i have the standard Eny M8 roundish one

I have exactly the same remote and it works for me without problems. Strange enough that it doesn't work on your box.

Hi Codesnake,

nice to see that you created Openelec for M8. Your installing instruction for M8 seems to be like the Mx before. Do I have to care about MTD as well? Or does it work on top of any Android Firmware? Whats about coming update?

And how do You like the M8 personally?

Greetings Thooky

Hi Thooky,
The installation procedure is not exactly the same as for MX2. Please read the instructions carefully. You don't need to care about MTD. The installation package for M8 already includes a bootloader and a recovery, so you may install it over any firmware.

And how do You like the M8 personally?

Greetings Thooky

Both MX2 and M8 play video files equally well, so you'll not see any difference. What I like in M8 is the ability to correclty sleep and wakeup from remote without a need of full tun off/turn on cycle, and the ability of the built-in Wi-Fi to work in 5GHz band, as the 2.4GHz becomes pretty busy now.

Would the m8 firmware work on this box by any chance

I don't know. But maybe someone already tested this firmware on that box.

Any tips on how to install this on M8N. Set 720p on finless 1.8 before enter recovery?
When recovery wipe factory reset , wipe cache / wipe nand etc ?

Hi Codesnake,

I've just try to install your package on my CSM8 2/16 (100% compatible with the round Tronsmart Vega S89), but :

- if I unpak (=unzip ?) your package on my SDCard, and boot into recovery ... nothing happens. And I can't do anything nor.
- if I just put your zip on the SDCard and boot in recovery, go into Apply update form EXT -> SDCard, and I choose your ZIP, then I got this error ...


Any idea to success to flash ?

Thanks a lot.

Fred.

This isn't for that... it's for EM8 boxes

Yes I know, but some posts earlier, codesnake said maybe it will work (802 inside) and need to be test.
The test is done, but it seems that the problem is just because the ref of the CSM8 device is not include in the package.

Originaly, in our build.prop, the ro.product.device is "k200", and in case of the CSM8 have been flashed with a Finless ROM, it's referenced as a "manta" (Nexus 10).

Perhaps just by adding these two ref into it's condition for installation of the ROM it will works for us too.
