[ROM] Mecool M8S Pro TVStock Nexus ROM (Android TV 7.1)

[supashaka]

Install AIDA64 from the market, run it and step on Android. Make a photo of the screen like this, to see what is your stock firmware.

1) I don't understand why I need to do this? I don't mind doing it, but since I'm new to android it might take me a few tries to figure out lol. I'm assuming by market you mean the play store?

2) Also, do I need a TWRP specific version for m8S pro? where should I download from? I'm assuming I have to sideload it?

Are those the latest? Is it ok that those are for "Pro L"?
Also. How do I know if I have ddr3 or ddr4?

Try to make an OTA Udate by your preference.

No, you can't revert to stock.
You must make a backup by the TWRP.

Oh!! So are you saying it would be bricked?? How exactly do I make a backup?

No, you will not return anymore to stock. The factory reset don't work in this manner. It removes all your custom apps on the furmware that is installed on your box!

Why do I have to make a backup (given that I just got it so don't have any data to save), and how do I do it? If something goes wrong can't I just click on factory reset to revert to stock?

That's the point. If your box is the same as Mecool, the OTA Update will be successful. So make a backup and try.
Copy the preferred zip on a flash drive and make the update (even by the apk Update, choosing local update, or by the TWRP, choosing install from zip).

Ok will try thanks, when I booted up it did say Mecool even though the seller said it is unbranded, and it also says mecool on the bottom. I just got the box today, the pre-installed kodi (tv centre) wouldn't actually find any links, only iplayer would, and it was really jerky streaming with buffering. So I'm going to try the OTA update of your linked ROM (instead of via the burning tool).

You're saying I should do a OTA instead of using the burn package? So I would download the file onto PC and what next? Hope you can explain how. Isn't the link exactly the same as the 1 in this thread?
