1. First of all - is Your box power plug must be reconnected to boot properly?
2. Give us photo of the device PCB.

Okay so basically what I've got is 7 of these boxes they came stock with 4.4 KitKat which I did not like I updated to 5.1 lollipop but then the remote didn't work any longer then I updated remote file and the remote would work to power off the box but not power the box back on so then I discovered openelec it seems when I have it running on these boxes amazing the problem is is whenever I upload doesn't matter which openelec file for my box I can't get one that works everything meaning Wireless ethernet and remote don't really care about what version of Kodi just want all three of those things working together every time I think I've got it it's missing one of these things working the most recent one I tried 6.5 .11 I believe it worked great but then when I shut off the Box it wouldn't cut back on so I had to toothpick method to restore the box back that's not a problem anymore I have an SD card ready to pop in to restore a bricked box my problem is I can't seem to find an openelec version like I said that will work with all three.

Ok. Check this link:

In this thread you have a lot configs for remote controls. You can update it via toothpick method (this will update only one file in your OpenELEC installation). I don't have Your box, but personally I think, that You need to update cyx-m10-bcm4335-8g2g remote package to get remote control working. If not - try one after another... Maybe someone will work.
Or You can copy file from downloaded patcher (remote.conf) to Configfiles (via Samba) or /storage/.config via WinSCP and reboot device.

BTW. Personally I trashed my remote control - there is "Yatse, the Kodi / XBMC Remote" on Google Play and for me this is much better than any remote control.

Your right thats is the file ive been using to get remote back working how would i install that with openlec do i install openlec then remote file then boot? or install openlec toothpick boot then toothpick install remote then reboot?

[lakesr]

what version of openlec do you recomend with my M8s+?

I think, that there is no difference between this two options. The only thing You should know is to apply patch after OpenELEC installation. That's all.

what version of openlec do you recomend with my M8s+?

This one: http://amlinux.ru/image/6.95.1/OpenE...s-6.95.1.1.zip
There are some crashes, but this version if fully acceptable for daily use. If You have one already there is no need to flash OpenELEC image once more.

when u say apply remote patch do u mean after in installs do toothpick method again and install the remote zip? then after reboot everything should be good?
