Please help me identify my board

New board

My father bought this device a few weeks before me from the same seller. It had xbmc installed like mine but my version was customised ie had xbmchub customisation....I guessed he probably had an earlier board. Today I opened his up and he has the same board as me. His has stock firmware. We now have links to stock firmwares for this board. Would it now be pointless to backup my fathers' firmware for the scene. If not, is there a link to a tutorial and the software needed to achieve this with windows 8?

Custom ROM

Are there enough users with this model to have a custom ROM or OC Kernel made?

@rascal72 there is a rockchip flash tool listed somewhere on this forum for backing up stock firmware

Hello, I'm a new owner of this "MK918" model.
One word to say, the Ethernet is a pure crap !
This is a USB 1.1 to Ethernet converter directly inside the motherboard.
The maximum speed is 12Mbps ( 1MBps) ... not enought for stream a 1080p movie...

I have the stock firmware, if it can help someone.

The CPU is capped @1.4Ghz so it is the RK3188T.

I will work on making linux working fine on it. Linux kernel need to know where does the ON pin of the wifi and audio board are.

See you !

Hi, you need to remove the rubber feet to reveal the 4 screws, undo them then prise the case carefully apart and take a picture of the PCB and model number. Someone will tell you the model and which firmware you need.
