Use the Burn Card Maker to flash the box (credits go to Based_Skid and his AmLogic tools post).

What is working:
- USB Keyboard
- USB Mouse
- Bluetooth Keyboard
- Wifi 2.4
- IR remote that arrived with the box
- MX3 Remote (fully operational)
What is NOT working:
- HDMI Resolution is 720p, even though the MBOX launcher settings state that the box is running at 1080p. I tried switching between different resolutions without any effect.
Other firmware issues:
- SuperSU: At first boot, you will receive a notification: “The SU binary needs to be updated”. If you try to update the binary the box will get soft-bricked and you will need to re-flash.
- TWRP: Magendanz’'s twrp.p21x-3.1.1-0.img, posted at “TWRP for Amlogic devices”, works well – both Backup and Restore work. Download link: https://1drv.ms/u/s!AoqocX31ecnXgZx-RKW1MkpzTHfiWA.
- System settings state that the box has 2GB of RAM. Running the "free -m" in a terminal indicates that the box only has 1GB RAM.
LibreELEC
- Once I discovered that the box only has 1GB of RAM, I tried using the gxl_p212_1g.dtb device tree and managed to install LibreELEC on a flash card.
- Bluetooth works
- WiFi works
- HDMI Resolution: 1080p
Final Verdict: STAY AWAY FROM THESE BOXES!!!
