possible newer firmware for H96 PRO PLUS / H96 PRO+

[karl_p]

My brother just bought a H96 Pro+ 32

Being not so tech savvy he asked me to set it up for him, in doing so I realised there are some suspicious apps installed; an updater with bad spelling etc.

I scanned the device with Malware bytes and found it was rooted maybe and had some malware on it android/Trojan.FakeUpdater.V

I think the trojan downloads ad supported programs from google play and modifies legitimate programs so the advertising revenue goes to the hackers.

I did a "Factory data reset" and the system came back up without any warning of being rooted after scan but still with the malware installed in "WifiUpdater"

I think I may need to flash the firmware and set it up from scratch but it's hard to find the right source? Many links to foreign websites, personal cloud storage accounts etc? Is there somewhere with legitimate firmware repositories for these devices?

The Device is "H96 PRO+ (q9377)"

Android Version: 6.0.1
API Level: 23
Security Patch Level: 2016-08-01
Bootloader: unknown
Build ID: MHC19J.20170308 test keys
Kernel Version: 3.14.29 (20170308)


UPDATE: It is still rooted

Need help : My H96 Pro+ not connected to PC. NO luck using USB burning Tool method.

I am googling for a firmware in zip format so I can flash using recovery mode. but no luck as will.

I hope someone can share a latest firmware that I can flash using recovery mode. Currently I have the firmware downloaded in .rar format shared by lesnessman.

Use the USB port close to power port and plug in power to H96

Let us know if you find a good way to loose root. I have DirecTV Now and app, it will not work on a rooted device. Tried Hide My Root app, but it didn't work

Finally I manage to flash the firmware but still crashing randomly.
Can someone suggest which other firmware I can try?

After flashing it crash when i connected to wifi. I pull the plug, restarted and seems the wifi connection was ok. After that random crash when i used kodi(17.1), disable video accelation and still crash, also crash when navigating settings menu. I also tried wipe cache/factory reset via recovery mode several time and now the box just show h96 pro+ and crash but still blue led on.

Do you think this is a hardware problem? Do you other firmware that i can try before retuning this tv box.

I appreciate you help. Thank you.

[lesnessman]

No crashing on this end, maybe reinstall kodi
