I have installed the ota. Zip along with recovery. Img given in the rar and the box turned to ATV but the Netflix and amazon prime video are not working. And the YouTube lags a lot with no chrome.

You tried to flash via male-male cable?

Can you enter stock recovery?

I recently purchased mecool m8s pro W box(NORMAL TV BOX) and I tried to flash the ATV rom of the same box via OTA. It got restarted and nothing is seen other than black screen. I tried the USB burning tool method as well as the card burn maker. Nothing worked so far. PLEASE help me, I tried this on the day of purchase and I am totally disappointed now.

Hi I would have a question about a Mecool M8S PRO W 2.4G android 7.1.2 firmware from 2018.07.24 blue motherboard Can I install this Mecool M8S PRO W TVStock Nexus ROM

[nashpantheron]

I successfully installed this ROM to my Mecool Pro W (earlier normal version with Mecool stock launcher, not the newer ATV OS one) 2GB+16GB p21x version. What I did, I just put the OTA ZIP file downloaded from the first page of this thread to a flash drive, then install it using the OTA Updates inside the stock menu, just tick the 'Data Wipe' option only, then just leave it to the rest. It will took a while for the very first boot and then everything else boot as expected with fresh new looks of proper Android TV launcher. Thanks a lot Magendaz for this awesome ROM that you've prepared for the community. Really appreciated all your hard work mate. God bless you.

hello guys,
I can't update from the recovery I always get a long list of errors starting with E: failed to mount /cach (no such file or directory) ... what to do ??

[adi9981]

Ok so I've installed the ROM through the Update app. Now all I have is a black screen and a blue LED on the device. Is my box bricked? What do I do now?

Hell yeah!

I finally managed to flash ATV to my m8s pro w. If it helps anyone I ended up doing it as duscribed in this thread

The first few times i couldnt get past the error about the rom beeing older than the installed rom even though I changed the dates in step 2. What I think made it work was that I restarted the box after I changed the dates. So after the restart I didnt get the error and everything went fine.

Thanks for your help.

Having the last rom Magendanz provided for my Mecool M8S Pro W I'm having problem with Netflix app, shows error without even entering the app. I suspect that Netflix has locked our device with it's latest releases. Is there someone here who has a working Netflix and if yes can he inform us about his Netflix app version?

At your own risk

Just tried this method but I fail when I should select recovery image file in Flashify. I click select file and then Flashify freezes. No file dialog shows.
What could be the problem?
I'm starting to think that god doesn't want me to succeed with this rom change....
