M8S Firmware 5.1

[starkido]

I have the rom for AKASO that has everything working but it is based on 4.4 and not lollipop. maybe someone can port the wifi over? I am trying to get the version to work with a touchscreen monitor, tried everything and no luck.

Hi, I went through about updating m8s in many ways. I managed to install Android 5.1 on my m8s (AP6330). But the framework was unstable, it does not work ethernet and remote control. WiFi worked OK.
Dolphin with dolphin jetpack enabled crashes on each site’s. firefox haven’t tool bar. No navigation bar, no status bar.
I installed the framework from this website:

I have to find another way...

sorry for my eanglish

I have an akaso m8s that this firmware worked on my box.I have ethernet and full remote but no wifi or bluetooth...i dont use either so lose to me.It is based off of 5.1.1..not saying it will work for you but i am happy and seems stable enough for everyday use..good luck..if you search you can find the 2.2 version or the built in updater worked for me

Hi guys, I also own this Akaso M8S Box and made wrong Update. Recovery is working but I can not find the right original firmware. Is is possible to help me and give me a link to the 4.4.2 original Rom?
Please help, thanX

The link above will give you lollipop but no WiFi or Bluetooth.. Try it but if you have to have WiFi.. I can upload a twrp backup of the original 4.4 firmware it came with

[messiahx]

Please send me this twrp backup of the original 4.4 firmware. The 5.1 I tried already, but I need wifi and bluetooth.

[Johnscrub2]

I will upload it and post a link to it as soon as I can. Maybe Sunday.....

Sorry it took me so long..this is the link for a zip file containing the backup,twrp recovery and uboot.I assume you know how to make a bootable sd card for this box...Unrar the zip...After making a bootable sd card using the uboot in the zip file..copy all the files from it to the root of the sd card.. Let me know if this works for you.I will leave the link active for two weeks.It is a little over 1gb..Good Luck

Here is the link to the original firmware (Android 4.4.2) for the Akaso M8S-S812 (WiFi Chip RTL8723BS) that I got from the seller since my box was stuck at the MBOX logo when I received it.

Extract and copy the 3 files on a FAT formatted SD card (SD Card Formatter recommended) and start the box with the SD card and the toothpick method.
Firmware installation should be fully automated without any user interaction needed.

Maybe some clever guy could make the 5.x firmware work with the RTL8723BS WiFi chip using this firmware ???

I have a OTT M8S BCM4335 Chipset and I have installed the M8S+ 5.1.1 firmware from China gadgets reviews and it works everything but the remote. I'm looking for the right patch.

I have the same box, are you saying you installed an M8S+ rom on the OTT M8S BCM 4335 and it worked? What steps did you follow? Can you give me a link to th exact rom you installed?

Thanks!
