unfortunately non of them worked.
Also market helper did not work.
I will continue looking for a solution.
P.S. When replacing systemui.apk and build.prop ALWAYS use adb to do it. When i used ES file explorer ( with root rights), i got a brick (because of the build.prop)
- Rooted per Finless's method and updated the SuperSU
- Installed TWRP of s95 file via Rashr.
- Replaced the SystemUI apk from your link. thanks.
- Installed Xposed of s95 file + GravityBox (so that I could also adjust the StatusBar and NavBar without editing the build.prop).
- Reinstalled the updated Kodi via Google Play Store as well as I could also update all preloaded apps.
Everything worked fine for me so far! .

Depi, good post. I'm reading through the Russian post and found 2 files, TWRP MXQ Pro Tronsmart and MXQ Pro S905 A* DDR2G Wifi 6330 Vega s95....
First, I'm hoping the firmware isn't Russian Language.
I'm guessing that the first is flashed via TWRP and the second via USB Burning tool.
Do you know if this is correct and which did you flash?
And are you still happy with the firmware?
But the first version is working excellent

These are the two files that JDownloader picked up when I checked the post by SD-Robots:
TWRP MXQ Pro Tronsmart (731.12 MiB)
MXQ Pro S905 A8 DDR2G WIFI6330 VegaS95 Meta p200 2G-201604...(1004.24 MiB)
Google translate did not translate well, so I'm at a bit of a loss as what the difference is - is the first used to flash with TWRP and the 2nd with USB Burning Tool?
Thanks for any help you can provide.I believe that if life gives you lemons, you should make lemonade... And try to find somebody whose life has given them vodka, and have a party.
