OK, but how to install TWRP. I downloaded the right version and I have no idea what to do next.

Thank you very much, but I have another question: how to enter stock recovery and whether it can be operated with the remote control?
Hold the reset button (at the end of the A/V port hole, or separate button on the box) pressed for a few moments and power on the device.
Stock recovery can be operated with the remote, for TWRP recovery you have to attach mouse (wired/wireless/air whatever at hand).
Hmm... I noticed a problem. Is it possible that the reset button stopped working after installing Slimbox 9.3? The way you suggested to enter recovery does not work, also USB Burning Tool does not detect the device after connecting it to the computer with a USB cable and pressing reset. It worked before.Hold the reset button (at the end of the A/V port hole, or separate button on the box) pressed for a few moments and power on the device.
This way works, I can enter recovery and install TWRP_AML_SlimHouse_3.5.2.zip, but when TWRP starts it stops at the graphics page and you can't go further with the remote control or mouse.Or with power menu from play store (needs root) reboot in recovery mode.
Where i can find Swift backup mod apk? I know it was on rom but i uninstalled it by mistake ..Just backup with Swift Backup and it makes it easy to clean install.
Not working wireless mouse and 2.4 Ghz remote with airmouse. They work in stock recovery. Teamwin logo appears after installing TWRP. and can't go any further. No reaction to mouse movements and clicks. Any ideas?

The solution for the Mini M8S II turned out to be the use of TWRP_AML_SlimHouse_3.4.0_3, which works normally unlike the last version 3.5.2. Important for owners of this box who want to install ROM sbx_amlogics_905x_atv_9_3: the reset button stops working, i.e. using the USB Burning Tool and thus installing a new ROM is impossible because the computer does not detect the box. You need to use Nand Chip Mask Rom, i.e. short the appropriate pins on the motherboard. I don't know which ones yet. Maybe someone will help.This way works, I can enter recovery and install TWRP_AML_SlimHouse_3.5.2.zip, but when TWRP starts it stops at the graphics page and you can't go further with the remote control or mouse.
On 3.1 or higher you have to wait before pressing the start button until the PC recognize the tv box. On any 2 Amlogic burning tool you have to push the start button right away and connect the tv box to the PC with pressed start button.
cat /dev/block/boot > /sdcard/boot.img
3. Extract boot.img from stock firmware
You need to have a stock rom for your device.
Ideally a zipped rom, so that you can extract the "boot.img" out of it.
In case you have an img-file, than you need to extract "boot.img" out of it via Amlogic toolkit:
GitHub - natinusala/linux-amlogic-toolkit: Allows to unpack and repack AMLogic images for Android 7 without the Customization Tool
Allows to unpack and repack AMLogic images for...github.com
By this you can extract the stock boot.img from the stock firmware.
