If you truly own model mdz-16-ab, selecting a different language from among the several dozens supported is a simple click of the remote when you're in settings menu.
What version androidtv is currently running?
Re-install stock launcher
I removed the stock launcher some time ago and can't remember the exact commands used, and I'm not able to get the stock launcher reinstalled and working.
It looks like I used the commands 'pm uninstall -k --user 0 com.google.android.leanbacklauncher' and 'pm uninstall -k --user 0 com.google.android.tvlauncher' when on Oreo. Does anyone know how to reverse these commands?
Edit: Answering my own question, I found the command 'adb shell cmd package install-existing com.google.android.tvlauncher' and 'adb shell cmd package install-existing com.google.android.leanbacklauncher' reverses the above commands.
I'm not sure why I wanted to go back to the stock launcher. It's horrible.

12Found the link for google's servers: android.googleapis.com/packages/ota/xiaomi_once_once/87cf61497f0f6c6ed49ff22bc9b8bd3d3167b9e5.zip
and latest Android 6.0 r750 in case you want to revert: android.googleapis.com/packages/ota/xiaomi_once_once/4798e23749378f1bc5a7a072b2d9351a980abbfb.zip
Happy Easter everyone!10I was able to get this rooted, but haven't been able to unlock the bootloader.
- Download MiBOX3S_USA_once_r454.zip from 4PDA.ru unrar it and put it on a USB stick.
- Turn on adb from the developer options, connect, and "adb reboot recovery"
- Unplug the USB cable and plug in the USB stick. Choose "Install from EXT">"From UDISK", and flash the update.
- Reboot it and plug the USB cable back in. Re-enable usb debugging (if your settings were cleared) then disable dm-verity by typing "adb root" then "adb disable-verity" and then "adb reboot"
- Once it reboots, you are now free to modify the system partition as you see fit by typing "adb root" then "adb remount". you are effectively 'rooted' at this point.
I went further and manually installed SuperSU to enjoy some rooted app goodness, but to be honest, it was a pain.
One thing I noticed is that the most recent OTA wipes your changes, so you may want to disable updates until I can come up with a more elegant solution:
Code:adb root adb shell pm disable com.google.android.gms/.update.SystemUpdateService adb shell pm disable com.google.android.gms/.update.SystemUpdateService$ActiveReceiver adb shell pm disable com.google.android.gms/.update.SystemUpdateService$Receiver adb shell pm disable com.google.android.gms/.update.SystemUpdateService$SecretCodeReceiver adb shell pm disable com.google.android.gsf/.update.SystemUpdateActivity adb shell pm disable com.google.android.gsf/.update.SystemUpdatePanoActivity adb shell pm disable com.google.android.gsf/.update.SystemUpdateService adb shell pm disable com.google.android.gsf/.update.SystemUpdateService$Receiver adb shell pm disable com.google.android.gsf/.update.SystemUpdateService$SecretCodeReceiver

I have a bootloader unlock authorization for this device from xiaomi, but I can't seem to get it into either bootloader mode or EDL mode. Any help on this front would be appreciated.10supersu script
The attached script will install supersu after following my previous guide.
12/19/2016 -- updated script --
The script represents the steps I manually took to install supersu, and should work, but is itself untested. You can open up the .bat file with notepad to see what's going on.
Unzip the attached file on your desktop or somewhere, then double click InstallScript.bat
IMPORTANT (As I've stated previously): Due to an issue with SElinux, make sure USB Debugging is ALWAYS ON prior to rebooting the box, otherwise you'll need to reinstall the firmware.
If you hang after a reboot, do this:
- in your connected computer, in a shell, type "adb root"
- type "adb shell setenforce 0"
8USA MDZ-16-AB updated supersu script
I believe I've corrected to bootloop issue and submit an updated script.
