Should I buy a S4 or HTC ONE X?
[Galaxy S 4 Active Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] joshuadjohnson22:
Sir we can't help your out with this without knowing what you prefer. Both devices are great but they both have different features that attract different users. For example if you care about beautiful displays that are iPhone like (natural colors), amazing metal design, front facing speakers, simple stock android like OS, amazing development and unlockable bootloader out of the box then the HTC One will be for you. If you prefer bigger-vibrant-over saturated screens, bigger battery, and 3 buttons one a hardware button, a heavier OS with a lot of features get the S4.

This forum is for the S4 Active, it is a different variant of the S4 that is both rugged and water resistant. It has a LCD and have more natural colors than the regular S4

As I have ordered my MK-809-III , I will use this posting to collect useful data,

and blog about howto root it, howto install a custom ROM on MK809-III and howto

connect the MK 809-III to a Liyama 24" touchscreen (T2451-MTS)

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

* update 24-10 2013 *

* If you just want quick root and working fast custom ROM, see steps 1-4 *

* 1 - Got NHR_17_20131012.zip *

* 2 - Took file kernel.img from attachment in this post *

* 3 - Put kernel.img in ROM NHR_17_20131012. (rename existing kernel.img in this ROM to kernel.bak) *

* 4 - opened the RKflash tool ,and just flashed it NHR_17_20131012, without touching anything *

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

Worked the first time.

Neomode Hybrid 1.7 rooted.

Some info's

Device now shows MK908 in device info.

More RAM (5,8GB) less ROM (0.99GB)

My device has the 6210AP Wifi chip. Actually ,I have two ,slightlly different casings ,from 2 sources.

Internally almost identical ,although one has a heatsink on chip.

When I tried to add touschreen drivers,

nothing happens ,seems like kernel doesn't know about lsusb ! (sadly ,neither do I ,I just follow howto's)

How to root MK809 III

Hi,

there is a description how to root the MK809 III.

Linux

Create a file for udev, for example

/etc/udev/rules.d/70-android.rules

and insert a rule

SUBSYSTEM=="usb", ATTR{idVendor}=="2207", MODE="0666", GROUP="plugdev"

Reload the rules

chmod a+r /etc/udev/rules.d/70-android.rules
udevadm control --reload-rules

Then you have to create a file

~/.android/adb_usb.ini

with this code, because of empty list after "adb devices" after this you will be able to see the device in the list

# ANDROID 3RD PARTY USB VENDOR ID LIST -- DO NOT EDIT.
# USE 'android update adb' TO GENERATE.
# 1 USB VENDOR ID PER LINE.
0x2207

Make sure USB Debugging is enabled on your mini PC (Settings -> Developer Options)

Connect your device via USB and check an option in the Settings -> USB -> Connect to PC

To avoid conflicts, kill the adb server

adb kill-server

now you should see your device

adb devices

in my case

xsigik@xsigik:~$ adb devices
* daemon not running. starting it now on port 5037 *
* daemon started successfully *
List of devices attached
0123456789ABCDEF device

I modified batch file a little bit, there was a mistake in a file name in compare with original file, so SuperSU.apk wasn't installed.

Before you continue after each restart, check the option "Connect to PC"!

#!/bin/bash

clear

echo "ROOT by xsigik"

adb shell mv /data/local/tmp /data/local/tmp.bak
adb shell ln -s /data /data/local/tmp
adb reboot

echo "Rebooting (1/3) - Continue once device finishes rebooting"
read -p "Press [Enter] key to continue"

adb shell rm /data/local.prop > nul
adb shell "echo \"ro.kernel.qemu=1\" > /data/local.prop"
adb reboot

echo "Rebooting (2/3) - Continue once device finishes rebooting"
read -p "Press [Enter] key to continue"

adb shell id

echo "If the id is 0 / root then continue, otherwise ctrl+c to cancel and start over"
read -p "Press [Enter] key to continue"

adb remount
adb push su /system/bin/su
adb shell chown 0.0 /system/bin/su
adb shell chmod 06755 /system/bin/su
adb push busybox /system/bin/busybox
adb shell chown 0.0 /system/bin/busybox
adb shell chmod 0755 /system/bin/busybox
adb push SuperSU.apk /system/app/SuperSU.apk
adb shell chown 0.0 /system/app/SuperSU.apk
adb shell chmod 0644 /system/app/SuperSU.apk
adb push RootExplorer.apk /system/app/RootExplorer.apk
adb shell chown 0.0 /system/app/RootExplorer.apk
adb shell chmod 0644 /system/app/RootExplorer.apk

echo "Removing changes except ROOT"

adb shell rm /data/local.prop
adb shell rm /data/local/tmp
adb shell mv /data/local/tmp.bak /data/local/tmp
adb reboot

echo "Rebooting (3/3) - You should now be Rooted"

In the attachment, there are all required files. Make sure that RootDevice.sh is executable.

chmod +x RootDevice.sh

Glad to see someone else is working with one of these. I've had mine for a few weeks, but haven't had much time to fiddle with it. I bought this thing to work as an inexpensive means to start coding on my own. I have never done much of that, but I would like to start. Does this code created require Linux on your PC to run, or could I run it on my windows machine?
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] xsigik:
Hi,

it's all about adb commands... so if you have an appropriate driver for MK809 III, put the value 0x2207 into adb_usb.ini in your home directory, then you should see the device in adb devices list. Now you can put these commands into the batch file or just copy&paste directly to adb shell.

I can try it under Windows XP, but I have a little problem with the device - hope to boot again after flashing original stock ROM :-/
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] xsigik:
Ok, my current situation is that I've tried several ROMs, Finless, Neomode, "original" ROM etc... the device was successfully flashed but didn't work, even ROMs that were for MK809 III didn't work. There was only a blank screen / no signal on TV. Only one older ROM worked :confused:
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] ferrari35:
Shame about the ROMs but at least you got it rooted
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] milky23:
Sorry i just got my mk809 iii yesterday.. and found out that the stick can be rooted...

i'm new to Android, all this while is Appleboy..

what does ROOT do? and is there an instruction base on window? few post back was LINUX right?
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] xsigik:
You can find a lot of informations about advantages of rooted Android on the internet. But I am not sure If it is a good idea for a beginner.

I posted the tutorial for rooting from Linux, but two posts later I wrote some info about Windows, that it's about adb commands and one line in adb_usb.ini.

---------- Post added at 11:18 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:51 AM ----------

My experience with flashing

I've tried several custom ROMs, but from 10 ROMs only 2 older worked. I found some ROMs that should work on MK809 III but they didn't.

MK809 III should be the same device as Tronsmart MK908 and CX919...

Clockwork Recovery - most of ROMs are in img format, not in zip, so I think that CWM is useless. To get into the recovery mode, you have to reboot from Android or from adb via command adb reboot recovery. And to connect via adb you have to switch on debug mode. So a conclusion is that without working Android ROM, you are not able to get into the recovery mode. If I am wrong, correct me.

Current situation is that I soldered 2 wires on the board to connect via serial (TX and GND) for listening an output. So I have few logs and I am trying to flash whole Android with working kernel etc and then change only a system from other ROM.

Does anybody have an original ROM? From R-Box with Android 4.2.2, I would appreciate it :)

I soldered wires on the board to TX and GND for serial console, so I can see an output during the boot. And I will post it there tomorrow.
