M8s s812 ap6330 no Wifi, no Bluetooth !

[M8SSS]

So I'd given up on this box and was considering tossing it the trash but thought I'd give it one last go with a 5.1.1 Rom.
I'd tried various 5.1 roms before and nothing would even boot.
Then I tried this one

and lo and behold it installed and it does not suffer from the boot logo sticking problem I had with most other ROMs.

When unzipped the archive is a zip plus twrp v3 recovery. I put these on an SD card, booted to twrp and just ran a zip install on the archive.
On booting the remote didn't work so I installed the 2nd Gen Square M8N remote file from here

using a wireless keyboard and mouse. Just boot to twrp again and run the install on the remote zip
So the wifi works but only connects at 65mbs on both 2.4GHz and 5GHz but the speedtest.net app reports about 45mbs on the web which is fine for most things I do with it. Bluetooth seems to work as well.
The ethernet does not work if anyone knows how to fix that? No one seems to know on the web.
All in all it feels quite solid and even runs Kodi 17.1 pretty well.
I'm glad I didn't throw it away now

Hello M8SSS, how did you flash this firmware? When I try to install it, TWRP says it's not for this device.

Thanks.

Edit: Solved. I can't run the installer from TWRP so I modified the 5.1.1 zip and the update script, I remove the line where it checks the versions and force the update. Now it works.

Thanks!!
