Can't figure out how to update m8s+ firmware - Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers

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>

[Q] Problems updating Hyundai T7s tablet to jelly bean 4.2 (official rom)

Hi all,
I'm encountering some problems when i'm trying to update my Hyundai T7S tablet to the official jelly bean 4.2 ROM.
I've the update from the Hyundai website (hyundai-digital .cn). This download comes in a .rar file. I knew it would be impossible, but tried anyway to flash this file from the SD-card. But to make it work this way, the update should be a .zip-file.
In the .rar file are 15 files, some of them are .bin and .img files. And I've not the knowledge what I can do with these files. Unfortunately the support guide of Hyundai can not be opened and two hours googling didn't help me out. So here's my question:
Is it possible to convert the .rar file into a .zip file and flesh this file? Or can I flash the rar-file in some way?
Thanks!
ps. i had the full links copied in my message, but since this is my first post, i cannot post links. Sorry for that!

Extract all files in zip to SD card (ext.). Power OFF. Press Volume - and Power and update will start. Looks like you use Volume + not - witch takes you to recovery mode. When done tablet will turn OFF. Power ON and you should have new firmware.
You are talking about "HYUNDAI T7S-20130318" ?....if yes it is not 4.2 is still 4.0.4; If you found a most recent one (4.2), can you email me with download link please ?....I can't find 4.2 for T7(S). Thank you !
I think 4.2 is not yet aivailable at all.

Here is some link: http://www.hyundai-digital.cn/Download.asp?ClassID=1
In the section HYUNDAI T7S-20130318, there is something about Android 4.2
Can someone confirm this? If it is 4.2 I am buying this tablet right now .)
I believe it is, but I only got mine yesterday, not even rooted it yet.
Google translation:
The latest firmware of modern flat panel HYUNDAI T7S-20130318
HYUNDAI T7S firmware instructions
1 running memory 2GB storage memory 16GB
2 rear camera front 300,000 5,000,000 with flash
3 the system Android4.0.4 behind will update Android4.2 system (do please look forward)
The website says it is 4.0.4, and will update to 4.2 in the future.
Can anyone tell me know to root this device? I tried Exynos abuse, it does not work.

exactly. even though some sites advertise it as a 4.2 device, the latest available stable fw is still the 4.0.4 from the 18th of March.
I just tried exynos abuse 1.4 about 2 hours ago on my t7s and it worked like a charm.
Waiting for 4.2 too
Another T7S user here, waiting for 4.2, too. Is there something wrong with the website? When I visit http://www.hyundai-digital.cn/ it tells me:
bad requesta (invalid hostname)
I copy/pasted it, and yes, it's "requesta". I don't know what's going on with that D:

from what i've read (some weeks ago): the main hyundai company has told that branch producing the tablets not to manufacture devices to be exported from china, so they're cutting the rest of the world off their official site --> you'll be able to reach the webpage via a chinese proxy (as if you're browsing from china).
about the update for which we're all waiting for: last time it was told to be released in 2013 june, so i still haven't given up yet. anyway: just search for "slatedroid" on the internet if you'd like to get updates about the tablet in english

Another possibility could be porting CyanogenMod OR buying a tablet to a developer. We already have CM for the same SoC, so I think about xplodwild or codeworkx, the two main i9300 maintainers

That would be great!
This tablet will literally fly with CM.
How can I ask to a developer to port to this device? Is it there a specific forum? Or just pm them?

Well that'd then be the reason why the 4.2 ROM for the rest of the world is now available to download through MediaFire rather than an official Hyundai page.
For those who haven't found it yet, this post on the GeekBuying blog details the download and installation of the 4.2.2 upgrade.
I'm in the process of downloading the 222Mb archive now; going rather slow which is nothing new for MediaFire.

anyway: everyone can still reach the site (http://www.hyundai-digital.cn/download.asp?ClassID=1) via any chinese proxy and check out regularly if there's anything new announced (like the stable release for the 'plain' T7, which was uploaded earlier today.

It probably is the website of Hyundai Korea, not Hyundai China (maker of T7s).

Has anyone managed to root this T7s Android4.2.2 ? When I tried to root it , it returned an 'error' saying that this image is sort of immune to rooting. I tried with exynos root method.

"Drivers"?

I have a tablet which can't find the firmware, and trying to develop the mine.
I was reading tutorials and information that find and some well have some questions.
I downloaded a firmware with Android 4.4.2, "installed" and runs good, except that:
Don't works WiFi
Don't works Cameras
Don't have Phone app, i assume that no detect the "3g"
I do not know as they are known the "drivers", are obtained or how are modified.
Upon installation of the firmware, using a computer mechanism, successfully extracted, from the gadget unchanged, with Android 4.4.4, the files:
boot.img
bootloader.img
data.tgz
recovery.img
system.img
system.tgz
Any information that is useful to the case, do not hesitate to ask.
From already thanks and hope, apologize for the lack of appropriate language.
Dude You should first mention the name of your tablet
Like : Samsung TabS etc

I would like to install 4..2 or better on a 7*tablet that currently has a locked down version of 4.2.2 on it so I must t side load. It hsa a rk3188 rockchip and I have a copy of an updatefie for the locked down Android version on there. With this info can someone point me in the right direction as to what firmware I should download? Do I need to post contents of build prop? Also can custom Rom be made from update file?

What all do you need to know?I can only get so much info from the tablet. I bought it from a pawn shop because it had a cool clear case and looked sturdy (it's for kids) but when I turned it on it had some crazy version of Android on it. The tablet has no name and pawn shop guy didn't know. I saw an update file, peeped in it, saw buildprop,etc. I just want a basic version of Android on it(jellybean I assume since buildprop says version on there is based on 4.2.2.). If i post buildprop is that enough? Or do I need to post the update file also along with board and chip specs?

Unbrick - Nexbox A95X (2G + 16G, S905)

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.

Well, Android Updates depends on the Brand of your phone. He may not be updates so regularly if it's a lower range phone.
To check if you have an update , just go to Settings->About Phone->Android Update (or something like that)
If you tell me the Brand of your phone I may find if there are available updates
Have a good day
