Hi - Any firmware link for this box yet

[Mikexilva]

I've ordered one of these boxes to run LibreElec but I'd like to install it onto the internal storage and keep a backup of original ROM eventually for one day if I want to go back to Android.. how can this be done? is there any place I can find the original ROM for this box?

[WTFICCTSN]

Can Anyone post a link with the original firmware? Thx in advance.

[berna81]

Someone has the original or compatible firmware for this android tv box? Thanks

Edit: one original rom of mxq pro + (2gb 16GB) is good for this model.

Can anyone give me an instruction how to install this properly? I tried both methods USB Burning Tool and Amlogic Burn_Card_Maker v2.0.2, with the first i get an "Get Key failed" Error and with the second it doenst even go to recovery mode. I also tried to update via OTA but the image won't be recognized on my SD or USB Device, i think i need a zip image file for this one. Can anyone, who has successfully updated help please?

I just Installed ATVXperience 2FF for devices with 1gb RAM and it is very fluid but has no wifi, other than the wifi problems its working pretty good and its Android TV.
I tried the 2GB Ram version but was always freezing.

Enable developer mode Look for window animation etc... there should be 3 animation options , either set them to 0.5x or turn them off , it will speed up the system dramatically
