[miguelosgcv]

Hi.

This Works in the KM8 Pro, it has the board q20x, it is very similar only that this brings different network cards. (chipset RTL8211F from Realtek)

• SoC: Amlogic S912 - Cortex A53 octa-core
• GPU: Mali-820MP3 750MHz
• RAM:2GB DDR3
• 16 GB eMMC
• WiFi: 802.11a/b/g/n/AC
• Ethernet: 10/100/1000 Mbps
• 2 x USB 2.0
• HDMI 2.0a

So if you have a different wi-fi chip, it means that you will be unable to use the wi-fi, this is not very cool. Another point to consider is that sometimes even try a similar Chipset, in some cases cause the device death, but if you know how to do unbrick this should not a very serious problem.

The TX9 as with the VORKE Z6 do not work at all, Bricked the Box had to jumper the pins to recover.

There are others that worked but the Mini M8S Pro " MINI-M8S-PRO-705N0-LTM8830.img" seems to work the best so far.

Strange, it works just fine on my M8S Pro 3/16Gb...
The only thing which doesn't work is the LAN network, but I use it on WiFi anyway.
It's much better firmware, as it has proper "stand by" mode, also HDMI Self-adaption etc.

If you diff the DTBs, you'll see what you need to tweak to get Ethernet working again. It's a pretty small change.

What firmware exactly works on your M8S Pro? Vorke Z6 or TX9? I tested the Mini M8S Pro not liked much, mainly because the remote control does not work. I also did not like the Launcher.

Verified it BRICKED my 32gb unit if you can get it to burn at all, The only way I can get it to burn is to uncheck erase bootloader but it is bricked when done.

But my 32gb has some kinda problem since it don't like the Stock Rom that is running on my 16gb Unit.

You can use the remote.conf from the stock firmware it need to be put in /system/etc/remote-mouse31.tab then the remote will work, As far as the Launcher at least you can change it to whatever you like for the most part.

Interesting, I found something easy to do, but I still need to know what different firmware you installed on your M8S Pro, was it the Vorke Z6 or the TX9?

Vorke Z6

@magendaz can u make a firmware based on the above mentioned firmware so that we all get same features.

Good Idea!

Hmmm....so you want me to ditch the VideoStrong OEM firmware as a foundation and move to the Shiningworth All-in-One firmware, like I did on the GT1? I could do that, I suppose, but there's a Bluetooth audio issue that I'd need to fix on the Shiningworth ROMs first.

I know it's complicated, but it does at least one "beta" for us to test. I do not know exactly what the problem is with bluetooth audio, but the current ATV build of the M8S Pro sometimes causes a bug in Bluetooth by completely reducing the volume. Anyway, it would be cool to put it on the "scales".

Also there is issues with Wifi if bluetooth is enabled, in the latest m8s pro ATV firmware. Not sure if its only me. But i am able to get proper wifi when bluetooth is disabled

Vorke Z6 OEM Firmware Tested on my M8S Pro

Working almost perfectly on my M8S Pro, remote control works ok, bluetooth sound box connected, no problems even though I have not tested the sound. Deep sleep option works ok, about 3 seconds. The only inconvenience is the WI-FI that went into infinite loop of connection and disconnection after using the bluetooth once, even turning off the bluetooth and restarting the device the connection does not stabilize.

After some time, the wi-fi stabilized the connection, I took the test and YouTube was playing in Full HD, soon after I connected the Bluetooth box and the connection remained. At the moment WI-FI and Bluetooth keep working at the same time. Soon I will test the ATV firmware for Vorke Z6 and count the result here.
