HI guys,

I am one of those whos is confused with which android mini pc to buy with so many variants in the market. I have finally zeroed in on Tronsofts CX-919 Quad Core TV BOX and MK908II Quad Core. Both looks the exact same in specs. would like to know which is better w.r.t ROM upgrades and plays 1080p. Any help would be really appereciated. Thanks in advance.

Right... I cannot for the life of me get Windows 8.1 (64bit) to recognize my MK809II (the motherboard actually says MK806 V30) when it's in Flash Mode. I used the Hard Reset method, used all the drivers on every forum I could find but I always get:

'The folder you specified doesn't contain a compatible software driver for your device. If the folder contains a driver, make sure it is designed for with windows for x64-based systems.'

All I want to do is install Android 4.2 on it to use Miracast. Does anybody know how to fix this or have the right drivers? I looked for MK806 ones but no luck so far.

EDIT: Finally managed to flash a 4.2.2 ROM with the WiFiDisplay app but more research revealed that Windows 8.1 can't actually use Miracast through this app. Ridiculously confusing... If anybody manages to mirror their PC screen on Android 4.2.2 please let me know.

Windows 8 is really funky with unofficial drivers. You have to disable the driver verification during a reboot. Google search the exact steps. Once you disable this you can install the driver and make it work.

Windows 8 sucks.
[Android Stick & Console RockChip based Computers] eilz:
My understanding was that wifidisplay only supports Miracast and Windows uses Widi so this would never work

What u need is a ptv3000 which does both and forget the mk. Even miravast on mk device is not very good

please help, i think i killed it

I have had an mk809ii for several months now and had the stock rom on it, was using it for xbmc but found that the hw support even on the tweaked gothem builds was lousy so i thought i would try to flash finless 1.7a that people seemed to be raving about.

i downloaded all the packs required to do this and followed the instructions.

computer found the device and installed drivers

got it into flash mode and installed drivers

rebooted computer and got back into flash mode all fine

clicked flash

the program sent all the info to the device fine

on the tv it showed formatting the three things (cont remember exact text)

then said rebooting

great i thought that was easy

then i waited

nothing

then i took the power out

nothing

then i rebooted computer

nothing

tried pressing reset button on mk809ii

nothing

basically i have no signal to the tv and i cant get the computer to find the device.

im running windows 7 and have mk809ii

is there a way to force it back to flash mode or is it a total lost cause. i loved this little box but just wanted to get it to play movies smoothly.

would really appreciate some advice as id preffer not to have to buy a new one.

if that is the case though can you recommend a better bow that is small and runs hd smooth as butter

thankyou in advance

MK908 II - Issue with screen flickering

Hi,

I just bought my first android stick i.e mk908 ii. But when I connect it to my TV (LG) it boots fine but after a few seconds on home screen the HDMI output (both audio and video) shuts down for a couple of seconds and then it comes back automatically. It happens irregularly and upto 4-5 times a minute. I’ve replaced every cable and yet it keeps on flickering. Bought it from Geekbuing. Any idea, thoughts? I did try the stick with another TV (samsung) and its the same result with it as well. I also tried connecting power USD directly to a USB source (1A , 1.5A, 2A) and also via the power adapter that came with it. Again no change.

Thanks a bunch.

CWM image error on mk908ii

Hello, I've done really bad thing, and overwrite my stock recovery, and now i have not recovery mode. it's soo bad to me. If U guys can provide me working recovery.img and instruction to flash it back on my mk908ii , it would be great. I have 4.2.2 Android, provided oryginally with that tronsmart mk908ii.

How can I change the apps on the homescreen? I'm using a mouse and keyboard.. I can't hold and press the icons so I can move them...
[Android Stick & Console RockChip based Computers] milo24com:
Explanation

You can't with stock firmware change that icons. Unfortunately. That is because tronsmart make their own launcher, and it is static.

There are few other roms for that device, but for me, any of its roms isn't good enough to have it for longer time.

Anyway, for mine upper post about recovery image. I did it by my own. I handle it. :) On win8.1 there is problem with drivers and system comaptibility. On win7 it works great, and I can reflash device, so recovery.img too.

best regards 4 U all.

Bluetooth is bad,and I do have clockworkmod recovery installed, there are few roms that work for it and those roms I find Wi-Fi didn't work! a lot of these tv sticks are a pain, and few developers working on them,its best to do some research and hack your own Rom that came with your device, but remember to do a backup in recovery if it goes wrong!

Hi all.

Got mine mk809-2 today. At the begining it couldn't connect to wifi. Then i changed router channel from 1 to 6 and it connected.

But it was so sooo slow......0.2 down

Then i replaced power adaptor and cable - i got 0.6

Then i googled and found video on youtube to play with antena - i took it out and got ~ 1mbit.

Is there some workaround for better speed? Router is quite far, but all laptops conects without problems and also handsets.
[Android Stick & Console RockChip based Computers] dzincha:
Found one antena from dir-320. On mk809-2 middle wire was on shortcut with shield-ground. Searching google found, that it is not good and disconnected everything and soldered only middle one and the same on antena side.

Instead of 1mbit max i got 3mbit now. My line is 10mbit max, but 3 is ok. One old ibm also can't get more than 4-5. Fujitsu can get 10mbit.

Some sw upgrade would increase wifi speed?

Hi,

Here one who can't activate wifi in flashed roms. I tried finless 2.0, stock 4.1.1 and a similar stock 4.2.2, and no wifi in all. Do you actually have wifi? What rom? Link please? I didn't make a image backup so...

Also, you or anyone with mk809ii with any 4.2.2 rom could help me if you send me all the files inside the /system/etc/wifi directory (wifi drivers for our wifi chip). I am 90% sure all roms i tried have different wifi drivers and i can't find the correct rom+wifi drivers combination. I would try to install those files into my actual finless 2.0 system dir or any other rom i had tested. If it works you also could fix your wifi with any compatible rom you like...

root without micro-usb port side

Hello,

I recently bought a MK809II, but the micro-USB port side was very weak and when I plugged something, it broke.

I was in a shop repairing equipment and welded the port, however, although the device connect, the computer says “Unknown USB Device” and “device malfunction…”.

I wanted your help, was whether is there any other way to make a root without being necessary to connect the micro-USB port side (the OTG is power only and does not transfer data).

I needed to make the root to the equipment, but I've done several searches and can't find a way, without using this micro-USB port.

Someone can help me, please?

No Ethernet settings!

Hi Guys, I am new to the forum, so if this is in the wrong place please excuse me. Iwonder if anybody could help. I've had an MK809II for about 18 months, but rarely used it due to the streaming issues. Well today I bought an ethernet cable and a Micro USB to Ethernet adaptor and connected the ethernet to the MK809. I turned the wifi off and the ethernet on. The problem is that the MK809 is not picking up any of the ethernet settings. So the IP address, gateway and dns settings are all at zero! I've reset the router and restarted the box, but nothing. I thought that I was finally going to get some use out of my toy, but it doesn't seem to be meant. Any advice would be greatly welcomed.

[Android Stick & Console RockChip based Computers] J_B204:
I have to say that the weakest link there is definitely the 3mbit/s fritzbox usb. I just searched for typical bitrates for mkv hd files and the average for a 720p video seems to come out between 3-4 mbits /s.

What bitrate did you encode the videos at?

For instance the BBC iPlayer encodes its HD streams at 3.2mbps and that is only at 720p.

Unless you are going to buffer a huge amount of the movie you are always going to get some sort of stuttering. I'm guessing you'd somehow have to buffer to the internal or external SD card as there is nowhere near enough RAM.

MK809 results with finless 1.5 (not MK809II)

Tried the Finless 1.5 Imito ROM on my MK809 (not MK809II). Booted fine but no wifi even after several reboots. Must be a different wifi module? Back to stock without issue.

Definitely benefits to having gone through this though:

Reformatted system partition to 1GB (MK809 only has 4GB in total, not 8 like MK809II). Selected this in the finless utility. Be careful, changing the parameter file during flash formats your internal SD too.

Seem to have the benefits of the finless 1080p kernel surviving revert to stock: changing output mode actually does something now, as does display scaling. Still getting 1080p resolution, definitely not before.

Wondering if the xbox controller elements have survived, yet to test this.

Hope this helps anyone thinking of flashing finless on an MK809.

1 usb->micro usb adapter

1 usb->micro usb cable

1 hdmi extension cable

to power it up I need a usb-usb cable, that was missing. I used one I had but it does not work.

You need a AC Power. There must be in the package
[Android Stick & Console RockChip based Computers] SoulReaver75:
sorry, the 220C->usb that I wrote, is the AC adapter. But there was no usb-usb cable to connect it to the MK809 (I should use the full size usb port, right?).

then, the ac adapter has 1A output, from what I read around the MK809 should need 2A ac adapter.

What about yours?
