Hi uninstalled xbmc on my m8 box after following video on the forum but can't find pre installed apps in file manager hd to re-install it. Any help you could give me would be much appreciated thanks

I have no idea about this box, but with all others you could do a factory reset to fix almost any problem, check out how to do a factory reset, or better still wait until one of the admins gets online, they'll know what to do, but do check out the FAQ or other post in the meantime, mat

Thanks mate tried the factory reset but no joy. Ended up downloading xbmc after a google search and am currently installing the droidbox wizard so hopefully it works

Hi the factory reset completely wiped my box don't have any apps on it now and the xbmc wouldn't stream any videos after I downloaded it and added the wizard. Tried resetting again but still the same outcome

After a factory reset, you need to wait (as in not open anything, and definitely not restart your device) for around 20 minutes (once you reach the launcher's homescreen), for the applications to be automatically reinstalled.
If you try that again, and still nothing helps, can I double check that you've opened ES File Explorer. If that isn't in your list of installed apps, sign into the Play Store - https://droidbox.co.uk/blog/googles-play-store-signing-in-and-auto-updates/ - search for and then install ES File Explorer. Then you clicked on the /Device link on the left of the ES File Explorer screen, then navigated to /system/preinstall ?
If that doesn't help, please send us an e-mail ( [email protected] ) with the info mentioned here - http://droidboxforums.com/threads/what-to-include-if-you-need-to-e-mail-us.364/ and ask us to send you the applications currently missing from your device.

Hi, go to all apps and watch them pop up one at a time, XBMC is one of the last to pop up on mine, takes a while, sorry I should of mentioned this in the first post, my bad mate, good luck with the reset. mat. (all apps the little round thing on your front page, bottom centre, but you probably already know this :))

No probs mat tried resetting again and left for an hour before touching anything. Still nothing just a few basics apps like Twitter, Facebook + YouTube nothing else popping up. Downloaded ES File Explorer clicked on the /Device link on the left of the ES File Explorer screen, then navigated to /system/ but was no pre install link. I'll send an email to the link u sent me thanks
