Logitech C310 works perfectly. I just did a video call with Google+ and both the sound and the image are great.

I am running finless 1.7a. I highly recommend it!
[Android Stick & Console RockChip based Computers] Gazcobain:
Another question, guys. Trying to follow the guide for rooting but when I connect the MK809ii up to my PC, nothing happens. As I read it, the PC is supposed to detect something attached - but nothing at all happens.

It must be getting *something* from the USB port, because I can power it from a USB port while it's connected by HDMI to my TV, but nothing else.

Any ideas?
[Android Stick & Console RockChip based Computers] Echelonblue:
use the micro sd port on the side to connect the device to your pc. enable usb debugging and use the connect to pc option.

I had to fact-reset mine to get ADB working.

also don't plugin any other usb device in your stick with exception of a usb mouse to control the stick.

Hi to everyone on the forum, I read every post in this thread but am still a little confused as how to flash my MK809ii.

I have downloaded all the drivers PDF etc from the first post. I have downloaded the SDK pack and I have downloaded finless 1.5 rom.

If I follow the instructions in the original PDF document I'm presuming this only roots the device. Are there any instructions as to how to flash the new ROM. Sorry if this is an obvious question but I am completely new to this.

Thanks

[Android Stick & Console RockChip based Computers] blinkone:
Hi there the instructions in the first post are to root your device,,you do not need to do this if your going to install the finless rom as that is fully rooted already the instructions on how to flash your device (install finless)are in a read me file in the finless rom zip,,download the rom unzip it & there is everything you need,,i would read the instructions a few times so that you are clear on what need to be done but it is rather simple as i have managed to do it lol lol

Hi there,, make sure the wifi is turned on in your stick settings you could also try it as close to your router as possable as the wifi antena sometimes is not so good,aso try rebooting your device this may help.
[Android Stick & Console RockChip based Computers] davphi338:
Thanks for the prompt reply, I was beginning to get a little confused with all the SDK options and that was just to Root. The readme for finless Rom seems a little more straight forward. Can I just confirm that although the Rom say it is for the MX1 it works all OK with the MK809ii.
[Android Stick & Console RockChip based Computers] blinkone:
Hello again,, yes the imito MX1/2 rom is all good on the mk809ii infact it is much better than the mk809ii stock roms are ..theres a new finless rom out now the 1.7 its been out about a week now im still on the 1.5 for now but im sure i will soon upgrade... so just to confirm you need the imito MX1/2 finless rom either the 1.5 or the 1.7 & yes its quite easy to install it..i printed the instructions out & read them about 20 times (it takes a wile to sink in with me im a noob to all this lol ) just follow the instructions to the tee& you should be fine...
[Android Stick & Console RockChip based Computers] hoosbude:
OOPS!!

I didn't read and took the wrong route to getting finless.

I rooted the device then added clockwork mod recovery, so the instructions for installing finless don't work.

Does anyone have or a link to a clockwork mod recovery flashable zip for finless (or any other compatible mk809 II rom)
[Android Stick & Console RockChip based Computers] davphi338:
Thanks for the replies, device now flashed with finless 1.5, downloaded the developers version of XBMC and 720p now playing without stutter. Also tweaked a bit to get the larger Icons and very pleased with results. For those who have flashed finless 1.7 Rom is there much of an improvement over 1.5 ? I might give it a go at some poitnt but there seems little point if everything working fine on 1.5.
[Android Stick & Console RockChip based Computers] Gazcobain:
Does your Wi-Fi work okay? I flashed with Finless 1.5 and now my Wi-Fi won't turn on :(
[Android Stick & Console RockChip based Computers] davphi338:
Yes everything working OK, Wifi and bluetooth. What was strange is that during the flash it actually failed and came up with ERROR but quite near the end of the process. I tried to flash again and ERROR straight away. I booted up the device and the Rom had installed and appears to be working all OK.

Hi,

Currently I control the device with a Galaxy tab2 via wifi and that works perfectly. I need yo be able to remotely control the device when wifi isn't available, I've tried tablet remote app and it works OK but it does not provide a mouse pointer you can only tab around and sometimes it does not tab to the area I need to select.

has anyone had any sucess with the mini bluetooth keyboards/touch pad devices. Reading some of the specs it states that pointer pad does not work on tablets so they basically become remote keyboards. Can anyone confirm if that is correct.

The device i am thinking of is a SODIAL from Amazon, sorry can't put a link up because not enougth posts yet. Although its the Anker version that states the touch pad does not work with tablets.
[Android Stick & Console RockChip based Computers] Gazcobain:
I'm having quite a bother with this. I can flash with Finless 1.5 absolutely fine but lose WiFi and Bluetooth. I've also tried flashing with 1.7 but when I do so it appears to flash okay, but then on the "system loading" Yuamado (sp?) screen it just sticks there and doesn't go any further.
[Android Stick & Console RockChip based Computers] futoisaru:
Hi guys,

I have a MK809II and I've been trying to get Finless flashed onto it, however I've been trying to get it to go into flash mode for days to no avail. I'm on Win7 64bit and I've tried using Rom Flash Tool included in the Finless package but it never finds the device, I've tried USB Debugging on/off, changing Storage from Mass, MTP, etc and nothing. I've tried 2 computers, both with the same OS, and numerous USB cables and it just won't find it. The computer finds it as a mass storage and I can see the drive 'ROCKCHIPS' so I know its connected properly.

I've also tried pushing a paper clip in the hole next to the sd card slot to reboot it to flash it but nothing happens at all. I've reset the stick numerous times and put it back to factory settings and I feel like I'm getting nowhere.

Has anyone else had these issues? Any help would be greatly appreciated.
[Android Stick & Console RockChip based Computers] CraigJen11:
So from what I read and I think what I understood is that if I install the Finless rom 1.5, I would not need to root the device since the rom is already fully rooted? Also, What would be the benefits of rooting them compared to using the MK809II straight off the box? I just recently bought the mk808b but I am considering of buying the mk809ii as well. Any input on these thoughts?
[Android Stick & Console RockChip based Computers] davphi338:
Have you tried the alternative method of putting it into flash mode as stated in the 1.5 rom pdf instructions. It was the only way I could get my device into flash mode, the Rom flash tool didn't work for me either but the alternative RKbatchtool worked OK. Its all in the PDF file instructions.
[Android Stick & Console RockChip based Computers] blinkone:
Yes finless rom is already rooted:cool: .. rooted rom's are needed to use some app's eg droidmote,cpu controll,ect basically give you access to the system files,,but dont mess with them if your not sure what your doing..finless roms are a great improvement to the stock roms they run a lot smother & you get the option to set your ram to a larger size (big help)+ you can use xbox & playstation controller
[Android Stick & Console RockChip based Computers] kingcliff00:
i also had that problem here is where i downloaded the rom http://www.freaktab.com/showthread.php?3133-Imito-MX1-Finless-1-5-ROM-download

in the zip there is a folder called alternate_reboot_to_flash_tool use the file called RKBatchTool Click on switch then go back and use ROM Flash Tool i hope this helps you

ripped off??? please help

Dear fellows,

i bought a MK809ii from ebay (atleast the picture says mk809ii). but in the settings it says MK806b as model and as can be seen in the pictures it has "iCube R1" written on it instead of "MK809 ii". The manual is for MK809 and not MK809ii.

however, it has got bluetooth and 3 usb ports (dc, usb, host) which i think are only standard for mk809ii and not even 809 or 806.

did anybody have same experience???

could it just be that Firmware is reporting it incorrectly.

If you prize apart the stick (its only held together with small plastic clips) you will see the tiny reset button in line (more or less) with the small hole about an inch from the sdcard.Its a bit hit and miss trying to push it through the small hole while the stick is unopened.
[Android Stick & Console RockChip based Computers] davphi338:
When you push the reset button through the hole you should feel it engaging/disengaging when you push/release. To put device into flash mode,hold the reset button before connecting to pc. keep switch held and connect to usb port on pc via otg cable. Keep hold of switch for 3-5 secs then release. The pc should then ping and recognise device if the drivers are already installed.

Having trouble getting your PC to recognize your device?

TRYING TO UPGRADE/FLASH FINLESS? HAVING HARD TIME TRYING TO FIGURE OUT THE FIRST STEP?

I feel your pain.

Follow these instructions:

Plug your Android device into your HDTV and boot it up

Go into settings and click on developer options. Make sure USB debugging is OFF.

Go into storage settings. At the top right are 3 dots. Click it and select MASS Storage box.

Go into USB menu and turn on USB. Note: on first boot this check box is out of sync so you may have to click it twice.

Shut down the device by clicking on the power button at the bottom of the screen (or just pull the power from wall)

Now you are ready to connect the stick to your PC to flash/upgrade the ROM/firmware.

Open up your device carefully. I have a cozyswan mk809ii and it took a bit of a force to pull the case apart.

While pressing the grey button (the only one you can see) carefully insert a cable to the side USB slot (by the micro SD).

Now you should be in a flash mode and your flash program should be able to detect it.

If not, try repeating the steps, or try a different cable or usb slot. There are a number of little things that need to be in the right place to make it work.

Now locate and intercept the driver installation process from the system tray (if you haven't got the add new hardware popup) to locate and install the driver manually (if you're downloading the package from the link below, it's included).

Link to Finless 1.5 (installing later versions will NOT allow your wi-fi to function):

I have flashed a MK809II with both finless 1.7a and 1.7b and both worked all OK with bluetooth and Wifi working. 1.7a is the only one which gives you 1080p option though. As Finless states in his thread if you are having problems with one Rom i.e wireless try the other Rom version,

[Android Stick & Console RockChip based Computers] davphi338:
I think it depends on what version of XBMC you are using. Have a look at XBMCANDROID forums. I am using a version that calls an external player and I have no issues with stuttering. XBMC for android seems to be in the development stage as regards hardware decoding of video.

Finless 1.8 on MK809II

has anyone tried?
[Android Stick & Console RockChip based Computers] asanado:
Hi,

I am a noob of android and to this forum, and recently I bought the MK809 II.

I read all of this thread from the beginning and I want to thank you all for your work and your help and explanations - It helped me to understand what to do in order to root q install a new ROM.

kingcliff00,

There is one thing that I did not understand - Is the 1080p Kernel part of the Finless 1.7a, or do I need to download it separately?

Echelonblue,

I think it will be very usefull if someone (I would have done it myself if I had the knowledge to do it right) will write a full step by step guide of how to Root / How to Install the Finless ROM (I saw that there are some good posts about it), and will add all the links to download the files that are needed for these procedures in one place - And you will edit your first post and include the guide there?

Thanks again to all, I will flash my MK as soon as I'll have some spare time...

Edit: Just another question - Is it possible to make the TeamViewerQS app work with the Finless ROM? (someone made it work with CM10)
[Android Stick & Console RockChip based Computers] numnutss:
hi, if you download the finless ROM from his website there is a very thorough guide within the download folder, you just change the 1080 file in the finless tool before you flash.

hope this helps
[Android Stick & Console RockChip based Computers] asanado:
I didn't download it yet, so maybee thats why I don't understand - but what do you mean by "change the 1080 file"? are all the needed files are there?

Thanks
[Android Stick & Console RockChip based Computers] boyzie:
When you open finless rom flash tool you need to click the little box on the right of the kernal or img you want to change and this will open a file browser and you browse to the finless rom folder and select what img or kernal you want to change.TBH I have found the stock firmware on my MK809 ll to be better,faster and more cleaner than the finless rom,(1.7a).Just my opinion.

Just a quick edit,flashed the Imito MX1_MX2 Finless 1.7b ROM to my mk809 ll and now prefer this to the stock firmware on the mk809 ll website.

Couple of quick questions, hope someone can help :)

Can an externally powered NTFS USB HDD be connected? any capacity limits?

Will this easily run 1080p MKVs? (i.e. without stuttering)

Will this easily run XBMC? (I've read about checking compatibility with users before buying)

[Android Stick & Console RockChip based Computers] walleyP:
Same problem here, I ordered a mk809II from a guy on Amazon and it's showing up as a mk806b in about device. I contacted the seller and he just said it's because they share the same firmware.

If it isn't a mk809II and I need to update it or start playing with custom roms etc I don't want to run into problems. I intend to read everything in this thread first, being a noob, but I don't want to waste my time if it's not even the same device.

I can't post links but the listing on Amazon is -

*Pre Launch Sale* Neuropad Neurobox Dual Core MK809II Bluetooth Cortex A9 Dual Core 1.6Ghz, 1GB DDR3, 8GB Storage Android Mini PC / HD media Player / Data Streamer

And the system info of the device I have received is the same as AmerFraz listed in the quoted post.

If any of you experts could have a quick look and tell me if you think I have received what I ordered that would really help me out because I have spent hours on Google and there are so many different versions I can't figure it out. I would rather get a refund now and order elsewhere if it's going to be hassle trying to do anything interesting with it in the future.

Thanks in advance
