Here is the last rom in .img format from geekbuying

http://geekbuying.mediafire.com/file...2813.V0321.img

That's the 0815 build, upon which this custom ROM was based. We're looking for NHG47L 2017.09.14.183646.V0619.

Could you please check CPU speed of both of them? Does the first one have 2.0GHz CPU speed? Thank you

On the first it says 1512mhz. The second i cannot check, im sorry. Cannot get past the installation menu.

[P.X]

I have build number: NHG47L 2017.09.14.183646.V0619

So I can install?

STOP - WAIT !

That is a new one as far as I can see and a new V Number too !!!
EDIT: Magendanz just commented above that this is the version he is waiting for (IMG?)

This may be to address issues caused by say a change of HW/Chip supplier (just a guess) that we have been seeing with the 20170829--V0321 version I had ?

I'm pretty sure Magendanz would like to see a dump of this new one before it gets overwritten ....
Also, if this is a new one to fix a HW issue then a FW based on the previous build it would probably suffer the same fate as we have seen (going from random freezes to basically USELESS except from SD)

Please wait a bit and see what the real experts have to say ...

Yes, I would love a dump of this OEM firmware build!

If you have this ROM currently on your box, you can clone the partitions by running dump_partitions.bat in this tool: http://freaktab.org/35e8f91f3b91af60
(It connects via a male-to-male Type A USB OTG cable and the WorldCup device driver, just like with USB Burning Tool.)

Does it have any freezing issue?

Does it have any freezing issue?

I turn on box one hour ago and it works good with Kodi. No problem.

Hi,
I found with my 20170829.121614.V0321 based box that it would work fine for hours if you just went straight to watch a Vid file or YT film or such, but if you moved about or went back and forth and did things, it would then freeze.
Just being on the launch screen and moving about for 15-40 clicks would make it freeze.
A 2 hour video film with no pauses worked just fine ... until you paused or skipped or went for another file say.

Hopefully this new 2017.09.14.183646.V0619 FW is a fix for the issues - fingers crossed.
Hopefully also back-compatible with the first set of V0321 FWs so there isn't a need for 2 versions of everything ...

I wish too... I look forward Magendanz publishing new TV Stock rom for this update

I recently has a m8s pro + delivered and installed the OTA version of this ROM in the stock recovery. This seemed to install correctly including the replacement of the kernel, bootloader and recovery. Once I rebooted the box does not power on anymore staying on a blue/red light like its asleep. What are my option here as I am unable to get to the recovery to push down the img file using the amlogic software?

Is there a nand short I can do to force my laptop to recognize the box for flashing? I have looked extensively on the net but can only see the info for other boxes.

Any help here would be greatly appreciated.

TV Tuner partial success! So even though I own many different USB TV tuners, I have been unable to get the TV Stock rom to recognize the tuner and launch the live channels. After looking back at the history of the Nexus test with Live Channels - I relaized that they only supported three usb tuners:

• Hauppauge WinTV-HVR-955Q
• Hauppauge Digital TV Tuner for Xbox One
• AVerMedia AVerTV Volar Hybrid Q (H837)

So I went ahead and tracked down a Hauppauge Xbox One tuner. I plugged it in this morning and bingo! Live channels launched the USB tuner setup program, scanned for channels and setup my guide!

Now unfortunately, it seems to have an issue actually playing the TV stream. Perhaps this is a problem with the 905x - but it seems more like it isn't handling decoding the stream properly. It brings up the image and plays it back about 1 frame per second. The audio continues at normal rate and you can hear it fine - but the video is stuck in slow playback.

I'm hoping to do more experimenting to see what might be causing this - but if anyone wants to it on their setup - I'm guessing all three of the tuners listed above would work to get started.

I am very frustrated guys. Tried USB and SD methods to recover my bricked m8s pro+, with different firmwares and the same luck. I can't get it to be recognised by my PC nor start recovery and update it to any ROM. Is there any other way to try or should I just give up and plan on buying another one?

Did you make a bootable disk using the bootcardmaker as per instructions in the first post?? When you have your box connected to your TV and the microSD card inserted into your box, what happens when you power on your box while holding the reset button that is located on the front of the device, behind the grill????

Yes I did. Most of the times it happens nothing, the device just boots as it usually does, showing nothing on the screen and with the front led in blue and red. Some other times, it turns to only blue and the TV turns green but does nothing anyway.

If I try to use the usb male to male cable, same situation. My PC can't find the device.

How to install TWRP? I don't install this ROM.
Can I install via Update app?

[kml]

Can I ask for some help?
I've upgraded Mecool from stock, to the M8S_PRO+-V0321_TVStock-20170825. It worked by but with a lot of hangs. I've decided to downgrade to M8S_PRO+-V0321_TVStock-20170730, but during the process system hanged. Now I have nexus logo, if I press reset during the turning power on I have green robot with X. Tried Burn_Card_Maker with M8S_PRO+-V0321_TVStock-20170825.img and M8S_PRO+-NMF26Q-20170815.182813.V0321.img - no success.
Should I try to find usb cable - or the box is bricked to death...

Try renaming the img file to something without special symbols (like M8S.img) BEFORE preparing the card with Burn Card Maker.
