Hi,
After installing the 1028 update, I wanted to get back to 924 but the update is stuck on the verification process (loading bar = 25%). I tried 1035 and it does not install neither... Anyone had this issue ?

Hello,
I'm not sure to understand all well, but is it now possible to have smooth result with autoframe rate with kodi/SPMC on the Mibox ?

Yes.
Using the Chomd 666 mod already posted (only Firmware 1028 & 1035 allows this) in combo with SPMC 16.7.1 and Mediacodec Hardware video acceleration. However that does not survive a reboot so make sure the Mi Box always sleeps in standby mode. (Which is the standard setup). I'm also seeing serious WiFi reliability problems with 1028 Furmware.
If you use Amcodec video acceleration and auto refresh switching you end up with a black display screen. Turn off refresh switching and it's fine. Amcodec gives you proper full motion high quality deinterlacing for Kodi PVR OTA TV viewing use.
Basically that all adds up to one big comprimised hassle and these days.
If you do not need Chromecasting or 4K Netflix the dual boot AMLogic devices that come with DRM and HDCP 1.x or HDCP 2.2 when combined with some DIY and a quality Wireless USB dongle remote like the MINIX A2 lite, represent better value and you end up with a superior LibreELEC Kodi Krypton setup.

I have the original firmware that came with the box. I read that if you change the frame rate manually, you can get smooth kodi 1080p videos. I tried all the frame rates and still cannot get rid of the stuttering in kodi. Is there any solution? I allready regret buying this box...

Just buy a S9xx box to use alongside your Mi Box and use Nougat Beta Firmware 935 on it. That was the most stable IMHO.
Properly Licensed Android TV, with Chromcasting, 4K HDR Netflix, Amazon, VUDU = NVIDIA Shield.
DIY Dual Boot unofficial Android TV ROM / LibreELEC that has DRM and HDCP 1.x or HDCP 2.2 for 1080p Netflix only and other 1080p copy protected video streaming:
- WeTek Play2
- MINIX U9
- MECOOL M8S Pro L
The Shield, Play2 and U9 will give you working Android Kodi dynamic refresh switching.
If using Dual Boot I recommend a MINIX A2 Lite remote with its USB dongle wireless receiver. Will work in Android (TV) and LibreELEC seamlessly.
I would ask in the Seller device specific forums for ATV ROM's or Freaktab for the MECOOL- first, if you have very specific Android TV Apps that must 100% work.
