[ROM] Mecool M8S PRO W TVStock Nexus ROM (Android TV 7.1)

[Novato]

Do you mean the OEM firmware of the M8S Plus W? If so, it is bad. And with only 1GB of RAM in this box, everything will crash, so you have to have a lot of patience and think well which ones apps to use. For example, using the browser is stressful. I was using the VIA browser before doing the upgrade.

Hi trebor Should I give up the tutorial? I really wanted to be able to share with the people who have this device.

Keep on going,
If it gets marked as spam we can unspam....may not happen immediately but it will happen.
You can try reducing image size, to under 1024 x 768 may help

No. This model M8S Pro W 2.4G is 2GB RAM.

Hello all. I have a Mecool M8S Pro+ Android TV OS TV Box with voice remote control. It is working good enough for my fathers daily use. But there is one problem with stock firmware. Exo player does not play 4K HLS streams,.

This is the device:

https://www.gearbest.com/tv-box/pp_009146073099.html

I usualy had success with this modified firmware but in title it says it is for M8S Pro W and not M8S Pro+. Specifications looks the same. Is it possible it will still work?

My current firmware is "7.1.2/api25/M8S PRO PLUS-userdebug 7.1.2 NHG47L 20180827.121904.V0213" and I am affraid if I flash it, that I will not be able to go back, since I can't find this stock firmware anywhere. Also I do not want to lose any Widewine licenses if any.

What do you think? Would it work on M8S Pro+ S905W (2GB RAM /16GB ROM)?

Thank you a lot for information and reply.

Hello, from what I've been reading the devices M8S Pro W, M8S Plus W and M8S Pro Plus (S905W) who comes with SoC S905W 1 / 2GB of RAM and Android TV OS, have a different bootloader of this model M8S Pro W here of the forum .

Probably, installing this firmware will result in 'hardbrick' on your device. My suggestion is that you try to make software changes and use players like MX Player or VLC Player. Change the SW, HW, and HW + settings.

The Mecool M8S PRO W 2/16GB is on flash sale at Gearbest, before I buy, will the ROM in this thread work with the box?

[Novato]

If it is the model that does not come Android TV and Air Mouse 2.4Ghz probably yes.

This is the link to the box on Gearbest, in the title it says Android TV OS support and it comes with normal remote control and not air mouse.

[Novato]

Yes! Both say that it has Android TV OS support, it will probably come from the Android TV OS factory or will be available in the Box Update App.

[Novato]

There is and for the price difference, it would be interesting to get the Air Mouse, or you can choose to pick up the model with gyro in the Alie. Search for Air Mouse G10s.

So the box will work with the ROM in this thread? As I read few pages back that people have bricked their box, black screen etc.

I have a spare air mouse so I will just go for the cheaper option without it.

You did not understand correctly. I have said that the M8S Pro W 2.4 GHz already comes with the Android TV OS. Soon there will be no need to use the firmware of this topic. And still want to trade for some bug that the OEM firmware will have the possibility of the firmware of this topic not being compatible with your box, just see the latest comments.

Hi, after tying flash nexus rom I bricked my device (black screen)


Attempts to load img through the USB_Buring_Tool are unsuccessful (error of 7% progress)
I tried to flash with a tight reset pins, or without ... Unsuccessfully - there was always an error in the same place.


Some ideas how to fix it??
