A friend of mine bought one of these MX2 StreamBox's (round one) it was causing a problem with his Wi-Fi connection; Whenever he started up the streambox the internet would be disconnected. So he decided to reset the MX2 to factory settings which I believe has uninstalled the original StreamBox OS that came with it as in the 'Updates' 'Restart' and 'Restore' option the box use to have on the desktop screen is now gone. Is there anyway I can reinstall this OS for him?
Any help appreciated, thanks!
If you need any further information then just ask me.
EDIT: I should mention that I reinstalled XBMC and ofcourse it has lost all the add-ons (channels) it use to have on it. What i'm doing is trying to get these back but I can't do it without the options I need above.

This is unrelated to XBMC. Please seek support from your box vendor.

Yeah, but you are trying to reinstall an OS-wide backup, right?
Obviously, after a factory reset, xbmc settings are lost.

Just do a google search for "MX2 firmware" and you should be pointed in the right direction. Just make sure you get the right firmware for your box, as there are a lot of them out there.

Hi I have the same problem as the original poster. I stupidly did a factory reset and now have no xbmc software on my mx2 box that I only received yesterday. Any help would be appreciated in this matter. Think it was running 12.3 Frodo or something like that.

Yes I bought it off ebay mate. I rang up streambox today explained what I had done and they were very helpful and understanding and sent me an e-mail with the files I needed to recover the box and get back streaming. Recovery image file was sent to me with clear precise instructions, very happy with the service and support.
