I have tried versions 5.0.0, 5.0.1, 5.0.3 and 4.9.7 and everytime I get the boot logo (Tronsmart) and then a black screen. I am loading the 3 files from the zip file onto the root of the TF card, booting upo while keeping reset pressed,getting into recovery and flashing the update file from the TF card, everything seems to work but once I do a reboot I get the boot logo and then the black screen. I dont think its the TF card as I successfully loaded a modified version of the original android firmware afterwards. Links: Openelec - http://amlinux.ru/image/5.0.3/ Modified android firmware - Link I am using the "OpenELEC-Amlogic.MX3.arm-5.0.3.zip" version of the openelec files, should I be using the "update" version or the tar instead? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Have Acestream, sopcast, ts controller and p2p-streams installed on an MXIII 2gb, but it's not obvious, and the interweb doesn't seem to help me either. Hopefully its something extremely obvious.... Thanks!

johnybean wrote: » I forgot to mention that I already tried the s82 version and that didn't work either. I did indeed buy from gearbest but I don't think it's a faulty unit as I was able to flash modifies firmware onto the box using the exact same method. I'll try flashing without the recovery file and see does that work

I am techy so I can figure out how to set it up. I don't need a box with good wifi either as I will be using ethernet. Just a bit confused about what to get. The lastest Minix 8 -H Plus looks good but a bit expensive. Was looking at the MX3 as well. But hard to know what to buy. thanks

I found the Sumvision Cyclone from 7day shop a grand little box,deliverey from the UK is a bonus,any suggestions for other UK sellers with a wider selection?
