Which TWRP version for M8S (N200C with AP6330 / Motherboard = CS_812M8_V1.3 / rounded remote)

[HowieT]

Which TWRP version to do I use to backup via SD card on my M8S, it is 100% stock, and I wont be flashing the recovery. I will run TWRP via SD only!

I want to do a firmware backup and total backup for safety. As I have seen a link for latest firmware, and I might try it to see if "google remote" is fixed.

I have remote working via CEC (Samsung TV), RemoteIME (Samsung A3), and KORE inside Kodi (Samsung A3).

Current build is KOT49H.20151208 test-keys

Details of the box, as I understand there are many many versions.

• M8S = N200C with AP6330
• Motherboard = CS_812M8_V1.3
• Rounded remote
• Not the massive heat sink!

Above is taken from the motherboard directly and CPU-Z, I have photos if needed...

TWRP_2.8.7.0_N200.img OR TWRP_2.8.7.0_N200_emmc.img

I have read most posts but can not see the answer to which TWRP I need to use.

Loving my M8S box!

Ok, I will update my own thread...


Neither of those worked, BUT we have good news! The M8N did work fine via SD card "renaming to recovery.img" and "toothpick method". I got the advice from a Russian site searching for an image of my motherboard.

I competed a backup, wipe, reset, stock backup and full restore to original backup. BOX TICKED

TWRP 2.8.7.0 M8N

Hi HowieT,

Did you manage to backup the stock? Possible to share?
I'm having the same box, however I don't have the backup and my box is semi-brick (Ethernet not working) and wifi AC not running at fullspeed.

If you don't have the backup, did rooted the box?
Possible to extract the system directory, I would like to confirm if the files for wifi are correct? It is store in /system/wifi

Thanks.
