    Sometimes apps freeze (especialy Chrome) and get "app stopped working" massage. I don't think my chip is from this bad batch, 'cause it is eMMC 5.0.

    Does anyone have the same chip and did make an update?
    Hi,

    What is the CODE for that chip from eMMC Check if possible?
    Data online says 5.0 chip - Probably OK

    Try an Update using inbuilt OEM Updater and OEM FW just to check it flashes OK before any Custom ROM Installs

    Ref. Crashes - Check your Chip Temp (AIDA64 ATV or Std) after some app usage (Video/YouTube/?)
    I get more random crashes with the lid on - waiting to re-fix the heatsink with proper thermal glue ....

      Maybe someone can help.
      I have a affected Box. I've downloaded the full fw through Amlogic update.exe "mread" command
      So after trying the ATV FW (without success) I want to go back to OEM FW.

      I'm able to write all parts back successfully exept the bootloader. Here I got this failure:

      update partition bootloader D:\m8s\bootloader.img
      file size is 0x2000000
      AmlUsbTplCmd = download store bootloader normal 0x2000000 rettemp = 1 buffer = download store bootloader normal 0x2000000
      AmlUsbReadStatus retusb = 1
      Downloading....
      Return buffer=Alg[ef]0x: genSum 20000 != org 0 at seq ab0, len 10000, resend 0

      Return buffer=Alg[ef]0x: genSum 20000 != org 0 at seq 1450, len 10000, resend 0

      Return buffer=media error 1 at seq 8176

      Return buffer=media error 1 at seq 8176, resend 1

      Return buffer=media error 1 at seq 8176, resend 2

      Return buffer=media error 1 at seq 8176, resend 3

      AmlWriteMedia failed
      [update]:Cost time 2Sec
      [update]:Transfer size 0x1ff0000B(31MB)
      ERR:write data to media failed



      Does someone have hints?!

        Hi,
        thanks for the tips.

        The chip code is 8WPD3R.
        I have been looking for OEM FW but I only found update for 2gb ram/16gb rom, and I have 1gb/8gb rom box version. Is there any difference?

        I'll check temperature and let you know later.

          Guys.. I am new
          I order on of this box from geekbuying its on the way.
          I want to check if I have a effected box.
          How you find emmc number Do you have to open the box ?
          If I dont upgrade and just use the box as is, Is this box gonna be stable or I just wasted 50$ ?

            Thanks for info.
            I think it is the same FW for both versions. Expert will hopefully confirm/deny !!
            : ) I have checked temperatures and it's around 70*C after watching netflix and youtube and later installing some apps.

            Yes, you have to open the box.

              See Post # 1015
              eMMC (Brickbug) Check app
              Check with app before opening.
              New boxes seem to be fine especially if with Kingston Chip (No Reset)

                P.X.

                Could you advise where to purchase "New boxes seem to be fine especially if with Kingston Chip (No Reset)" I.E. name of company selling what may be good eMMc chips in the M8S pro +

                Unit I have came from GearBest, was ordered late September and has the bad eMMc Sec 713. So looking to order again to get a unit I could use with firmware ROMS.

                Thanks in advance.

                      I added M8S_PRO+-ota-20170919.150557.V0619 firmware yesterday, is this the latest firmware? I noticed on the geekbuying blog that it says it was updated yesterday but when i downloaded the zip it says 2017/09/19 on the file. Cheers.

                      I've installed it on my problematic box using SD card method, but it still freezes randomly after few minutes.

                        Good boxes (from before and after bad batch) are good. Does nothing for bad batch.

                        I have been in contact with VideoStrong (probably not the right dept.) and my contact said "What issue?"

                        Still going back and forth with emails ....

                        Must say my good boxes are GREAT.
                        Remember when everyone said no way NetflixHD and 4K YouTube ..... !
