The procedure is stuck at 98%
What i am doing wrong?
Any help?
- Erase Flash>Force Erase (?All)
- Erase Bootloader
May not need the Erase Bootloader - Expert may confirm exactly what is required - I was just experimenting.
Even when a flash worked my box never did - It was always faulty from inception.

What do you think? Should I try and install with Burn_Card_Maker the latest ATV rom on this box?Magendanz commented

You can try, but I don't think the eMMC will take anything other than what was burned at the factory. Anything else (OEM or custom ROM), seems to result in a partial flash.

No, I think those with bad eMMC chips are locked into the factory ROM at this point. The devices don't seem to be able to accept anything more than a partial flash, leaving portions unmodified. Unless you're flashing the original factory ROM, that's just not going to work.
That's really the only hypothesis that I can propose for why only this one firmware revision works on the affected boxes.

With which FW should I now buy the new box to use it with ATV?

HI Magendanz, when you mentioned adding game controller support for the M8S Pro+, does that mean it will support Bluetooth USB dongle?

Sadly, no. superceleron tells me that there are compiler directives required to build a ROM with Bluetooth support, and to the best of our knowledge only ODROID has managed to create an Android build that can discover and use Bluetooth dongles. It's not just a matter of including the right kernel modules. You'd need to recompile from source.

Guest , so if I have a box with SEC 713, I just should stick to factory ROM? I will request a full refund soon and I'll select, that I didn't get the package (I chose untracked shipping). But could someone tell me, where should I buy that box to get new Kingston EMMC? Because there's no problems with those EMMC, right? And I will be able to flash ATV on it then, right?
+ Tell me, how can I even flash this box? Do I need sd card or some kind of special to connect it to PC? I didn't prepare properly for it, if I would even get box with right EMMC

Just FYI, I was finally able to compile a build of TWRP recovery that works with the new M8S Pro+ V0619 kernel. I'm uploading the new release now.
