Mecool M8S PRO L 4K TV Box Amlogic S912 Bluetooth 4.1 + HS

[Freaking]

Sonoff WiFi enabled smart switch, less than $5 USD. Turn your box off/on with voice or smart phone. Even set timers if needed.

I cant make out how this one works. There are no power inputs. Do I have to cut the TV Box's power cable and connect into this thing?
Also, is it really a good idea to switch off an android device that way? Doesn't it cause problems if you don't properly shut down the device through the software menu?

Hi ,

i think for this you have to mod your keylayout.file , with the right values , but i am not a

Pro in that , a "Search" here maybe helps finding correct Infos , good luck / gefattern

I ve searched the net for hours the last 2 days but haven't found a solution.
This was my best bet http://www.minixforum.com/threads/pr...-remote.16064/
Taken from the Minix forums someone posted a .kl file as you say and a remote.conf. I put those on my box but nothing worked again. I mean it works on H96 Pro +, why shouldn't it work on the Pro L or any other Android TV Box for that matter?

Sonoff is smart power switch, this meen that you can connect box power thrue sonoff switch rather then directly to wall outlet and controll power on off using ewelink app

Where are the plugs to connect the box to sonoff and the sonoff to the wall outlet though?

I ve found nothing about making the Minix A2 Lite's IR Button working in freaktab to be honest.

Yes, I changed the permissions through ES File Explorer and both files were copied the their respective locations succesfully.

Hi ,

is it not possible to change your Stock kl.files to your needs ???

Maybe it is more needed to do this , then only changing the kl.files ???

I took the .kl file of a2 lite from the minix forums and copied it to my box but nothing changed. I think something else must be changed because the IR button doesnt work through RF like the other buttons on the a2 lite. Maybe something inside the boot.img?

the one that worked for me is
twrp for amlogic q20x, the others are not working
try to search for it.. you can find it somewhere on freaktab.. if you couldn't find I will try to upload it for you

it wont recognise any of menu/recent apps buttons and still got no response...

I'm desperating guys... i can't believe there's any video tut demonstrating this :'(

The shunt on my Mecool M8s PRO L doesn't work omg :'(

Neither pressing any buttons of the remote.

I tried the Amlogic_SDcardMaker_BootcardMaker_burnBootCard_v1. 0.1 ticking the "To Partition and Format" option and copied the latest firmware "M8S_PRO_L-NHG47L-20171216.102705.V0928" and "twrp.q201-3.1.1-0"

Came with no result and keeps the Blue LED ON and a black image on lcd

I really recommend using Amlogic USB Burning Tool when recovering using Mask ROM mode by shorting pins on the eMMC. It works reliably for me, and I've always had problems with Bootcardmaker.

[rimasi98]

But Guest i already tried to use USB Burning Tool and shunt the reset pins but nothing happens and there's no diference because the USB Burning Tool recognises the box. I've tried to flash this firmware "M8S_PRO_L-V0928_TVStock-20180109", also this one: "M8S_PRO_L-NHG47L-20171216.102705.V0928" and also this one: "M8S_PRO_L-V0928_TVStock-20171202" and the result is allways the same when i hit enter:

ERROR At 2% when i'm not using power cable
http://prntscr.com/i3pblz

ERROR at 7% when i'm using both power cable and USB male to male:
http://prntscr.com/i3pbxj
PS: I've tried with the latest USB Burning Tool and this 2.0.5.15 version

Do you got the correct .img files to restore my bootloader because i perhaps might screwed it (i don't know whatelse to do)

[rimasi98]

Guest by saying using Mask ROM mode by shorting pins on the eMMC you meant shorting the reset button pins right this one:

Nope, I mean shorting pins on the eMMC. Details here: http://freaktab.com/forum/main-categ...short-location

This is what you do after you've corrupted your bootloader. It's really meant as a last resort, but it's saved my bacon many times.

[clarkss12]

Guest by saying using Mask ROM mode by shorting pins on the eMMC you meant shorting the reset button pins right this one:

Thankfully, I have never had to short the pins, but it is my understanding, that those are the correct spots to short to get into the masked ROM mode.

Edit: Recovery mode, NOT masked ROM mode.
