I am trying to get the WIFI working but nothing is working. The only solution I have not tried yet is what I mentioned above but I cant proceed because my box isn’t rooted. Can anyone just send me to a link that shows me how to do this not a generic forum?
Danny,
Get the WIFI working properly first… Then check this site here for your Android box for rooting instructions and much more. Droid Box Forums.

Hi I have a DROIBOX MXQ Android version 4.4.2
My WiFi was working fine but now it isn’t for some reason. I read online that I have to basically delete a file called wpa_supplicant.conf’
I DL Root Explorer to a USB Stick then installed it on my Android box but when I clicked on the DATA file (Which is the first of three I need to go through to get to the file above) it says that My Android device is not rooted. How do I root the box. Its been pretty unclear so far from what I have searched for. Any help would be appreciated.
Obviously If you can fix the wifi issue without the above steps that would be easier :)
Thanks a lot for the information.
Few months ago, I downloaded Kodi and reprogrammed my TV box as your instruction. It is working well. But currently, those movie links like Phoenix, ice film, one channel,.. are not stable. When I try to play the movies lay out. It always say : ” UNABLE TO LOCATE LINKS “, ”UNPLAYABLE STREAM” ,…Turn out all the movies are not playable. Is there any way to make them work again or it has to be reprogrammed ?
My TV box is a MBX model, Android version 4.2.2
Thanks a lot
Standford,
Which Android box do you have? If after installing the video add-ons you had an access issue, it may be possible that one of them caused the issue. If you cannot install anything after a factory reset, go to the website of the manufacturer of who built it and look in the support pages for help.
