Thanks sifu, glad to know this method works!

Limitation that I'm aware of:
1) No more Airplay/miracast
Any else?

The unit I have comes with Galaxy TV and some "pre-installed" app, however, most of them are unusable...
As long as it runs iflix/dimsum/kodi well, then it's fine by me (not gonna use screen mirroring anyway)
*
Casting from phone does not work, but seems like there is a solution of using seagate cast mentioned in the last few pages, which i will try later.
Casting from web browser works fine.

i presume your unit also does not have the voice remote with mic to activate the google voice search. i do not have that so not sure if this feature works or not.

Of the 3 apps listed, i can only confirm that Kodi works well. Astro app also working fine once you set the correct keyboard and rotate the screen using other apps. Others app in your list, not sure. You can try and report back.

That is the version cause the issue.

Temp solution for that firmware - Press power button off and then on back is required for install not Android TV OS apps.

Astro GO will FC if open using remote control as the keyboard pop-up cause the FC. You need to use mouse or gamepad act a mouse to open Astro GO apps.
*
Any advantages to update then? Seems like more trouble to user.

About your Mibox intl edition, need some helps from you smile.gif since only 1 usb port there, if say we connected one ext hdd to it using USB Hub, and then another port at USB hub connected usb receiver for logitech keyboard and mouse combo, will both the device working properly when streaming 1080P or 4K video from the ext hdd? thanks!
*
i have a similar configuration as well, just that i am using a USB stick in place of the ext HDD.
Works well most of the time until someone touches the usb hub's connection / cable. if that happens, then need to restart the mibox again for my case.

Hi All, just to share - I managed to flash my Chinese ROM to International ROM for my Mibox 3S (Model number MDZ-19-AA)!!

I followed this link:
http://en.miui.com/thread-804634-1-1.html

Below are the photos of the International ROM interface.
Able to access Google Playstore to download apps.
Able to login in Crunchyroll, Spotify etc with no issue.

However you will need to sideload (download and install apk manually into the mibox directly) Netflix and other apps. It wont work if you download it from Playstore.
ES File Explorer is your best buddy in sideloading apps:
1) Download the aok via pc.
2) Open APK folder in Dropbox.
3) Sync it to ES file explorer.
4) Directly install the apk from Mibox.

I use Minimal ADB and Fastboot on my pc for all the debugging, you can just google and download it on your pc.

Now, I just need to purchase a premium IPTV package to watch live channels, movies and erhem contents...

Hi. Sorry I not sure what you mean of x-ray feature.

Edit: Your mean this ? - https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.cnet.com/g...ows-and-movies/

I didn't seen this, I think it only appear when pause the movie. Google Play Movie also added such function recently and it only show when you pause the movie.
*
yup. it tells u more about the movie, i.e. scene you are watching, actor info etc.
nice touch, but not sure if the remote is able to navigate thru all their menus without issues.

Possible. There are steps to convert AA to AB just search the net. However its not 100% if not mistaken ... Some of the casting feature doesn't work as the AB version
*
yes, possible. i am using china unit with international fw. even getting the oreo and the latest updates. and casting does not work except if you cast from desktop chrome.

hi all, my mibox 3 is starts acting up on me recently.
it started off with storage running low especially if i ran and watched AOTG. This was simply fixed by a manual restart most of the time.
but just recently, it would go into recovery mode or keep rebooting on its own. and when in Recovery, my remote does not responds and i'll have to restart the power.

Any one facing similar issue or know of solution to this?
