HI,

If your striimstick is broken (Not booting/working) please see my other post in order to recover it:

I just bought an Awox striimstick in a store in France.

I did not find any information on the internet.... If you know this product and have information feel free to reply to my post.

Anyway, if you have this TV HDMI stick here what you need to know (Nothing official, just from what I found out)

- You can root your device using SRSroot (Device is in the list of supported device but you need a modified google driver, see post below to download it)

- When you are root, be very carreful of what you are doing as I did not find anyway to recover the device by flashing it. (There is one now, see link at the top of this post)

- There is a reset button on the back of the device (close to the vents holes). It is supposed to be used for going into recovery or bootloader mode but it looks like this button is useless and not connected. If your button is working, try to press this button, stay pressed and plug the USB/Power cable, if the computer detect it and you have nothing on the screen, then you should be able to flash the device using Livesuite (CPU is a allwinner A1X)

- The stick is only 512 Mb of ram, so if you want to have more ram, use your Micro-sdcard and create a swap partition on it (You can find tutorials here on XDA on how to do it), then install Swapper2 app, go to advance settings and use your swap partition (like /dev/block/mmcblk0p2 for partition Number2) then select in Swapper 2 option, activate at boot.

- This product will not let you install google play store, the only way I found for installing it is by using Arctool (You need to root the device first) install Arctool app, and select google play install. Hop, you are done.

- Be carreful using Pimp my rom, as this device only plug to a tv, depending the tweak you will use you might have a bad rendering and tv flickering. Also, it happened to me to have a black screen at boot, it was very hard to fix (I had to use ADB command to remove changes done in build.prop).

- After contacting vendor's Technical support, they told me there is not easy way to fix it, please return it to the store (That happen when I had my black screen issue). basically they did not want to give me any firmware and method. I hate them... :)

- I fixed the black screen issue (probleme create by some pimp my rom tweak) by using ADB, but, because the boot sequence was stuck ADB was not in root mode, so I was not able to modify /system files. To fix It, I had to run SRSroot again, select "root all method" after the first device reboot when prompted, do not press the OK button to continue, just from your computer run a "adb shell" command, you will be in root and able to modify the file you want (in my case, that was the build.prop that was modify by pimp my rom. I went to this file and remove the part added by pimp my rom.

(See post post below for modifying Google driver in order to make ADB working)

But again, I was lucky as the device was still booting because there is no recovery or bootloader option.

So my advice is stay away from this stick, Vendor (Awox) will not give you firmware or method to do recover it. And if you already have it, you can root it and install the playstore, but be carreful to not install weird software or geek software that might write in configuration file and screw the device.

If you have more information or bootloader/recovery solution for a TV device that does not have power or volume button, please let me know.... I'm dreaming of using this stick on droid 4.2 :) (We now have a way to recover it, see link on the top of this post)
