It depends on the box seller if they want to sell a rooted box, or allow rooting. I don't know about the mygica. No one will advertise that their box is rooted, you usually find out when you first try to do it. In general, generic boxes allow root access, but manufacturers that sell customized boxes can lock them down, to protect their customization. Ssearch for some videos on how to root an android device for newbies, but they can be unintentionally scary.
Androids aren't 'jailbroken', they are 'rooted', which mean that you can have access to the root directory, and screw things up. It does allow you to write to certain directories which make it easier to install certain apps, like adblockers, or system folder modifiers, that a manufacturer doesn't want you to do.
Get a 'rooted' box, just be careful, and don't blame anyone if you screw things up.
so I ended up going with mygica 1900 model but I am so unhappy with it. Basically I need to research each and every add on and its not that easy to get good addons, so many crappy ones from what I can see. So I am not sure I am gonna keep this!!! If I can't get some good content then this box is useless for me...
Just go to Craigslist and search for Amazon Firestick.......sellers are sideloading Kodi on them and putting in the addons .......they charge anywhere from 60.00 to 125.00 for the preloaded stick......You can buy a brand new one from Amazon or Bestbuy for 39.00.......and put Kodi on it yourself for free......................
Be careful buying them preloaded with addons. That's where things get "grey". Very simple to install Kodi on firesticks and boxes.
been reading a lot of reviews that the firesticks are not that good for full time use, and suck at streaming HD contents or Live content, can anyone comment on this.
thanks again for your help on this!
