    My desperate situation with M8S (m8 v8_1 20150418) SOLVED!!!! :)

    After a first brick recovering using Bootcardmaker and this firmware "cyx_m8s_ap6330_8g2g_150728_SD升级" i tried to flash OpenELEC-Amlogic.arm-M8S-5.95.3.3.zip but my mistake was i didn't extract the files which was compressed inside (factory aml , recovery.img and firmware zip) my recovery session ends with an error the installation from sdcard aborted. When i rebooted the box only blue led but no splash screen or video signal. Unable to access recovery with toothpick, no usb device discovered by windows (for USB Burning Tool) even if i press the recovery button...
    I m lost....

    Hello,

    Welcome to Freaktab.com.

    1.: What Version of Windows you are running?
    2.: Did you install the Drivers with USB Burning Tool?
    3.: You are sure you are using the Right USB Port?

    Regards

      Yes. On Windows 10 World cup drivers installed trough USB burning tool 2.0.4.3 setup and i used the usb port next the corner of the box not the port next the hdmi output. i used a toothpick to push recovery button and in same time plug the USB male-male cable to the PC and the power cable too but nothing appear... only blue led on front.
      please find a video of my box inside:
      Error 404 (Not Found)!!1

      I read somewhere we have to short some pins on nand or create a jumper on the board between USB port and HDMI. But with tons of m8s clones I don't which...

        Hello,

        The problem here is Windows 10, ​ It’s working also on Windows 10 / 8.1 64 bit, but you’ll have to disable driver signature enforcement to install the Drivers.

          Even if there is no drivers installed it should react when I plug the USB cable in! No? I m going to try and tell you. Thx

            OK. Still no detection using F7 to install unsigned drivers. Only blue LED on front and still no video output and no recovery access. I shorted pins 29-30 and with power no led at all.

              Finally my box is back to life!!!! Not far to go into the bin...

              i followed this procedure: i had to shorten 29-30pins of the nand then unshort when box detected by USB Burning tool in order to use this firmware m8s_ap6330_8g2g_150818_USB

              My problem is SOLVED

              NOTE: Shortening the pins is needed only if you have problems with device recognition (in Windows) and troubles with NAND flashing procedure. This trick will enable a special state to interact with NAND directly. Please, refer to your NAND datasheet to find the correct pin numbers for I/O0 and I/O1 pins. In my case it's 29-30 pins (H27UCG8T2ETR). Please, be carefull! It's on your own risk!

              Flashing procedure:
              1) Install the drivers and USB Burning tool first (refer to instruction in this thread).
              2) Check the connection: hold the recovery button, then connect device to PC using USB-OTG slot.
              If the device is visible in Windows - GOOD! If not - you should try a trick with a pins (see below).
              To test the connection - run Amlogic USB Burning Tool as administrator, if everything is fine - you should see the device connected in this tool.
              Disconnect the device.
              3) Prepare the firmware in IMG file. Make sure it's ok
              4) Hold the recovery button on your device (I've used a wooden stick), then proceed to the next step:
              5) (powering up)
              a) Without shortening pins: Put USB cable into USB-OTG slot to power-up the device. You should see the new device dialog in Windows and connection in Amlogic USB Burning Tool. Goto step 6.
              b) With shortening pins: Shorten the 29 and 30 pins (refer to your NAND datasheet) with a needle (or some thin metal) and hold it, then put USB cable into USB-OTG slot to power-up the device. When LED powers-up - stop shortening! A new device dialog will display, and you will see the device connected in Windows and Amlogic USB Burning Tool.

              6) Now you can un-press the recovery button.
              Check device connection in Amlogic USB Burning Tool.
              Flash IMG file (refer to instruction in this thread).
              After you will successfully flash the IMG file, press Stop button, then remove USB cable from USB-OTG port
              Thats it! Your device now should boot fine!

              In case of errors I suggest you to use Force Erase All option, and check the connection.
              Using a good USB connection is very important!
              There was a problem with my USB connection at the first time, so I had to change the cable to good and short one, and after that its worked fine.
              So, you should try to change the cable first in case of this errors:

              UBOOT/Partition boot/Download buffer/Data tranfer error
              Romcode/Lead UBOOT/Download UBOOT/Data tranfer error
              USB error occur when transfer buffer at Uboot Partition

              NOTE: After you have flashed the image, you will be able to flash your regular firmware from zip (from recovery).
              In case of fail, you can use Amlogic USB Burning Tool to start all over again

                please, I needed that firmware, you'd be so kind to give me a link that works.
                Thank you.
                a greeting.
