Hello there ya'll.
Last year I purchased an Android TV Box KT-609 from Vision Electronics here in Winnipeg, Manitoba Canada. IMO, it's been a great box to me. It's nothing fancy, with very little bells and whistles but it does the job. I have been doing some research though on how to upgrade this box's firmware or even upgrade the KitKat 4.4.4 to Lollipop 5.1 OS system. Sadly I've been unsuccessful as this box may not be very popular. Below is a picture of the box and the link. I'll also share the information from the Visions website as I can't seem to find a manufacturer's website. If anyone out there knows which manufacture this is and their website address, it would be more than greatly appreciated. Even a link on how to upgrade OS. I look forward to being a part of this community.
Glock.
P.S. Because I'm a new user, it won't allow me to post a link to Visions Electronics so... it's Visions dot ca and search Android TV box KT-609
I can't even post a picture yet either so.... maybe a MOD can be kind and enter a link and or picture on my behalf until I earn my stripes. Thanks.

I see that many people is interested in Android boxes lately, so because of that I want to share my thoughts of Rikomagic MK68 which is newest media player from this company. For me this device is good choice because it is not too expensive and at the same time it offers good hardware and very good software optimization.
The Rikomagic MK68 is based on 64-bit SoC Octa-core CPU RK3368 with the maximum speed 1.5 GHz. It has also 2 GB of RAM and 16 GB internal memory, if you need more space than you can upgrade it with memory card maximum 32 GB where the GPU is PowerVR G6110. As you can see it has enough strong hardware for any activity.
Many people bought or is interesting in these kind of devices mostly because of KODI. Because these application offers many useful features for watching movies. I've watched several movies in HD and some in SD quality and I can freely say that everything worked perfectly normal. Talking about software or to be precise OS, the Rikomagic MK68 comes with Android 5.1.1 which does not have any unwanted software. So this is good because you don't need to spend your time for deleting trash.
It has 3 x USB ports where the one USB port is for OTG function, but it has also 1 x HDMI port, 1 x optical output, 1 x microSD and 1 x LAN port. LAN supports 10/100/1000M connectivity where the WIFI supports 2.4GHz / 5GHz dual band. So you can see that you have two available choices in which you can choose how you will connect your box to your home network.
Until now I did not find any problems during use so I am very satisfied with this Android box, for more information you can visit their official website. Also for benchmark test, pictures you can go to the site: Rikomagic MK68
very good android box in general, but the only problem i found its relative to mac adress, always changing on every single boot. very weird seems like a firmware bug
I'm looking if I should upgrade my current tv stick or not.
I have a 3 year old MK809 II, dual core, 1 Gb RAM, USB 2.0, Android 4.2.2.
H264 1080p movies work perfectly, 99% almost any video/audio format/codec.
I use MX Player Pro 1.7.28 with ARMv7 NEON codec.
I also use it for some Youtube, but I'm not sure whay is the maximum resolution: 720p or 1080p.
Youtube video play is OK, no stuttering at all. But general youtube search, web browser, any other operations - very laggy.
I have Fly Mouse Air Mouse RC11, works perfectly, it's a keeper.
I have a smart TV Samsung 46" 1080p. I will NOT get 4K TV any time soon.
Problems with current stick:
* small 32 Gb micro SD card. I cannot bauy another card, because I have 3 USB 3.0 64 Gb flash stick.
They do not work with the Air Mouse, already tried 2 different USB hubs.
* file copy speed too low - wifi, android FTP server.
I have tried several FTP servers/clients, 2 different routers - nothing helped.
* no H265 decoding. It looks like that's the future.
* old unit, old android, old interface....
Reasons to upgrade:
* USB 3.0 + [gigabit] Ethernet.
* H265 decoding
* 2 Gb RAM, Anndroid 6 / Windows 10
* faster operations
Max budget: $70 - $80 - buy from chinese website with EU warehouse or something like amazon.co.uk
My findings so far:

Beelink Z83 -Intel Atom X5-Z8300 + Windows 10 - has pretty much everything - $83 - http://www.gearbest.com/tv-box-mini-pc/pp_343637.html?wid=3
Anything with Amlogic S912 SoC - around $60 - $80 - USB 2.0 only - http://www.geekbuying.com/category/...thernet-Port-S912-c-1014v1046-v-3708v359.html
So, should I upgrade and what SoC should I choose ?
Is this a best buy for me?

I want to 'root' this device. I've tried Kingroot, OneClick Root and those don't do it.
Here are the peticulars on this box:
M9S-PRO 2GB+16GB Android 6.0 S905X Quad Core 64bit HD Smart TV Box WiFi 4K Media
Android Box was bought from Antiquechina2009 on eBay, technical support from that company is nill. Parent company is TOPTOM. TOPTOM as a BBB rating of "F". I 'googled' their company (located in California) and phone number. I called twice last week and left my name and number. I have not received a call-back.
Has anyone been successful in 'rooting' this Android TV Box?
Any help is sincerely appreciated.
Please share.
Thanks

Hi, Old thread, but I have a similar one too... describe as "M9S Quad Core Android 4.4 Smart Set Top TV Box XBMC 3D Blu-ray 4K Streaming Media Player Miracast DLNA Receiver Amlogic S802 AML8726-M8 Cortex A9" Interested in giving it a purpose in life.
Hello XDA forum! I would like to buy the Artizlee ATL-21X tablet for a number of reasons, mostly the low price and the performances I need (basically a PDF/epub reader with some other lightweight capabilites, no other great expectations, no phone included since I have it already).
Yet I am used to root all the Android devices I have to get rid of all the bloats and to install some utilities that require the root state.
So, before I spend those few euros, I was asking you if that table is rootable or not. Here are the specs...

Hello everybody!
I have a strange thing going on here.
Apps like ROOT CHECKER and MALWAREBYTES say that my tablet is actually rooted yet I cannot install SUPERSU and cannot use apps like TITANIUM BACKUP properly.
anyone knows what's going on here??
Nah, don't worry!
CASE CLOSED! The chinese tablet is properly rooted now, with busybox, TWRP and all the root apps are working fine! Yeah, I'm getting good at it!

can u share how?
TBH I downloaded KingRoot V5.3.0.437 and it made the trick.
The only problem I have is about SuperSU: it keeps say that "SU Binary occupied".
Root Checker Basic confirms that the device is rooted.
All the applications that require a rooted device work perfectly (Titanium Backup, SD Maiden, Root Booster, Xposed Installer, Quick Reboot etc. etc.)
Too bad I don't remember where I have downloaded KingRoot. A lot of links are clogged with suspicious requests and looks-like-phishing links so it has been hard to find the working one...
G'day and Happy New Year! ???
I have been researching a new TV and noticed all the built-in "Smart" Android TVs, really aren't that "smart", as can only watch one channel at a time. E.g. Cannot record two channels simultaneously, or record one channel and watch another via PVR's 2nd tuner.
So I've been scouring the internet for suitable solutions - external PVRs supporting dual/twin recording. I was originally under the impression that DVB-S/-T meant one channel accessible to the broadcast, and DVB-T2/-S2 meant twin broadcast record, just as current $35 Soniq!
So has anyone experience with these Android OS 5/6/7.1 boxes?? There are numerous on eBay claiming to be "fully loaded" (rooted must be a bad word?). E.g. FREESAT, KM8P, etc.
What brands are reliable/reputable? What Chipsets & RAM would allow quality streaming? E.g. S905, S912, T9x chipsets...? Or 1GB, 2GB, 3GB RAM...?
Zero details other than specs on eBay sale pages...
Thank you for your time guys! ?
