Help with my android box

[irishbhoy1916]

Hi all , im lookig for some info on a android tv box I bought a few weeks back ! First of all I want to say im relatively new to this whole notion of rooting , firmware , flashing etc etc and to be honest from reading or viewing videos im all mixed up as to where to start first ?

This box is a android b351 box , R-box is what appears on start up !
first off I noticed that the box was telling me im not connected to the net even though I was .
I tried factory reseting it but it made no difference .
I bought the box to use xbmc on it but when I installed (xunitytalk) version it seems very buggy and crashes alot or films dont play very smoothly .
I have updated my connection to a fibre powered line thinking my speeds where not up to scratch but that wasn't it ..
So after researching a bit ive learned that the box needs 1 : rooting 2roper flash/firmware 3: updating the os to 4.4 kit kat as 99% of these devices are not properly set up to run xbmc ..
Another term ive heard is kernaling it ?? I now know these things need to be done first before a proper build of the unit can commence but I dont know where to start ?
Thats where I hope someone here can help ..
Thanks..

Welcome to the Forum. Most of these Android boxes come pre-rooted. Check with the manufacturer to verify.
For a clean version of xbmc, try this link. Make sure you install the file that is compatible with your box.

This box ain't pre rooted Jeffrey , cause I downloaded a app the other day (fullscreen) which I couldn't use and I got a notification that the box needs rooting to use ..
I already am aware of the kodi/ xbmc website for downloading the software .
It's the rooting / flashing / os I want to learn about & get right first .
Where do I start ? Root then firmware then os ?

Yes, root comes first. You will need a root method that is compatible with your box.
Once rooted you can flash a custom ROM or Stock Android.

How do I find a compatible root method ?
