Hi u can use thex96 firmware ... its compatible.. or Try to get ahold of the box seller and ask for the firmware, than flash it.

Does your box get recognized on the computer? you could use adb to reboot the box into recovery. Im not an expert on these things, just a beginner but i think its adb reboot recovery

Hi thanks for the reply. Can you please give me the link for x96 and explain what software to use to flash it. Im good with computers etc but have never flashed the box. Please help me

Well before you try, i should warn you, there is a chance it wont work 100% so its on your resposibility. This is the firmware. http://freaktab.com/forum/tv-player-...m-probox-2-air. You can also use Libreelec, put it on an SD card to test it first https://forum.libreelec.tv/thread-3588.html

Edit: libreelec from sd card is the safest way and your chips is s905x not the s905

Most s905x are cross flashable and will only give remote problems usually. I use the Xannytech firmware on my x96 and it's perfect. You'll need the right remote.conf file though.

Make sure you unplug the box and hit start first on the program and then plug the usb cable into the usb closer to the hdmi port. You don'r need the power cable plugged in.

That only happened me once then i rebooted or else forced closed chrome and that fixed it. I'd use lucky patcher to install the latest play store too (I only used it to install the latest non modded stock one). That is the best build out of all the ones I tried the rest were unstable and slow. Also use spmc instead that works on mine.

[M96x]

I see. I will try tomorrow. What is spmc ? Do u mean xbmc ? Cant i not use latest kodi ? Like 16.1 . Can u also tell me why cant i not able to install other firmwares ? I tried more than 10 but only this one worked. I flash it using usb burning tool.

[steocullen91]

Some firmwares use different bootloaders that vary slightly and that's probably what's causing the issue. Spmc is kodi 16.1 with a few tweaks is all and it works better on these amlogic based boxes. Kodi itself doesn't have great support for these boxes anymore.

[M96x]

thank you so much man. your are the best. atleast i fixed my bricked box lol. do you know why other firmwares did not work ? the file you gave me the link, what is the difference between that and other firmwares that did not work. im just trying to learn . I want to see if i can find factory firmware or close to it to flash it again if possible. the google play is checking for info for ever now lol.
i do not see a file manager in this firmware ? can you tell me how do you end task apps running in the background ? usually there is a navigation bar in the bottom but this one does not have one.

[steocullen91]

Usually it has a bar you can pull up from the bottom. If not just download task killer from the play store. Some roms use different kernels and bootloaders. Uboot files and stuff are different on different boxes.
