hey, i was wondering if you guys knew of any way to put windows 10 on these boxes instead of the old 4.4. kit kat crap they have on there. the box is a goobang doo m8s s812 . can't seem to find any reliable or usable software upgrades in android for it, and would like it to be slightly useful since most of the apps don't wanna work on old android versions

I have an android box that was bought a couple of years ago, probably sometime in 2015. Similar to the picture attached: <sorry, apparently I can't post any links until I have 10 posts on this forum>
The new kodi doesn't work on it anymore, and I can't figure out how to update the firmware from 4.4.2 to 5.1. Did some search on the internet, but some people say it works, some say it doesn't, and the consensus seems to be that no one knows which file works with which m8s+ box.
So I'm considering buying a new box. Want a decent box that's easy to update unlike the one I'm holding. But before that, I thought I'd ask for some help here, if someone can help me through the process (I'm not exactly a techy).
Thanks a lot. And apologies if this is not posted in the write forum.
PS. Here's my Box's system info: <sorry, apparently I can't post any links until I have 10 posts on this forum>

This is for the A95X 2gb 16gb s905 ONLY // WIFI - BCM4335
After searching for hours I came across this forum with a link to the firmware.
I know this box may not be used anymore but I hope it helps anyone else and saves them sometime. I used USB_Burning_Tool_v2. Remove Chinese symbols.

Much thanks for this OP. I was in bad need of stock firmware. My A95X currently has Android 6.0.1 but I've soft bricked it. Going to Android 5.1.1 will be a downgrade on my box, but my primary goal is a working box. Once again, thank you much for your resources and your work. If I run across an Android Marshmallow build for this box, and if you still need to to upgrade, I'll post it here.
Is there anything available for the 1G/8G version?
Dear Support,
I am new user in our forum, I don’t have any information about Android OS. I can Reset system, but I never try to flash, unlock Android OS.
Few years ago, I bought ZaapTV(Attention to buy it ), now if you don’t pay you can not see nothing on Tv.
When I turn ON the Box, I see only ZaapTV logo, after that, they ask me to activate my Box by paying 90$ every year.
When system boot, I see [ Starting Device. RK3066 4.2.2 ]
My question: Can i install any Standard Android version 4.2.2 or other in this Device with RockChip 3066 ? Transform ZaapTV to Android Box where I can see Google Apps and download any Application ?
I hope my question is easy for you and I m waiting your help asap to know if it’s possible or no before buying a new Box ?
Thank you very much for your support.
@Zorrofes
I think ZaapTV is running Android 5..1.1 & KODI is pre-installed.

I said before: [ Starting Device. RK3066 4.2.2 ]
Now, if you don’t pay you can’t go to Kodi or anywhere.
I can go only to seetings, but I can’t see About Device to verify more options.
My question is to know if I can install a new Android OS like: KitKat 4.2.2. Because I saw some Android TV with RK 3066 Dual-Core has this Chip ?
Thanks.
OPERATING SYSTEM:
ZAAPTV™ OS 32-bit, Ver. 4.1.
HARDWARE SPECIFICATIONS:
CPU RK3066 Dual Core 1.5 Ghz.
GPU Quad GPU technology.
Memory 1 GB DDR3.
Flash 4 GB MLC Nand.

I have an older docooler m9s-pro S905 (no X) 4/32 5.1.1 that I am trying to update. I know it is easier to buy a new box and I have but I hate to toss this one if there is a way to bring it back to useful. It is not bricked just slow and outdated. Is there a newer firmware I can use or can I flash it with another brand's firmware? Is there a way to debloat it into usefulness? Just hate to waste this box.

I saw that coolio upgrade that was interesting to tinker with but the link is dead so no access to the file anymore ugoos does not have access to wifi or ethernet so defeats the purpose.
hi. i have a W95 TV BOX (Got it from here) that runs Andoid 7.1.
It is a Box with 2GB of Ram, 16 GB of space, Amlogic S905W
I would like to upgrade it to newer versions of Android >8 since there are a few that are not supported. The device is generic and i cannot find an official repository to download an update. So i am looking for an alternative firmware that will make this box run newer Android compared to 7.1 that currently holds.
Any suggestions please?

There are plenty alternative FW's available for your (generic S905W) device, atvXperience, Aidan's, SlimBOX ROM's and so on, google is your friend.
Thanks for your reply. atvXperience looks nice. Could someone point me to the ROM and the method to install it, please?
