I’m more inclined to think KinHank aren’t “fixing” anything since it’s by design.
They are very bad if true since they are handing out Bootloader password , but what good is that if we can’t boot anything. and they openly admit it’s a bug and they working on it.
so either they are lying out their teeth and have no intention of fixing it or it will get fixed . but they could just say they are incompetent and can’t.
also I don’t think it’s even the KinHank that is dealing with anything, isn’t the firmware coming from SDMC, I bet KinHank where taken by surprise and thought it’s a bug but on enquiry they realised SDMC made that decision, that is why they took all wording about Coreelec and emulec out in their response, but I took a screenshot so I can shame them once they come out with “google blocked us with encryption so we can’t do anything about it”
it’s such a shame, the box is like $62 all in. would have been the best box for kodi and more of an incentive that coreelec would get bugs fixed on it.
if they don’t have this “fixed” in 2 weeks I’m calling them liars and will be posting in their facebook to shame them
