Thanks bro !

I have a 6.xxx CWM so i can put my rom .zip on the external SD and select "choose zip from external sdcard" on the recovery to install on my internal sdcard right?
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] madpete:
Yep, that should do it. :)
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ppn7:
I putted my backup on external sdcard, i'm triying this i hope it will work.

Otherwise i 'll try to put my ROM in external and try again.
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ppn7:
Good! I just recover my system by putting the backup on my external sd card! Thanks a lot i'll try to put the .zip for flashing the rom now.

Download latest version of flashtool. During installation, scroll down and make sure you select installation of fastboot drivers. That should work. I had a nightmare of a time trying to get my phone detected in fast boot mode. This method worked for me.

Try this, download and install latest flashtool. Go to the installation directory, find a folder called drivers and run the exe "flashtool drivers". Scroll down and select Xperia Z AND

. Reboot PC and see if your PC detects your phone in fastboot

Also keep in mind, to have adb running, enable Android Debugging on your phone.

I wanna buy it but it takes too long to get here in USA. I don't wanna deal with custom and all the hassles.
[Member-Found Deals] deadhp1:
I've been looking forward to this one since the announcement last month.

As usual shipping from china takes some time. However in the USA there isn't much problems with customs.

I've ordered plenty of stuff via Hong Kong of Singapore shipping and at worst have only had to go to the post office to pick it up.

I ordererd with DHL, but I also ordered some other items to make it worth the extra cost.

Plus it costs me $10 to get to the post office and back so express shipping just makes sense to me.

I'm sure these will show up on ebay in about a month for $10-$20 more with a usa seller.

That's the way these things usually go.
[Member-Found Deals] DaKillaWilla:
Other then this one, what has been the better one to buy?
[Member-Found Deals] deadhp1:
The current stick with the most support, roms, and development would be the original MK808.

It's based on the RK3066 dual core with 1GB ram and 8GB nand. This is considered last generation hardware.

I love/hate this stick. It uses the RK901 wifi which has signal drop problems and maxes out at 65Mbps.

It's also one of the few android sticks with a heatsink which allows it to operate at over 1.2Ghz without issues.

It can be had for under $45 shipped. I own several of these.

I just received news that another RK3188 stick is being released.

The MK908 - upgraded version of the MK808 series.

-Rk3188

-2GB ram

-8GB nand

-Wifi b/g/n

-Bluetooth 4.0

-1 full size usb port

-1 mini usb port OTG

-1 mini usb port for power

-female mini hdmi port

-hidden reset button

From what I can tell the main difference between the MK908 and the T428 is the wifi, the casing, the mini hdmi port, and the extra OTG mini usb port.

The MK908 does not support 5Ghz like the T428 is supposed to.

The MK908 does have an extra mini usb port with OTG support.

The MK908 has a female mini hdmi port instead of a male full size hdmi connector.

There's also a price difference. MK908 is $89 vs the T428 at $99.

It's a good deal if you don't need/want 5Ghz wifi.

I also ordered one of these so I should be able to provide a review when it comes.

[Member-Found Deals] Cuzz1369:
Sorry for the noob question but how does this work exactly?

Edit: Never mind I finally found an explanation on Google.
[Member-Found Deals] hajalie24:
Can you put ubuntu on one of these?
[Member-Found Deals] deadhp1:
As of right now you can't put ubuntu onto the rk3188 devices.

There is no kernel source released or leaked. Hopefully we'll get some kernel source like we did for the rk3066

It may be possible to do ubuntu the old way with a vnc viewer, but I won't know until I get my sticks delievered.

I'm willing to be the guinea pig for any testing that needs to be done once I have these speed demons in my hands.
[Member-Found Deals] DaKillaWilla:
What type of controller would you recommend for one of these sticks?
[Member-Found Deals] deadhp1:
The controller at the top of my list is the Logitech K400. I like the position of the extra mouse button on the opposite side from the touchpad.

It's a bit big though.

I've also had success using the Rii Mini, and the Measy RC12.
[Member-Found Deals] SovereignKnight:
I'm using that K400 keyboard and it works great. It has about 90% functionality in Android. Now about this Quad stick. I'd stay away from the thing or any Media box/stick unless you can mod it with a heat sink at least .. TV boxes get pushed more then a smartphone does and while these CPU's run cool enough in a smartphone and tablet, not so much in a Media box. I have the Promethius and it didn't have a heat sink. Playing Angry Birds or any 3D game caused it to lock up. I added a heat sink and it worked fine but ran really hot even at stock clocks. Now that I've moded my box with a tall heat sink and fan, this is no longer the problem and It runs super cool, even overclocked to 1.3GHz. These products are being made half ass. Be warned !
[Member-Found Deals] deadhp1:
Both the T428 and the MK908 have heatsinks. So no worries on that end!

The Prometheus really needed a heatsink as did the original UG802.

Anyhow I'm expecting delivery by Tuesday so hopefully I'll have preliminary reviews up by Wednesday.

I'm really looking forward to it!
[Member-Found Deals] _sadpanda:
I've got one of the mk908's en route as well.

One rub though already: rk3188 is full 1080p, 3d and dual screen capable but this stick is shipping as 720p native.

I'm bouncing emails with geekbuying now to see what the deal is.

I just found this http://www.shenzhenpc2u.com/2013/04/here-comes-android-4-2-rk3188-quad-core-1080p-dlna-tv-stick-ug802b/ which has the same specs but lists 1080p native and ac3/dts decoding. only difference seems to be android 4.2 hopefully the mk908 will get the goods when the roll out the 4.2 upgrade... fingers crossed
[Member-Found Deals] deadhp1:
I received both the T428 and the MK908 last night. So I've started the review process and should have something up within the next day or 2.

The link you provided for the UG802B has screen shots showing that it also is running at 1280x672.

From what I've seen with the RK3066 kernels it's just a matter of selecting 1080p when they compile the kernel.

So any of these devices should be able to support native 1080p if the manufacturer compiles a kernel for it.

The real trick for rockchip would be for them to finally figure out how to enable real switching of resolutions. They generally make these chips for tablets that have set screen sizes so they haven't gotten that down yet.
[Member-Found Deals] _sadpanda:
I got this response from geek buying :

Hello there,

the future will achieve 1080P.

We will get ROM as soon as possible.

Amy

So I guess we shall see

Miracast

Hi, are you able to test the miracast functionality with a phone?
[Member-Found Deals] deadhp1:
I've never used miracast before, so I've been trying to set it up with my phablet.

I know that the T428 has support for it, I just don't seem to be able to connect properly with my phablet.

The T428 says connected, my phablet sticks at connecting...

In other news I've uploaded the stock 4.2.2 firmware for the T428.

http://www.armtvtech.com/armtvtechforum/viewforum.php?f=208

I'm in the process of making a slightly modified version of this that will have root and a 2GB data partition.

I may included some other tweaks.
[Member-Found Deals] cddt:
Thanks for trying, let me know if you have any luck.

I'll try with my nexus 4 when I get mine delivered.
[Member-Found Deals] germano77:
Hi, I wait for the 2GB data partition , thanks.

The 4.2.2 firmware support hdmi FULL HD ?

Have you try? Now I use 4.1.1 firmware with fullhd.

Bye
[Member-Found Deals] deadhp1:
For the T428 the 4.2.2 does not support 1080p interface yet. Hopefully it will get an update soon.

I'll try to upload the version of 4.2.2 with 2GB data partition a bit later tonight.

It's not too difficult to do. Just need to unpack the update.img, edit the parameter file, and repack the update.img

I wanted to root it first, but I have to head out until later.
[Member-Found Deals] germano77:
Ok great.

Have you try with xbmc ?

P.S. We wait SDK for T428 too.

Thanks
[Member-Found Deals] digweed4me:
I was able to root my mk908 just by installing superuser from chain fire and koush from Google play. I don't know how but all my apps that needs root is working fine like rom toolbox pro, siaxis control etc. I need cwm or twrp now, I don't know if installing twrp from goo manager works or not.
[Member-Found Deals] deadhp1:
I doubt we'll get any sort of SDK, but most likely some kernel source code will be released or leaked at some point. Like what happened with the rk3066.

I tried the latest XBMC build from the experimental libstagefright thread.

http://forum.xbmc.org/showthread.php?tid=152005

I'd say it plays just about as well as the rk3066 sticks. Most under 720p movies under 2.5GB play fine. Anything 1080p drops frames like crazy.

If you disable hardware acceleration then 720p doesn't even play well.
[Member-Found Deals] deadhp1:
The mk908 already has su installed from the factory. So downloading supersu or superuser is pretty simple. It's not even needed except to manage root permissions.

The t428 doesn't have su installed. So I just need to get home to my linux box, mount the system.img, copy over supersu.apk, su , busybox, unmount the system.img, repack the firmware, and last upload it.

I saw that fun has been releasing cwm recovery for various rk3188 tablets. Perhaps you could ask him to make one for the mk809 and t428?
[Member-Found Deals] digweed4me:
Who is fun any link? I would like to have 4.2.2 too with multi user log in.

[Member-Found Deals] deadhp1:
I just finished uploading the mostly stock T428 4.2.2 firmware with root and 2GB data partition.

Normally the T428's data partition is 500mb.

http://www.armtvtech.com/armtvtechforum/viewtopic.php?f=208&t=1998

I also made a mostly stock MK908 4.1.1 firmware with a 2GB data partition.

Normally the MK908's data partition is 1GB.

http://www.armtvtech.com/armtvtechforum/viewtopic.php?f=406&t=2005

Please keep in mind not to use the T428 firmware on the MK908 or the MK908 firmware on the T428.

It doesn't work.

Also keep in mind that the MK908 4.1.1 firmware is still a bit buggy, so if your device is working ok for you right now you might as well wait until the next official firmware update.(4.2.2).
[Member-Found Deals] _sadpanda:
Did you get xbmc to run on the stock rom by chance?

never mind. the device is bricked. Before I read where you were using an expirimental build, I tried current stable frodo (=crash after install during 'first setup' screen or what ever) then after a factory reset, I tried the most current nightly (=crash after install though slightly different part of the first start up)

So I got on geekbuyings site and found this:http://blog.geekbuying.com/index.php/2013/04/23/tronsmart-mk908-firmware-upgrade-guide/

and figured it couldn't hurt. I was wrong. I tried flashing the updated firmware it failed/bricked.

side note, I also ordered an MHL cable for my GS3 and it was broken right out of the box too. 11 pin connector was broken/loose.

Lets see if they stand behind their products... This is my first experience with them.
[Member-Found Deals] ace9094:
Hi,

Great work on the new firmware, would a 4GB data partition be possible?... Also I am hoping you might be able to assist with a few issue I am having with my T428...

1) I am unable to get my T428 to work with my nexus 4 as a wireless remote / keyboard have you managed to do it? (I tried a few applications but no luck)

2) Some movie playback is stuttering / buffering a lot, do you get this issue? (mainly 720p MKV's over 3GB)

3) I am looking for a 5 volt / 2amp UK plug... (My last android device shorted out when the 2pin plug got knocked while in the adapter) Nokia and Samsung phone ones are 5V but only 0.5amp causing the T428 to reboot at random

4) I noticed you cannot just use any micro usb cable to power the device, some seem 0.5ml too small and it it slips out (Stock cable is too short) best one that fits I have found so far was in Poundland but that is also quite short, it add about 6" and I need 18 - 24"

Thanks again !
[Member-Found Deals] deadhp1:
A firmware with 4GB data is very possible. It's just a matter of unpacking the rom, editing the parameter file, and repacking the rom.

If you really want I can do this and upload it. Just let me know which firmware you'd like modified.

1) I'll look into what works for the client/server to control from the smartphone.

2) I only get buffering issues when my wifi connects at a low speed. You should check what rate it is connecting at by clicking on the ap your connecting to.

My main gripe with the T428 and MK908 is the 65Mbps wifi maximum speed. The newly released iMito QX1 has 150Mbps wifi.

It doesn't do the buffering with the same files from the microsd card right?

3)I'm not sure about where to get adapters for the UK, I'm US based, I know what you mean about the adapters...a couple of my devices came with those.

4)I also noticed that the micro usb male connecter is a bit longer than normal ones. I have several device that use these longer connectors so I have extra cables. It's just weird.

As for making those odd cables longer I recommend a usb extension cable.

I've just put up a guide on how to put 4.1.1 on to the T428.

http://www.armtvtech.com/armtvtechforum/viewtopic.php?f=208&t=2020

I still prefer 4.2.2 for video playback, but others may wish to check it out.
[Member-Found Deals] _sadpanda:
Device is unbricked. Thank you deadhp1

The issue was trying to use the supplied cable to flash the device. I used an old motorola cable and got it up and running again.

I heard back from geek buying about the xbmc... they sent me this link and it does work:

http://mirrors.xbmc.org/snapshots/android/xbmc-13.0-Gotham_alpha2-armeabi-v7a-repack.apk

however, playback and usage is generally underwhelming.

I am using handbrake and using the android high profile (720) that works fine on my GS3 plays back choppy on this device.

changing the hdmi output to 720 does not help. trying to play mkv files in 1080 is worse

netflix generally sucks too... probably not the fault of the device but also a disappointment.

hopefully this stuff can get resolved. any ideas?
[Member-Found Deals] ace9094:
Hi, thanks for replying...

The reason I asked about a 4GB partition is because I normally run out of space installing and testing applications on Android devices... However saying this, I also do full format and reinstall of devices (my phone, tablet, and Yinlips 16 handheld) I find android gets very slow over time with lots use so I figured 4GB might help... (might get even more congested though)

As for the 3 pin plug, well I got one of those so now I just need to buy a long enough cable....

Thanks very much, I appreciate you taking the time to help out !!!!
[Member-Found Deals] ace9094:
Just looked at the iMito QX1 Its strange, I cannot figure out what the differences are other than the follwing:

iMito QX1 T428

1.6 Ghz CPU 1.8Ghz CPU

True 1080p Upscaled 1080p

Am I missing anything? The iMito QX1 is cheaper, and seems maybe better....

any thoughts? (I might get the iMito QX1 and sell my T428)

Kernel Sources (maybe?)

[Member-Found Deals] NixZero:
looks like they are for several rk3066 tablets, I dont see any reference for 3188 devices.
[Member-Found Deals] gadsden:
I am thinking about getting one of these. Mainly, I want to use it for Netflix, Hulu Plus and playing locally shared SMB movies through ES File Manager or something similar. I'll be able to use the box without any mods and use the standard Play apps for Netflix and Hulu Plus, right? I don't mind getting geeky and flashing ROMS and stuff, but I don't know anything about doing that other than using SDK for my phones. The process sounds much different for this. I have a Mac that I could load Linux on, but I've never ran Linux before and feel I would have to learn so much just to try and learn how to mod the box that I would rather just use it stock if I can. If it won't work out of the box for Netflix, Hulu Plus and SMB, the Mrs. will give me some serious evil eye, and nobody wants that.

Also, the box doesn't come with a power adapter, right? What adapter do I need to buy? Any recommendations?

EDIT TO ADD: I read somewhere that it didn't come with a power supply, but I see now it does.

Finally, I am looking at getting the iPazzPort KP-810-10-A remote. Thats should work fine with this stick, right?

I also just saw that there is another competing device with pretty much the same specs, the iMito QX1. Anyone have any reason why not to save the few bucks and go with this instead? It also comes with 4.2 and 1080p support out of the box. One thing I'm not sure about is the wifi antenna port. It says it is a wifi device, so I guess the antenna isn't required, but it's available in case you need extra signal boost. I'm debating these as my top choices for my new tv box unless I find something better in the next day or so.

Anyone know how to reset the QX1 back to stock? I've attempted to hold the reset button with a paper clip but to no avail.
[Member-Found Deals] TeamHackura:
any update? dumb question but are you using powerful enough power supply?
[Member-Found Deals] Malandro2011:
This is their main reason they release these devices with 720p I think..

You can flash 4.2.2 using the rockchip tool and select Restore instead of Upgrade..

Flashing was pretty simple on Windows 7 as the drivers were in the package.

Check this out and read the comments for instructions.

But basically, download both files and extract.

To to get the device ready to flash you hold the reset button while you plug the USB cable which then powers the device on and you'll see a blue light and then you let go of the reset button.

The first time it may ask for drivers which are found in the Rockchip folder. Load them.

Then you start the Rockchip tool and the box with a 1 should light up.

Pink = Normal Connection

Green = Ready to flash

If it's pink then unplug and start again with the holding the reset while plugging the USB cable into the PC.

If it's green then you're ready so you select the flash image and click Restore.

This is what I did, good luck!
