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

[Saleen]

Hello,

I am having an issue with my Mecool M8S Pro W rev. 2.3 after trying to flash the Nexus rom on it. It bricked, red led, black screen, reset working, the only thing that worked was shorting the pins on the Nand flash. Now it gets detected by pc everytime I plug the usb into it. But...I can't find any good images to flash on it ( tried more than 15 ). Most of them get stuck at 4% with Usb burn maker or 7% ( [0x32030201]Uboot/Get result/Disk Initial error ). 90% of them aren't bootable with SD card maker, and those who do work, get stuck at like 2-3% on tv at "upgrading..." ( Lunn-NHG47L-20190418.114957.V0213.img , this one is among the few that is accepted by the tvbox on the SD card ). I am running out of ideas on how to get it working. Can anyone help me with a good firmware image ? I contacted Gearbest support in order to ask for a good working image to flash and they said they'll refund me ( which is good ), but nothing about the stock firmware. Maybe I am doing something wrong, since I'm only a beginner, or I just don't have a propper firmware image for this revision.

I have installed this ROM from the first link.
I have used USB Burning Tool.

My TV BOX: A95XF1 Amlogic S905W 2GB 16GB 2.4G WIFI TV Box

Everything is working except the REMOTE.

Can someone suggest how to get the IR remote working please?

Regards
Hannah

Hello is the rom compatible with m8s pro w REV.2.3

No, I've bricked my box after flashing this software. Rev2.3 has a different board.

I would like to install nexus on my mecool pro w because I have some freezing while I'm watching IPTV dunno why... It seems that the link of newest rom of nexus that Magendanz posts doesn't let me download... Can anyone please give me the nexus rom link for download? Thanks

I hadn't realized that VideoStrong was hosting a stock ROM repository now. Thanks for the link!

So i had tested the rom about one week now...

cons
Comparing with stock is more slow, you can notice that when you install apks.
You can not install apks that are not for android tv. Lets say normal Play Store that i had with the stock rom.

pros
Menu now is more ANDROID TV.
Temperature are lower from stock.
Screen does not freeze.
You can close apps from the background.

Questions...
How can i enter TWRP mode?
If i install magisk is there any possibility i break the rom testing apps and modes?

Thank you Magendanz. I hope the maintaining continuous.
