I tried the newer versions and it's the same thing. I hold the reset button with a toothpick and plug in the power and it doesn't boot up anything, only takes me to the Android System Recovery screen where you can reboot system, apply update, or factory reset the box.
The same thing with my MX Pro S805 box......just take me to the same Recovery mode.
I can't even boot the stock Android now.My next step is to try booting AlexELEC or Armbian's balbes150 builds
