Hi Robert, i have this tv box and i would like to flash a custom rom (android tv 7.1) superceleron or magendanz for M8SII would work or any other recommendation ?

Thanks in advance.

Some may, WiFi / BT and remote may be issue.
Not sure of any specific Custom rom that would.

Thanks for your reply, have you ever try to put it on recovery mode and have it detected in the usb burning tool because on my side it doesn't work (toothpick in reset hole + usb otg port). As there are 3 buttons under the motherboard (1 reset and 2 upgrade) there might be a special way to do it. Would you mind trying on your side and let me know (not flashing just have it detected by the burning tool) ?

Thanks for your help.

For those interested had it working with usb tool (plug usb to pc, open tool, load rom, press start and then plug usb pressing upgrade button on back of tv box) xanny 3.0 rom working, wifi ok, no bluetooth..(if someone can make work bluetooth please let me know)

Hi, I have this TV box but it is based on S905W not S905X. Got a number of problem with it.
1)Wifi speed less than 20Mbps, normally less than 10Mbps, Lan connection also less than 30Mbps, normally only around 20Mbps. Lan speed should get at least 90Mbps since my bandband is 1Gbps and spec states 100mbps. I have a X96mini can get 92Mbps under the same condition. 2) Cannot uninstall apps like FB, nextflix, youtube, koki etc. It reinstall itself after reboot when u uninstall it. 3)The screen resolution is only 1280x720. See photo. Will upgrading the firmware solve the problems? The firmware on my box is p281-userdebug7.1.2NHG47L20180407test-keys. Do anyone have a upgraded firmware for it? BTW how do I flash a new firmware for i98 Pro? I see there is a reset and update button at the bottom of the box but I don't know how to use it. Is it possible to save my existing firmware? Then if after flashing other firmware is not successful, I can restore it using the saved original firmware. Can anyone help me? Thanks in advance.

For those who own a i98 Pro, anyone able to run CCleaner or Speedtest by Ookla apps?? Mine no problem installing it. But when run it only open half screen. Totally can't be used. Confirmed apk working on other TV box so not apk problem. Anyone else having the same problem as me? Or anyone who has the same problem found a solution? Pls share. Thanks.
