Mini M8S II 4K Smart TV Box Amlogic S905X 2/8GB WiFi 10/100 LAN BT

Hi, I'm struggling with how to get WiFi working on my a95x, the WiFi never turned on in stock, I installed xannytech hoping it would fix it. It didn't. I copied across the files in op for ap6330, but still did not work. What other drivers are there not included that I might need? I read an earlier post about ap6212 and ap6212A? Is there anyway to find out?

I hear the wifi reception is bad, but the lan connection should not have any problems ? I am thinking about ordering this device.

I think this s a hardware problem if is not working on different roms.

If your wifi never turned on in stock, then it most likely is broken. The wifi reception on the a95x is horrible anyways, and all these boxes should be hardwired, unless you do kodiloaded's wifi hack.

As some of you know, these S905X boxes have a brightness issue where it starts relatively dark, then goes brighter when you play a 4K video. I think I read that ROM developers simply incorporate a 4K video in the splash screen as a 'fix', until amlogic decides to finally fix it officially.

Anyway, is there anything on youtube that also causes this brightness change? Because as far as I'm aware, this box does not have an option to play 4k in youtube (maxes out at 1080p/60).

The reason I ask is because I experience this brightness change, even though I don't have or play ANY 4K content on my box, and therefore obviously I'm not viewing any 4K content to trigger this brightness change. I only use this box for streaming SPMC, youtube and chrome.

I would rather just keep my box outputting the darker picture, because I know that a simple setting on my TV can compensate for it (changing the RGB mode). It's kind of annoying when my box just randomly outputs a brighter picture that is not caused by a 4k video.

And yes, I have disabled amcodec in SPMC for anyone that was wondering.

Hello. I have a new M8s II 4k 2/16.
The sound works ok, in system (youtube...etc) and kodi, but when I try to play a local video file with VLC (or another video player) I have no sound. Video it's ok. If I try to play with kodi player it works. Can you help me please ?

When I play movies in the Kodi app for Android TV it seems to be darker than usual. Especially in dark scenes.
Is there still no fix for this issue?

[rahzel]

The 'fix' is to play a 4k video. This will change the RGB mode from 0-255 to 16-235. In layman's terms, it will look brighter.

There are custom roms in the firmware section that have this 'fix' built into the splash screen, so every time you boot-up the box, it will automatically set it brighter.

You need old file "remote.conf" from T95N /system/etc/remote.conf

Solving the problem with the "black screen" (black shadows or low brightness)
Thank you "crazzian"

1. Download the archive https://yadi.sk/d/94s27z7L33Uxuf
Select any video file!
2. Rename the video file in the "bootvideo", the extension does not specify (empty file extension).
3. Copy to Folder
\ System \ etc \

We confirm the replacement (if necessary, who is there before you can rename the file).
3. Expose the permissions 644 (rw-r - r--), if they are different.
4. In the file
\ System \ build.prop

Modifies the parameter to 1
service.bootvideo = 1

5. Reboot.

Hello my friends,

I made the above procedure exactly as it described . but now my box is bricked. It starts and it stacks at the beginning of the video file i choosed .
On the screen of my TV you can see only this



Now what can i do to revert to my previous fase? I have the 13.10.16 official rom and also a copy of the build.prop file. Is it possible to overwrite the changed built.prop with "original" one.
(By the way i will go to buy an A to A USB cable and i'm waiting for your help...

Hi Guys,

Just a quick question - has anybody come across a way to recover this Mini M8S II box from a hard brick? All was well with my box until a couple of days ago and it just started acting up so I decided to wipe it and start from scratch - flashed the original android firmware using the USB Burning Tool and all went well, it finished 100% but now the box is totally dead, the red light comes on in the optical port and no blue led power light. I've tried everything from a SD card recover to flashing again with the USB Burning Tool but to no avail. Has anybody any idea if the NAND short pins trick will work with this box?

Thanks guys !!

Shorting nan should work if you have correct firmware. Never the best solution but it works to bring life back to the dead.

[kalebroc]

Hi scooter2014 , I definitely have the correct firmware, I just don't know which pins to short on the nand? Can you help me with that? I've searched and searched the internet and can find nothing on this Mini M8S II box !!

Thanks .
