If you enter the password and then press TAB once, then try RETURN/ENTER or the Space Bar, still no joy? If your remote control has an OK button, does it also have a Left Mouse Button on there? Some of the controllers have both, in which case when using the on screen cursor, don't use OK, it...

We'll keep it over at https://droidboxforums.com/threads/boot-failure.14503/ , so the thread doesn't get split.

@Dave C Any chance he'll need to locate a BIOS for the relevant system before the ROMs load?

Might be worth giving https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.frostnerd.dnschanger a shot. Doesn't sort out the inaccessibility of other options, but gets you started with DNS at least, hopefully.

If you're getting Kodi each time, it sounds like you may have OpenELEC on there somehow. Can you remember the last firmware you flashed it to? Just to double check it isn't a T8-S somehow, when you're in the recovery screen, can you see a reference to switching between two operating systems...

Have you tried a factory reset yet?

Which model is it exactly? DroidBOX supplied? T8-S Plus v2? T8-S (the original one with Android 4.4)? T8? As you've posted in the iMXQpro v2 section, you might not get as many people reading this topic. The exact model will alter the best advice, some procedures might be worth a try, however...

If you haven't already, might also be worth considering mains networking. https://www.techradar.com/uk/news/networking/powerline-networking-what-you-need-to-know-930691 seems to give a quick run down.

Does the controller have a Tab key with the QWERTY keyboard? If so, using that (and Shift+Tab to go back a field) might work.

In terms of going blank when FF/RW, it might also be worth (in Kodi at least), having a play with the hardware acceleration settings. Settings Cog, Player Settings, first menu I think, around the bottom of the screen. Assuming default skin in Kodi 17, with the Settings level turned up to...

Centre/pin is positive on two I just checked.

DroidBOX had one premium remote control, the original (non-Plus) VIP that had the Air Mouse and keyboard via a dongle, and four buttons that could be programmed with custom infrared remote control codes, however I don't think I've ever seen (from anywhere) an air mouse/keyboard combo that could...

Definitely important part from that link: To use the Rename or Delete actions, you must enable Allow file renaming and deletion in the settings page.

Run some tests to be sure, but if both avenues are otherwise equal (ease of use, reliability) I have a gut feeling that transfers via SMB could be slower (with the overheads involved). However, it depends on the speed your can actually achieve prior to it getting written to a hard drive - if...

If you ever use a phone or a tablet to control your DroidBOX (via Yatse, Kore or DroidBOX Share), then it might be worth checking if your phone/tablet has an InfraRed LED. If it does, you may find an app that can learn and replay codes. You could teach it your Plus v1's infrared remote control...

I've not tried anything specific to your scenario, but if you're comfortable with experimenting, https://droidbox.co.uk/how-to/fully-emulate-a-controllerinterface-on-your-android-powered-droidbox-device/ might be worth a look, in case emulating one controller for a similar one with slightly...

Probably for the other functions it can perform. The APK will have be coded with multiple options for different devices. If you're controlling the device using it on a phone/tablet then it might be worth looking at some of the IR sending apps (if your hardware has IR capabilities).

Plug in a USB keyboard (or use any controller with a full QWERTY keyboard), try pressing the + sign when on the homescreen. On some models this calls a different function compared to the Volume Up button your remote likely has. If you get system sounds (notifications etc) but there is never...

Might be worth checking if your TV has a CEC option you can turn on. If it does, switch it on, turn your TV to the correct HDMI input, then try turning your TV off, then on. This relies on your Android box supporting CEC and it being on already. Beyond that, if you could resurrect the original...

If you haven't already, email DroidBOX ready for tomorrow with your order number and they should be able to help.
