    Trying hard to get this rom to install but can't get recovery to load it from the SD card. I have followed the burn card maker directions, have the sd card inserted when powering up to recovery and met with Android red x. It is not mentioned, so I have not done this yet but is a custom recovery required to flash via the burn method? If so can I get a link to some help please. Much love and really looking forward to trying this out!
    I also failed multiple times via SD Card, just gave up and opted for OTA, works perfectly.

      welp, the update method worked no problems at all. I wonder why the burn method is failing for us

      EDIT:
      The frown is not a reflection on the rom itself. The first few minutes with it very much remind me of my Nexus player and a slower Shield tv. Can't wait to test this baby out!

        I can't tell from that pic but I'm guessing the lid stays off because it won't fit with that fan in there?
        not really, two reasons, airflow is bad with lid on either way, but main reason is because it is out of sight as well

          Hi, I'd like to leave just one suggestion for the Power and Drawer buttons. I downloaded this image from NVIDIA Shield TV, the Drawer App was my edition, but Power is native to Android TV. The proposal is to keep the buttons in the same color pattern and design of Android TV. Another option would be to create a new menu similar to "Apps and Games", something like the functions that Xiaomi and NVIDIA make their TVBOX. In this new menu you could place the Sideloader Launcher and Power Control apps.

            I'm not sure what you're asking for here. Updating the App Drawer icon is easy, but I'm not sure I see the point in adding a new category like Apps and Games for settings. The Power button is actually a feature of TvSettings.apk, which includes a manifest entry to expose it in the Leanback Settings area.

          OK - I have finally received my M8SPro+and the tvstock install went fine and seems to be working. Now my question is - what do I need to do to add the usb dvb drivers/firmware to the system? Is there a github for this rom that I can add the media_build files to the kernel?

            No, there isn't. You can try to add kernel modules to /lib/modules and in theory they will be loaded on the fly. In practice, we haven't seen that. (Kernel modules can be mined from the NVIDIA Shield TV ROMs at https://developer.nvidia.com/gameworksdownload.)

          Taki from this forum, maybe the one to ask, he was building the drivers for Rockchip devices. Here is his information....

            When using Burning tool to install this ROM, should the "Erase Bootloader" box be checked? Only being careful so as not to screw up the Widevine L1.

              No, it shouldn't be checked, but checking it won't erase your keys. It's the Overwrite Key option that will do that.

              The Erase Bootloader setting will just wipe it before copying the new bootloader. There's a short window where if something were to go wrong you'd brick your device, but it's extremely brief and I've never had a problem with it despite having flashed hundreds of times with the setting checked. The more prudent course, however, is to uncheck it.

            Thank you, ROM installed with Burning Tool without issue. Netflix HD appears to we working! Awesome. Has anyone tried Amazon video apk from Shield?

              I was having the same problem. Try renaming the firmware image without any special symbols before creating the SD card. That finally worked for me.

                I have the same device M8S Pro+ but I have problems about freezing. Is there anybody who has such a problem? And what should I do to fix it. I install many times the rom, but nothing changed. In addition, my cpu is 1512 mhz rather than 2.0ghz. Do you know that the reason is? Gearbest item description says 2.0ghz, but it is not. Is this device wrong or everybody's cpu has the same speed?

                Especially Settings application crashes. I reset device and worked well at first. Then crashed again and again.I opened developer options and select render with GPU forcibly and nothing changed. Shoul I could the device down?

                If there is Android TV Stock 6.0 version, I will install it. But I don't know if theese problem will gone.

                Thank you

                  Got same problem and noone answered me. Also have tried other rom from this forum (Android Stock & Nano) and get back to orginal one. Nothing changed.... Seems to be broken device. I have ordered this from banggood and they are going to send me another one.

                    Great porting!
                    What about HDR 4k contents on Netflix? Has someone tried to see it with this box or is full-hd the max resolution?
                    And what about Amazon Prime video Android TV app? Does it work with this rom?

                      That might be about cpu temperature. It is getting too hot. Do you have any problem with original rom? I have problem on that also. Youtube freezes.

                        Yes, got same problem also with original rom. Also apps are crashing, just before I switch on box I get pop up about for example "google play stop running" or any other app stop running.

                          Can we use another (bigger) heatsink on this box cpu? Or does it need a fan? Is there anyone who tried this? Thank you
