Thanks.

Somehow beyond xbmc was removed after rooting with kingo root.. And some other, I think.

Really? That's strange. Well, I did trying with the previous method using the cr11s root (root for 4.2.2 ROM), the result, I only get half rooted. Then I root it again with kingoapp (without removing the previous root), that's why you choose 'root again' in kingoapp.

I see posts in v3 and v4 and i do not understand the subject.
Tks.

I had to open mine. Its easy 4 screws.

[andylcm]

may I know how to root it by Kingo root? I follow instruction but my PC keep saying not connected. I can connect the cs968 as drive, but kingo root just said not connected. when I check my laptop, I found that the device cs968m not installed properly, is that the problem? And is that correct if I connected through otg(or need connect usb port?)

First install drivers then connect usb in the otg usb
check connect to pc on cs968 and usb debugging start kingo wait for
a moment to connect hit root again

Agree to trevt, it's the only way by far to know excatly what board version you have.

IMHO, the important things that you should know is the chip of wifi and bluetooth you have on your board, (is it ap6210 or mtk mt).

The easiest way to know this if not, is by identify what date of firmware you currently use (from factory) (eg. 20140411 (ap6210) or 20140419 (mtk), or 20140313 (mtk) or 20140225 (mtk).

this video tutorial from asionIT
- bare in mind, since android phone have its own battery (power built-in) and screen, in this case (android tv-box), you have to plug in the adaptor (power supply) and connect the hdmi to your TV or LCD. Unlike flashing firmware that only need data cable.

rooting method is different from flashing method
