I tot this box will automatic power on when you plug in the power? It does not have any on/off switch right?

If it stay red, it means it could be bricked.

As for the remote, how does it look like? For the same box, that could be many clone out there and they used different remote.

Edited. Wrong post.

Where u stay?
Kl or Penang.

Try read about usb burning tool and armlogic boot maker.

Your m8s is red light or blue light when on?
Red means brick as in can't even boot.

Challenge here is finding the right firmware.

PM me if you still can't follow after Google about usb burning tool or armlogic boot maker.

Can you also add another line for ram?
8gb ram is very misleading for any beginner.

Thanks.

Edit: forget abt my comments here. After refresh, i see it is fixed.

If same spec and price, definite Beelink have better firmware support.
H96PRO Pro+ also come with ddr4 now on latest batch, firmware is very uncertain at the moment. DDR3 can run super celeron custom ROM not DDR4.

See 1st page.

Still not yet resolve?
Send to me , I help you solve it.

I will help you short emmc and reflash to Android 5.

Can post a picture of the PCB?
Maybe can get more info on how to reset it.

You need to setup exodus download location and playback display in directory instead of dialog.

Just my 2-cents here.

1) You may want to consider this, RK chipset is not very recommended here due to codec support. It is very poor or virtually not there.
I THINK this may have been fix in Android 7.X. but likely you wont get the same support in 8.0

2) With More RAM(3gb) is very helpful in my senario that i often switch out from kodi to open other tv app or file explorer or aotg. With more ram, i notice it does not close those app completely and it open as where left off.
Compare to my others 2gb box sometimes, it will have to restart Kodi after open too much app at sametime.
Conclusion it is not crucial for 2gb or 4gb at the moment. For cautions if 1gb, because Kodi will not run smoothly. 2gb is the minimum level.

Cheers

I would advise you to take a look at H96pro+ 3gb/32gb with Superceleron custom rom, Alfawise H96pro+ SCV6. It performed as above for kodi/quasar and others user feedback mentions working with HD audio passthrough but not AC3.

But there always some downside you should also consider, the box restricted air flow, thus alot of user are recommended to make holes or add fan or cahnge heatsink due to SCV6 is running octa core and overclocked GPU.

Lastly it is unrooted by default and atog not working by default.
But after flash magicsk, atog work well.

On item 1, lucky for me AOTG still can run for my H96pro plus with SCV7 rom.

Agree with puchongite, it is difficult to find a tvbox to run ATOG.
It may run now, but 3 months later maybe no...never know.

Customs from from Superceleron in freaktab.
Still using latest AOTG here.

Funny with this rom, it is not rooted, it have to be rooted to run AOTG.

Mine is S912 3gb/32gb.

Funny for me, non rooted itself cant run AOTG, but rooted with magisk to hide root only can run.

Forum link
http://freaktab.com/forum/tv-player-suppor...77-wifi-chipset

Magisk to hide root, i starting from ver. 13.x and now running 14.3.

I wont agree magisk is effectively hiding root.
I COULD ONLY GUESS If you original firmware is non- rooted then magisk could help hide.

Else if original boot already rooted and flashing magisk here does not help at alll.

My advise to you is the goto that forum to read yourself.
Take couple of days to go thru the first few pages and also last 10-20 pages.

It is too much variation in H96 and even from same vendor also have variations.

It is always VERY VERY risky if you dont understand...so stay away from it.

If you read but have very done flashing armlogic box before...also dont attempt if you still have doubt or dont have original firmware.

If you are sure and clear why not.?

No, mine got it from lazada.

True!
Need open a big hole on top or add cooling fan on top or bottom.

No issue for me including streaming upto 4K movie within kodi.
FYI, i dont have av system so cant comment much on audio passthrough. I know from forum feedback is DTS work but no AC3.

Mine is green, but want stretching this again, but same vendor also have variations. Mine brought in Feb2018.

For wifi no issue with my h96 box.


I see feedback, that some of them have problem due to internal antenna was stick on the wrong place or drop out from the glue or the somehow contacting the ground signal.

You might want to check your and move away from processor or chips. Better if you drill a hole and make that antenna standing straight.

Review from here on video playback seem okay only, not outstanding and temperature also can high depending on application.
