QUOTE(WIS9000 @ Jun 10 2017, 11:23 PM) It's possible. I've just managed to flash the global rom into the China set. Everything is working fine except for casting which only works from pc (not working if casting from phone youtube). Steps are quite straight forward, and can be found on a Vietnamese forum (Goole translate helps). But do take note of possible risk of bricking the unit. You have been warned. Would like to ask everyone with the Malaysian set, does the remote comes with a mic? I haven't managed to try the voice search function, and while the remote does have the rotate touch and slide feature, I can't seem to find any pin hole for a mic. Voice search still works via a Google remote app, where the phone transmit the voice to the box. Another question regarding Astro Go app. I am previously using the app on my older mibox 2, and it also works fine before I flash the global rom today. But now after side loading into this global rom, the main screen app is tilted down 90 (sleeping sideways), unless I managed to navigate until a show is playing and the I can expand the view to a proper full screen. Any idea how to solve this? I think am on the latest Astro Go version. mind to share which link to get the tutorial how to flash the china version white color MiBox to International version

V2 need to do some donation (at least 20000 VND = equivalent to RM3.7) only can get password to unzip the installation file. V2 come with some issue fixed like Airplay, miracast, etc

Previously on xda, some guy was kind enough to host the file after the donated to the developer, but that was for the mibox 3S files. Not the white one.

Hi, I just bought the mibox and I am facing this problem, Youtube video keeps buffering, even though I set the quality to 480p, it still keeps buffering. I'm using 8Mb Streamyx. All the other apps such as iFlix and other video streaming app runs smoothly @720p. App from PlayStore also downloading at the correct download speed.
So anyone encounter this problem?

So anyone encounter this problem? Is the resolution on your mi box set to auto? Otherwise it might be trying to play at a higher resolution. Also set you tube resolution to auto.

Use TubeMate to find the desired video, click on the full screen icon, then select the video resolution, play it with an external player (MX Player), the video will play smoothly even @1080p. It's a bit troublesome, but I think I have to use it this way until l find out what's wrong with the Youtube app.

How did you guy find the mibox so far? As good as Apple TV? For Kodi installation, u can download using other device like PC and install the APK or using Google Play in Mibox. Comparing with Apple TV, Mibox is way more better unless u have subscribed to paid content in Apple TV.
