Originally posted by Magendanz View PostIn the spirit of the Pure Nexus Project, these TVStock Nexus ROMs deliver the pure Android TV experience using the Open GApps TVStock Package. The goal is to keep true to Google's vision and use the bare minimum of OEM or third-party apps or add-ons, which can be added a la carte by the user as needed, just as I've done with the Stock and Nano variants.
TVStock variant includes:- Open GApps TVStock Package
- Open GApps Nano Package
- Google Chrome Browser (replaces stock/AOSP Browser)
- App Drawer 1.0 from CyanogenMod/LineageOS
- Terminal app from LineageOS
- TWRP Recovery 3.2.3-0 by TeamWin
- Updated to latest M8S Pro LB OEM firmware (20180803.173707.V0213)
- Latest build from Open GApps (20181111)
- Google Cast service works from Chrome browser, but apparently requires Google license to work from Android apps.
- TVStock Variant: BURN PACKAGE (1.00GB IMG file), OTA UPDATE (552MB ZIP file)
- Flash burn package with Amlogic USB Burning Tool v2.0.8 or BootcardMaker v2.0.0.2
- This firmware is designed for the newer M8S Pro LB variant with the Broadcom BCM4335 wireless chipset. If you install it on earlier (LQ) hardware, WiFi and Bluetooth won't work. (The variant should be the last two letters in the string above the bar code on the bottom.)
- The underlying OEM firmware for this build is pre-rooted, so this is too.
- The updater is signed, and so can be installed in the Update app, the stock recovery, or TWRP. It's designed for incremental updates, since user data is preserved. If you're installing for the first time, you should include a data wipe.
- The safest bet is always to install the full Amlogic burn package with USB Burning Tool. With no reset switch, you can trigger USB detection by typing "reboot update" in a terminal window.
- The local terminal app shows after being enabled in Settings->Developer Options.
- Flash ROMs at your own risk and always remember to back up your data first. The burn package includes a factory reset.

We've come up dry too. I'm assuming you didn't get this OTA, which would be better, but I can work with a TWRP backup. Please include the boot and system partitions. Ideally, I'd like the bootloader and dtb partitions too, but I don't think you can get that from TWRP.
UPDATE: We found it here: https://mega.nz/#F!rBFx0SZI!Xd-9Ft66lazVdGNqD8PETwLast edited by Guest; 04 December 2018, 00:24.

Hi, new owner since today of this grant Android Box, for one side the UI is lovely like every google certified one, but frustrate can't install many apps like common TV Boxes, with this one is possible or still is pure Android TV kernel?
For example can't run HBO Nordic (europe version), can install it downloading the APK but after login automatically close it.
Thanks in advance.

Hi all,
I'm going to install this Rom on my box soon and what I would like to know is this...
Is there a tool or some kind of software that will backup the original Rom that came with the box so that if anything goes wrong I can re-flash the original Rom??
Looks like a great Rom and thanks to the Dev for the great work

For now i found AirScreen to make it work, even if you don't pay it, with some annoying ads, provides basic functionality... How did you make it work from chromecast built in to crome browser?
