hi guys
i got a bit of a problem here i think
i installed the driver for the mk 808 but when i start the rkbacht tool its says loading config file failed ?! any idea what the problem is? downloaded the tool several times but the error message is the same … did i miss a step?
thx
When you unzip the flash tool, the folder is named with special characters. Rename the folder to something with non-special characters (like “flashtool”) and try again. Also try to delete the first the line of the config.ini file.
I have seen that the link you suggested 🙁http://uploading.com/files/get/471d673e/update_mk808_pad_204j1.img)

thanks
I just bought and received the item. It shows 4.1.1 as android version, is it necessary to update when the firmware flashed is dated 27.10.2012? A little suggestion conserning the new firmwares to flash, add date when it’s build into the ZIP name 🙂
Ps. Seems to be working, I just plugged my Logitech DiNovo mini into the device and no problems at all 🙂
Hi, our suggestion is if everything is working well, then just don’t flash. lol
Hi every one, I need install the original firmware (4.1.1 not root), where download this?
Thanks.
The rockchip tool is not detecting the mk808b device, my pc can detect the device and it show it is there in the system.
thanks
Impossible to upgrade firmware on Win7 64bit – anyone could give me the links to proper drivers and soft for the os?
i will order mk808 today.
will it need flash ??
don’t need flash 🙂
OK thanks Eric
Netflix not working on my mk808b which I bought from Geekbuying
How can I fix this. I understand its related to 4.2.2.
I am not tech savy
Downgrade to android 4.1, and you will have your netflix working.
box 1 is lit in blue, what does this mean?
my pc is win7 64bit and when connect the mk808b the drivis not in the tool so we need a new driver for it
My MK808 is powering off from time to time by itself.
I upgraded to the latest firmware, same problem.
What possibly could be wrong?
My software version is from 29-9-2013, does it need an update???
