Hey mate i can test out Ember for the All Black MXQ s805 if you want

Hey Auxbox. Be careful with these black plastic MXQ S805 boxes as after I sent him a picture of the mainboard in mine (branded OTT on the packing box) it turns out this was now the 4th different clone he and Cory have seen. I tried installing this beta EmbER 4.0.1 firmware and it bricked my box and so far I have not managed to unbrick it, though not tried very much and put it aside as just not the time at the moment and anyway concentrating on the much better (IMHO) metal cased M12 S805 boxes, which are so reliable and run brilliantly in EmbER 4 firmware with KODI 16.1 Jarvis..

As these cheap plastic MXQ S805 different clone boxes are all pretty similar looking I get the feeling that maybe EmbER will choose NOT to release firmware for these boxes, as with so many incompatible clones on the market then it will not be worth all the frustration and problems that will occur for sure.. I have to advise that IMHO it is best right now to stick with the metal cased, still inexpensive, MXQ M12 S805 boxes and for which AFAIK no clones have so far been found.
Cheers
