but to use usb burning tool, the tvbox must be power up...this is the problem....Mine not give sign of life

It should get powered via USB-OTG once connected so it's definitely the best approach to try, short of shorting the pins

Try using USB Burning Tool. You can get a USB type-a male/male cable online for cheap.

How exactly did you install the new play store?

Nothing special. I downloaded the latest version from apkmirror (8.1.73) and installed it with apkinstaller.

Sorry I didn't see your message. Yes you can download it from that link that etoy posted.

I haven't had poor wifi on these boxes since like v106 or even earlier... wifi has been fixed a long time ago. There are some boxes that simply have poor wifi performance and the firmware will only help a bit.

I have switched back to v115. v112 has its own set of issues. Play store doesn't update, and the onscreen keyboard doesn't work half the time in chrome. v115 doesn't include the latest play store, but I managed to install the latest from apkmirror. And the keyboard works 100% of the time.

The only issue with v115 is the brightness problem I mentioned earlier.

BTW, there hasn't been a flashable img version of v115 until I found member AZW post it here: http://freaktab.com/forum/tv-player-...inim8sii_rv115

This way you don't need twrp.

Hey buddy. Can I please have a link for megabox v112 firmware? I searched for it and I couldn't find it. Also, is slow wifi fixed on that firmware? Thanks.

hi, it should be the one posted here

Got some time to update to v115, and while I like the new interface, v115 unfortunately has the same brightness issue as v109 and older. Picture starts out darker (Full/PC 0-255) then once a 4k video is played, the brightness increases (Limited/TV16-235). That is a deal breaker for me, so I'm going back to Megabox's v112. Megabox has a 4K bootup screen which automatically changes the brightness level so it won't change after playing a 4K video.

Also, Playstore is a newer version, but it's still not the latest version.

Also they have taken out the default internet browser which I love.

Ok guys I updated my box to 115.
For the people who have problems, I used the link from post #868
and the procedure from #872.
The link from post #874 didn't work for me.

Edit: Also checked play store and is updated too. So everything is ok now.

[soulfunkdjx]

Which is the link and the procedure to follow?
Is the same as posts #879 & #880???

Can we install it on every version of this box because I read that this model has 2 versions.

yes, there are 2 versions, but they have same firmware, it's compatible.
