Well.... brand new to android media boxes got this cheap off ****. with little to no research .gif "FacePalm")
. I didn't mind the firmware that came with it other then I just hate not having root and wanted a more custom rom to go into it. upon opening the box to figure out what might work I found it to just be a regular HDMI stick vs a real box ... the chips on it were similar to that of a CX919 . After checking things over again I decided to flash the stock rom that I located on GeekBuying http://blog.geekbuying.com/index.php.../#.Un0T_5zn-fA much to my surprise almost the rom worked perfect with working Wifi and Ethernet and fairly decent multimedia performance MX player working great with HW decoding ... this was fairly shaky/unstable with the original stock rom.. next up I decided to go with Finless ROM 1.6b that also worked but the wifi did not ever enable and I was not able to reboot without the rom files getting all out of wack.... So a bit more searching and I found some firmware that was basically stock with root and archtools that allowed me to install the clockworkmod for backups and flashing new roms http://www.arctablet.com/blog/forum/...ware-20130730/ ... figured i'd post this here incase anyone else has one of these Frankenstein boxes

... I'm almost positive a USB A to USB A connector would work on all these devices. just make sure not to connect power or HDMI to avoid any chance of damage .. I didn't have this type of uncommon cable or I would have tried myself. Once you have clockworkmod working you can flash via boot to recovery and connecting to the pc isn't necessary anymore
