Must be an idiot. I can't get the card to flash without an error writing after it says 100. If I try it the box boots into recovery but nothing flashes to the box.. I've tried 2 different sd cards
[General Questions and Answers] BenniBenassi:
Your box is not the correct hardware for this ROM.

It is not for other hardware than mentioned in my OP.
[General Questions and Answers] 6hzzz:
It can work in the G02REF(1gb / 4gb dual core)?

[General Questions and Answers] BenniBenassi:
I have no idea but I think NOT.
[General Questions and Answers] no_spam_for_me:
For those who are interested in

The package offer by BenniBenassi is a merge of

1. the MIDNIGHT-RECOVERY-SD-CARD found here at the Matricom-web-side

2. an actual full (Manually Updating Firmware) "Matricom G-Box Midnight MX2 Firmware" you can found here (in his case the 1.1.5)

A little view behind the "secrets"

Hidden trash on the SD generated by MAC OS X (I think not really need ;) ):

.fseventsd

.Spotlight-V100

.Trashes

._.Trashes

"Trash" on the SD generated by Android (I think not really need too ;) ):

.LOST.DIR

Important SD files:

factory_update_param.aml

uboot-wyst-a11.bin

uImage_recovery

SD Version "factory_update_param.aml"

--set_efuse_version="version=1,mach_id=0xb8e"
--set_efuse_ethernet_mac
--wipe_data
--wipe_cache
--wipe_media
--update_package=/sdcard/UWS102912pusa_121122gbox_ext.zip
--wipe_data
--wipe_cache
--wipe_media

wipe =>

Erasing data...

The Android operating system partitions the internal storage of your device into different sections, including sections for userdata (--wipe_data) and cache (--wipe_cache).

Cache is for data of frequently-accessed apps.

Media (wipe_media)??? perhaps "/system/media/"...

--update_package=root: path =>

root means in this case "/sdcard"

path means FULL name of the package in this case "/UWS102912pusa_121122gbox_ext.zip"

If you want to

merge the SD version with an actual full MX2 firmware

, you have to copy all files of the archive into the SD-Card, perhaps without the new "factory_update_param.aml".

In the case of 1.1.5 are these:

mx2update.zip

recovery.img

The new "factory_update_param.aml" in the archive:

--update_package=/sdcard/mx2update.zip
--wipe_cache

The "factory_update_param.aml" at the solution of BenniBenassi:

--set_efuse_version="version=1,mach_id=0xb8e"
--set_efuse_ethernet_mac
--wipe_data
--wipe_cache
--wipe_media
--update_package=/sdcard/mx2update.zip

So, I think, it would be enough to edit the original SD Version "factory_update_param.aml" like this (but not sure because the wipes after the update_package):

--set_efuse_version="version=1,mach_id=0xb8e"
--set_efuse_ethernet_mac
--wipe_data
--wipe_cache
--wipe_media
--update_package=/sdcard/mx2update.zip
--wipe_data
--wipe_cache
--wipe_media

I think so too, the "UWS102912pusa_121122gbox_ext.zip" isn't need any longer on the SD-Card...

I flashed my MX box with this file but its locking up and freezing so I even loaded it back to original same issues I pulled the box apart and took thjis picture and compared to the pic you uploaded it looks like my WIFI is soldered wrong but my WIFI seems to be working can anyone help me thanks
[General Questions and Answers] dardack:
Just wanted to say thanks. Was having issues with my generic MX box, and really enjoying 1.1.6 of Gbox midnight mx2 so far after using yours to make mine seem like it's legit. Much appreciation.
[General Questions and Answers] newdroidplayer:
System Folders are Read Only

Thanks so much for posting the procedure for flashing the ROM. I did exactly the steps you listed and it worked perfectly!

I'm a newbie and now I need help to get the touchscreen working on the MX box. My problem is when I tried to copy the touchscreen configuration file into the /system/usr/idc folder it wouldn't let me, I kept getting a "Read-only file system" error message. Is there a way to change the folder settings for writing? I tried chmod and umount/mount and remount but could not get them to change. Maybe some settings need to be changed before installing the Matricom image?

Any suggestions would be much appreciated!
[General Questions and Answers] dardack:
Download ES File explorer, under tools is option to mount /system R/W instead of Read. Then you can remove unwanted Sys apps also (like Gmail, I don't need gmail popping up on my TV telling me I got new mail, my phone is for that, plus some others I removed).

Make sure you have SuperSU or another superuser app to grant ES File Explorer Root to enable R/W.
[General Questions and Answers] newdroidplayer:
Thanks for the suggestion dardack, I installed ES File Explorer, a nice, useful app to have. However, I still can't write to the /system/usr/idc folder. I gave it superuser root and tried to change the permissions but it always gave me "Sorry, operation failed". The current folder permission is rwx r-x r-x, which I'm not able to change. Folder properties: Owner is root, Group is also root, maybe that's the problem. I tried changing Group to something else but it always gave me the error "Sorry, operation failed". I rebooted the machine and tried it again but same problem.

I also tried it again in terminal emulation but still would not allow me to write to /system/usr/idc/ folder.

Any more suggestions, please? Maybe I need to reinstall the underlying ubuntu to change those folder permission settings? I'm a newbie, I don't know how complicated that would be or if that's even possible.
[General Questions and Answers] dardack:
I'm sorry I installed 1.1.5 from this thread to make my clone look like a Gbox mx2. I then let it OTA update to 1.1.6. I then installed ES File Explorer, went into options and changed /system to read/write. It let me.

Sorry I don't know what else you can do.
[General Questions and Answers] BenniBenassi:
Since you have cropped out the board hardware version that is need to identify the board and reply to your question, I will do the same and crop out my reply below the line..

********************************************************************************

---------- Post added at 12:34 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:29 PM ----------

I personally do not recomment the 1.1.6 version, since it is buggy and Youtube does not work as it should work and all of these strange errors happen....

There are no clones or the one and original G-Box. This is just BS talk from G-Box marketing team. All of the boards come from same factory, the exact same assembly line. One gets G-Box MX2 ROM and a different sticker and thats it.

My sd card recovery gives you the opportunity to use the g-box rom.

And I tried the 1.1.6 version, but it is very buggy and it has issues. Be careful with updating to 1.1.6
[General Questions and Answers] dardack:
I personally love 1.1.6. It has resolved all my issues I was having.
[General Questions and Answers] BenniBenassi:
What issues did it solve?

For me it

created

these issues:

Youtube playback issues (stutters, slow playback)

Youtube video resizing issues (can only see part of the video, upper left part to be exact)

XBMC needed to be updated, since old version did not work

Boot issues (boot logo was on top left corner)

Many FC-s

+ other
[General Questions and Answers] dardack:
Well xbmc in pre had discoloration and would freeze frame a bunch.

I let it OTA update after using your 1.1.5. Then I had read you needed new xbmc for 6 so I got that before even trying xbmc. Didn't import any backups settings as I heard that could create issues. Now xbmx is almost flawless.

I use you tube out of xbmc not standalone and it works perfect. The boot logo has always been fine. Not one FC on any program I've tried.
[General Questions and Answers] piperider:
No offence but I didn't crop anything out im not hiding anything so that was kind off a **** comment ask me first please don't just assume things.As for the 1.1.6 file I never had an issue with it on my other boxes but this one box I did.Anyway in the end after trying several files I found out the box had an issue and returned it
[General Questions and Answers] newdroidplayer:
Thanks for the reply dardack. I couldn't copy the touchscreen idc file to the idc folder so I bought a genuine unit (the real Matricom G-Box MX2) as I really needed to get the touchscreen working, and I was able to copy the idc file into the idc folder after changing its permissions. The problem now is the touchscreen doesn't work. I did a "lsusb" to confirm that the unit recognized my Acer T230H ("ID 408:3000") and it was there, but when I touch the screen nothing happens.

The file I copied into /system/usr/idc/ folder is named "Vendor_0408_Product_3000.idc and has the following content:

touch.deviceType=touchScreen

device.internal=1

with a blank 3rd line.

Does anybody have a clue what the problem might be or maybe for a way of checking if touch is being received by the system?
[General Questions and Answers] dardack:
2 things. 1. Are you looking to sell your clone? If so pm me.

2. For touch screen since you have genuine I would contact matricom direct. Or search their forums to see if any one else has had this issue. Just matricom.com/forum
[General Questions and Answers] newdroidplayer:
Thanks for the suggestion. I sent Matricom an email and am still waiting for a response. I asked my boss if he wanted to sell the clone but he said no. Sorry.
[General Questions and Answers] Ronald McDonald:
So what exactly is the difference between the ROM by Matricom and the ROM that is pre-loaded on these supposed "clones"? Is the the ability for OTA updating?? Are there other features that make the Matricrom ROM superior?
[General Questions and Answers] pinktheater:
The process is really simple, but what can I do if the box don't get into recovery mode?

I power it off, insert the SD card, put the toothpick in the AV, connect the power but the MX2 never goes into recovery.

Is it all hope lost?

It does not work, nothing happens when holding reset with inserted memory card and pluggin power cable.

I am using droid tv mx:(
[General Questions and Answers] BenniBenassi:
Then you are doing something wrong.

It works when done the right way.

Read my instructions and do exactly as they say.

If you want my help, then describe exactly what you did, EXACTLY (LIKE.... EXACTLY)

Example how I want the answer:

1) Downloaded the rar file

2) Extracted the rar file

3) Burned the extracted .imgc file with the HDD raw writer to the SD card

4) etc etc ...

If you write "I did everything as you said" or "i just dunno" then its game over from my side, I will not bother to reply.
[General Questions and Answers] z.zishan@gmail.com:
So, what i did was,

1) Downloaded the rar file

2) Extracted the rar file

3) Burned the extracted .img file with the HDD raw writer to the SD card 32GB

4) Once it burnt image on SD card, safely removed SD card

5) Plugged in the SD card in mx android tv

6) Plugged HDMI cable

7) Held reset button through the AV outlet using a toothpick.

8) While holding reset button, plugged in the power cable.

9) And waited, waited, waited, no change, nothing on the screen.

There is a red light that always comes on as soon I plug in the power cable step 8, therefore, my last post stated that there is nothing changing.

Previously, I was using a source (home theater) to connect mx android tv. Once it has stopped working, I tried these steps with source and also directly connected with TV.

Please do let me know if i did something wrong here.:rolleyes:

Thanks
[General Questions and Answers] pinktheater:
Same thing is happening to me but i did something different lately.

On step 8 hold the button for 1 minute, then release and leave it doing the job.

After 15 minutes or so go check the screen. I am now seeing the android thingy doing something but it's been there for about 30 minutes.

I assume it's flashing but i can't confirm it. I'll leave it there to see what happens.
[General Questions and Answers] BenniBenassi:
The mistake is in step 6

You are supposed to remove and plug in THE POWER CABLE

Don't touch the HDMI, leave it connected the whole time.
[General Questions and Answers] pinktheater:
I don't get it.

Your steps on the OP says that you need to have the box turned off, plug the SD card, then put the toothpick in the AV and plug the power back.

At what point will you connect, disconnect, connect the power?

I'm able to get something on the screen but is this:

I left it there like for 2 hours, but nothing happened.
[General Questions and Answers] BenniBenassi:
Strange. Are you sure you have the same version of the box? Only 1 way to make sure, open up the box and take a picture and post here.

ANSWER: You pull the plug ater the install process is finished and you receive 2 errors. This occurs when you have returned to the Android Recovery screen. There is a menu ....
[General Questions and Answers] pinktheater:
Got it! Well i'm going to try one last resort. Someone posted me a boot recovery procedure to turn the box back to life too.

I don't know what else to do. I get to the point where it starts flashing, but then nothing else happens. It shouldn't make a difference if I use an SD or a micro SD with an SD adapter, does it?

Hi Benni,

Would you have an alternative link for the August firmware, the MEGA link keeps failing for me. Have tried multiple browsers, computers etc. Or can I just use the one off the gbox site? I have a clone box

Cheers
[General Questions and Answers] BenniBenassi:
I do not have an alternate link. I'd have to upload to Mediafire. I will do when have time, cannot give any schedule for this.

gbox site does not have this sdcard link available. This is made by me.

You may have managed to brick your box.

It saddens me when people are doing things they should not do.

If you have no idea what you are doing then please do not.

What happened, is that you did THIS THING to your nice MX box.

[General Questions and Answers] Russell_S:
When I 'updated' my box with the 1.1.5 firmware SD card image it appeared to stop about 1/4 way through as you said but just at the point I was thinking of giving up and pulling the power it suddenly jumped up to 3/4 and then completed. So I would suggest leave it running for 15 minutes or so. Go and make a cup of tea/coffee and by the time you get back it will probably have finished.

Mx Box Flash Loop?

Hi Benni,

I wonder if you can assist me please. I have a mx box (hd 18 v2.22) here that my dad managed to brick(no idea how). It sits with blue led on and no signal on screen(HDMI or AV). I followed your great guide(pretty sure to the letter) using 8Gb card. I get the recovery/loading screen. then at the end I get the 2 x fails, however on removing power lead and replacing it it just starts to do the same process over and over? I also notice it failed to wipe the data and cache, as well as the 2 fails :-

Program version......

Efuse_write offset=3 data_len=1 , error Efuse data version write size wrong. Failed to write version.

Program mac........

Finding Mac.... , Failed to write mac.

Is this what you would expect? Or has something else gone wrong? I have also noticed that to boot the card I don't need to hold the hidden av button I just need to put the power cable in with card in for it to start flash. I also tried removing the card when powered down to see if it would boot but just the same no signal without the card. The switch makes the clicking noise so sounds ok...should really have buzzed it to check it when I had the board open to check version in case its faulty. Will try this if you don't already have some ideas what the prob is.

Do you know or can you think of anything that will help/sort it? :eek::rolleyes::eek:
