I got the mx2. It's advertised to run at 1.6 GHz buy I'm seeing 1.2 even if I set it at 1.6 anyone else notice this?
[Android Stick & Console RockChip based Computers] sancho1234:
The CPU can run on 1.6GHz, but it will be very hot. Therefore it's limited to 1.2GHz.

[Android Stick & Console RockChip based Computers] sancho1234:
This is not ROM problem. The metal case is hide the wireless antenna.

[Android Stick & Console RockChip based Computers] hfmls:

No necessary. Turn out the antenna cable from the case. You can found some pictures about antenna hacks in this topic. ;)

[SOLVED] iMito MX1 stuck on boot screen Finless ROM 1.5

This worked for me on the Finless ROM 1.5 which suddenly wouldn't boot up beyond the boot screen:

Install recovery.img from: CWM with the Finless ROM flash tool (only selecting recovery)

Boot into recovery by powering on with the reset button pressed (paperclip in hole next to the HDMI plug)

Create a backup

In recovery erase cache, dalvik cache and fix permissions.

Reboot

If a factory reset seems to have occurred, go back into Recovery and restore only the DATA bit from the backup through Advanced Restore.

Android 4.2 ROM?

I'm running the Finless 1.5 ROM and would like to upgrade to Android 4.2 I have found a Cyanogenmod 10.1 ROM that is for another stick and wondering if it will work for the iMito MX. cm3066.com has it there but no dfevelopment for this device yet. Has anyone come across a 4.2 ROM??? I think Android's Daydream would be great as a screensaver for my plasma screen, as well as all of the other improvements in 4.2
[Android Stick & Console RockChip based Computers] wakkaday:
Ok when I want to root? Do I need to connect it to a tv via hdmi or monitor. I don't have a pc at moment so I can only do it at work? Is this possible to do ? If I follow instructions and have it connected to work pc I won't be able to boot it up until I get home though?
[Android Stick & Console RockChip based Computers] A380:
Lastest official ROM - 1080p Rooted - Improved wifi

Based on latest official ROM - 1080p Rooted - Improved wifi

Just get the rom from here: http://www.arctablet.com/blog/forum...-rooted-firmware-from-latest-update-20130204/

You can follow the instructions there or simply put the update.img in the zip file on a micro sd card and insert it into the MX1/MX2.

Your MX1 will ask you if you want to apply the update. Afterwards, you have root access and you can change the resolution to 1080p.

Of course I recommend creating backups with Carbon first. I didn't lose any data, but the data partition is increased to 2Gb and mine already was 2Gb.

Edit: it depends on which rom you're currently using, apparently.
[Android Stick & Console RockChip based Computers] theadb:
If I put the IMG file on a SD and start it up the MX1 will automatically detect it and do the update? No fumbling with drivers and buggy software to try and root from my Windows 8 box?
[Android Stick & Console RockChip based Computers] wakkaday:
so i can just put a single image file on the sd card. i dont need mess around with anything else? and flash via pc

whats the finless rom 1.5 then, is that different from the root in the link you provided?
[Android Stick & Console RockChip based Computers] A380:
Yes, exactly. The only requirement is that your current firmware is new enough (from Dec 2012 I believe) to detect update files.

---------- Post added at 06:47 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:44 PM ----------

Yes, indeed. No connection to a PC required. Painless way of getting root access.

I found the WIFI on the Arctablet rom to be more stable than on Finless 1.5.
[Android Stick & Console RockChip based Computers] wakkaday:
great i dont have a pc at the moment.. could i download from the android system itself and transfer to the sd card ( i think mine does that anyway_) then i will try and run it..

and i should be able to change the resolition to 1080p?

thanks
[Android Stick & Console RockChip based Computers] A380:
Yeah, that would work. Just unzip/extract it with Solid Explorer, or something, and put it the the root folder of the sd card.

To change it to 1080p go to settings and you'll find it in the screen/display section.
[Android Stick & Console RockChip based Computers] wakkaday:
Oh no I have done what you said. It said it was successful and then it also gave me an error saying that the sd card was damaged . However when I try to turn on wifi it doesn't go to "on" it's just stuck on no. And doesn't let me enable. I have tired a factory reset and its the same problem . I can't switch on wifi
[Android Stick & Console RockChip based Computers] A380:
Sorry to hear that! Which rom were you on before? Stock?
[Android Stick & Console RockChip based Computers] wakkaday:
Yeh stock rom. I've reformatted sd card and I have no pc. Only an iPhone will have to borrow a laptop to put image on sd card and reflash now I guess?
[Android Stick & Console RockChip based Computers] A380:
Sigh...sorry to do this to you. I was expecting to be helpful. Unfortunately, I wasn't on stock. If you follow to instructions on the arctablet website, you should be fine.

Any problems

I have a MX2 on Finless 1.5. Are there problems moving to this new firmware from Finless 1.5.?
[Android Stick & Console RockChip based Computers] A380:
I would not take any chances after reading this. I was on the new non-rooted rom.
[Android Stick & Console RockChip based Computers] wakkaday:
Is the finless rom easy to install?

This does not allow wifi access on mx2. I will have to reflash stock firmware tomorrow and I hope that works
[Android Stick & Console RockChip based Computers] A380:
Finless is as easy or as difficult to install. The wifi speeds are noticeably slower though.

[Android Stick & Console RockChip based Computers] Spheeler:
I've personally gone from finless 1.5 back to stock unrooted with the micro sd card method. So you could just revert back to a previous official firmware then to the rooted arctablet one if you wanted I'm sure. I'll try right now going directly from finless 1.5 to the new firmware via sd card update if it doesn't work I'll let you guys know.

I've really got nothing worth backing up on my device yet so I'm not factoring in restoration of data/apps.

Something to note though is updating via sd will not re partition the storage space like the finless flash tool. so if your going from finless you should still have the 2gb app space or more depending on your choices during the flash.

Not sure how big the new .img file is but there might be an issue depending on the stock apps that are baked in. Providing you chose the maximum app space option while flashing, because of the space it leaves for the Os install.

EDIT: I joined the arctablet forum and read the instructions and you can only install this rooted version of the new firmware with the rkbatch tool because it also re partitions the app space.

So you were able to update from stock firmware right to this new update A380?
[Android Stick & Console RockChip based Computers] A380:
I didn't seem to have root access with that one.

If still needed, I'll upload the Arctablet rom image tonight.

I had repartitioned to 2 Gb data previously, through Finless, before installing the latest from geekbuying.
[Android Stick & Console RockChip based Computers] moviecut:
the arctablet-thread is back online! but thank you for the offering! will flash it now. :good:
[Android Stick & Console RockChip based Computers] wakkaday:
is the mx2 showing 1080p resolution then with these roms?or is this a flaw/produc description which is a lie?
[Android Stick & Console RockChip based Computers] A380:
It will indeed be 1080p. No lying going on here.
[Android Stick & Console RockChip based Computers] jastonas:
1080p stream perfect? I couldn't even get 720p to stream!

I used samba and ES file explorer.

Sent from SGS III GT-I9300 ??????
[Android Stick & Console RockChip based Computers] inquisitor:
I have recently bought a cheap USB 2.0 hub with integrated LAN adaptor (depicted below), which is based on the RD9700/QF9700 LAN chipset and which according to the item description should "support 100BaseT performance". Luckily the iMito MX1 detects it properly (currently running iMito_MX1_V411_130204).

However, while the USB hub actually delivers appropriate data rates the LAN adaptor does in fact only support USB 1.1 (USBview.exe shows "bcdUSB: 0x0110" indicating USB1.1) which limits its LAN performance to 6.7 MBit/s (net data rate) despite my switch indicates a 100MBit/s full duplex link.

What bothers me even more is that it causes my iMito MX1 to freeze once I transfer larger amounts of data. In contrast to that it works flawlessly on my PC, so I can rule out a hardware issue.

I wonder if this is a general problem of the driver for the RD9700/QF9700 chipset or its implementation on the iMito and if other LAN adaptors based on this chipset (like the blue one depicted in the attachment) are also affected or if it is somehow caused by the specific hardware design of this combined device.
[Android Stick & Console RockChip based Computers] drunknbass:
Heads up, My imito mx1 fromAmazon was fake. It was a UG007 in an aluminum imito shell. the reset button on the board was missing (if you try to put a paperclip through the hole youd probably short a chip), used different drivers, etc. Whn it boots it says R-BOX

[Android Stick & Console RockChip based Computers] Spheeler:
If you take it apart you should be able to tell. What does the boot logo say also?
[Android Stick & Console RockChip based Computers] inquisitor:
geekbuying.com is a serious seller who obviously has close ties to iMito as they are always the first to release new ROMs, so you shoudn't be worried.
[Android Stick & Console RockChip based Computers] drunknbass:
mine was an imito mx1 from VALI

http://www.amazon.com/s?me=A3L21YNSYLFCL8&rh=p_4:iMito

If you open it the reset switch is missing. It is actually located under the plastic on the other side (luckily)

but other roms for imito mx1 don't seem to have the right wifi/BT support for this board. The wifi was horrible anyway so I don't really care.

This is what my board looks like.

http://d.pr/i/vITp

You can see a switch on the side. I think some are missing it but you can bridge the pads and get it to reboot to bootloader (or figure out how to get ADB to work w/ it).

I might put together a suite of tools for mac to root/upgrade these.

MHL

Latest PC sticks from Roku and Dell supports HDMI MHL which doesn't require a USB power source. If iMito is limiting processing to 1.2 Ghz, does it really need 2 Amp power adapter? I have Samsung smart TV which have 1 Amp USB power source. I'm thinking at which point it will complain that power is not enough when using only 1 Amp.

Hello fellow stick users. I have a small question I didn't see in the comments. I run out of room very quickly. How can I get the apps to install to the SD partition instead of the regular memory? I tried going to applications manager and moving to SD card but from what i remember being on the gs3, that feature is no longer supported.. I'm confused why it splits the memory up but installs everything to the smaller partition. I don't want to buy an SD card for this thing because all I use it for is streaming and light gaming when I'm bored so help a guy out please. I'm on 4.1.1 stock unrooted mx1

[Android Stick & Console RockChip based Computers] nikev215:
Sorry to hear that you have been sold a fake. I did see that Amazon thread about fakes before ordering my own MX1 from Geekbuying, they had a notice on their site saying that the MX1's they were shipping out were all genuine from the factory, so I ordered a black version around the first week of March, and that's what arrived 7 days later. When you boot-up the Imito you should see the IMITO logo, any thing else is probably fake. If your considering an MX1 Geekbuying are OK, free delivery to the UK took 7 days, and was trackable.

How to flash rom in already rooted device

Hi, I was looking at your instructions and I'm not sure if the bottom note applies. The seller sent me the imito already rooted and with Bob's rom 1.5 installed. I need to flash 1.7 to get the bluetooth working, I believe. Can I just download the rom and change the name as you indicated at the end, or do I need to install Rockusbdriver and flash tool? I would really appreciate it if you could direct me to some instructions for what I need to do.

[Android Stick & Console RockChip based Computers] jjwalker2:
I don't think so. Following the instructions on the website should get you there. You can root after installing it to gain those privileges again. I will try flashing the 4.2 rom tonight.
[Android Stick & Console RockChip based Computers] 2stardiver:
How did your flashing went?
[Android Stick & Console RockChip based Computers] jjwalker2:
Went well. I was using a filess rom and did no unrooting or anything prior to flashing the 4.2 The only issue I had was windows 8. I had to use my win 7 pc to flash.

strange was that in reset button hole I didnt find any hard what to push. so I did open whole stick. and reset button is another side board than hole.

I did manage to root MX1 by this instruction

I disabled usb debugging and enabled USB \ connect PC now in batch tool number 1 turns to pink.

pressed switch button in batch tool, screen in mX1 went to blac,k and it didnt find any driver. searched driver from RKbatchtool directory and after install it turned to green.

then just find update.img and push restore.

And your done.
