          Samsung v0.92 but strange radiator...

          Hello,

          I wanted to buy an M8 on aliexpress but before buying I asked the selleer to take photos and here what he sent to mo. That's quite strange because there are samsung chips but the central radiator doesn't seem to be the good one...





          Do you think it is a clone or not ? If it is not one, what v1.0 brings compared to version 0.92 ?

          Thank you

            Why not just order from eny or acemax on Aliexpress if your worried about which board you'll get?

              Maybe because I didn't know that ENY had a store on aliexpress. I searched right now and I didn't find it.

                Worst. Clone. EVER

                Hi all, long time reader - thought I'd create an account and share one of the worst clones I've seen, seriously just look at that gumdrop capacitor and useless wifi/BT antenna!



                I've called the supplier out on it as it was advertised as fully loaded with 2gb ram when it only has 1.6gb, etc. and they've given me a full refund and told me to keep it, thinking I'll repurpose it as an emulator / games machine as it plays N64 emulators better than any of my previous android devices (I've owned / dismantled more than I care to admit to!)

                I can't access recovery and every time I try to flash a new firmware (finless ROMs and Amlinux) it displays the android guy and a scrolling progress bar then it boots back up into a wiped factory restored install. OTA update doesn't work either (but then it wouldn't, with it being a clone) - if any of you gurus have any idea what I could do to successfully flash a new ROM to it I'm all ears! Says it's rooted in CPUz and was advertised as such but titanium backup says otherwise - easy root method gives same results as above.

                In addition to the above XBMC is sketchy, wifi and ethernet drops all the time (although speed test app shows full 40mbps speed, so probably down to intermittent dropped packets/quality than speed issue). Wasn't even the cheapest so foolishly assumed it was good! I'll stick to Aliexpress and avoid **** specials in future!

                Cheers

                  Here is a couple pics of my Diaotec M8N, when it boots it goes to amlogic screen, then mbox logo. It took the s89_root_update with no problems. Doesn't drop wifi or ethernet connection, hasn't froze or rebooted yet.
                  Here is the link i got it from:

                  It has samsung memory chips, but the PCB ID says 20140918
                  Anyone have any idea what this is and is their a safe rom for it?

                  edit* finless 1.8 installed ok, first tried to install it via the update app and it got stuck in a bootloop, so held the reset button and powered on tell i saw the logo and let it install finless again and it is working fine, great to have a normal android ui back.

                    STAY AWAY from blutimes, lightinabox, newdealstore, & highdigital

                    STAY AWAY!!!!! from
                    blutimes,
                    lightinabox,
                    newdealstore,
                    & highdigital


                    They are all horrible sellers from China on ****!!!!! All of their boxes are USED pieces of garbage. 40% of them will not boot into recovery. Please DO NOT feel that these sellers are the best that you can do. If you get a USED unbootable box from **** that is listed as NEW return and KNOW that you can get a U.S. stock box that actually works!!!!!! Stay far away from ****.com PERIOD!!! They are letting these Chinese sellers list bad boxes and sell and then they are reselling the returns from the shipping center without sending the defective models back to China!!!! These boxes are not what you should be getting. Order them new. If you contact me, I will give you a U.S. stock seller to buy them from. When you receive them, they will work on the Android Kernel that is delivered, no need to flash a different ROM, unless you want to, and then, guess what, you are free to flash. Unlike, the Chinese sellers listed above. They are plotting against you to destroy your box flashing pleasure.

                      hello guys

                      did any one experienced wifi signal dropping?
                      right now I'm using ethernet connection - it's better but still working slow!
                      can this be solved with any software rom mod?

                          Hey guys, can anyone help me to identify this m8 box please. On the back panel it says M8N. I would like to flash finless but was hoping if you guys can identify it first. Thanks all. https://www.dropbox.com/s/0fkpv1k7ap...81946.jpg?dl=0 https://www.dropbox.com/s/bo45rtbb4c...81830.jpg?dl=0
