I was using this box for a while and then left it for a while. I just brought it to my other home but forgot the original remote and just bought the Rii airmouse. I decided to factory reset the box and now I find the box is asking for the original remote in order to start up first time.
Is there a way I can get the box started with just an airmouse?
Yes , just use Magendanz's [ROM] Mecool KM9 TVStock Nexus ROM (Android TV 8.1)
is a very good custom rom and if the remote is not reconized just plug a mouse and a keyboard that should fix it:

I booted into tthe recovery but I need the remote to selet the update option. I did manage to pair the Android TV remote from my phone by connecting the box using the ethernet port. That didn't get me in either so I am still stuck on this screen.

I found a cable in my cable box and after many failed attempts to download any of the images successfully I finally got the non-ATV nano ROM and now my box is working again. Thanks.
I have tried to use Nova Launcher but pressing the home key on my airnmouse always returns to the stock launcher. My airmouse volume buttons also do not work which I think someone else mentioned on these forums. Maybe I still need the original remote afterall.
My main reason for not wanting to go ATV is that apart from Kodi the only other apps that I really want are the UK TV apps, BBC iPlayer, ITVHub and All4. I just got this reply from the BBC when I asked about iPlayer. Obviously, VideoStrong are not yet the kind of company that would feel it worthwhile to apply for such approval but does that mean that spoofing the box as a Shield TV would mean I would find all the apps I am looking for.

After all the issues I went back to ATV, thanks again Magendanz, the remote now works.
Interestingly to me after installing ATV 8.1 through the update app, I landed in TWRP, I hadn't realised the recovery had been replaced, chose to wipe data and cache and still when the box booted it was connected to my WiFi, signed in as me and had all the previously non ATV installed apps. As quite a few didn't work, YouTube etc, I factory reset and then just sideloaded all the apps I wanted. Now I think the box is working more or less OK.
I own 2 Minix boxes so knew that this was going to be an experiment with some trial and error to get things working properly.
