Sorry if this has been asked already, but will there be a zip version of the final release?

Is there a way to install this on a MINI M8S II with a Mac?

Yes, copy it over to an sd card with your mac :P

My new Macbook Pro only has 4 USB type c-ports lol. So much for "pro". But is that how easy it is? I have the stock firmware. Do I only need to transfer it to a SD card and reboot? Is that it? I am a complete noob when it comes to android and android TV boxes.

A little more involved. I don't believe the boot card maker is available for mac, so you will need to bootcamp your mac. So grab a windows 10 iso, as a legit version will still work with no key, and go to town. Grab a USB-C Type C/USB 3.1/Micro USB/OTG TF Micro SD Card Reader from **** and you are pretty much set.

Hi, first I would like to say thanks to the author of this rom, it's really nice to have a community supported firmware. However, there is one thing that bugs me. Prior to installing the rom I played with device while there was still original firmware on it, and I also had LibreElec on a separate SD card. After installing the rom I cannot access LibreELEC. I did not mind making another card from the beginning, but I cannot boot from the SD card. Standard procedure to hold reset button to boot from SD card does not work. It seems like the reset button inside AV port doesn't work any more, and device cannot boot from the card, which is necessary in order to run LibreELEC. I also tried usb ports using card reader, but so far nothing works. Does anybody knows if there is any solution to this?

Try this: Launch the Terminal emulator app and type "reboot update" (without the quotes).

I just tested, and can't see any problem with usb drive, don't know if network drive works though.
Another thing not working on my device is bluetooth, 2g/8g A95X from gearbest, and I did not see anything in the OP saying that bluetooth is not working. I know there is plenty of different chip versions and perhaps manufacturer switched to a unsupported one in the meantime, but it would be nice to have a working bluetooth since there are only two usb ports present on the board.
Power buton would still be nice to have operational, but bluetooth imho is more important. I read trough the thread and I think I remember somebody said there was some solution where one can copy bluetooth files from original rom. Anyone have a working blujetooth that way?

Ok will try to reflash it again. Tnx. Thus your wifi works? What wifi chip you have?

[tuzlak]

I think it's 6330.

Edit: It seems it's 8723 actually, and perhaps that's the reason why bluetooth is not working.

Thats a newer one. If BT not workinf probably your wifi not working also. Are you sure its 8723? Try to open the box and see the wifi model inside

I'm not sure, but according to the official firmware's name there is a 8723bs chip inside. "cyx_NEXBOX-A95X_S905X_rtl8723bs_8g2g"
And 5 min later, yep, there is rtl8723bs inside, and wifi works just fine.

Here is a better picture.
