MECOOL M8S PRO TV Box Amlogic 912 Android 7.1 3/16GB Dual WiFi Fast Lan BT4.1

Hi,

@tßeboß Do you know if there are there any USB flashable firmware IMG files available for this device yet?

I have scoured wowenda, pannz and baidu bit have been unable to locate anything apart from the OTA zip files posted previously.

I can find many for other Videostrong devices, firmware built on same system that have the same naming convention, a few for example:

Vorke_Z1-NMF26Q-20170428.150912.V0222.img
KM8P-NMF26Q-20170411.213917.V0222.img
BB2_PRO-MHC19J-20170331.143515.V0923.img

Which makes me think there should be one out there for the M8S_PRO somewhere haha

I have also found a version of modded version of TWRP that works with 7.1 on this device from a Russian forum and there is a NAND backup of the original firmware available you can flash back to.

If I want to try messing around with the box or flashing any other firmware's I do not have the DDR, UBOOT and DTB which seems specific to this box as gxm_q20xrmii_3g and does not match an of the other 7.1 roms which I am guessing is due to the 100M Lan on this box.

Anyway, long post just to ask for firmware!!

Thanks, Bob.

I just bought one of these to upgrade from my beelink r89. It seems fast, but I miss the old Android home screen. Is there a way to get this box to boot to original Android home screen?

I've installed nova launcher. But at the first login I get m8s home screen. After, when I press "home key", I get nova launcher.

Does these upgrades include also a new version of Kodi (TV Center)? If not, how can I upgrade just Kodi, since the version is 17.0 rc and there is already 17.3 stable? The TV center upgrade that is already installed seems not working.

you could get directly from google play store (you find it in apps) or you could download from https://kodi.tv/download, save on a USB pen (of SD) and install with appinstaller (that you find in apps).

Like that I would install Kodi as a separate application and above all I would need to install whole bunch of addons again. It would not be an upgrade of existing Kodi (TV Center)

Does this box has the dark picture problem with Kodi 17?

If you want regular update, you should use Kodi or forks.
