Hello, tell me please, I have Mecool M8S Pro L with stock firmware, can I flash it with your firmware? How do I properly flash your firmware? Thankful in advance for the answer.

Please read the first post. There are links with instructions on how to flash with the Amlogic tools.

Thank you for the answer. Tell me please, I can not flash through the USB burning tool, and as I understand from the first message, I can flash your firmware through the local updater or the stock rekoveri Mecool M8S Pro L. Tell me correctly understood?
And please check that your firmware is coming to the "L" version of the TV box?

I did flash it trough the local updater with no Problem, this version is for the "L"version, but for HD Nedflix I think you need the Mecool M8S Pro L TVStock Nexus ROM (Android TV 7.1).

No, you can get Netflix HD with this rom (stock/nano) as well.

Magendanz, BPENL, Floki thanks for your help guys!

I first did the nano rom, but play store didn't give Netflix, did side load but was no HD. But maybe did something wrong?

So, I had to short pins to restore firmware which appeared to work, but the box wont boot.
it appears to be stuck in burn tool mode as just plugging it in has it detected.. is it dead? i'm confused


edit:

just needed to clean pins, sorted.

hmm, I have nano with netflix hd. It's been a while so I don't quite remember how I got it, probably sideloaded, it's version netflix 4.2.1 build1804

This might be useful information for those flashing from stock/factory rom using the USB Burning Tool with "reboot update" terminal command method.
You will need to install a terminal emulation app to do this and the recommended app is "Terminal Emulator for Android"
The problem is that when you go in Google Play on stock/factory rom because it's an Android TV flavor you can't see / download this app.
I tried a couple of other terminal emulators like "Temux" and "Qute" that did come up in Google Play on stock/factory rom but entering "reboot update" on these for whatever reason did not work. So I had to side load "Terminal Emulator for Android". You can do this by downloading the apk from a website or installing Aptoide to download and install it. "reboot update" command worked with "Terminal Emulator for Android"

@Magendanz may be worth including this info on first post for clarity

"su" then, "reboot update"

Hi Guys, I've looked at the photo for manually shorting pins for reset button http://freaktab.com/node/685682
but I am unclear as to what and where exactly the pins are (not very clear in photo) and how to go about shorting them?
Can someone please shed some light?
( How retarded is it that there is a reset switch on the M8S PRO but not on the M8S PRO L!!! Grrrrrrr :/ )

[tillaz87]

Since shorting the pins to restore firmware I have widevine L3.. not good

When using burn tool don't use "force erase all" guessing that's what done it.. does everyone else use *normal erase* ?

I've used Force Erase before and it didn't seem to wipe the Widevine or HDCP keys. I think it's the "all" aspect that can wipe secure key storage.

@tillaz87 I just use the default setting with burn tool which is normal erase, I suspect most users would most likely do the same.
