I managed to salvage 4 out of 7 DOA Amlogic M8's using the USB method and an " *.img " file (which uses a different *.img file than the SD card method)!

Only problem is I cant find a current M8 " *.img " file (about 700+/- mb approx) with Kodi 15.2 and/or up!

Also as it stands the IR remote doesn't work, but a wired remote will!

Can anyone point me in the right direction for the latest M8 *.img file? thanks.

I have rescued two M8's and two M8N's!

thanks pclpatop

silently screaming, those files are for the "SD" card method and will not work with the USB tool program.

thanks for the link though

sean99, those files/M8N download, at the link you provided are for the SD Card un-brick method, which does not work.
I need to load a SINGLE *.img file into the USBTool program first!

thanks anyway!

Have a hunt round on that site as I loaded 4.4.2 kk f/w using rkbatch tool from there on an x7 a few years ago.

I sent them("ChinaGadget") an email as to what i need. I'm under the impression that the rkbatch tool was for the "Rockchip" based TV boxes.

It might be worth just googling "M8 tv box firmware" and seeing what random downloads you can find. His post is six years old... o_O
