Yes, I believe you found the correct location of the reset button. Your procedure is correct. I found out that the USB ports on my computer did not have enough power to make the box connect to my computer. I use a powered USB hub. Others have reported that they power their box using the box's power plug then following this procedure.

Hello! I am trying to do a usb flash rom, my box don't have the reset button but I opened up and found some holes where suposed to be the reset button, so I put a paper clip on that and when my box is on and I put the paper clip appears a massage like "You wanna reset or turn it off" So, that means that I found the reset button? Other question, my pc don't reconize my box, how you guys do that? What I'm doing is: Put the paper clip on "reset button" and after that i put a male to male usb in my box and computer, is that alright? Please help me!

That is a very strange problem. Does Kodi and other apps work OK? Does your box have the reset button?

Yes! Kodi, mxplayer, youtube... all of them work ok, just netflix and drminfo has this problems. I found this: http://freaktab.com/forum/tv-player-...m-info-problem , is basicly my problem, one of the comments says "The solution was to flash a rom using Amlogic USB Burning Tool.", you know if this can fix it? About reset button, I din't open my mecool, i don't know how do that btw. Thank you one more time, Clark!!

No I did the OTA update, I don't know how can I do the USB burning method. And yes, I read this and my mecool don't be part of them... I didn't have any problems with my box, excepted what i've said

I have forgotten what you have tried so far.. Did you already do a complete install using the USB burning method???

Of course you have read this from the first post......

WARNING: There's a bad batch of M8S Pro+ boxes which are experiencing regular freezing and crashes. We've narrowed the source of the problem down to a Samsung eMMC 5.1 chipset (KLMAG1JENB - B041), batches SEC 652 to 713, and these usually shipped from the factory with version 20170829.121614.V0321 of the OEM firmware. If you have one of these, it's highly recommended that you not flash any ROM (custom or OEM), as the prolonged block writes seem to result in serious data corruption.

I tried this one more time but didn't work it. The netflix app and the DRM Info doesn't open (Even the another versions)... I don't know what can I do, netflix is one of the reasons that I buyed this box.

Did anyone solve the problem with Android TV remote?

[struthm8]

After power up I use the remote and move down to "apps" row. Then scroll back and forth across the 5 apps.
After about 3 time across and back, across and back, across and back, it shows on the screen that it is powering down and it shutsdown.

Found the issue. Standard remote was causing box to crash when pressing buttons to fast.
Changed to wireless remote and haven't had an issue since.

The only reason was asking about your Widevine level is because Netflix installed from the Google play store will not work unless you have Widevine level 1. Your box came with level1, and perhaps you lost it somehow.

I undertand, but that is strange because in one day netflix works with no problem and other day it stoped. But later I'll try instal DRMinfo to see this and I post here. By the way, I aprecciate your coments to help me, guys!

[clarkss12]

I do that when I was using the Stock rom, after instal nexus rom i didn't do that, but I can try this too.
