[Firmware Stock] OTA MECOOL M8S PRO L ANDROID 7.1 AMLOGIC S912

[Guest]

Here's the burn package (.img file) for the latest release: M8S_PRO_L-NHG47L-20171109.180937.V0928.img

Without a reset switch, it's considerably easier now to use the OTA update, but you'll find this useful if you ever need to recover the box after a bad flash.

Ill try the v0928 img file. For some reason one of the files from ota vertion keeps giving my crc check error, and will not install. Redownloaded the ota zip files around 5 times, get the same crc error in the same file every time. X my fingers and hope the img update method will work

that means, i copy now this img-file on my sc card or usb-stick and open the update file which comes with the orginal box-rom and flash this new img-file?
and then i have TWRP recovery installed afterwards?

i did not have yet my box, but want to be informed before, thanks

No, for the burn package you need to use Amlogic USB Burning Tool or BootcardMaker. Only the OTA updates (.zip file) can be used for local updates using the Update app.

My Nexus custom ROMs for this box do come with the latest TWRP Recovery, though. You'll get it with the OTA update (which can be installed from the Update app) or with the burn package.

Hi,

Had to use Terminal (reboot recovery) to Update from OEM V0619 as the stupid UPDATE App just switched Off each time and never installed ??

New V0928 is running no cooler than OEM V0619

New V0928 has no APP Drawer, like a great Magendanz ATV ROM has, so I have had to install SideLoad Launcher and that is not as neat to my mind !

Some useful (and not so useful) apps now have Leanback Icons (DRM etc.) but I liked to have my least used apps hidden in the drawer - Now they sit in the long line all the time !! I think I would have to uninstall them and reinstall the old pre-ATV versions if I could be bothered ...

I def. prefer the Magendanz implementation of ATV.


OEM also missing the Double-Click HOME function to get a Recent App Switcher thingy !

Guest can you check, if this rom has already the new bootloader concerning the boot to recovery and connect usb ota to pc (automatically detection of laptop)?
And if the issue wake from standby is also resolved with this new rom?

I have already installed Magendanz's rom and I'll update via TWRP to this one to test it. I'll reinstall Magendanz's version when it will be available.

Flash via TWRP failed:



Now I remember that is a bug of the OEM's update script.

We have to wait for a fix.

I know this problem appears only when updating from TWRP, with stock updater shouldn't be a problem.

But I'm not sure, maybe someone with stock firmware could confirm this.

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

thanks trebor can you check, if the bootloader was changed, that means when connect with usb a_a cable the laptop or pc should recognize the tv box without pressing any reboot-pin (which don´t exist on this box).

and the other issue was the wake from standby

thanks

[trebor]

Appears no change to boot loader powers up and boots using USB, PC not seeing
Standby will have to wait 30 minutes till it sleeps
