NEW - Finless 1.8 for EM8 Square Box

Thanks mate, did it. really odd though.
Anyway it does work great, the only problem is when i try to shut it down i reboots but i can live with that...
Is there any app to use my smartphone as a remote for it?

Yatse for xbmc..if your talking about xbmc..on google play store..xbmc remote on apple apps store..

Installing Finless rom wont work

I tried every possible method to install Finless's rom but nothing works. Maybe a change in the latest stock rom prevents it. It looks for a file signature.

Addendum

The picture shows the s89 root file but the same thing happens with the finless rom.

I fixed my issues...

I just install the rom for my box m8 using option 2 from read me first and then I finish doing the update, 1080p image stayed fixed on TV and does not respond to anything, as I can fix this?

I fix my M8 issues following these steps...

1. Download the firmware and extract it, I use the ENY Em8 ap6330 8g2g 20141208.zip
2. Copy the files (factory update param.aml, k200-ota-20141208.zip, and recovery.img) to the root of an SD card formatted with FAT32
3. Insert the SD card in your S802 device. My OTT TV Box M8.
4. Using a sharp non-conductive object to press the recovery button, In M8 (aka TM8), this is located in the AV connector, and I used a toothpick to press the button. Keep pressing, and connect the power, waiting for an animated Android with a progress bar showing firmware upgrade is in progress.
5. The box will then automatically reboot, and start with the new firmware. You’ll then go through a wizard to select your language (simplified Chinese, UK English, or traditional Chinese), adjust the screen size, and configure the network (Wi-Fi or Ethernet)

This method might also work with any Amlogic S802 based device. However, even though Tronsmart Vega S89 hardware also features the same type of recovery button via the AV output. Thanks!!!

press the reset button in the port to get in to flashing mode , then do a factory rest . May due to residual files from the stock rom .

M8 Won't go past spinning logo

Can anyone help?

I have just been through the whole thread and can't see a solution yet!

My box was flashed with JM 1.5 and was working fine but when I flash Finless it gets stuck on the spinning logo and won't go any further. I can re flash to another ROM without issue, I'm now on codesnake OpenElec and that works great!

I used method #1 and method #3 same issue both times.
