    Here we go!


    Edit:
    Sometimes i can't reflash too, only black screen. After several attempts (5-10 times) reflash goes OK.

      You can get it from here: http://unofficial.addon.pro/addons/4...load-4.3.2.zip (it is for WeTek Play but it's compatible with our devices).

      There is nothing unusual in your kernel log - actually it is almost the same as mine. Have you tried recovering your box using USB Burning Tool (you can find instruction on how to do this on Geekbuying blog)? Try flashing 107k4 image, the 109k7 does not work for me. If that doesn't help, I think you should return your MK808B+ and get a new one.

        Thank you!
        I will try with USB Burnning Tool and 107k4.

          With OpenELEC 5.0.7, I was getting "signal loss" at every change of screen, ex. when I changed channels or FF/RW. I started testing the versions from 5.0.1 through 5.0.7. Version 5.0.1 played without that problem, however I could not mount my external NAS. Version 5.0.3 worked very well and could mount my NAS. Versions after 5.0.3, gives me the "signal loss" at every change of channels. So, I am running 5.0.3. Perhaps you can see what the differences are between those versions, must be some kind of hand shake issue..

          Otherwise, excellent OS, thanks.

                With the hotplug governator my device almost the time uses only one cpu core and gets 40 or more degres ( i have coler in the device just for it ) and if i use de ondemand governator it uses all cores and the device is at 20 or 25 degrees.
                And the percentage of use of the all cores with the ondemand is almost 20% and the hotplug governator is almost 60% or more
                That's i said it work more efficiently and it doesn't spend mutch more energy by that.

                  Hi kszaq,
                  I've used a different version of Openelec on my all black OTT MXQ which works well but only allows me to use a 720p display. I tried your version and it boots up perfectly in 1080p. Would it be possible to add the 8188eu wifi driver and alternative remote.conf to your build? Thanks for the great work.

                    That's the reason it was disabled in unofficial addons in the first place. Try this one (it was compiled against 5.0.8): https://www.dropbox.com/s/nbkabmx0t6...4.3.2.zip?dl=0

                    You have to try for yourself, I don't have that box and can't tell.

                    Thank you for the input. I will make some more measurements then and you may change my mind.

                    8188eu drivers are included in the latest release (5.0.8). If you want to use a custom remote.conf, simply copy it to the Config Windows share.

                      Thanks kszaq! I now have 5.0.8 up and running.

                      This should be OK on your box as mine is similar.

                          I tried this but when you power off with remote you cannot power back up again unless you unplug and plug back in.

                            I got beelink mxq,which I flashed the latest OpenELEC build that's here,after flash complete ,box reboots and I get openelc splash screen on the tv ,just sits there ,what am I doing wrong .after 2 minutes or so,goes to Kodi screen .
                            Why it takes more than 2 minutes to boot into kodi ?
                            Is that normal ?

                              I have an MXIII and to get it to update I flashed openelec 4.9.7.2 then I reflashed with 5.0.6 and it worked every time I tried it....perhaps this will help you!

                                You can probably fix this by flashing a bootloader meant for your device. Here's how to do it:
                                1. Download a zip release from GitHub page.
                                2. Unpack it to a SD card.
                                3. Delete factory_update_param.aml and recovery.img files.
                                4. Grab a bootloader.img from your Android firmware and put it into the OpenELEC-Amlogic.MXQ.arm-5.0.x-update.zip file (overwrite existing bootloader.img).
                                5. Download TWRP recovery and copy it to your SD card. Rename it to recovery.img.
                                6. Boot using a toothpick and flash your modified zip. Do not "root" the firmware.
                                After this you may update using tar files and the bootloader will persist until next toothpick-flash.

                                It should boot much faster unless there are file system check operations being performed for some reason. Did previous builds work for you?
