can i download rom and Flash of
m8s+ firmware for m8s
kindly suggest me
Sent from my XT1068 using XDA Forums
apparently you can, however you will have problems with your wifi (IIRC) - from what i've gathered so far these things can be temperamental and if you've got a clone unit you may run into trouble
I have one of the M8S S812 OTT boxes and want to replace Android with Openelec. I have found a few .zip file ports of Openelec but I am stuck at the first hurdle. My particular box is crippled by intent as it doesn't have ADB developer settings in its Android settings menu and additionally it doesn't seem to have an Android recovery Partition. I was hoping there might be a simple Android based tool to install a version of TWRP (which I have found two compatible versions). The surprising thing is it is ROOTED by default.
I confirmed this state of affairs by installing some boot to recovery apps which simply reboot the box. Is there a way to do this via SSH which I can probably get setup.
My motivation is two fold, the box is to be used purely as a TV client and MPG2 decoding is marginal so removing the CPU overheads of Android can only help.
Any help would be appreciated.
I have succesfully upgraded firmware using SDcard from here:
https://www.entertainmentbox.com/latest-m8s-firmware-download/
It comes included with their own version of Kodi(EBMC) 16.1
M8S runs better than original rom and works flawless. (update OTA works again)

I grabbed that but didn't install it successfully. Its an OTA update which don't work with TWRP. I might have to work out how to restore the Android recovery partition so that I can try this with OTA firmware.
Cheers for the heads up, now how to get the recovery partition back without flashing a whole new firmware img file.

Snabbletax, can you tell me which version of Android this ROM contains. Its only going to be worth updating if it is Lollipop.
Edit: I attempted to get this working on my box but it failed the signature test. I am going to have to reload TWRP and recover my last backup since it did pick up another ROM which took me way back to square one.
I suspect that the only upgrade path for me is to find a full ROM img file to burn - but there are none of those about.

Hi, I have successfully ported TWRP 3.0.2-0 to the Sunvell T95Z Plus.
You can flash it with Rashr app, boot it on Micro SD with the "Update&Backup" app and a dummy update.zip (rename it to recovery.img) or with the toothpick trick on boot. (rename it to recovery.img)

A bad thing, there is a problem for restoring System partition on "Superceleron V1 Final ROM" with TWRP, if you do this you will have
"Error during restore process.
extractTarFork() process ended with ERROR: 255"
and you will not be able to boot. I'm sure that come from the ROM, an other user on Freaktab.com have the problem on the same ported ROM on NEXBOX A1 box: http://freaktab.com/forum/tv-player-...481#post623481

UPDATE 09/02/2017
Updated TWRP for 7.1.1 firmware (Nougat): https://mega.nz/#!poAmXTTL!geVautNHmuTH4egOGw9mTcO7L37oVN95aHqTrGCqRVE
I rooted the box with Magisk but should works with SuperSu too.
Thanks to @simonjonnemeth for giving me the link of the firmware on post #18
Have a nice day
Hi! It will work on other s912 devices? I have Beelink GT1.

I don't know, it will probably boot (pretty sure) but you will probably not see any partitions. You can try and feedback
thanks, it works!
Thanks! Works on my T95Z-plus. The only issue I've found so far is that OTA system updates don't work. Once the update has downloaded the box reboots into recovery (TWRP). Then sits there. Nothing obvious to install. Reboot to system shows old version not new version.
The official TWRP position seems to be that they don't support OTA system updates, so maybe there's no fix for this. If you know of one please let us know. TheT5ZP0033 update is waiting to be installed but I have no idea how to do it with TWRP installed.
Update: I reasoned that the best method of applying the OTA would be to restore the original recovery, apply the OTA update, and then again flash TWRP. I found two different versions of the the recovery.img here:
https://mega.nz/#F!xlwAmIrD!Dg_1Kqgl1Jp0eGB67fV7Cw
One is individually listed, the other is in the zip. Neither worked. After the OTA download the box tried to boot the recovery and crashed with a dead android with an open door on his chest. Luckily a simple power off-on recovered.
Anyone know of another source of working recovery.img? Or, if there's somebody who has T5ZP0032 running and hasn't yet replaced the stock recovery, maybe you could do us a favor and dd the recovery block to a file on external storage and post a link. Something like:
dd if=/dev/block/recovery of=<myStorageDevice>recovery.img
thx man, i wil try it tonight \m/
I'm guessing some of these T95Z boxes come with an unlocked bootloader. I have an Evanpo T95Z and I have confirmed with the manufacturer that the bootloader is locked. Anyone know how to unlock the bootloader. It already came rooted.

I wish I knew that some of these T95Z boxes had a locked bootloader before I bought my Evanpo branded one. As far as I know Sunvell does not have a 3 GB RAM version yet, do you know if there is another brand of T95Z with 3 GB RAM that has an unlocked bootloader?

Ok, did more research and found the Sunvell branded T95Z with 3GB/32GB and ordered one online. Hopefully all the Sunvell versions have unlocked bootloaders. I really want to load your TWRP. What version of Android are you running? Does that matter with your version of TWRP?

If you look on Sunvell official website all T95 devices have the same spec: S912 soc, 2GB/16GB and Android 6. If you found a different config it's probably a clone. If your device have Android 7 the kernel will probably be different and TWRP will probably not works, the better way to be sure is to try

I used this on my 3/32 gig Android 6.01 box and it booted fine .. I was not able to mount ex_Sdcard but was able to use USB-OTG
Their is no option in the Backup to backup Firmware is their anyway to add this as My box has a totally different Wifi chip than all those on Freaktab (FN-Link 8223A-SR F04001) and I would really hate to totally loose Wifi because of a Rom flash.
I did a Full backup of all the partitions but I'm just not sure Wifi would be restored without the original Firmware backed up

Any idea if anyone's working on porting it for 7?
I'm working on a theory that if I could install magisk to verify play store, change the build prop to a Sony 4k tv or similar then be able to install android tv launcher does that sound believable?
What about the T95Z with the latest 7.1 firmware? I'm getting desperate for root access but I don't want to flash this and find out that my device won't boot because I really don't want to have to go through re-flashing it again. SuperSU was successful with a normal installation, but then it wouldn't boot past the T95Z logo and hunting down the official 7.1 ROM for this device was a nightmare but I found it.

Absolutely. I found it over on the freaktab forums (http://freaktab.com/forum/tv-player...5z-plus-3gb-32gb-wifi-chip-ap6255-help-needed).
The thread's for the 3/32gb variant, but firmware for both variants is on there.
MEGA link: https://mega.nz/#F!YJ0nTC4Z!qBz6gmJCjwHn0HtlVe2apw
I didn't realize it but this firmware already has ROOT access, though somehow with no superuser app so I didn't realise at first, but I still wouldn't mind a working build of TWRP because I would like to install Magisk.
This was a nightmare to find so I imagine it'll be very useful to other T95Z owners.

No it's not, but i stopped using the box, now im on H96+ that work better 4 me,
i have flashed the 2/16 Rom once on the bigger sister, the box showed after that only the 2/16gb rom/ram... and worked,
Me work
i just bricked mine using that image; it showed "upgrading" for a about 5 seconds and then puf switched off, now no blue light, only the red (power) one :-(
I own the Bqeel 2019 Android 8.1 TV Box Y4 MAX / Amlogic S905X2 Quad Core / 4G DDR4+64G eMMC / Dual WIFI 2.4/5.8G + 100M LAN / tv box Bluetooth 4.0 / USB 3.0/ HDMI 2.1 /4K Smart TV Box .
I have tried many custom roms and none of them seem to work in the correct manner. I am able to use the latest USB burning tool but lot of these custom roms will flop on me after the install process. I feel like there is something usually wrong with the WIFI side. if it is not a wifi problem, then it is the remote control.
I have yet to find a custom rom where I can load and then use the device the way it is suppose to be. I want the remote to work correctly. Keep in mind that I do have a direct Ethernet connection for this device.
I have contacted the original manufacturer hoping that they can send me the original default firmware.
Back to the topic, i am interested in the best, the latest, and the one the works the most for this device. All solutions have failed for me thus far.
ps: i will re try the following .img files that I was able to obtain from FreakTabs
- XTM_ATV_X96_4_4 (this one will not connect to the internet directly. it needs a cell phone or tablet, so i can transfer over the Wifi and Google Account settings. For some reason, this is impossible because it keeps asking for my WIFI password which i have entered many times in the device);
- Poison_S905x2_V2.0 (this one is easy to install but after the install, the GUI seems stuck. I can't open up any apps, and the weather icon is always spinning).
Again, i have tried maybe 5 different custom roms from freaktabs (i am sure they are posted here) and none of them seem to work.
Hello , i have same issue here
i flashed many times with many roms and no one work properly.
Sometimes i have no wifi/ethernet or no remote.
please if someone have the stock firmware of Bqeel y4 max 905x2 4/64go

I have the same problem.
I have tried many custom roms but nothing seems to work. Wifi and Bluetooth issues is a problem.
I too need STOCK firmware. I have extra device that is not been messed around with but i do not know how to make back up from stock rom. If i can make stock up rom with one app, i will do it ASAP and perhaps share it.
Edit: So I am able to obtain a back up of the stock firmware via Twrp from my second device, but it is not compatible with the other Bqeel system. All i see is the Bqeel Boot Logo.
I am still able to boot into recovery, and i can also install other custom roms (those custom roms stink).
I still need the orgiinal stock firmware in .img or i need a custom rom that actually works really great.
For those who want to purchase this device, you can but do not mess with custom roms. Just remove default apps and enjoy the default OS.
I contact the seller of my box (bqeel y4 max 4/64go) today
he gonna send me the stock firmware Asap.
I 'll share it when i 'll recieve it.
Thanks

I did the same thing. They sent me the stock firmware. the device works great now! there is another hiccup though. For usb burning tool, you will need some license files. when you load the .img file in the program, it will not accept it. You need the license files (just transfer them in the directory in usb burning tool)
here is the link for license files and stock firmware.

Hi
Can somebody now tell me if firmware from bqeel.net works or not becuse I've seen a loot that say it's stuck at logo screen or it won't boot
Does it work or no?
so far the best custom ATV ported ROM I've found for this box is here: https://forum.freaktab.com/forum/tv...ionatv__bqeel_u214-y8_max_1000m_s905x3-test57
it is due for an update but works as is. I also have a SlimBox ROM that works for the Bqeel but I'll have to upload that to my Mega folder and share the link.

I have been trying to find a method to update the android version on Hisilicon Hi3796 M100 android Set top box which is at present running android 4.4.2. As the android is this old, it doesn't support a good number of apps, from playstore, or by adb. I tried to find a custom rom online, but couldn't find. Is there one? Or is there any way to update the os if there is no official update available?
Moving from Android 4.4.2 to Android 5.0+ is an upgrade not an update.
To upgrade you need a Custom ROM what requires you have to flash a Custom Recovery ( e.g. TWRP ) before. Do you have a 100% matching TWRP available?
Hey,
Thank you for the quick reply. And thank you again for correcting that update-upgrade thing. Will keep it in mind.
And I am sorry I couldn't find a custom ROM for my device online. I am not sure what exactly it means by flashing a custom recovery.
Could you please explain it a little bit... or give some link from where I could find it out?
Thank you.
