Hi Device was working great last night but this morning there was no apps working. Powered the box down and restarted but i get a purple screen that lasts for around 2 seconds and then it just goes black. Tried a different HDMI cable and still the same result.

Any ideas?

Can you follow the pictures for an iMX6 here - https://droidbox.co.uk/blog/how-to-access-your-droidboxs-recovery-menu/

When the recovery menu appears, carry out a data wipe/factory reset from here (the Android one doesn't always seem to take hold). When selecting this option, you'll likely need to use the Go Back (return) key on your remote control, rather than OK.

Once you've rebooted back to the Android launcher screen (having gone through the set up procedure), please don't click on anything or reboot for twenty minutes.

After that, open up XBMC and run the DroidBOX Wizard (Android iMX6 pack). When this completes, exit XBMC, reboot the device and this time wait five minutes once you're at the launcher's homescreen.

Should that not help (as in the recovery menu doesn't appear or a factory reset doesn't prevent the purple screen from appearing), please send us an e-mail - [email protected] . If you could include the following in the message please:
