I was so excited to get this new gadget home and working. I’ve used tronsmart mk808B and mk908ii and have been happy with them.
I am experiencing a problem with this and that is I can’t run showbox, or popcorn, and videomixpro is only partially working. popcorn and videomixpro are backups to showbox. In the long run I just need showbox to run.
Can someone work on the rom to get showbox to work with this device. All of those work just fine on my mk808B and mk908ii, and my tablets I have connected to the same network at my home.
I have tried factory reset — no good
I have installed Bob Finless’s rom as well.
I have re installed the factory rom.
None of these have worked. — I also have reviewed the internet and tested those processes out. (airplane mode on/off) (wireless turned on/off) (tried only wireless and then only nick)
I did copy the data/data/com.tdo.showbox and /sdcard/android/data/com.tdo.showbox from a working unit to this unit and got further. I no longer get connection error then app closes. Instead I get server error and the app doesn’t close. With those two items copied I can get updated season pics but just can’t click on anything to watch.
Thanks,
-Ted
