M8 or M8N

I have an issue which is in 2 different boxes. The one is an M8N (newer version) and the second is an M8. It seems that the M8N accepts your openelec and works fine while the M8 although correctly installs then it keeps freezing while in XBMC. I know that their only difference is the updated software and the remote. So is there an android version which I need to install on the M8 before installing Openelec?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] codesnake:
You don't need to install any specific Android version before installing OE on M8. If one M8 works with OE and another doesn't, the they are different, isn't?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] angelos35:
I have found what my mistake was. I installed an android version meant for M8N on the M8. Now am trying to find a way to revert to the M8 android version but it wont install over the other version. The reason of the problem with installing Openelec is probably drivers which are not meant for the M8. Need to find an image and install through a pc.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] codesnake:
As i said M8 doesn't use ANYTHING from the Anroid firmware you install it over, so it is not important what Android firmware was installed before OpenELEC.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] angelos35:
So why do you think that this happens on the M8 and not the M8N? And is only on the box that I accidentally installed the M8N android software. You think it corrupted something else?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] codesnake:
Because they are different in some way.

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Quihico:
Big thanks for all your hard work. I've used your ports on both MX2 & M8 and I really enjoy them. Anxious for version 5.0 to come out and I know a lot of MiniX owners who would love to have OpenELEC on their boxes. I agree that it is near impossible to support all of the current amlogic chipsets since there's simply so many of them around and you are alone. If and when OpenELEC releases an official build for the WeTek Play I reckon your workload would be relieved somewhat. Another solution would be a cooperation/collaboration. I would be very interested if you were looking for someone to teach your magic/process to. (i have extensive user experience and also dabble in modding the systemfiles, so far mostly for the raspberry pi bu lately also for the MX2 & M8). Anywho, keep up the good work!

Hi codesnake can u help with my problem?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gboxuser:
ok, i've been there, so i figured i'd post what seems to have solved this exact issue for me.

Every install (1.1.6, then a couple of erase cache/data cycles, then 3-file-toothpick thing with OE 4.2.1) went absolutely fine.

After a while the box would show these errors. Sometimes it would shut off and reboot with no issues for months. Then one day the error would be back and i had to repeat the install process.

I am guessing the data partition gets corrupted. At first I thought it might be the 'hardware-poweroff' i always use (poweroff on remote), so i started to only use the software poweroff from the startsreen. Still would occur after some time.

Then i found a very simple solution that didn't make any sense to me, but worked for months until today. And i continue to use the remote poweroff button...

See if this works for you:

1. download the recovery/bootimage here: https://wiki.matricom.net/i/MX2#Bootloop

2. Unpack the two files to a formatted FAT(32) SDCARD

3. Download or copy you favourite firmware, in my case OpenELEC 4.2.1, to the SCARD

4. You now hace 3 files on your SDCARD, safely eject it from your system

5. Insert SDCARD into the MX2, unplug and use the toothpick method. Installation should start.

6. MX2 will reboot and your up&running

gboxuser

Gbox q MySql

SOLVED ::: I just set the wait to 30 seconds. Only took about 18 seconds but that did the trick, now reading the database!!

Ok after 42 pages of posts I see only one person stating the same thing as me. I have the gbox q running the latest 5 rc3 Kodi. The splash screen loads then blinks right into Kodi. Even with the delay setting on, the box does not stop from loading kodi before networking (wifi or wired) so in essence it wont read/create a mysql database.

I have been using the same advanced settings file for all my devices for many different versions so that is spot on. My MX2 with this version runs and does the delay and created new tables on my testing server.

I dont know of any more information I can present to you for assistance, but any will be appreciated. I really want this box to work but if its not possible I will just return it and get a new MX2 to replace it.

Thank you for all your hard work!!!!

This was tanwei@tanwei 2014 #2, but with latest tanwei@tanwei 2015 #1 it is nog possible to get into flash menu with paperclip method.

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] smory84:
Hi,

As I mention, please find a link for M8 built with Kodi 14.1 RC1. It is based on Codesnake work, but also contains lot of other adjustments made by Kerber.

I been using this for about 2 weeks now and lot of issues were solved like blinking of picture when watching IPTV, loosing picture after 3rd channel change in a row on IPTV, 23,976 FPS issue seem to be gone...

I have only one issue, but I guess it's related to my special network setup - I am loosing my static routes manually configured for vlan interface (iptv.vlan), which sometimes makes my M8 unable to reach my providers IPTV services. In my opinion 99 % of users won't have the issue as vlans are extremely rare in home networking...

The M8 update files can be found here, this is not usable for recovery installation.

Hey there! I encountered errors after doing your tutorial, but I was able to fix some errors such as a non-loading YouTube app and SnapChat giving an "internal" error. But I am not able to fix the "No Connection" problem on Google Play after. Is there anyway to fix this?

EDIT: I got it fixed following a tutorial from androidcentral! I am filled with glee right now!

Here is the tutorial.

Unfortunately, No connection - retry in Play Store can mean lots of things.

Another solution that you might like to try involves the creation of a new Google account (this worked for me because I did not want to perform a Factory Reset): -

Close Play Store if it is open.

Click on the following options in turn:

Settings -> Applications -> Manage applications -> All -> Google Play Store -> Clear Data -> OK

Settings -> Accounts and sync -> Add account -> Google -> Next -> Create

Follow the prompts to set up a new Google account.

Start Play Store. Once you have accepted the licence agreement, Play Store should now connect to the Internet and start working again.

Press the Menu button then select Accounts and pick your old Google account from the list (this will restore your installed applications and purchases).

Unfortunately, your Android applications will now be associated with the new Google Account.

You can manually open any applications (GMail, GTalk/Hangouts, etc.) associated with the new Google Account and configure them to use the old one.
