Sounds like maybe a problem with your phone.....I've used rkremote with stock, finless, and kirkout(which is what im currently using).

Are you able to boot into recovery by holding down the rest pin while powering up?
[Android Stick & Console RockChip based Computers] explodo:
I did not back up my original ROM. As I had no HDMI signal from the device I resorted to OTG Flashing. I tried to install Finless 1.2b using the Finless ROM flash tool (RKAndriodTool v1.35). I no longer got "No signal" message but just a black screen at booting, the same happened when I tried to boot into recovery. I tried both 720 and 1080 versions.

I did not dare to test with Kirk out from OTG as he clearly says that it is only for CWM.

I then tried to reinstall CWM-based Recovery with RKAndriodTool following the instructions on androtab. Still just got black screen when trying to boot into recovery.

I flashed one more time with RKAndriodTool using Finless 1.2b 720 with airpin. When I booted into recovery I noticed some white pixels flashing on the screen that I had not seen before. I left the device running and after a long time the Finless start image (Black droid) apeared but nothing more happened.

I Rebooted 2 times and finally now I'm up and running Finless. Im not shure if everythin is ok yet, I think everything seems a bit slow but I guess I will have to run it a bit to know for shure.

I'm glad that Minix has made such a sturdy device. I guess a lot of other devices would have been bricked by now with all the messing about I've been doing.
[Android Stick & Console RockChip based Computers] tweetycontrabajo:
i was only able to use rk when i updated the minix firmware.

well, i'll give a try to finless. if remote don't work, i'll go back to minix firmware.

thank you
[Android Stick & Console RockChip based Computers] Artimis:
A note on the RKRemote app, I believe WiFi on the X5 has to be enabled even if the device is connected via ethernet. I am pretty sure I read that somewhere.....can't test myself since I only have my device connected via WiFi (no LAN port in the room I have it in).
[Android Stick & Console RockChip based Computers] tweetycontrabajo:
yes, the device has to be connected to the same wifi network that the mobile with rk remote
[Android Stick & Console RockChip based Computers] wellersl:
ROM pros and cons?

I have no idea where to ask this, but since both ROMs are mentioned here, can anyone point me to a comparison between the Finless and the KIRk Out!!! ROMs?

Anyone have experience with both, and chose one over the other, and care to tell me why you did? If it came down to personal preference, I understand and can accept that.

My X5 is sitting on my doorstep... and I'm chompin' at the bit!

EDIT: Lest I forget, THANKS Artimis!!!

Signature verification failed

Hi Guys,

I've tried to follow your instructions, but there is one problem.

When I install the finless rom, the installation stops at about 20% and says that signature verification failed.

When I click on "install untrusted zip" the installtion is aborted anyway.

Do you have any idea, how to solve this?
[Android Stick & Console RockChip based Computers] Artimis:
Sounds like you have a bad ROM download. Suggest redownloading the ROM and checking to see if the MD5 matches.

I think there is a way to permenantly turn off signature verification in CWM under one of the menus (maybe advanced)?
[Android Stick & Console RockChip based Computers] spyder_1:
The checksum was fine. Also the Kirk rom doesn't really work. I managed to install it, when I've deactivated the verification (finless didn't even work then), but the GUI always crashes.

Maybe I will try tomorrow with a different CWM version...
[Android Stick & Console RockChip based Computers] spyder_1:
Signature verification failed

Okay, different CWM version didn't work either.

What I've noticed is that the path of my internal sdcard is /mnt/sdcard instead of /sdcard.

I've read online that that is maybe causing the problem, but I've no solution.

Any ideas?
[Android Stick & Console RockChip based Computers] Artimis:
/mnt/sdcard is the full path and is correct . I believe /sdcard is just a symlink.

Where are you getting your CWM from? Is it a generic RK3066 version or the one specific to the X5? Also are you sure you are getting the correct ROM for the X5 and not for the MK808 etc?
[Android Stick & Console RockChip based Computers] Slomodrop:

[Android Stick & Console RockChip based Computers] spyder_1:
I am sure, that I am using the correct rom. It's a specific one for X5.

I got the ROM from the site of the first post.

Don't know what else I can try... Is there an img I can flash with RKTool?
[Android Stick & Console RockChip based Computers] renmo:
same problem as spider here , anybody solution

update : installed kirk-out , verifying had the same problem (got stuck again at 20%) but choosing untrusted zip , it installed and is running smooth.
[Android Stick & Console RockChip based Computers] JonnyFive:
Can I skip steps 6 and 7 if I want to use the stock ROM?
[Android Stick & Console RockChip based Computers] Artimis:
Yes, you will have a custom recovery installed at this point but you will not be rooted. You will need to use an alternate method to acheive root. The ROMs I mentioned come pre-rooted.
[Android Stick & Console RockChip based Computers] Pitbull_Raven:
So I'm sticking a paper clip down the back of the recovery hole, and I feel the switch being pressed. After that, still pressing the recovery switch, I plug in my power cord. Nothing happens.

Second attempt, pressing the recovery switch, already plugged in, and pressing the power on button. Also nada!

So just how do I get back in recovery without having to use update.zip every time. And why can't I flash finless? Always says it's stating to flash but then instantly stops, before doing anything. No errors too.

And finally, has someome managed to get XBMC to playback without lag and choppy video? And don't say "use xaf" because that takes away almost all of xbmc's video funcionality and goodies, like subtitle downloading and stuff. I have heard that quite often the last few days.

Right now, I can't even get the damn thing rooted and am starting to rue having bought the X5. I had read up on it and watched some review videos, but boy was I badly hoodwinked!
[Android Stick & Console RockChip based Computers] Franklee99:
Hi guys,

I've either missed something important (entirely possible), or, there's something funny going on with my minix X5. I flashed "update.zip", it rebooted to CWM recovery, but I couldn't get it to respond to any input. Nothing on either of my remotes was working. I ended up unplugging and replugging to get it to boot again...

Any thoughts?

Cheers.

UPDATE: Okay, plugged in a usb mouse and that sorta works.. However, I've tried to backup to both internal storage and SD card, and it just keeps freezing at certain points.. WTF is going on?

Twice now stuck on "backing up system" then under that says procrank??

Cheers.
[Android Stick & Console RockChip based Computers] Artimis:
I don't know if the IR remote works in CWM -- I don't think it does. Did you try plugging a mouse or keyboard into the USB port? I know a USB keyboard works for sure.
[Android Stick & Console RockChip based Computers] itube:
Just got one from ebay, I'll give a try. Thanks OP!
[Android Stick & Console RockChip based Computers] Franklee99:
I've got both a USB keyboard and mouse working now. However, the thing just keeps freezing while in recovery.

I've got a complete back up, I believe. Don't think it's related to a specific partition. It doesn't seem to matter what I'm doing, e.g. back up, restore, flash from card etc etc. It just freezes up. 2-3 times it's rebooted itself back to recovery, but usually I have to pull the power...

Any bloody ideas as to what's up? I've tried both 6.0.2.1 and 6.0.2.8 cwm, same result....

Cheers

X5 mini CWM

I had read that I could use the X5 CWM for the X5 mini, but in the end the X5 CWM keeps freezing. I found the cwm.img for X5 mini, but I can seem to be able to modify the original update.zip to use this new image. I made sure to fix the sha1, but I keep getting that it is not a valid update script. Could someone point me to directions on how to do this or an update.zip that is working for the X5 mini?

EDIT: Got things to work using ADB. Had to change the adb_usb.ini and then run adb as root on a linux machine. Not sure why but couldn't get it to work in OS X.
[Android Stick & Console RockChip based Computers] Sojourner353:
Hi all, sorry to bump an old thread but wondering if anyone has had the same issue I am having with the Minix IR Remote after flashing Finless 1.2b? Put simply mine no longer works at all and I have to use a USB Keyboard and Mouse to interact with the Minix now, any ideas would be much appreciated, thanks.
[Android Stick & Console RockChip based Computers] lufasponge:
Anyone know if this works on the NEO G4 too?
[Android Stick & Console RockChip based Computers] Artimis:
If there is a already a pre-rooted ROM out for the G4 then the same approach should work. In general, the approach will work for just about any device.

I don't think Finless ever officially supported a G4 ROM but I have heard people have ported his work. There may be other devs that cranked out ROMs but since I don't have that device, I haven't been following.
[Android Stick & Console RockChip based Computers] haimmalka:
minix x5 I can not install kernel Why?
[Android Stick & Console RockChip based Computers] Artimis:
It looks like you are using the stock recovery to try and update the kernel. This won't work. You need to installed Clockwork recovery first. Once you have Clockwork recovery working, you will be able to install a custom kernel.

installing rom

hi all

sorry if this is a noob question.

i can boot into CWM fine. But when I try to install the rom from the sdcard, it just doesnt work.

i turn signature verification off, choose finless rom from the list, it says 'installing update...' but then i can just navigate the menus again, i leave it and nothing is happening?

Can anyone help me? :D
[Android Stick & Console RockChip based Computers] Pitbull_Raven:
I am sure I ran into this problem myself but I swear to God I can't remember how I fixed it. From what I do remember, I ended up installing the ROM via notebook, OTG cable and the ROM installer that I think is available from the minix page.
[Android Stick & Console RockChip based Computers] Artimis:
Have you checked the MD5 on the ROM download to ensure it wasn't a bad download?
[Android Stick & Console RockChip based Computers] longNZ:
??

How do I do that?
[Android Stick & Console RockChip based Computers] Artimis:
I just realized that Finless doesn't post the MD5's for his roms so nevermind -- you don't have anything to compare to.

Ok, another question, did you download one of the 1.2 roms via one of the links I posted in the first post of this thread? Or did you try downloading his new 1.3 rom from his thread on freaktab?

His new 1.3 ROM (from his thread) is not compatible with CWM. It can be turned into a flashable zip fairly easily if you know what you are doing....usually there are people on the freaktab forums that do this.

Edit: here is the link for the CWM flashable 1.3ROM -- http://www.freak-tab.de/petrus/neo_x5_finless_13_cwm.zip

X5 will only boot to CWM

So I followed the directions here perfectly. But now my X5 will only boot to CWM. I've tried flashing multiple ROM's including a flashable build of the Minix firmware and I get the same thing every time. I boot into CWM. I've tried the RK tool but cannot get my windows 8 or windows 7 machine to recognize the device because of some issue with the drivers. Can anyone make a recommendation? I've searched the web for weeks trying to find an answer. Thanks in advance.
[Android Stick & Console RockChip based Computers] Artimis:
Not sure if it will work but since you already can get into CWM, try:

1) flashing CWM again: http://files.androtab.info/rockchip/rk3066/20130427/NEOX5_CWM.zip

2) Go to advanced -> reboot recovery

3) Flash the ROM again

4) Clear cache and dalvik

5) Reboot (regularly.... not through the advanced menu)

Also, make sure you are using a CWM compatible ROM.

SD card

Hi

I want to flash the Finless rom and I need a fat32 formatted sd card. So I have a micro SD card putted in a micro SD card adapter. But my minix won't read it. In my computer no problem to read but yeah my minix doesn't. Is It cause of the adapter? Should I buy an SD card that doesn't need an adapter to fit the minix? Is it so that I should see the SD card as an external SD card in a file Explorer on my minix? Can I flash the rom with a formatted USB stick? Of must be an SD card? Thanks
[Android Stick & Console RockChip based Computers] Artimis:
It's been a long time since I've even booted up my Minix so my memory is a little shaky but I don't believe you need any type of extenal storage.

You should be able to load the ROM onto internal storage and flash it from there.

Most Android devices refer to the internal storage as /sdcard and extenal store is usually defined as something else (/extSdCard, /external_SD, etc. depending on device). Perhaps this is what is throwing you off?

A formatted USB stick or an SD card (either full or micro in an Adapter) should work assuming 1) CWM supports it and 2) the storage is mounted prior to trying to access it. However, I don't believe it is necessary.
[Android Stick & Console RockChip based Computers] liobeir:
Thanks I flashed the rom with my SD card adapter. I putted the SD card up side down... :s haha. But thanks for the reply!

hey hey

you have to go into the fastbootmode. Load Oampboot(the newest version)

plug your battery out of your phone. Connect it via USB install oampdriver.

so now choose your Phone, if the tool starts write any data to your phone, do nothing. Your phone will be run into the S/W Mode. So you can insert your battery and run your Flashtool to flash your KDZ Bin FLS or anything else

good luck

Any suggestions? I am on liquid smooth.

All of a sudden my MDA II just stopped syncing via BT :cry: Everything was fine and yesterdey when I tried to sync it, it said: "Cannot start communication with the desktop computer. The communications port is not available. Another program may be using the port, or it may not be valid."

As far as I can see no other programs are active. Soft reset doesn't help. Apart from syncing, BT seems to work fine (for example, it sees other BT devices without problems). Do you guys have any ideas? I'd like to try some other options before making a hard reset.

Tnx...

[MDA II, XDA II, 2060 General] cruisin-thru:
Check the serial port profile on your bluetooth deskyop, see which com port it is allocating, then check that the desktop activesync is set to the same port. The other way is to remove the bonding on your xda and then rebond, that might work also. I also found that putting the usb lead in to the xda letting it sync that way also seems to help sometimes, the bluetooth seems to lose its way at times.
[MDA II, XDA II, 2060 General] Zeljac:
Yeah, I tried both things that You've suggested and it still doesn't work. I think I'll have to perform a hard reset and see if that helps. Anyway, tnx for your reply.

[Transformer TF300T Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TDMVP73:
Hey guys,

I'm having a problem turning Bluetooth on on my TF300. I am on the latest stock Asus JB 4.2.1 build on my device, with root access. My device is working fine with WiFi, but when I go to the top right hand corner and try to turn on Bluetooth, it won't work. I try to pull the bar from off to on in the settings and goes immediately back to off.

I wasn't having any issues with Bluetooth before, but to be honest I probably haven't tried it since this latest update.

I want to retain root access, as I'm not sure there's a way to get it back without unlocking the bootloader, which I don't want to do yet.

My warranty expires in about a month, so if I need to send it in for repair that's okay.. but Im hoping it can be corrected without that.

To my knowledge, both the WiFi and Bluetooth are on the same radio, so both should work, right?

Anyways... I've tried cold booting... that didn't do anything. So I'm out of ideas...

Is there something I can do in terminal to restart the Bluetooth service? Do you think I got a corrupted OTA update?

All help is greatly appreciated. :)

I bet it was just the factory reset that fixed it. Did you think about that?? I seriously doubt this guy needs to rma his device for what seems to be a minor software issue. Try a data wipe and reflash firmware. Try some things first before you waste time sending it into Asus
[Transformer TF300T Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TDMVP73:
I thought OTA Rootkeeper only retains the root if you install the Asus Firmware Over-The-Air? If I download the firmware from the Asus support site and reflash it, won't I lose root access?

I'm just asking... because my device is working fine now.

I ended up cold booting a few more times, wiped the dalvik cache... and magically Bluetooth started working again.
