Which firmware did you try to flash? Link us to the exact firmware.
Also, are you sure you have the M8S Mini II? There is an M8S Mini that has an S905 (not S905X).

All I can recommend is to make sure you're downloading the correct firmware in .img format (like this one), follow THESE instructions and try again. If that doesn't work out for you, you might want to try getting a USB cable (they can be found for cheap online, on **** etc.,) and try flashing the .img file using the USB Burning Tool (the instructions that described in post 2 of the thread I linked to above).

If those don't work, unfortunately I'm unable to help you. There may be a way to unbrick your box by shorting pins, but that's out of my knowledge.

When flashing firmwares, you need to be absolute sure about everything before proceeding.

Ok. I DID IT !!!!!!!!! I bought a usb male to male and I revive the box. With the sd card it didn't work.
Thanks a lot mate !!!! Is this firmware that you linked me, stock or custom ?? I mean the rv112 from the above link. If yes what is the difference ?

Great, glad you were able to un-brick it.

I'm not sure if this is considered official, but I think it's basically the stock rom with a few fixes and settings added by megabox. As far as I can tell, the only fix that I've noticed is they added a high-res splash screen as a workaround to a brightness issue that these boxes have. In technical terms, it plays what I think is a 4K video as the splash screen to trigger the box to change the output brightness range from 0-255 full range to 16-235 limited range. Most owners use this box on a TV, and not all TVs support full range, so the image looked too dark for many people. The workaround was to manually play a 4K video file, but the splash screen basically does it for you.

They added a few settings, but nothing major IIRC. Or at least nothing that I cared about.

Hi guys. My box arrived today. It keeps restarting. i can't even move through menu. I think it can be solved with factor reset but I can't reach the settings. Is there another way?

[geornirv]

Don't worry. What box do you have? If mini m8s II , then go quickly to settings and switch off the setting for HDMI cec

Do you have a different TV or HDMI cable to try?

Yes i do but i didn't think that could be the problem. It's installing the update now. If the problem continues i'll try that. What about the black bars? It wont fit the total image.

There is a setting that you can adjust the video position.

For tinkering purposes, if you have a spare microSD card, you can run different OS's on you box and not affect your original Android. Here is a video on how to use your box for different things, including Linux. You box makes a great LibreELEC media player.
