I'm looking for best 1Gbit LAN adapter on USB for my MK809II.... Can You suggest me something that will work with MK809II (fineless rom 1.7a) without any problems?

Edit: I have found this: Arkview USB 2.0 1000Mbps Gigabit Ethernet LAN Network Adapter. Will it work? Or I will have to install/compile some drivers?
[Android Stick & Console RockChip based Computers] boyzie:
Have a look here,I also had the same prob as you and I remember installing the PDA net drivers and didnt think anything of it but later when I tried to flash a Finless rom I found that the drivers were working...I must have installed the adbdrivers also from here.http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2083522

Just tried this one and found I had only 1 bar on the wifi icon,but it downloaded an app fast enough,are the bars accurate?,Antutu benchmarks were better but had some issues with my 1080p movies,which is what I mainly use the device for, with MX Player,sound was a bit choppy etc.Ive gone back to Imito MX1_MX2 Finless 1.7b ROM and for me overall it is more snappier and my movies work as they should.Wifi bars are at the top which gives me satisfaction.

Put the device in flash mode while installing the drivers.

Hi,somebody knows can i use ps3 dualshock or my android device to scroll in CWM or i need usb mouse or keyboard?thanks:cool:
[Android Stick & Console RockChip based Computers] klikzord:
DX.com, look for "USB 2.0 10/100Mbps RJ45 LAN Ethernet Network Adapter Dongle". It´s a "staff picks" product.

This is the best one, for a good price. You will get usb 2.0 which means full speed.

Read the reviews in the bottom of the page.

Real Noob question

I have a MK809II for 5 days now.

I am able to get it to work on my 23" LCD monitor but I have not been able to get a clear screen when I plug the stick to my 46" Plasma or my 32" LED TV. Both are HDTVs.

What am I doing wrong?

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Regards Peru
[Android Stick & Console RockChip based Computers] boyzie:
What do you mean by clear screen?
[Android Stick & Console RockChip based Computers] bperumal2:
Hi, sorry. What I meant was I could only get a very distorted screen, sort of like when you have very poor reception.

I have attached a jpg of my 46" Plasma screen..

Thank you.

Tried changing the resolution through the setting? Might need to change refresh rate too.
[Android Stick & Console RockChip based Computers] blinkone:
Hi there,That looks like its some kind of interference or a faulty stick,but you say it works ok on your 23" (it should be crystal clear)so that points towards the interference side of things have you tried it in other hdmi ports on the tv also try unplugging everything else on the tv thats using an hdmi port as it could be that something else it interfeering with it.
[Android Stick & Console RockChip based Computers] bperumal2:
Yes, I tried a variety of refresh rates and resolution but still the same results.

BlueTooth isn't working here with the new Measy ROM. Everything else is working flawless. Just discovered it when trying to install WiiRemote. I'm unable to turn on BT.

Update: After a reboot BT is working. Hmmm.....strange. I rebooted a couple of times before but not when turning on BT. Just keep it in mind .....if you turn on BT and the switch isn't moving leftwards than tick the selection box and do a reboot.
[Android Stick & Console RockChip based Computers] bperumal2:
Thank you.

I tried removing the second HDMI connection but still the same.

I have also tried 3 other HDMI ports but same results.

I think I will ask for a replacement.

HI All!

One more noob took the plunge, and I got my 809II (original) 2 days ago. Thanks already for the valuable inputs from threaders around, still a few questions remain :

- Am on win8 pro, so would like to know for sure if I can flash this Measy rom as first cust.rom on this stick, as imito_mx1_2_finless_17a or b doesn't allow it, as red in the instructions provided by Bob, but Measy does. (seems there's an updated flashtool vers.)

- from what I understand reading some about this, there's no other way around to re-partition data&system part., except finless rom or hex-editing? ( I saw a tool for this but it seems limited to one phone model?)

- I saw some instructions by Artimis on how to install rooted rom and cwm, just on the stick without using flashtool, wich is some must, but it seems to me that the instructions he gave won't allow me to re-partition original space, thing I want absolutely...

-As for Measy rom, did someone try the 1080p kernel here ""freak-tab.de/finless/measy_u2c_1080_kernel.zip on MK809II, or was it with imito kernel?

Enough said in 1st post, thanks for reading. ;)

I've managed to get the device to install correctly on my work PC, however the Finless ROM Flash Tool says: No Found RKAndroid rock usb

UPDATE: Now when i use adb devices or flashboot devices, they DO show me the device and it is rooted

But neither of the flashing tools is working. [Managed to Manually flash CWM and i'm now backing up my current ROM!]

I will now try to flash the ROM that was recommended and will report back if any success! (strangly though, the device is picking up my work network without issue!!)

Mmm.. still the two apps don't recognize my device, how do i flash that ROM? it doesn't look like CWM compatible, is there any CWM compatible ROM ?

I received a mk809II, i want to try finless but someone knows any procedure to backup current rom (kernel, system, etc) before flashing finless (not sure is my device is a clone).
[Android Stick & Console RockChip based Computers] jetfin:
Root per instructions, flash cwm and backup.
[Android Stick & Console RockChip based Computers] gaga0101:
Im not shure but i think we cannot backup the kernel,to go back on stock rom you can use thishttp://www.mk809.com/cs102II/en/Download.html

Hi all,

i just received my MK809 II, but i had a big problem (IMO :) ).

everytime when i click Play store it will shut itself, its kinda lost of power, when i download and install xbmc, it all went well, but when i click the xbmc, it shut itself again.

So it more like everytime when i open any apps, it will shut itself off, anyone ever had that problem?

all advise and answer is greatly appreciated, thank you
[Android Stick & Console RockChip based Computers] ColinB63:
It could be the power supply, are you using the one supplied and is it 2amp output?
[Android Stick & Console RockChip based Computers] andyken:
Thank you for the reply, yes, I am using 2amp power supply, but I didnt put any other USB except bluetooth keyboard supplied with the stick,

Any advise?
[Android Stick & Console RockChip based Computers] cmgonzalez:
Well i took the risk and install finless 17a, everything is working (wifi-bt), wifi works after a power off (rebooting dont work)

COZYSWAN MK809II says it's a MK806B instead!

Hey everyone,

I bought a MK809II device from dx.com, specifically the "COZYSWAN MK809 II Dual-Core Android 4.1 Google TV Player w/ 8GB ROM / Wi-Fi / Bluetooth - Black" (can't post link).

The item I received is exactly as displayed on the website, with MK809II written on it and on the packaging as well.

However, android system settings report that it is a MK806B instead.

Since i am a regular noob at this, could someone please be so kind to explain what this really means? Am I giving up something? Are there any differences hardware-wise? Any apps that can "disect" it and report what really is inside that thing?

Should I ask dx.com for RMA and to ship the "correct" MK809II?

Last, I ran Antutu benchmark and got a bit more than 6k on it. Is that good or bad for a device like this? CPU is running at 1,2Ghz.

Thanks in advance for the insight!
[Android Stick & Console RockChip based Computers] kyr0x:
I bought the same one, I'm the one who wrote the "most useful" review, and I had no problem, I recomend you to install the iMito MX1/2 - Finless ROM 1.7a, selecting the 2gb app storage and 1080p resolution.

Oh, I found out why the pause button kept popping out when on youtube or gallery fullscreen, it was because of the "force menu button" option on settings (or something like that), so be careful with that.

Also, if using droidmote server, you won't be able to click the "install button" on externals apks (I found that problem with screen filters before), you have to force-close the app before and use a mouse instead.
[Android Stick & Console RockChip based Computers] jetfin:
Sorry if this is a stupid question but I'm a bit confused:

I installed cwm and am now stock rooted - will cwm not back up the kernel properly? I did a backup and there were no errors...

Hey kyr0x, thanks for your input!

Did you notice a performance improvement with the new ROM as well?

I did read your review on dx.com. I am tempted to try it!

You can press on "install button" with arrows in second tab and install with the center button.

If you have problem with the center button with your rom, happen only on new rom of rk3066 devices, you can solve installing this keylayout:

My Cozyswan MK809II is not really a MK809II but who cares?

After feeling a bit naughty during this weekend, I decided to play with my stick (pun intended, hehe).

Anyway, as I have been suspecting, inside the nice MK809II plastic casing, lies a different PCB. As you can see in the photos, the board reads "Netxeon MK806 V30". It is a RK3066 device, with 1GB DDR3 memory (4 x 256MB ELPIDA J2108BDBG-DJ-F chips, which are rated at 1333MHz), 8GB of Hynix NAND flash, a sweet reset switch (with no external access to it, lol) and Mediatek's MT6622N for Bluetooth and MT5931 for WiFi, like iMito MX1/MX2 and UG007.

The reset switch makes it really easy to put it in flash mode: Just press it while plugging the cable into OTG and that's it. Windows recognize the device, rokchip drivers install beautifully and Finless rom tool did the job in 3 minutes. I tried Finless ROM 2.0 BETA but Wifi and BT did not. I am now on NEOTV 1.7 which is based on Finless 1.7 but supposedly optimised for MK802IIIS, which I thought I had. It works nontheless.

What looks really strange is that there is no cable for the wifi. It makes contact directly to the shield(?) which is glued on the case, when the case is closed. Do you guys have any idea about what I could do to strengthen the signal?

Also, I've been reading good things about 2dark4u custom kernels. Are there any of them that support these mediatek chips? I am going to put heatsinks on the CPU and RAM chips so that I can try overclocking.

Video Guide on Flashing ROM to MK809II

Hey all,

I followed a couple of guides/gathered resources and managed to flash my MK809II with the iMito firmware. I made a video tutorial on how to flash your device as I thought it could help new users such as myself. I hope it's useful:

[Android Stick & Console RockChip based Computers] lnerrrka:
Hello, i got my cozych mk809II yesterday and when connected to HD tv I noticed that there is no sound, then flashed Finless 1.7a ROM, but the problem still persists. Could it be that MK809II is faultyor I have to select something? In settings there is only HDMI sound output. HDMI in tv works fine.
[Android Stick & Console RockChip based Computers] Echelonblue:
should work right out of the box. Did you connect the stick in a HDMI port in te television or in some kind of home cinemaset?

are the volumes maxed out?
[Android Stick & Console RockChip based Computers] lnerrrka:
Yes, I tried 3 HDMI ports in TV and set volume to max.
[Android Stick & Console RockChip based Computers] toth42:
Any easy root for this yet? The Manual SDK-way is a bit advanced for me..
[Android Stick & Console RockChip based Computers] kyr0x:
You are one of the few devs on Gplay that take care of your costumers, I already changed the Gplay review and added your info. I recommend installing his app, it works like charm. Maybe adding an option to switch the buttons with the tabs?

It does improve its performance, and 1.7a adds true 1080p resolution and the option to set a bigger partition for apps (2bg is fine for me).

I tried to answer your PM but it didn't send, so I decided to do it here so anyone who encounters any of your problems can solve it by reading this.

Do i need to root the device first? No, finless rom 1.7a comes rooted, (I prefer using SuperSU than the app that comes preinstalled, you can download it from Gplay)

will any of this work on Win 7 64 or Win 8 64? Yes, I've done it using Win8 64bits, and I'm sure it will work with Win7

The best way to flash this rom is by downloading it from http://www.freaktab.com/showthread.php?3931-NEW-iMito-MX1-2-Finless-ROM-1-7 here you'll find a link to the 1.7a package, there you'll find a READMEFIRST.TXT guide, which I recommend you to read before and during the instalation. As usual, every possible error in every possible step ocurred to me (I may have a curse from not sending all those emails), and I managed to overcome them with that guide. When rebooting in flash mode I had to use the "alternate_reboot_to_flash_tool" workaround, so you may need it as well.

I hope this helped a little.

Just install the finless rom, it's easier and better.
[Android Stick & Console RockChip based Computers] marvi0:
Thanks for your post, I gave up installing this on my mk809ii because I kept getting an error, which had to do with the windows 7 drivers. So reading your post it appears you probably had the same errors, and I followed instructions to the later. So if I understand what you meant in your post, did you update your guide, to incorporate the errors please?
[Android Stick & Console RockChip based Computers] diamantius:
Thanks for the reply kyr0x,

Actually, I did some reading in the meantime + removed the plastic cover to take a closer look (see my post with photos on the previous page).

I am running a firmware based on finless 1.7a atm. The only way I could put my device in flash mode though, was by physically pressing the reset button inside it while plugging the usb cable in the OTG port. None of the methods described in the README.TXT would otherwise work.

Anyway, as I wrote in my previous post, the particular cozyswan mk809ii that I got is NOT a MK809ii device. Based on the hardware (Mediatek BT and WiFi chips) it's a UG007/MX1/MX2 clone. That's why BT and WiFi don't work with Finless 1.8 or 2.0.

However, I read on another forum that 2dark4u is now working on high performance kernel for these devices too. So, since I have decided to mod it with coolers and a better power supply, things will get interesting in the near future :)

Unfortunately, I did not make that guide, but if you provide us more information, we'll try to help and find a solution.
[Android Stick & Console RockChip based Computers] marvi0:
I keep getting the above error, which apparently is caused by drivers not being installed properly on windows 7,to allow finless flashtool to work.

For those rooted but haven't or cannot install finless, for whatever reason what's the best method in order to move apps to sd card. I have a 64gig sd card, and tried using some apps in play store with no luck please?
[Android Stick & Console RockChip based Computers] kyr0x:
use the "alternate_reboot_to_flash_tool", following the steps of the guide.
[Android Stick & Console RockChip based Computers] marvi0:
Which guide please?

the READMEFIRST.TXT which comes with the package you download, read previous posts.

New-Measy U2C/B12 Finless Rom 1.7

I agree.

Just got my MK809II the other day and tried the 3 Finless ROMs, Imito Finless 1.7a, 1.7b and this

New-Measy U2C/B12 Finless Rom 1.7 the other day.

Of the 3 ROMs, the NEW-Measy got the highest Antutu score (9383 I think).

Also, WiFi and BT is working fine on all 3 Finless ROMs. (But sometimes you need to reboot in order to make them work.)

For everyone who would like to install one of these ROMs, please take note of the following:

a. Confirm that USB Debugging is unchecked. (To be sure, Turn Off Developer Options as well)

b. You are connected on the micro-USB port on the side and not the micro-USB at the back (beside the Full USB port).

c. If you are coming from Stock ROM or from any other Memory partition and would like to change the memory partition,

click the button beside Boot to Flash mode (Erase NAND as far as I remember) first before flashing the ROM.

d. After flashing the ROM and stuck on boot animation (maybe for around 10-15 mins), do a re-flash.

e. If WiFi and BT don't work at the first boot, do a reboot.

Enjoy your Android miniPC!!!

1.6GHz in Finless 1.7a 1080p

Does anyone know how to clock back up to 1.6ghz in Finless 1.7a 1080p rom? I understand that he clocked it down to 1.2ghz max to prevent burning out the chip if used without heatsink, but I would like to go back up and have the hardware to heatsink and cool the processor.

I posted the question on Freakab, as did others, but never got a response.

Aany help is appreciated.
[Android Stick & Console RockChip based Computers] Echelonblue:
Isn't it just possible to use cpumaster or cputweaker to clock the cpu frequency back to 1.6Ghhz?

Sent from note 2
[Android Stick & Console RockChip based Computers] g.b.a.:
I think it is not supported in the Kernel incorporated in Finless 1.7a Rom. (not sure though)

Why don't you try the kernel made by 2dark4u? I think that is the Kernel that can be adjusted up to 1.6Ghz.

But make sure to have the heat sink and fan though to avoid burning out your device.

Goodluck!
[Android Stick & Console RockChip based Computers] kyr0x:
Can you post a screenshot, in which step are you getting stuck? I had some problems there as well, try enabling and disabling the "usb debugging" and "mass storage" boxes. connect it to the computer from its side and use a diffferent cable, as some people have had some issues with the one that comes with the package, hope this helps
[Android Stick & Console RockChip based Computers] Waljones:
Thanks for your responses and advice.

I tried CPUMaster, and it is set to 1.6ghz as max, but there is no change. I also tried changing the min to 1.6 also and it just pegs the cpu at 1.2ghz constant.

I had thought of using the 2dark4u kernel, but I understand the wifi is nonfunctional. I have a usb to ethernet adapter, but internet speed test on this is 2Mbit/s verses the 25Mbit/s on wifi. I stream lots of movies and TV shows from the net as I am a north American living in South America and not very fond of latino soap operas. These streams seem to suffer at the lower speed, so I am very hesitant to try it.

I was hoping that some of the expert programmers on this site would know a way to edit the governor that was put in place by Finless in the rom. I am rather new to Android and a rather novice programmer as well, so am unsure where to start looking for the code. Aside from the governor on the CPU, I am very happy with the Finless kernel. It seems fairly stable on my device and works well. It can slow down and hang for a second or two when doing more than one task, thus the reason I wanted to try clocking back up to see if this improved.

Maybe I should leave "well enough" alone. :)
[Android Stick & Console RockChip based Computers] ColinB63:
Finless rom is locked at 1.2ghz, so can't be overclocked.

2dark4u announced this week that he is working on a rom for UG007/Imito MX1, so should work for MK809 II (same wifi chip).

Be aware that if you ever do overclock it, you will need to add a heatsink to the cpu and preferably a fan.

Mine has a heatsink on already for when I can overclock.
