Hello!
Magendanz I installed this ROM and works 30 times better than stock one that I had, no freezing or anything else (mega deep sleep when inactive) now so thank you for that!
But the problem is TWRP, i cant find single TWRP which works, even tho one comes with ROM, I cant mount anything in TWRP. I tried some from other posts here but same result.
I swipe the bar to allow system modifications, I get in TWRP menus and stuff, everything is clickable but it cant mount system,data etc., and when im rebooting to system it says no OS detected, but still boots to my OS.
I read through most of posts but people usually talk about REV 2.2 which i dont own. Is there any workaround or TWRP which i missed?

I have blue board REV 1.4 , july 2018.

There are no Oreo or Pie OEM ROMs for the M8S PRO W, at least not that I've seen from VideoStrong. In fact, Amlogic's ongoing SDK support for the S905W is hard to determine, since it's not showing up in their tables: http://openlinux.amlogic.com/Android/Mbox

Thanks for reply. I installed this firmware. And YES, this firmware has problem with WiFi too, as originaly firmware. After some time of using WiFi, download speed drops for more ~60%. My connection speed is 20/2Mbps. After I used box for some time (watching youtube, using kodi etc), WiFi download speed drops on 5-7Mbps, and only solution (for some time) of this problem is to reset WiFi (disable/enable Wlan card). Prove for this problem is video I recorded. First, speed test show download speed of 6-7Mbps. After I reset WiFi, speed back to normal (~20Mbps).
