Uhm... but the micro usb port has "host" wrote on it, the "DC" port is full usb.

now I try...
[Android Stick & Console RockChip based Computers] sakana:
micro usb must be DC. Full USB is Host

In my MK809 II
[Android Stick & Console RockChip based Computers] SoulReaver75:
How can this be possible?
[Android Stick & Console RockChip based Computers] SoulReaver75:
mine is exactly like this.

in the video he shows a 2A ac adapter. Mine is just 1A.

[Android Stick & Console RockChip based Computers] Echelonblue:
just ignore the signs on the case. it isn't right. tried al options when rooting the device.

And the manual that comes with the device says a different thing the letters on the casing

the micro-usb connector on the side of the stick is the dc-in port. In my case it was the only port that gave the adb connectivity.

the micro-usb and the full usb ports on the bottom of the stick are the host ports. just try it with the adapter that came with the stick.

1A DC out is more than enough to keep te stick going. if you use it to power some portable 2.5" Harddisk, it would be advisable to use a powered usb hub. or a dc supply that has more amps to deliver.

Good to know, thanks.

But I just tried... it doesn't work.

I also tried an Ipad charger, nothing. :crying:

Uhm... I tried it connected to our videoconference screen and... it works on both micro-usb!!!

I'm at the office

Have my MK809 II, AC Power, usb cables and have turn on usb when is connected to TV.

Now, i try to connect to my laptop. AC Power, Usb Cable to MK809 II, and USB cable to Laptop.

Nothing happends. The laptop don't recognize de mk809 II

Something is missing ?

Thanks
[Android Stick & Console RockChip based Computers] SoulReaver75:
Thanks Echelonblue for the root guide, it worked flawlessy.

So now I have the MK809II working and rooted.

Stock firmware is nice because it already has the shutdown button and the hide bar, feature missing in other products.

I had some problem running antutu test, it went back to home screen without finishing several time.

now i tried to low down the clock to 1.4GHz, let's see.

I just did some quick test.

Wi-Fi signal is full even if the router is in another room, but wi-fi speed is quite low. (ok, I have a "G" access point).

I need some help on connecting devices.

I connected power on side micro-usb, and small NOT powere usb hub on the full usb (I had only that at the moment).

On this hub I connected the Mele F10 receiver.

Then I tried to connect a usb key, it needs less power than a usb disk, but it did not work. If it sees the usb key, the remote stops working. If remote works, the usb key disappears.

I tried to connect them, one at time and together, on the bottom micro-usb, but no success.

Is this just because the hub is not powered?
[Android Stick & Console RockChip based Computers] Echelonblue:
Had a similar issue. Had a powered hub connected to the fullsize usb port. When I power the stick up. Only the usb keyboard works. The flashdrive, webcam and usbmouse not. When I unplug the keyboard for a short while. Every usb device connects. Also the usb keyboard. When this doesn't work. It could be a power issue?

Hello all,

I'm seriously thinking about getting one of these devices (MK809II) for my mother.

All she wants to do it use Navi-X on XBMC to stream movies (preferably in HD).

Can the MK809II stream HD movies from Navi-X via Wi-Fi out of the box?

If not, do I just need to install Finless 1.5 to get it to stream HD movies from Navi-X via Wi-Fi?

The router is about 16ft away through a wall, will this pose a problem?
[Android Stick & Console RockChip based Computers] androidtvnoob:
I thought MK809 already comes with jellybean installed? Cant we just use that and install XBMC on it? (i am a noob here), What so good about that finless ROM? What can we do with it?
[Android Stick & Console RockChip based Computers] SoulReaver75:
can someone with original rom check the real clock frequencies?

After flashing iMito MX1 rom I noticed that even if I set 1.6GHz, it stops at 1.2GHz.
[Android Stick & Console RockChip based Computers] Echelonblue:
Yes xbmc works with the stick. Better root it or install the finless rom. The data partition of the original fw is 512 mb when installing xbmc 220nb of that partition id used. If you root it you can use link2sd to create a secondairy partition on a sdcard. Or ues the finless rom that comes with a bigger datapartition

How to check the real clock frequencies of the original rom?
[Android Stick & Console RockChip based Computers] SoulReaver75:
uhm... for example using setcpu or antutu cpu master, but they work only if you are rooted.

maybe cpu checker (free) or similar apps.

May i know why people are still considering the MK802II? I thought MK802 had a lot of issues and glitches. Wouldnt it be wise to get MK809 instead? Or at the very least, the MK808?
[Android Stick & Console RockChip based Computers] hankhandsome:
i got one of these today and i'm looking to root it. i'm considering trying the method in the 2nd post, but i'm not 100% confident with it - i've rooted and flashed many phones before, but usually because it's been quite easy and the kernels have already been available.

been reading around for an easier solution and found this .. would it work ?

http://www.androidtablets.net/forum/w2comp-com/47986-steps-root-ug802.html

it apparently works for rockchip 3066 devices, which the MK809 ii is, so if anyone could actually confirm then i'll give it a go - really don't want to brick the device on the first day if i can help it - thanks :)
[Android Stick & Console RockChip based Computers] TommeleTBone:
http://www.freaktab.com/showthread.php?3133-Imito-MX1-Finless-1-5-ROM-download is for me the best method, and you get a custom rom with it! the only issue is, there have been some devices where wifi does not work afterwards like on mine mk809 , but there also some mk809II users where this all works perfectly.

basicaly it works like this:

-install the rkusb driver (incl.in the package)

-boot stick on usbport on your laptop , enable "connect to pc"

-get stick into flashmode

-flash image
[Android Stick & Console RockChip based Computers] hankhandsome:
thankyou for such a rapid response :)

i'll have a look at that method. if it's easy enough to return it to the stock rom and regain WiFi (if lost..) then i'll certainly give it a try. I do have the MK809 ii as well so i might be lucky

Is it a 64 bit OS?

Try this for installing the driver

An easy way to load the unsigned driver is by pressing F8 during the boot sequence (just after POST, but before the Windows loading logo), which opens up the Advanced Boot Options list, and choosing the Disable Driver Signature Enforcemen

Or:

Disable Driver Signing.

Follow these steps to disable driver signing using the Group Policy Editor.

Hit the Win+R keys together to open the run dialog. Type gpedit.msc to open the local groups policy editor.

Expand ‘Administrative Templates’ (it’s under ‘User Configuration’). Expand ‘System’. Click ‘Driver Installation’.

In the right panel, double click on ‘Code Signing for Device Drivers’.

Choose ‘Enabled’ in the window that appears. In the underlying options, choose ‘Ignore’. This disables drivers signing in Windows 7, and now you can install unsigned drivers in Windows 7.

Click Apply.Restart your computer to install unsigned drivers.

It's because the MK809 ii has a different Wifi chip and, as I understand, 1.5 is the last compatible version.

Little bit different for win 8 x64

this should do the trick

Windows 8 x64 Unsigned Driver Override

One of the new security measures in Windows 8 is automatically blocking the

installation of unsigned drivers. The following is a temporary way around this issue

Do the following...

1.

Launch the Run Command

dialog

by pressing the

Windows Key + R

2.

Enter

the following command into the Run dialog box:

shutdown.exe /r /o /f /t 00

(there is a space before each / and the last 2 characters are zeros)

3.

Click the "OK" button

4.

You will now be on the "Choose an option" screen

5.

Select "Troubleshoot"

6.

Select "Advanced options"

7.

Select "Start-up Settings"

8.

"Start-up Settings"

screen displays a list of options and a “Restart” button

9.

Click

the "Restart" button to restart the system

10.

Start now allows you to select a boot option

11.

Select "Disable Driver Signature Enforcement" (number 7 on the list)

12.

Once the system starts, install the drivers as you would on Windows 7

13.

When finished installing the drivers, restart system in normal mode

I am not sure if the following solution work:

USB HUB (EM1126 from Eminent powered by adapter). This Hub is powered by an adapter and has 6 slots. Will I able to connect the hub to the MK809 II and connect the RC11 Air Mouse, External Hard Drive and USB Camera to the Hub, and will all these devices then be working fine?
