Please note this file was designed for the original DroidBOX T8-S device. This device was based on the Amlogic S802 chipset. It is from March/April 2016 and is also available via the OTA Updater app on your DroidBOX device.
It should definitely not be used on a DroidBOX device other than the T8-S. If your model name includes "Plus" or "Mini", this firmware is not for you.
It may be compatible with devices from other manufacturers, but we can not take responsibility for any damage done. You are welcome to try, however if your box does not boot up, it will be your responsibility.
Do not flash this file if you do not know which device you have.
If you are on a Mac, you may need to this first: https://wiki.umbc.edu/pages/viewpage.action?pageId=31919091
Download https://1drv.ms/u/s!AlRdlhGu3fjihnIuVNFbaKrYqBkQ and copy the ZIP file (no extraction of the archive please) to an SD memory card. The card should have a FAT or FAT32 partition.
If you find you are copying multiple files and folders, instead of one large ZIP file then please right click the download link at the top of this thread, and select Save As. You should now find you are downloading T8S-ota-20160330.zip, rather than opening the archive.
Turn your DroidBOX off and insert the SD memory card into the slot on the right.
Hold down the recessed switch towards the back of the case, on the same side as the memory card (a round hole, paper clip or sturdy cocktail stick should be fine). Please don't release the switch for quite a while.
Turn the DroidBOX on, and keep the recessed switch held down for a good 15/20 seconds. If Android's Recovery Menu appears before then, you can release the switch.
Holding down the Restore switch on the side (behind the USB sockets), turn on your T8-S. DO NOT LET GO OF THE SWITCH ON THE SIDE YET.
Once you see the Recovery menu on screen, release the Restore button.
Click on the option that mentions updating from EXT.
This time, click the entry that mentions SDCARD.
Finally, click on T8S-ota-20160330.zip
Once the process completes, select the Factory Reset/Wipe Data option and confirm you want to carry out this operation.
Once completed, select the Reboot option.
The first time you boot may take longer than usual. Once you can see the Android launcher homescreen, please leave the device alone for 20 minutes. Do not reboot, switch to the 2nd operating system or power off during this time. Applications continue to install in the background and if interrupted will not resume the next time you boot up.
