[Q] mecool m8s pro w Bootloop

by GigaTorchwood

Hi everyone, I recently bought a mecool m8s pro w without voice remote and after configuring a bit i rebooted the system and now it's bootlooped. Wouldn't be a big deal for me, I know how to perform a factory reset from recovery but i couldn't find any reset button on the box (I looked online and i saw people saying that the button were either behind the grid on the pcb or on the lower side of the pcb but after i disassembled it i found nothing). Gearbest support suggested to keep the MENU button pressed and turn on the box but didn't tell me where to find this button, I assumed they were talking about the button below the arrows on the left but it didn't work. Do you have any experience that could help me?

Thank you

From memory it might be the # button on the bottom left or right of the Infra Red remote you have to hold down. Not sure.

Here is the support forum where you might find some info for those types of devices:

Does that box run the Android TV operating system or regular touchscreen Android?
