Hey guys, I unzipped the stock firmware from may 12th, to edit the config file for the 5ghz wifi fix. But when I re zip the firmware. I get a footer error when I try to flash it, how do I fix this.

Have you signed the new zip file?

i just noticed that if you turn the wifi on and off i get the same 65mbps speed as my other firmwares but it randomly dropped to 52 and back up to 58 after checking it a few times. It always gets the same speed as other fw if I turn the wifi on and off. Test that and see if you get the same results.

edit: just checked it again and it dropped to 13mbps lol turned wifi off and on.. back to 65 but there is def something wrong here.. it isnt a stable connection

edit: ran the 5ghz patch from bob and tested again. According to mbox settings(with color buttons on top) 5ghz band is showing 2/4 bars but in the android looking setttings page it says 3/4. I run same test on 5ghz and i get 18mbps consistently whereas 2.4 band gives me 8-10 with 4/4 bars . The 5g patch may have resolved this wifi issue im not positive though. I doubt it has any affect on the 2.4 band unless im mistaken

About the "5ghz patch from bob". Where can I find/download this patch?

New firmware

Hi all!
I did a firmware, because i really need the paid apps. (Full firmware)
http://www.220volt.hu/temp/upload/playa/m8/TM8_AP6330_20140517_Lifeforce.rar

- deodexed
- fixed a bug that not download paid apps (unfortunately, only a trick but it works)
- Google apps update
- root (su running as a daemon)
- Added init.d support
- Fixed Wifi problems with 5G
- Very unnecessary files removed (Chinese game)


I did not want to implement major changes (next time), people love to factory state.

Sorry my bad english

testing it now and can confirm google paid app installs and 5GHz wifi works but the blinking led problem is back. I see the firmware was compiled may 6th. Could you make these same tweaks to the newer may 12th Acemax firmware that fixes the blinking led issue?

we also need the tcp buffer size increased alot so we can get full ethernet speeds. thanks!
