    Yes, as I told before, on two occasions it was not showing
    the picture/screen because of the wrong Hz. It was set to
    60 or 50 and the TV set could not work it.

    I does not need to be a resolution issue, but it could be also
    the Hz thing.

    Mate i dont know what you are on about with 60 and 50 hz which is refresh rates. Your TV should cope with both.
    Furthermore your TV should cope with 480 720 and 1080p or i being interlaced.
    You have a faulty HDMI and that is where it ends. You cant even get a recovery screen to show so forget about resolution and HZ. Youre not getting a picture at all.
    Can you move this to a BUG post related to your box along with youtube links so we can at least see the other examples of this behaviour and how you claim it was resolved.

    Use the same command, but with /storage/sdcard0/Download/dtb.img.gz as the target (or wherever under /storage you can find your Download folder in internal memory, in Android 5.1 it should be the above path.


    Thank you for the explaining Broken Pipe and explaining the meaning of the error.
    I discovered the path was as below for the T95N-2G Mini M8s Pro which worked.
    dd if=/dev/dtb | gzip > /storage/emulated/0/Download/dtb.img.gz
    Result from terminal:

    Yes but only if you have original Android firmware on internal storage, otherwise dtb might be incorrect. You can execute dd if=/dev/dtb | gzip > /storage/downloads/dtb.img.gz and you'll find compressed device tree in Downloads share.

    I am using Mac and terminal so please excuse my lack of understanding types of commands to Android adb. No issues in OE.
    See my result on T95N-2G Mini M8s Pro. I have no idea if i have used the right method to issue command.
    djnice has attached the file for this box but has outdated firmware.

    shell@p201_tn2:/system $ su
    root@p201_tn2:/system # dd if=/dev/dtb | gzip > /storage/downloads/dtb.img.gz

    You have to know your chip.
    I believe you have an s802 chip but i cannot confirm this as that box is a serious clone done by a lot of chinese sellers.
    Open the box carefully and confirm your chip.
    If you have android get the App called CPU-Z and see what that reads your chip as.
    Good luck.

    These Boxes do not Update Over The Air.
    Make sure you have the version below as there is an old May 2016 version installed
    in some boxes.

    Please confirm your kernel version is as follows:

    Delete that link please.
    NOT ALLOWED LINKS TO SELLERS.
    Take some time to read the rules.
    I think you need to read a bit more of the content in the forums to see who has what box and what works.
    I am sorry but i use the box in my signature and cannot advise you on any BRANDS to buy.
    Google is your friend.

    Quote from Poida

    @kostaman Have you found a way to overcome the lack of options on the MiniMX remote?
    I use a Harmony remote to control these boxes, but since there are very few buttons on the MiniMX remote, I have lost a lot of useful functions with the Harmony remote.

    Also Bluetooth is not recognised - Is that what you have found?

    Bluetooth works for me but i dont really use it.

    The remote is really crap. Multiple presses for commands and pointing direct to box.
    I use a really cheap rc120 Airmouse.
    Love it.

    I know that no AliEx and Ebay links allowed - But which is the cheapest box that works well now?

    T95N Mini M8S pro S905 2gb/8gb
    Not the Mini M8S II with the s905X chip runs Marshmalow which is GARBAGE.
    I've inherrited both boxes from novice kodi box buyers who want me to flash OE.
    The s905 is quite good value and i was surprised at the performance.
    The s905X is loaded with bug riddled OS. Not worth the pain for not a big gain.
    S905X OE not available yet.
