Hi guys,
I would like to have a rom that have a normal playstore and one that can solve my hang problem. my current ROM is not compatible with kodi xbmc original. According to my supplier, i have to use the pre installed tv centre but that one also gave me the same problem which was hang problem. i feel devastated now. i saw Guest 's post and clicked it, but there was a lot of firmware there and i don't know which one should i download. Another problem is,i only know how to update firmware using OTA, tried using usb burning tools but was unsuccessful. Can anyone help me..

turtlegsr you can fixit yourself, unzip zip open file updater-script delete first 2 lines save and re-zip, Guest xplaned that in one of his post

Yes, the OEM OTA update script won't let you downgrade (or install in TWRP). I fixed the script on some of these and posted here: http://freaktab.org/28~f

Just look for the "-fixed" suffix.

Just flashed this 20171111 firmware (needed to modify zip so that i can update over twrp) and it comes with mecool launcher and not like rom from 27-th that is android tv rom works just fine better then stock 20170918 but nothing spectacular

What a mess. Good hardware supported by not too good official developers... They need Guest.

Agreed..hardware spec is deceiving..i regret buying it. But sending it back will be a hard choice..that is y i keep looking for custom firmware..

Works well on stock OTA so far, no used for awhile

Hi trebor,
u are an idol..i wish to have your knowledge..i have downloaded the firmware..but fail to update as it stucks on mecool screen... can u give me a guide how to update it?

[turtlegsr]

true,
this firmware can't be installed in OTA mode.
Procedure tell me that is not possible to install the firmware on a newer version.
someone have a link to an img file?
i finally have a terminal in the box and i can run a command to reboot into system update, correct?

Hi Magendaz and all,
i update my M8S PRO L with this latest firmware.....but unfortunatly NETFLIX now play movie don't use all screen.... but is align on the left and is not all wide...
With previous firmware NETFLIX works very well, in HD, full screen.

Please can you help me to come back to previous firmware?

Unfortunatly if i try to use Magendanz nexus firmware, RAIPLAY, portal for italian tv network crash and netflix don't start.

Where i found OTA upgrade for previous FW?
is possible?

thanks

Well, the new OEM firmware uses the Leanback Launcher, so that's by design. You can flash new ROMs with the Update app, or you can launch USB Burning Tool, load the burn package (.img file), hit Start, and then type "reboot update" from a terminal window. (Hopefully, this will be easier once Videostrong updates it bootloader to detect USB OTG without the reset button.)

Hello,
i tried your fix. Seems that there are some fragments of Leanback Launcher or something else remains in System. The App aborts again.
Now i wan´t to make a full Flash with the Firmware and maybe a try of your non ATV Firmware.
How can I make this without the Reset Button? I know Burn Card Maker. Does the L1 Key still remains?
