  1. I want to upgrade the firmware on MBOX-S82B with Amlogic’s new S802B quad core processor (AML8726), running 1.6 -2Ghz and Android 4.4.

    I have downloaded the .zip and .exe files into the MBox s82B but I can extract the zip file and run the exe file. So I cannot launch the USB burning tool at all.

    Also the HDMI port in the Mbox s82B is not working at all – I have tested the HDMI cable and have tested the HDMI port in the TV and both are working well.

    Can you help on these two points please.

    Many thanks

    • Dear sbk,

      The upgrade method should work for other Amlogic S812 players. You are better to ask manufacturer for the ROM. There is some risk to flash other rom to your TV BOX, please pay attention!

      thanks,

  5. Yesterday I got myself an Mbox S82B, I connected all the cables to the right ports but still I have no Image on my TV. Tried resetting my MboxS82B through the AV port but still no difference. Also connected the Mbox S82B on different HDMI ports and also on the AV port but still with the same result. Any suggestions? Should I flash the box with new firmware? Since I do not want to void any warranty if I get complaints from the supplier

  7. I bought 20 boxes of s82 from overseas. 6 of then have a bad wifi strength. When I run a speed test the speed is usually less than 2mbs. I flashed you new firmware and it seemed to help some of them. They came with firmware 8 and I flashed your 11. The wifi even zaps my iphone strength. It’s weird. Is there a fix for this? I appreciate all your info you guys provide.

  8. I bought 20 s82 boxes from overseas. They came with firmware 8. I had an issue with wifi strength. The speediest would show a strength of 1-2 Mbps. It even drains my iphone strength to 1-2 Mbps. I flashed your firmware 11 update and it seemed to fix some of them. But I still have 6 boxes that the wifi speed is just terrible. Do you know of any solutions or why this would happen? I thank you for all your info you guys put on the web. Very awesome.
