Is it really that hot ? Until need to add fan or heat sink ?

I think the wifi performance is the #1 problem. I don't have any other problems with it.

May I know which version you're using for TWRP & Magisk on this Nougat?

The magisk is the usual magisk, you can use the stable 14.0 version.

The TWRP is the TWRP for amlogic reference design p212 ( link in this thread ). That TWRP works for Android 6. It might not work for other boards.

For me, this p212 TWRP did not work for Nought. That is Android 6 TWRP wont work for Nought.

It seems the Nought bootloader can only boot the Recovery if the kernel in the recovery matches with the one in the boot image. So I created a customize TWRP for the ROM image 2g/16g. Likely it won't work for other ROMs.

If one presses the reset button to boot the recovery on the SD card, if that did not work, it might boot the stock recovery in the internal storage. And the default behaviour of stock recovery is to wipe your data partition (factory reset). I factory reseted my ROM a few times because of that.

A bit long story.

As mentioned by BOTAK_WAI, use usb burning tool to burn new ROM. The reset button is behind the SPDIF port ( not the AV port ).

Get toothpick ( non-conductor ). Detach from power supply, attach the usb cable to pc, start the burning tool, press and hold the reset button using toothpick, then insert the other end of USB cable to tv box. Burning will start.

Might need to try a few times.

In case you want to try TWRP, you can use the TWRP on this link :-

Base on my limited testing, the Amlogic android 7 bootloader matches the kernel before it will allow to boot. The TWRP in the above link is matched with the ROM given by BOTAK_WAI. If you have other ROMs, it might not boot.

Put the file on SDcard, rename as recovery.img and press hold reset button using toothpick, then insert power.

dont worry la. here at least TS, me and BOTAK also brick the box because of the dam SuperSU thing. Still got one more PM me but the one send back to lazada to claim warranty.

using toothpick method didnt bring any good news... will try amlogic buring tool method.. just found male to male usb cable..

ok igive another try using trwp that @puchongite give.. can get into trwp... and install supersu... now can boot already... but ethernet cannot detect...

Try update to latest firmware, see whether is firmware fault or the hardware problems.

Its android version 7.1.2 security patch lvl may 5 2017... try check update it said up to date
when i restart the ethernet icon came up... i see router blinking then after < 1min it disappear..

we mean the firmware upgrade via usb burning tool.

Hello guy,

I've little bit read some topics here.

I'm a newbee. few days ago a've received an docooler android box.
model M9S Pro 3g/32g.
After using 2 day I start the superSU for update and from this time my device is freezing on MBOX. locked on boot loader.

I've downloaded the rom for 3g/32g but how to do after?

Should I use an SDCard or a software and special cable?
Thanks.

You can try changing a different cable.

Or if your router supports it, change the ethernet setting. Disable auto negotiate or fixed the speed to 100 baseT. Or change to static IP.

Worse come to worst change a different ROM.

The ROM is designed to be used with a usb burning tool.

Won't work with SDcard update.

my router is zte single box from tm... dont know much in network... but will try to tweak it
