Minix Neo X8/X8-H Stock BETA 008 in flashable ZIP format

[Finless]

OK folks. Minix is releasing their ROMs as flashable images using the AML flash tool.

Unfortunately Windows 8.1 users have problems getting the drivers installed and the flash tool working.
I don't have Windows 8 so cannot test why the drivers are a problem.

But.... here is the stock ROM in ZIP update format.

This is the Minix X8 BETA 008 - 8/8 ROM just released.

WOA! 8/8 was my birthday!
This has never happened before. e.g. a stock ROM release on my birthday!
Also take note. BETA 8 on 8/8.... Maybe some luck here or voodoo


NOTE: THIS WILL ERASE YOUR DEVICE! So backup anything you want to keep!
Minix is not releasing ZIP updates only flash tool updates. The flash tool erases the box!
There is a reason for this.
Major updates it is much better to erase as you don't know what junk is left from previous ROM that can cause problems! As people saw on an update that did not erase, things were not right like a missing stock browser, etc.

8 is a very lucky number
Prosperity and Wealth maybe a good sign for Minix or yourself.

TWEAKER

Hey Bob,

What about the BETA 008 tweaker? Any ETA on that? No sense in flashing update without tweaker!

[zeevg]

Where is the "Please" in that question ?
