    Sounds like your TV is wanting to setup information about that device that is NOW using HDMI 2. Go into your TV settings and assign this device to that HDMI input, that should solve that issue. I had a similar situation.
    I searched and I think that the issue is not the HDMI and video resolution, but the sound. The info bar is displayed only when the TV box sends stereo sounds. I disabled system sounds and the situation is now improved. Everyone with a Sony LED tv would experience the same problem, so a bit of tips and tricks

    I'm having come discomfort with the HDMI interface of the box. Namely, whenever I click on menu item, or I select the field for keyboard entry, there is change of the display mode and my LCD TV (Sony 757 LED TV) displays the channel info mode (i.e. HDMI2: connected M8S Pro L, 1080p.....) which covers the screen and I need to wait to disapear. It happens with every click and it's not nice to wait for the info to go away.

    Changing the HDMI mode (1080p to 720p, or the refresh rate doesn't help).

    TV is working fine with other TV boxes with same resolution/mode, and this happens with different HDMI cables...

    Any ideas?

    I tried with a microusb to USB by using a Windows tablet, the reset pins were connected by a wire, powered the box, in the USB burning tool no device was showed, in Window's Device Manager no new device is recognised.

    Should the male to male USB cable have a specific pin layout?
    From the picture, it looks like you have everything connected correctly. If that does not work, try to find a POWERED USB hub and connect your box to that hub, using a male to male USB cord, and do NOT plug in the power.

    Also, with your current setup, try a different USB cord, some cords are charging cables only. You have to have a cable that charges and also has data transfer abilities.......

    Not to worry, it is not broken. Best to use the Amlogic USB burning tool. You will need a male to male USB cable and a Windows computer. You will have to open your box (really easy) and jumper the two "holes" where the reset button is supposed to be on the board. Here is a link showing which "holes" to jumper, post 183, the narrow two holes. Also, make sure you use the OTG port on your box.

    Hello, I would really need some help.
    I have the M8S Pro L 32GB, 3GB, updated it to the latest official version with the .img image with the update option, by selecting a zip.
    I wanted to flash Mecool M8S Pro L TVStock Nexus ROM (Android TV 7.1) in the same way, the .img was along with a zipped img on the stick, I got after using the "update" app to a bootloader where none of the files was accepted. I powered the box off, now there's no way to start it or to flash anything.
    I created several microSD's with img, zip firmware versions on the root, with cards made with burn card maker, tried to reset with the pins...no bootloader/update action is displayed.
    I get a green/orange/purple screen when I'm using a SD made with BurnCardMaker or no signal/black screen when I'm using cards with .img/.zip on the root of the card.
    Did I broke it?
    Thank you in advance for any suggestions!

    Doesn't the M8S PRO have DDR4 RAM while the M8S PRO L is DDR3? And does the M8S PRO still have a reset button? If so, that would make the M8S PRO a better box.

    Yeah, I get this too. I'm hoping the new 20180205.111652.V0928 OEM firmware will fix the problem.

    Don't think you can as port is activated only when selected..(not tried)
    But if you have a cable wont hurt to try, normally they look like this but the length of barrel may vary 14~17mm +/-
