You can install the OTA updates in TWRP. Just open Terminal and type "reboot recovery".
Thank you....it sounds easy enough ...but there are no apps called "TWRP" or "Terminal" that I can see in settings or the Apps drawer.
I noticed in one of the screen shots page 1 there was a "Terminal Emulator" icon...but I couldn't find this in the play store.
Sorry, I switched over to the standard Terminal app in AOSP and LineageOS. It's actually hidden until you enable it in Developer Options. https://youtu.be/TKIRXVhBvBY

OK...I have finally got the Terminal app setup.....I opened it up and typed "reboot recovery" and this screen came up. (see below)
Not sure what I had to do...and i'm always shit scared of doing the wrong thing...rather ask stupid questions first !!
Seeing those warnings & options made me panic and wanted to get out of it...but the remote buttons were useless in doing anything.
So I pulled out the power plug.
Luckily the box booted up again to the ATV.
As I first time user, I would appreciate any step instructions (from anyone) to install the OTA Stock Nexus rom 20170825.zip
Thank you.
Just swipe to allow modifications, click Install, select the source for the OTA update (SD card or USB flash drive with your .zip file), select the .zip file and swipe to install. When that's done, I also recommend using Wipe to do a factory reset.

Hi Guest, thanks for your patience.
I did the swipe to allow modifications, click Install, select the source from USB and swiped to Flash.....but it gave an error and did not happen.
Do you have a link for the Nano variant Nexus ROM 20170825 for the BURN PACKAGE.... I would like to try again using the BurnCard method.

Thanks for the link. I downloaded the Nano variant Nexus ROM 20170825 and wrote it to SD card with BurnCard Maker....and pressed the reset button while powering on ....and it started installing. It all went well and it looks very nice....clean, minimal and customisable. I'm quite happy using this for awhile....thanks* @Magendanz*
edit:
Have been using this for awhile now and really happy with it...it works perfectly.
OK, so hopefully Google comes out with the WPA2 Krack fix in the next release and Mecool releases an update for that not too long after. Looks like we'll have to update at some point.
Yes, both Nano and Stock variants. It's disabled in the TVStock variant, since that's an Android TV build (which isn't supposed to have a nav or status bar).
Hi Magendanz.
How do you think, its the possible to install this firmware(p21x V0619_Stock) on p212 board? I have z69 tv-box, and I try this firmware - uninterrupted reboot after few seconds after power on. But the firmware from p212 folder(U2+p212_V0321_Nano-20170730.img, for example) - works fine. But 0321 - very sparingly firmware(dont have root, very slow in some moments etc).
Yes, I could do that, but you'd give up Bluetooth. When I tried earlier to port V0321 to p212 generically, I couldn't get Bluetooth working even after adding the right kernel modules. There seem to be some precompiler directives that require a rebuild from source to enable Bluetooth.
I also tried porting the M8S Pro system image (which has Bluetooth), but even downgrading the Mali drivers didn't allow it to boot on the S905X. Gave up after screwing around with that one for a day.
Just wanted to thank you, Magendanz, for your great rom.
I was not happy with the stock 0815 that my box came with, or the 0919 firmware GB provided. 0815 was buggy and sluggish. 0919 was smooth, but it removed the status bar, linked the volume controls, and preinstalled Android TV version of playstore. Your rom fixes all of these issues.
My only problem is that I can't get the RSS Media Reader app to work on this box, but I've experienced the same issue with all 3 roms. I get a force close every time I try to play a video through the app.
Thanks! I'm glad that it did the trick for you. This V0619 from VideoStrong is one of my favorite OEM firmware releases, and it helps to have a great foundation.
First: Thanks four your Roms and great Support @ Magendanz
Please forgive me, if i have overread that information:
Is it possible to use your Roms (this and ATV), same twrp and option to boot libreelec from sdcard on the 905W (Mecool M8S Pro W TV Box)?
The Box is on sale atm, and the differences i found so far is only 4k (30fps) instead of 60fps and maybe no inbuilt bluetooth... (Gearbest says it has Bluetooth 4.0)
