    Unbrick M8S (clone M8&M9)

    Hello all,
    Therefore, in this forum that I finally found a hint to share your experiences with unbrick my M8S. I`ve bought it at Aliexpress and from start did not work well so I decided to upload the new FW. Unfortunately, he did a brick. LED lights up only in red. I didn`t know what inside my M8S because there were any mark on the motherboard. Only the "M8 & M9_V_02 2015/05/21". I searched for other FW but nothing worked. I checked a dozen. But ... finally I succeeded
    First step:
    by USB_burning_tool (without power, just USB - though it probably does not matter, USB port close HDMI)
    I have loaded:
    cyx_m8s_v8.6_ap6330_8g2g_kodi_addons_ota_150908_US B.img
    ok
    LED lights up in blue but M8S stops at the first screen (Logo M8S Mali 450, etc.).
    Second step:
    by SD (even without Boot Card Maker only format to fat32)
    I have loaded:
    mat n200c (n200C-ota-20151110.zip).

    after a few seconds, Android Men started and M8S woke upJ))

    It`s not perfect because:
    1. does not read large drives (1TB), but less works ok - so it was like M8S was new
    2. does not work "optical connect" - so it was like M8S was new
    3. “video” does not work in the AV connect - so it was like M8S was new
    4. Kodi was 15.2 but not worked, I`ve loaded again and is ok
    5. BT and wi-fi did not work but LAN is ok
    5. The remote control works strange, because it has changed the volume buttons with home and info buttons and works slow.
    The rest of the function works very well, so I think M8S came back to life and I can normally use that.
    This is what does not work is not needed for me.
    But if anyone knows what to do to make everything work I would appreciate.
    Sorry that I didn`t posted links, but you can find recommended files on this forum.
    And sorry for my English.
    This can be useful to someone.

    Thank you to all who helped me (without knowing it

      Hello,
      Try this:
      http://pan.baidu.com/share/link?shar...dapt=pc&fr=ftw
      Instruction use baidu you can find at Freektab. You have to use JDownloader, I think.

          Thanks man, that's the only way I revived mine, with this zip n200C-ota-20151110.zip I made one sd card with amlogic sd bootcardmaker. After that I flashed the 5.1.1 rom of this forum https://translate.google.es/translat...7576%26st%3D80 look for the firmware 5.1.1 for pufganda (llc) file. I do not tried the network card cos I do not need it, but at least the system detects it. Rom seems stable enough alltroutgh it is made for the m8s+

          That's the only way I could revive my m8s, after been trying to flash via USB Burning tools every single ROM I found in this forum.

            This is the new lollipop firmware that seems stable on my m8s http://chinagadgetsreviews.com/downl...8s-tv-box.html . It is the same of the russian site.

              Hi pepelu22, do you have this ROM working on an M8S+ or just the M8S ?
              If you do have it working on the M8S then does everything work - WIFI / Bluetooth / Lan etc?
              Thanks

                I have it working in a M8S. Just tried Wifi, as the box is in hands of a customer, who just needs Wifi. Anyway, I will try it when I go to its home. I needed a spanish streaming app Yomvi working on this box, and the old 4.2 rom crashed. 5.1.1 works perfect with this app.

                    Firmware here https://www.copy.com/s/t%3Ap3VXnfIDp...rar%3Boid%3A35

                    But I have not tried that one, but it should work, as it looks an update to the one I installed.
