How to flash
1. From the archive with the firmware we get the files and throw them on the SD card or on the USB flash drive.
. Sample file set
. hd18t-20140414-12252013-m6-dvbt2.zip
. factory_update_param.aml
. recovery.img
2. insert the card or USB flash drive into the animal.
3. Next, two ways.
3.1. In the first we go on the way all apps select “update” then “local update”
Next, select the archive with the firmware *******. Zip and sew. - In this method, it suffices to *******. zip file.
3.2. The second way is that you plug a small object out of the socket of the animal into the AV socket until it clicks.
(match, toothpick, etc.) and power up after that you remove the match - the firmware will start.
We are waiting for the end and rejoice.

If receivedbrick and nothing helps you, then look here - detailed instructions for recovery using the UART.

for those who want to roll back - and if it does not work by date or gland, we lookHERE

getting Root
Taken from here -getting Root
How to get RTH (root), a device based on AML8726-M6 (MX) OS 4.2.2

1. Downloading the file (thanks to the Mersey guys)

utoo-root-signed.zip

2. Copy it to a regular usb-stick (memory card - may not be seen by the system) under the FAT file system. FAT32, probably even NTFS

3. Insert the USB flash drive into any port of the device

4. In the application menu, we find UPGRADE / UPDATE

5. There we choose where to get the update (flash drive)

6. The device will reboot and voila.

Well, after we setRoot explorerWe give him rights and we can watch everything and everywhere.

Instructions, as well as problems and solutions
How to get to Recovery.
1 way. - plugging the M-BOX out of the socket through the AV connector, plugging the toothpick in until it clicks and turning on the power .
2 way. - from the system using the Rebooter program (available in custom firmware and need Root).
3 way. -
Editing channels (programs) - thank * lucky555

On the remote, click "Menu" - then Section Program - Program Edit - password Enter 0000 - move through the channels - select the desired one - press OK for a long time - figure it out :)

Remove duplicate programs -see previous item

rom39, I have a box like this:
http: //www.aliexpress....ceicer/1604679170.html
I "force" my seller every week about the firmware, I haven’t offered anything intelligible yet, except for my own firmware. We in Minsk broadcast 2 DVB-T multiplexes and 2 DVB-T2 multiplexes, the box catches everything without problems, only you can’t delete the encoded channels on native firmware (editing seems to be provided, only a damn thing doesn’t work), tomorrow I'll try on a new one, unsubscribe



Rep: (1)
Something Chinese gibberish has downloaded. I can’t figure out how to install it.



Rep: (23)
spv 777, You do not rush to flash, judging by the appearance of the outer boxes are different. Install the EU Explorer. Look at the build.prop file. It contains lines of something like
ro.product.model = MBX DVB-T2
ro.product.brand = MBX
ro.product.name = g18ref
ro.product.device = g18ref
ro.product.board = g18ref
This is out of my box, g18ref is the main thing, if you have something wrong, then the firmware will not work
And why should it be wise if it works, it catches only 10 channels out of 20 for me, but I bought it so that I would watch 20 and I’m coolering

but to the point that I caught about 60 channels, 50-encoded, and can’t be deleted, so I also suffer

you drop the firmware onto the SD card in FAT32, turn off the power, insert the card, take the match and insert it into the AV socket until it clicks (there is a special button), apply power and off, connect the set-top box to the TV via HDMI to monitor the process

This is not firmware, firmware is downloaded when you click on the gray arrow with hieroglyphs under the large orange button, the size is about 300 mb


spv 777,
merksor, Guys do not rush to flash what is written in your build.prop about the product name, see post 23, otherwise you will find bricks. My box looks different
It’s easy to flash
We get the archive ***. Rar archive ***. Zip from the downloaded archive. Zip is the firmware itself, we throw it onto the SD card and format it in fat 32
The map in the animal in the animal we go all apps / update / local update select our archive ***. Zip further intuitive

And please tell me how to check for the presence of a signal on this box? And then already vague doubts begin to torment me.

you can’t check in any way, if there is a signal, then you should scan the channels. It depends on the antenna and location, it automatically finds

how to check for a signal

I have a second TV set with a DVBT antenna stuck everything shows you here and check. You can take a prefix from someone and check with your antenna for yourself, you can drag the box and connect it in a known workplace.
In short, the method of scientific poking



Rep: (23)
I report. He took out the antenna to the balcony and caught a miracle of 20 channels, but after a couple of minutes of watching stsuko hangs tightly. I think the matter is in the quality of the signal or in the firmware, but it pleases)))
I drip on the seller’s brain further



Rep: (23)
Rom39 @ 05/05/2014, 22:07*
He took out the antenna to the balcony and about a miracle I caught 20 channels

which is to be expected, just many people think that if the number is then you can catch on a nail

So the mother (though in another locality) catches a nail.



Rep: (23)
rom39, , thanks for the link, the box was updated as a native. XBMC is installed immediately, it catches channels, only you’ll remove the horseradish again. Maybe, who knows: in which folder are the channel files in Android?



Rep: (23)
SPV 777 @ 05/06/2014, 06:52*
many think
that once 10 channels of the first multiplex catches, then the second should also be received (without changing the location of the antenna) but no



Rep: (23)
Hooray !!! found how to delete, rename, etc. Go to the DTV menu, go to Program Edit-ok-0000-ok-go to the unnecessary channel, press the OK button for a long time, the additional window pops up, delete, rename and etc., do what you need.
It accepts channels normally and does not freeze, so far for me.



Rep: (1)
It wasn’t a bobbin ..... Our equipment turned out to be flying the other day, so there is no signal. I will wait until they fix it.



Rep: (23)
spv 777, Well, that’s wonderful, I said that we’ll win together. It stopped hanging when I put the antenna in the zone of reliable reception. And from XBMC what use?

merksor, Patience, my friend and finding the right firmware :-)

Rom39 @ 05/08/2014, 10:32 PM*
What good is XBMC?

good wrapper for the media player, the next week will try rutanut box, posnoshu all the excess is set nuzhnoe.kstati noticed that sometimes, for no reason at all fall off wi-fi.na manufacturer's website saw proshivochku for problems with wi-fi, but for such as boxes, but without DVB-T2, dumb experiment, if it had not brick poluchit.kakie thoughts are on this? yes, still do not get any or rename channels from the console or with Claudia, dial the required name-ca-an empty space ( nothing) nor old nor new, and you have both?
