How can i install the twrp 3.1.1.0? I still have the 1.06 firmware if i remember right. The one i install via OTA. From there i haven't received any other. I was reading that this tv box has 2 versions. Is that 1.15 firmware functional in both these 2 versions?

save the recovery on a sd card. and put it in the box.
check if you have root access.
install twrp app from play store. that's what i have used (or use flashify or any other app).
install twrp recovery within the twrp app from file (which is on sd card).

i had ver 109 installed on my box.
updating through stock recovery didn't work.
so i have first installed twrp 3.1.1.0 ( https://1drv.ms/u/s!AoqocX31ecnXgZwNCL9pqWEsLDw_hg )
then i could install ver 115 through twrp without any problems.

I have update the Youtube for Android TV to 2.00.17. The new version works very well but doesn't support input from air mouse I can control it only by keyboard.
Any ideas? (firmware r115)

I see some custom firmware have built-in solutions for this box.
I have found for the "ENTER" key, also for permissions of writing the applications. And autoframe rate in kodi
There are many missing, like writing permissions without adding permission one by one all the apk.
Remove the top navigation bar on youtube.
Add button closes all to recent applications.
Troubleshoot RGB.
Solve contrast brightness.
And some more

As I say some custom firmware have these integrated solutions but I would like to fix it in my official firmware and not have to flash. Some solutions are in another forum 4PDA but the files are no longer.
It would be interesting to make a message with all these solutions. An index to be able to find it easy.

Yeah tried that too, still didn't work. Might try TWRP but really box runs fine for me with v112.

Hmm weird, that's what I did and it didn't work... I got an error when trying to flash, then it left me in recovery.

Only difference is I'm using a USB drive formatted to fat32. I'm also running megabox's v112 FWIW.

I'll give an sd card a shot.

edit: Didn't work either, hmm.

Inside 2017_06_01.rar there is update.zip, inside update.zip there is another update.zip. I have extract the second update.zip and copy it on SD FAT32, then I have use update app and select the update.zip. After reboot I get an error about update. From recovery I have select the update.zip of SD card then the update has been installed.

How did you install this from sdcard? Did you use the built in update app, or did you use sdcard maker?

There is a blue screen boot with 4K logo. I don't know if it fix brightness bug.

Thanks for sharing.

Do you know if this update has the megabox boot animation? Or do you know if this has the brightness fix?

This is firmware r115. You can install it from SD, it's work but I don't have a changelog. Then boot animation is change. (source 4pda.ru)
