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

[suppenkasper]

Hello,

how shall I bring this for in?

I can't burn it via USB unless there is no device in windows recognized.

Via SD card is not clear how I need to do it on a bricked device.

As I tried to explain I just see the red and blue light at the same time independent of pressing reset button or shortcut "K1"

Is there a Maskrom Mode?

On the Prime usage, did you find a solution.
I have tried several of the "prime apks" on a M8S pro + and -W none seem to work
so I am still looking for a solution.

Prime Mobil will not play for me.
I might try via a Browser and see if it will work?

I'm asking a question which I admit to not fully understanding but do you know if its possible to implement in your builds support for standard Google Mediacodec rather than Amlogic Amcodec? While not new news, starting with Kodi Krypton, Kodi Android builds no longer supports Amcodec meaning using most Amlogic Android boxes as Kodi PVR frontend results in unreliable deinterlacing and mpeg2/ h.264 1080i hardware decoding. The work around is to use an old version of Kodi or LibreELEC but is there anything you can do in your firmware to support Google Mediacodec?

Support for Google Mediacodec is desirable. Most IPTV apks works really bad because lack of it.

I used the prmvidlnch.apk and it worked for me, but the direct download has been deleted so now you seem to need to use Puppetmaster to get it downloaded.

from post in another thread

PRMVIDLNCH.apk

Works but low res - may be a newer version now but I think still low res.

Install PuppetMaster
https://play.google.com/store/apps/d...tmaster.tinydl

Then use Tag in PuppetMaster
PRMVIDLNCH

Install PrimeVideoLauncher from Downloads
RUN --> Install PrimeVideo when prompted to.
Run PrimeVideo
Log In etc.

Let us know how it works for you ...

The only way to fix the m8s pro+ boxes with the faulty emmc is to replace the emmc. Maybe you can flash a firmware that works, but it's not a firmware issue, it's hardware related and the data still corrupts.
Without an emmc you can still boot the amlogic into recovery mode and it connects to the usb burning tool, but if you try to flash something it says that theres an DDR error. Quite funny.

Anyways, I've bought a 16GB kingston BGA emmc out of egay for 7,70 euro and replaced the faulty emmc with the new one. Also I've put a recovery-button, changed the headsink (40x40x11) and put a raspberry pi fan (30x30x7) on it..
Unfortunately I lost the widevine keys and I don't have tools to read and write the original emmc chip standalone, but the keys are probably broken anyways. Maybe I can copy them from an another box, but I'm not gonna try that.
Of course not everyone can do that, but it is possible to fix.

I dont have any wifi issues using this rom

I have mate but very very randomly the wifi turn off and on itself in few seconds, and that dont happen on any other device i have, but i read on other sites is maybe because i have two wifis detecting and one of them is a free wifi and this new androids has a faulty and try to connect to them instead of stable on the main wifi, if it is is that the problem someone knows how i can prevent the rom to do that? so it cant disconnect itself? cause i belive is not a router problem neither this device but maybe this kind of android versions that do that

I can't make the prmvidlnch.apk install. I've installed PuppetMaster, it downloads PRMVIDLNCH.apk, but gives me the "can't analise the package" error. Tried 3 times.

Can you PM me your apk? I'll appreciate that.

Does Netflix app play clips without stutters for you? unfortunately I see some on 1080p 60hz settings.

Hi everyone

I have a little problem with Netflix app.
I succesfully installed latest Nexus TV Rom from Magendanz on my Mecool M8s Pro+ and everything works great. I wanted to try Netflix app from Google play store and before that I checked with DRM Info Widevine Level and it was still L1.
So after login to Netflix account i tried to watch some movies or tv series. I didn't occur any 114 or 115 error but I have other problem with loading stuff. For example when I choose one movie it opens immediately with FHD quality but with another movie loading stops for example on 25% and nothing happens or another one opens after long time but with very poor quality. I try to clear cache, clear data and even reinstall Netflix app, but it won't help.
I tried using Netflix on another devices (smartphone, tablet) with same Netflix account and it works like a charm.
Did anyone have same problem and there is any solution for this?
If not I think I should open dispute with seller to make a refund.

I have one question, do you think is better this setup (pro+ + nexus rom) or the new pro W with android TV? Because I have some issues with google cast with the pro+

[Scenz]

Do now usb Bluetooth dongles work?

Nope, I wasn't able to get this working. Will require rebuild, and I don't have source.

Hi everyone

I have one box Mecool M8S Pro Plus with Samsung eMMC batch SEC 652 and ROM of death, pics down. Before find this forum and thread, i tried flash update ROM with Stock 20170919.150557.V0619 in Android OTA Update, that is brick my box.

After one day attempting anothers ROM's Stock, with USB Burning Tool and Burn Card Maker, never boot full, freeze Mecool boot.

On my last attempt after two days, I successed flash one ROM this link OTA file, burnning with Recovery Stock in Apply update from EXT flash zip file, my box unbrick.

ROM Link: https://chinagadgetsreviews.com/down...-tv-box-6.html

In same day after unbrick my box with ROM Stock, I tried flahs Android TV this Thread through Burn Card Maker and I successed. I have been for more than one month my box dual boot, Android TV and LibreELEC sdcard, smooth run.

But I would ask the op Guest the possibility of an Android TV ROM based on that Stock ROM that saved my box, if it has something different in it, the menu is faster.

Sorry for my bad English

Best Regards
