Some basic questions about Mi Box that I can't find via Google

by super_plomo

  1. How many of these boxes exist? What are the different revisions, and where are they available? Which one is the most recent?

  2. Does the most recent revision have an unlockable bootloader/root access? If not, which of the boxes do and where can I obtain the most recent box that does?

That's all for now.

  1. There is only one Android TV Mi Box.

It's the USA spec. Model MDZ-16-AB

  1. You cannot Root the Mi Box. It has a locked bootloader secured by SELinux.

If you want Rooted Android TV device buy the MECOOL M8S Pro L. Comes with a superb voice control Wireless remote as well. It does not do Chromecasting because it's not Google Certified.

The MEECOOL can also dual boot and run LibreELEC Kodi Krypton. The best version of Kodi around. Far better than any Android Kodi on any Android box.
