This is the process that I completed no doubt there will be other methods to do this, so far OE is not fully working but with a little tweaking / experimenting I am sure it will get there. The guide itself is intended just as a starting point quick reference for Qbox owners and is still a work in progress. This has been tested on the 16gb Version only.
Stage 1 -Updating to latest QBOX firmware with Google play & Netflix fix & root. (Thanks to Trebor for providing the firmware)
Download
Place files on root of sd card insert in box and flash via the reset button which can be found in the av hole at the back of the box. While button pressed insert power cable until flashing process begins and release button.
Stage 2 -Updating uboot thanks to balbes150.
Download
Download both files and place on the root of a fat32 formatted sd card, I renamed the s905_uboot_multi_version_v2.zip
To just aml_autoscript file extension in my case was needed as windows had correctly identified the file as zip, check this is the case when you are doing it as .zip may need to be added once renamed.
Insert the sd card in Qbox and navigate to apps and look for update and backup app. Launch this and click select this will start the scanning process to check for available files. Once completed select the aml_autoscript.zip file and then select update. If all goes according to plan the box will just reboot to android and the the only clue that anything has happened is that it takes slightly longer to boot and the Q appears twice on boot.
Stage 3 (Thanks to Abdul_pt)
Next process not essential if last process completed OK but if you want TWRP then follow also.
Download
Download the file and rename to recovery.img or in my case recovery only as windows had identified file type correctly in first instance and place on root of sd card. Use pin reset method as mentioned in stage 1 and await TWRP booting. Once booted select install & sd card. Once recovery.img located select and then slide to flash. TWRP should now be installed.
If you were unable to update uboot you will want to redo stage 2 at this point and try to update via TWRP. By slecting install zip in TWRP.
Stage 4 Installing OE (Thanks to balbes150)
Windows users will require win32Diskimager to burn OE to either SD Card or USB I have tried both and both work fine, incidentally I have tronsmart s95 and experienced many problems with different types of media with Qbox this has been non- evident all media so far has burned and booted on first occasion. However this is not to say that I have not been lucky with my box, so a word of caution you may need to try some different media.
Openelec downloads
Download one of the images made available by balbes15O, I used 6.95.3 and place in a folder extract the zip file until you have OE image. Now use win32diskimager to burn the img file to sd card or usb stick. Open either USB stick or SD Card in windows explorer and I simply swapped the dtb file. The dtb file can be extracted from the latest firmware from stage 1.
Once burned insert SD or USB in Qbox and reboot and await OE starting.
A word of thanks to Balbes150, RiscyDude, Abdul_PT & Trebor for files and help.
update
OE 7 Working also and Bluetooth and IR.
To enable IR copy this file via network explorer on windows, locate your OE installation while OE Machine running and copy remote.conf to configfiles directory.
