firmware

Firmware is box, chipset and often supplier specific. Even if there is a droidbox imx firmware available (check the how-to pages via the main web page), there is no guarantee it will work on a generic imx6. If it is just xbmc v12 frodo you want it may still be available on the official kodi site. There are sites which also store various firmwares - can't remember their url but google may help. But again, there is a risk of incompatibiliy and bricking the box.
have tried on google cant find any firmware for box, it actually says gbox xbmc tv box. model imx6 streaming player . do you think xbmc v12 frodo firmware would work.
I have no idea. You will have to check the spec of a gbox xbmc tv box very carefully and compare to your box. Even then there is the risk you may brick the box so I can't recommend anything. Entirely up to you if you want to try it. Good luck.
Btw xbmc (or even ) Kodi is not a firmware. It is an application. If that is all you want to try it will generally be safe.

Might be time to upgrade to a droidbox and as it's soon to be black Friday you might get a bargain.
thanks for trying , but mate bricked box and need original firmware to put on the amologic card to unbrick the box. i know how to install kodi each time they bring a new version out. i have a different box mines a m8 4k.if you come up with some idea be grateful.
dont need one mate , trying to to sort out box for a mate. i have m8 4k. thanks anyway
So must be old as it's running Frodo which is nearly 4 years old approx.
Plus the imx6 box had issues with kodi 15.0 isengard and above. That's why I mentioned about a new box.
You have a m8 4k box that's nice, but you might have to trace were your friend brought it to get the right firmware to reflash it.
Good luck

hi there , thanks for your reply the box he says was from china but they were the selling agent for droidbox.co.uk. he has also showed me the proof that its a droidbox make..as i said need firmware to put on the amalogic boot card to unbrick the box. cheers
will have a look tonight, do you think it will be compatible. cheers for reply to enquiry
I remember some years back getting a box that was marked as droidbox with the familiar green droidbox label - however at its heart was an MX2 and it had mx2 matricon software in... it hence my suggestion
Have a look here see if it helps.....

thanks for your help . probably got a point as on the site were he bought it the contact address states to get intouch with droidbox.co.uk. will try and find out what is actually on the box. thanks
tried that firmware, it only loaded as far as saying data and cache failed, thats when i tried another firmware and ended up bricking the box. but in the past using the amalogic boot card and using the right firmware it unbricks the box.thanks for advice.
Sorry to here...and good luck with it, ask your friend to check out droidBOXs mxq pro it's a great price.
