[ROM] OpenELEC for Amlogic-based TV boxes (M8, MXQ, TV110, MX2/G18)

[polys]

Hey guys, maybe this is a stupid question for some, but is there a bulletproof way of connecting to wifi from the 1st try. I disable wired connection and enable wireless only, then try to connect but I always get some error. It will work at some point but only after I try 5-10 times (either by refreshing or re-entering the password etc). I'm on an M8 running codesnake's Openelec with XBMC 13.2

Can I install Openelec on AML8726-MX Dual Core TV Box Android 4.2.2 (Model HD18 S2 v1.1)?

Hi,

I just bought a AML8726-MX Dual Core TV Box Android 4.2.2 (Model HD18 S2 v1.1 - photos below).
I would like to install OpenELEC on it so want to ask if it is possible / how to do it?

I noticed on the http://www.freaktab.com/showthread.p...-Android-4-2-2 thread there were perhaps two or three people who had bricked their boxes. So want ask before creating an undesired paper weight!

Thanks in advance for pearls of wisdom.

This is probably a silly question....

Can I load Helix RC3 over the top of RC1 on this openelc instal or do I need to wait for Codesnake to release a package?

Anyone point me to clear instructions if I can?

Thanks

Val

Stuck at bootlogo

Hello. And thanks codesnake for the great effort.

I want to ask if there is a solution for my current problem. When i turn on the m8 box by the remote control it does goes on but i am getting no signal on tv. And the second problem is a lot of times when i restart the box i am getting stuck on bootlogo. Is there a fix for that or i have to wait for the new release of the firmware.

thanks

warlock09, that is the same box as mine. I have this OpenELEC rom installed with no issues other than the remote does not work correctly. I solved by using a Flirc unit.

Hey Guys,

I've kind of messed up the time on my M8, Basically it keeps saying 1970 and the time is wrong in the top right hand corner.

I think I know the reason for this but cannot manage to rectify it after trying a few things.

I was trying to configure a vpn the other day and accidentally clicked on the Timeserver #1, It wouldn't allow me to go back without putting a value in here, However, I pressed the home button and managed to get out of the input menu.

However, as mentioned my date and time is now messed up. Anybody know how to rectify?

Thanks
