MECOOL M8S Pro + TV Box Amlogic S905X Android 7.1 2/16GB Fast Lan, WiFi 802.11b/g/n

Yeah, I have three units and I've verified that they're all working just fine, but the last one I received was shipping back in July. I really do think that it's the eMMC 5.1 chip from the August production that's the source of this problem.

Another report here: I've got a S649 chip. I only booted stock firmware the first time, didn't check which version it was. I upgraded to Magendanz's ATV rom via OTA, without any problems. My device is working like a charm since then.

Here a picture of my device:

I will speculate only

Who ever was flashing the Boxes at the factory, not knowing the eMMC has been updated to 5.1 as 5 is EOL.
Flashed the old ones then new ones as they piled up so continue

Yep she'll be right mate

Purely speculation only

For the lazy ones: Samsung states that its eMMC 5.1 chip will be available in 64GB, 32GB and 16GB densities, just like its existing eMMC 5.0 options. The 64GB eMMC 5.1 memory module features a maximum speed of 250 MB/s for sequential data reading and 125 MB/s for sequential writes. For comparison, eMMC 5.0 allows for reads at 250 MB/s and writes at 90 MB/s, so the writing speed has been improved. Furthermore, random read performance has been boosted from 7,000 IOPS to 11,000 IOPS and random write performance reaches 13,000 IOPS, up from 7,000 IOPS.

First post here. I have followed this thread for a while as a guest, but decided to register to give you some information from a German forum that might give some additional information. Don't know if they can help, but might not harm. Quite some people ordered the Mecool MS8 Pro+ on 10. Sept from Gearbest and BG (almost same flash sale price) and now they are coming in while other orders are still not shipped yet. I received my Mecool from GB last week and it also has the 20170829.121614.V0321 FW. I didn't notice any freezing yet. No OTA or Custom ROM update. We didn't received any freezing problems in this German forum until now. Here is the thread, if you like reading German: https://www.mydealz.de/deals/mecool-...mment-14961854

Pics from German buyer of BG box. It has a SEC 713 chip. He soldered an USB to UART cabel on the MB.


Last but not least: a big shot to Guest (sounds German) for the great work, I am so tempted to flash your ATV ROM, but have to figure out this problem first

PS: direct translation: stomache dancer. love U to dance. cheers, mate
