    I went back to OEM v0619 Firmware and then flashed the newest OTA UPDATE ATV ROM again.
    Thanks.

        Hi, anyone tried installing xposed module found here: https://forum.xda-developers.com/xpo...arm64-t3639221 ?

        I need a working xposed for fake wifi connection. I am using the LAN ethernet connection but some apps needs wifi as connection.

        _______________________________

        Update : xposed installer confirmed working!

          Hi,

          Gearbest posted over in the L thread but I think this may be a useful place to repost it

          Sounds helpful.

          I think I and GB posted in the wrong thread really - probably need this contact most in the + thread ....
          Maybe someone can draft a "class issue" letter about the batch with flashing issue, noting the SEC Nos. and OEM FW Numbers. Also to point out that it happens with the OEM FW that is advised by GB as a first step ....

            I sent mail to Anny back in September when we started narrowing it down to the specific Samsung eMMC production batches, so I'm pretty sure they're aware of the issue.

          Is it true the defect is repairable with a little soldering? Or was it about another M8S something?

            I found that when the box is set to 4K 60Hz, the screen becomes unstable and will blank out and flash. I changed to 4K 24Hz, and then the screen will become stable. I tried two different high speed 18Gbps HDMI cables, and the issue remains, so I think it is the box. My HDMI cable was used on my UHD bluray and it plays UHD 60Hz without issues (yes, it is 60Hz Billy Lynn Long Halftime Walk UHD disc). Firmware is Firmware Stock OTA MECOOL M8S PRO PLUS ANDROID 7.1.1 AMLOGIC S905X 2GB/16GB TV BOX 20170927. Anyone else experiences the same issue? Thanks.

              I just opened my box again and I think it is the same as your second one. I have that same BB-ROC170811PS sticker and the eMMC is also the SEC 701 , KLMAG1JENB, B041, S558Z034. My box is running smoothly with the the Magendanz ROM, installed from the OTA app (forgot to check the wipe checkbox).

                I think you were lucky, or maybe I was unlucky ??
                Do you also have D/G marked memory chips ?

                        This might be a very good move by the Freaktab Mods or knowledgable Devs. because there are some M8S Pro+ users in my home country that are currently being refused refunds from Geekbuying who are an official Freaktab advertiser I have now found out.

                        I've directed them to the Freaktab - Geebuying Vendor support section and told them to link back into this very thread so Geekbuying can become very aware of the issue.

                        Flashing an OTA update using an inbuilt Android update App should NOT kill any Android box permanently.

                        Refunds should be given no questions asked concerning well known faulty products such as the eMMC problem on the M8S Pro+

                          We dont get involved. Posting all over your wants /thoughts doesnt help. Post your order number issue in gearbest thread. Keep the laundry in the proper spot. No proof of what you claim.

                          Post in the correct location and if you paid with pay pal its a normal process. I am still little in dark of this issue seems some flashing wrong firmware and cant get back to L1 and pissed off for it thats not a defect.

                          I now have 6 of these ordered 2 more to see if i can see whats up here to. But one was dead after 2nd day refunded next day by gearbest i didnt even need to post a complaint in Thread.

                          So go post in thread with your order number and list the issue with that order. Thats why it was set up here to help.

                          Where is this thread of which you speak, it sounds like a great idea that I happen to have never seen ?
