S905X Android 8.0 Oreo (Tested on Mini M8S II. Possibile to work on other GXL/S905X boxes. Testing needed! "WIP")

[soldiaz]

maybe Ill give it a try with 1GB box!

I still have this one : MiniM8S_Oreo_8.0.0_By_Levy_1Gb_mod.img

But there was a zip update to 8.1.

Do you still have it?

How about flashing 9.0? Shall I first flash 8.00, then the 9.0 zip?

If android 8.0 is already installed ,then you need to install twrp 3.2.3 and install the firmware in twrp.I advise you to first install android 8.1 vanila.All on github.

Make backup android 8.0 before flashing in twrp so that if they return to android 8.0 .

You can then reflash to something else using usb burning and sdcard.

Sorry, I meant that couldn't flash anything since I flashed this rom.
What I tried :
USB BURNING = Computer don't reconize anything even usb device. Tested on 2 computers.
SD CARD FLASH = Nothing on the screen (black screen) and I can reboot after and no brick.
FLASH DIRECTLY FROM ANDROID = Nothing at restart (tried to flash TWRP)
Thanks !

If you installed android 8.0 ,then to install twrp3.2.3 you need to download and open the terminnal emulation on play market.In terminal Write in terminal
1. su
2. dd if=/sdcard/twrp3.2.3.img of=/dev/block/recovery
3. reboot recovery

And you reboot into new twrp3.2.3.In this twrp install the firmware.

Maybe stupid question: I got device with RTL 8723 BS chipset. Nothing works neither wifi nor bluetooth. Any way getting that to work?

Possible to flash TWRP via flashr or something else? Or just teminal?

Through terminal emulation you can flash twrp .I already wrote about this.Does the ethernet cable work?
