the-hydra over at the pivos forums (
http://www.pivosforums.com/viewtopic.php...935#p44750) has released a KODI Helix 14.0 stable build for the XIOS M1/M3. I have put together a signed image for the
G-Box / IPTV18 2.1/2.2 (rtl8192cu or rtl8188eu/etv). Install the zip file by flashing within the original recovery or CWM. I have installed this on both my G-Box SLAVs, which also has the Amlogic 8726-M3 chip, and works pretty well. I'm a long time lurker on these boards, got tired waiting for a new build, so I decided to try for myself. Thanks to
the-hydra for extending the usefulness of these boxes.
Update:
aasoror over at the pivos forums (
http://www.pivosforums.com/viewtopic.php?f=37&t=5091) has released a KODI Helix 14.2 stable build for the XIOS M1/M3, called TOFU. I have included a G-Box Midnight \ SLAV kernel and resigned the image, so that the stock recovery can flash this. Thanks to
aasoror for extending the usefulness of these boxes.
I do not claim any credit for creating these firmware\ROMS, other than re-signing the image to be used in other similar android boxes.
If coming from Frodo or Gotham, please perform a wipe data\factory reset in recovery before flashing!
