R8 updaten is iemand van freaktabs gelukt:
Yesterday I succeed to update firmware for my CX-R8 instructions are below:
First of all you need a linux distribution, any ubuntu based distribution will work; I'm using Mint 17.2 don't waste your time with windows. You don't need to install linux, a bootable usb live distribution will be ok ( you can prepare a bootable usb using Lili )
Get the Rockchips Update Tool from HERE and extract it to the directory you want (I suggest you to extract it to the same directory with firmware update.img)
1 - OTG port doesn't work, USB-1 works connect Male(A) to Male(A) USB cable to USB port 1 beside SD card slot.
2 - Don't connect USB or power cable before press to reset button (important)
3 - Don't release reset button while you plug in Power Cable and USB cable (Both side should be connected Box-PC)
4 - Open a terminal session an run the command " ./upgrade_tool uf update.img " if you are not root command should be " sudo ./upgrade_tool uf update.img "
5 - You will see the firmware upgrade process. After successfull upgrade box will reboot, and that is it.
All instructions take about 5 minutes, after upgrade box will optimize applications it will take 2-3 minutes.
I tried Wassers rom too and I liked it much but ethernet, wifi , remote doesn't work than returned to new firmware.
New firmware works good but not rooted, not optimised, comes with Kodi 15 RC.
Wassers kodi 15.1 apk works great,
I hope helps you to upgrade,
Kind Regards,
Linux Upgrade Tool
