Advice Needed

[CyborJaX]

I have a Amlogic M6 Android TV Box at the moment running in Android System I would love to change it to Linux were it boot straight into XBMC I know the procedure for installing the file but finding the correct one is defeating me (New to it All)....

Model Number:
GBOX MX2 lINUX

Specification
Dual Core XBMC Box
Android 4.2.2 Desktop PC on your HD TV!
XBMC FRODO 12.0 Support-XBMC+Android=Perfect
CPU: Amlogic 8726 MX-Dual-Core-Dual-Cortex A9 Neon CPU, 1.5GHz
GPU: Dual MALI 400-CPU 400MHz (3D Acceleration Engine)
Operation System :Android 4.2.2-Jelly Bean

Memory:1GB DDR3 SD RAM
Storage: Nand Flash 8GB/Support external hard disk drives 10GB to 2TB

So if someone can tell me, get me or point me to a good source it would be most appreciated.
I would prefer a attached file if anyone as got one ????
Once I have a good file I can experiment all I wan't

Thanks to all users

Flash at your own risk!!!
I am not responsible if you make your device a paperweight and i don't want it to happen so READ everything and know what you are doing before you start.​

Info

MX Linux is a port of Linux to the ARM platform for the sole purpose of running XBMC Media Center as an OS on Android tv boxs using the AML8726-MX chipset.

Support will be limited, I built this for myself and decided to release it because alot of people online wanted it.

If you would like to help out or know a fix let me know, Any fixs i make or find will be shared back to other developers

Flashing

- Unplug devices power.

- Place the MX_LINUX_vX.XX-XXXX-Update.zip on the root of your usb drive or sdcard and plug it in to the device.

- Using a toothpick or something similer (non-conductive) push and hold the reset button and plug in the devices power
(Release the reset button once your in recovery).
(The reset button is located inside the 3.55mm jack labled A/V, this may differ on your device)

- Select "Install update from EXT"

- If your using a usb drive select "Install from udisk", else if your using a sdcard select "Install from sdcard"

- Select the MX_LINUX_vX.XX-XXXX-Update.zip and wait while it installs

- Once install is complete select "Reboot system now"

- Enjoy!

(G18REF/MX2REF) NOTE: If your 2nd boot splash is not displayed properly do the following

- Flash build v0.03

- Allow full boot

- Repeat upgrade procedure with newest version
