PRO L has his own firmware and it's newer than PRO+

That wasn't my question to Magendanz.

Many things need to be explained here... I've ordered 2 boxes in a very good price from a seller here in Brazil. First thing that I've been thinking do when it arrive was flash this firmware. I use the Guest ATV 7.1 in my Mecool M8S Pro 3/32 and I'm very happy with its performance. BUT, reading some comments here about this "bad batch" in some boxes I'm REALLY SCARED rs.. I understood everything and the explanations about the danger from the X version firmware and the eMMC from Samsung. BUUUUTTTT... How explain it below (link attached)... How these guys are flashing that ROM and everything is working ok?

Thanks a lot, will give it a try !

That's the problem! I just want to power on the box, after I can use the TV remote...

You can try one of the remotes in the links below. The topmost power button will put the box into sleep/standby mode. You can program one of the four IR buttons to act like the power button on the original remote. I have used one on my M8S Pro + flawlessly. I have bought several of these remotes for myself and friends and have had no issues. I have never used the original remote. Try using the topmost power button before you go the programming route. The one I have (second link) powers on my box.

Yes

Then you can move yiur box near your TV and connect everything with cables

yeah but the problem is mainly the power ac wire is is too damn short to go from the ground to the box, if dont come out other roms or fixes to this boxs i have to find an alternative unfourtnly

[SergioKool]

so install the custom rom and try, my wifi doesnt drop out so much and a script isnt going to fix it, if your router is to far away of course you will have wifi problems, maybe change the wifi channels on your router to see if you get something more stable i have 2 of these boxes and rarely do i have prolems with it at all

i have Nexus custom rom cause the stock rom sucks :/ mine doenst either but have wifi drops randomly, and my router isnt far cause i have ps3 even far and my android cellphone and never have this kind of wifi drops aleays have stable wifi on all devices instead of this boxes :/
i alreaey chance the channels and do the same :/ i dont know why have this wifi drops and i bet is the script cause i try three boxes with older androids(4.4) and never have wifi drops, so i bet is the scripting of this roms or or t boxes have the wifi damaged

[Jeffers]

but what u saying? buying some other devices to extend wifi ,but why if my router is near the tv tv box? explain pls :/ this boxes needs a wifi fixs on their roms cause maybe i think is not their wifi who give problems but some script that do that and fix that like tanix support do on their boxs, cause is so random, the wifi downs, and i hope the person who port this nexus rom could fix this buggy wifi script, cause the stock rom is all bugged :/

Yes

Then you can move yiur box near your TV and connect everything with cables

[DKAngel]

but with this rom? pitty i cant do that cause the router is way to far from tv and i cant put the box maybe nearer for the cable , but i have other problem, the ac adaptor cable is way to short to reach from the box to the ground, and the strange is that not the first box i have to do that, i have one first who never stop has android 4.4 and always have stable wifi, but is too weak for me with the processor and dont give me to install all apps i need, then i bought other box who is tanix mini who give me that wifi unstable wifi at first then come out an update and the wifi goes stable, but for me is a slow box, then i bought a yoka box with android 6 and then that box beggining with wifi unstababillity too , so i sell it , the last one i bought is this cause everybody say is good, and generaly it is, but stock rom sucks and give wifi unstable , then i put this wonderfull rom but same wifi unstable , damn im so mad :/ im tired of sell and buy new boxes and see all having the same problem, the strange is all my other android devices has wifi stabality , unless this kind of boxes from china or wathever and i dont know why :/ they dont test the wifi in their boxes ?

so install the custom rom and try, my wifi doesnt drop out so much and a script isnt going to fix it, if your router is to far away of course you will have wifi problems, maybe change the wifi channels on your router to see if you get something more stable i have 2 of these boxes and rarely do i have prolems with it at all

Try something like:- TP-Link TL-WPA4226KIT 2-Port Powerline Adapter WiFi Starter Kit, Range Extender, Broadband/WiFi Extender, WiFi Booster/Hotspot, No Configuration Required
