Update:

I have just created a V2. Why, because i plugged back my awox striimstick and found it very slow and outdated. So I created a V2 with a new launcher, and remove a lot of crap and freed up memory.

To sum up, if you need to get close to stock ROM use V1, (there is some draw back and some modification to do to get back the internal SDcard (Modify /etc/vold.fstab and find the line: "dev_mount sdcard /mnt/sdcard auto /devices/virtual/block/nandk" replace nandk or whatever by nandj then do a mkfs.vfat /dev/block/nandj to format, then reboot)

OR, use the V2, access to everything and very fast rom (fast considering the very old CPU and the 512 Mb of ram). This rom V2 is very usable;

Hi all,.

This is an awox striimstick, hdmi stick.

Please see the recovery method below after download link...

Long story short, a fw restore using allwinnera10 tools went wrong and now i have no way to recover it.

I have no power button or volume key, only a reset button on the back (like the mk802)

If i keep pressing this button while pluggin the usb cable to my computer i should be able to go to the bootloader, but it never works... It only reset all my settings.

For restoring the striimstick:

Link for Firmware V1 (file 460mb) and Firmware V2 (file 607 mb) and tools (Livesuite and phoenix carad writer)

Link: https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/0BwJDxBRQ92xcbU5RWkQ2WXV1UFE?usp=sharing

and the instruction:

- Download and use phoenix card writer to write the output.img or outputv2.img to a micro sd (1Gb microsd should be enough)

- plug micro SD card to the stiimstick (do not plug HDMI, just a Usb cable to your computer)

- Power on (You should see a green light blinking close to the red light)

- Wait 1 real minute

- 1- Remove microSD, 2- unplug the usb cable from your computer

- Plug it back into your computer (Make sure your computer's sound is on so you will here windows saying it is detecting new hardware)

- The stick Should now be in bootloader mode, Windows will detect the hardware and will ask for driver, use the driver from live suite folder\Usb driver

- Use livesuite to flash the file output.img or outputv2.img file (If flashing says 0% and do not start after 1 minute, unplug and plug back the stick one more time, do not touch anything on the computer, the flashing should start automatically in the next 30 seconds)

Unplug the stick and plug the HDMI cable to your TV, Plug back power cable, it should be working

Again this is not super easy, if you do it anyway, do it at your own risk

Fyi (On v1), on this image there is the playstore already installed and it is rooted. This is not the official image as nobody has it. I made this image from a nandroid backup i did previously

Fyi (On v2), on this image there is no google services installed but the rom is rooted and has aptoid lite, facebook lite, cleanMaster and ES File explorer already installed out of the box.

Please hit the thanks button if you donwload the file.

Cheers

Note for V2:

Use the same Recovery method using the SDCARD then Livesuite.

After reboot, use ES file explorer, activate "root"option in it THEN to go to /system/app and reinstall android terminal by clicking on jackpal.androidterm-1.apk (Yon can also use adb shell and type "su" and go to next step).

then Open Android term type su, wait for superSu to popup and autorise it. then type: mkfs.vfat /dev/block/nandj (It will format the internal SDCARD not the MicroSD call EXT-SD) then type reboot.

You will now have the internal SD card accessible in /SDCARD. Your MicroSD card is accessible through /mnt/extsd

Also, as this stick have a little amount of ram, I recommand to use the android Widget "CleanMaster (White theme)" already installed from the laucher (This is the widget below my kid's picture on the launcher). Everytime before starting an app I'm cleaning the RAM using this button from the launcher (See the launcher screenshot below)

I removed everything included google services and google market (Was present in V1) because it uses too much ram and CPU. I replaced it with Aptoid lite, replaced chrome by opera mini, and facebook by facebook lite..

Regarding remote control, if you dont like the hardware remote provided by awox, you can download from google play store on your phone the Awox remote app (striimstick Remote) and use it to remote control your android stick (emulating mouse and keyboard).

The stick is also able to receive DLNA request and it is working pretty well (I send DLNA from my galaxy S6 using bubbleUpnP and it is working well with movies and series.

Here another screenshot with the application I used and works well with this stick:
