Hi!

I just found the way to recover bricked ATV580.

I've build a recovery firmware for the Andriod Recovery System native FLASHEABLE ZIP. This thing is different from update.img way, because Android Revovery System FLASHEABLE Signed Zip firmware lets you to recover the full system using the standard way.

Anyway I don't have the full firmware built, but I have all the knowledge to build a FLASHEABLE zip image using update.img wich is not Flasheable by the Native android recovery system.

This is a complicated thing, but is the simple a more secure way to recover any bricked device. Similar to ABD way but no need to have a ABD port (like in this case, because Atv 580 doesn't have the ADB por enabled by default. It has an nice ADB port using build.prop to enable it, and convert one of its USB ports, but by default ADB is disabled, so the only way to recover a bricked ATV580 is using a flasheable image with android recovery system, booting pushing g the little back button on ATV580 device while booting.

When I have more time maybe I will build this Flasheable zip from the rooted update.img, for those people who has the device bricked.

Thanks!

Great job!

Could be handy one day ?
[Android Stick & Console RockChip based Computers] lifeisfun:
Just to update...

Tested latest Gotham beta 3, and unfortunately 1080p playback still very choppy

Any tips would be welcomed
[Android Stick & Console RockChip based Computers] myandroidtv:
There is a new firmware available here:

mygica.es/descargas.php

Work fine, is better install by USB with RKFlash

Bye
[Android Stick & Console RockChip based Computers] jalcot:
Whats about 1080p nativa resolution support? Because the previous firmwares the native resolution was 720p.

[Android Stick & Console RockChip based Computers] lifeisfun:
I tried to use the USB port before and it never connected to my pc

Did you test the firmware using XBMC Gotham with 1080p content like Apple trailers?

Thanks
[Android Stick & Console RockChip based Computers] myandroidtv:
For connect by USB, first you have install drivers RK after work perfectly.

You download firmware mygica, inside you have drivers RK and RKflash tool. If you have problemas, You use the other the program that there is in the zip.

I have tested, playing video fullHD DTS 1080p by local streaming and work fine with Xbmc Gotham beta3.

Bye.
[Android Stick & Console RockChip based Computers] lifeisfun:
I'm flashing other RK devices without problem do I doubt that driver was the problem, will order new canle.

Thanks for the report on the playback!
[Android Stick & Console RockChip based Computers] jalcot:
Lifeisfun could you confirm me the Kernel native resolution support? If we have 1080p support I will build the cleaned version.

Thanks!

[Android Stick & Console RockChip based Computers] lifeisfun:
Will do, but can't flash it now since I have to order new cable first :(
[Android Stick & Console RockChip based Computers] jalcot:
I have had a look into the firmware:

I have found this information inside:

ro.build.date=Fri Dec 13 12:26:46 CST 2013

ro.vendor.sw.version=1.1_2014-03-20_4.2.2_Mygica_Spain

The build is the same as our last official firmware (the rooted and cleaned one). So I think nothing changed in the kernel. I think this "new" firmware is a fake crappy thing from Mygica...

Anyway it could be nice to check the main problem, about 1080p native support, if this firmware doesn't fix that, the firmware is doesn't worth to update from the latest official (31 Dec 2013).

Greets!
[Android Stick & Console RockChip based Computers] lifeisfun:
That sucks!

Don't forget folks to visit the new official MyGica forum and let them know what you think, I already voiced my opinion

http://www.mygica.ca/forum/viewforum.php?f=34&sid=e7c191411e555cfba061578c99903f5a

BTW, can someone test this file using Gotham 3, it's still choppy for me

https://archive.org/details/AVATARPANDORATRAILERHD1080p
[Android Stick & Console RockChip based Computers] myandroidtv:
To recognize the ATV580 in windows I have only tried with Xp:

1) connected usb male to usb male to pc

2) Press the upgrade button with a pencil at the bottom.

3) Put power supply.

4) Installa drivers

5) Windows will detect the ATV580 RK3188 perfectly.

If you have problems you can use the program ROOT_for_drivers.exe, or ZhuoDaShi.

Bye
[Android Stick & Console RockChip based Computers] lifeisfun:
Once again, I don't have a problem with drivers, I suspect the cable is bad.

Could you please tell me if you can play this file flawless without chopping in Gotham 3 using that Rom?

Thanks

Unfortunately my Atv580 has been broken.

Its graphic card does not work anymore, after 6 months of use, suddenly the image on my TV is full of noise and glitch constantly.

So my MYGICA is dead...

I bought a MINI NEOX X8!!! Only 85 euros. Real FULL HD...

I was not happy with mygica, and I don't think I won't buy an Mygica device. Not recommended.

I am looking forward to get my new ANDROID TV NEIX X8!

Greets!

[Android Stick & Console RockChip based Computers] lifeisfun:
Sorry to hear that :(

I presume you tried new HDMI cable?

It should be under warranty, why don't you ask for replacement?

The new 582 is very similar to x8

[Android Stick & Console RockChip based Computers] bartidge:
Rooted??

I've had an ATV580 sitting around for a couple years.

I didn't like the chinese apps on there and tabled it.

Then I just recently found this thread and downloaded and cooked the firmware and installed it following the instructions (new to custom roms).

Very cool! Thx. jalcot!

Everything completed and installed successfully as far as I could tell. I see the new build version and number in the 'about device' section in settings

That said, I should have full root with this installed successfully, yes?

I ran root checker and it said "root not completely succesful" or similar message saying it wasn't fully rooted.

I also tried installing an app that required root and it would not install properly either and gave a required root file unavailable error.

Is this cooked version truly rooted?

If so, I wonder what I did wrong in the update???

I find myself in need of a large extended battery and the two most talked about seem to be the Anker 7800 and the Zerolemon 7500. They both have good reviews on Amazon and there seems to be arguments for both on XDA. Some reviews say the Anker comes with a better case but I do like the idea of the ZL rugged case but I'm guessing it could be used with the Anker battery. Does anyone have first hand experience with these on the s4 that can provide advice?
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] Majin101:
I use hyperion because of NFC.
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] Christopher3712:
I actually just ordered the ZL 7500 + TPU Case AND the Rugged Case on Amazon. However, I won't get them until Monday. I'll post back with results.
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] joshm.1219:
I own both and the ZL rugged case. The Anker fits very tightly into the rugged case. I like the Anker more because it's 300mah larger & doesn't cover the speaker.

Also, for whatever reason, my phone seems to be able to calculate the battery percentage of the Anker better than it does the ZeroLemon. I think it's because the Anker is exactly 3x the stock size while the ZL isn't.
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] ports394:
I use the Anker 5200 without a case on it. And it works well. I also have the Anker 7600..

The 5200 gets me 3 days, and the 7600 is around 4 days.

The 7600 is a real brick, so I only use it, when I really need a long lasting battery and am traveling all day.
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] Christopher3712:
Zerolemon 7500 quick review

So after some pretty heavy testing, I'm finding that the battery does phenomenally well running android 4.4.2 (GoldenEye ROMs). Since it wasn't running stock, I applied my normal power saving measures (KT Kernel, profiles, TW powersaving mode, tasker GPS profile). The best I saw was 3 days with 15.5 hours of screen-on time. More recently, I've been seeing 2 days with 12 hours or so with screen-on time. That's likely due to my experimentation with different configurations. One of the most maddening things about this battery is actually trying to kill it. That last 2% of battery life goes on forever. I ordered the Zerolemon superfast charger (which, by the way, isn't superfast at all). It seems to charge faster using the standard Samsung charger. However, it helps when charging the battery I'm not using after a swap out. I've gotten pretty used to the added bulk and weight - so much so that using the stock battery makes me marvel at how light the phone actually is (even in the Zerolemon rugged case).
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] z50king:
I am looking between the Anker and the ZL right now.

I have been reading that the Anker case is very slippery. Is this true? Does the Anker cover the face of the phone on the sides, to protect the screen?
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] realfink:
I've used both zero lemon and anker. I prefer anker. For me i get better battery life even those the anker is smaller in capacity
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] BklynNetschamps:
ZL poor long term battery

My experience going through 2 ZL 7500 batteries is that they're great in the first couple of months at giving amazing battery life, but the performance loses out pretty significantly months later in. I've gotta say their customer service is great in replacing stuff, but at the same time its a pain to have poor longevity in its quality. I think I'm gunna order the Anker and give that a go. Anyone know if there's any battery like with nfc though?
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] oohaylima:
I love this battery. I got a GS4 with a bad ESN (f'kn craigslist). Reported it but the cops couldn't do anything. So I did what any XDA member would do....convert to a gaming device! Fully charged it and ran it all day and night yesterday and this morning. Pictures, video, music, games, etc...

View attachment 2659191

I'm very content with the Anker 7800. I need a protective case so I'm gonna try that Zero Lemon case.
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] chg1282002:
the zero lemon case doesn't fit the anker battery 7800
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] oohaylima:
It does. Can't wait to get it here. Use this phone to jog around and the anker case doesn't cut for drops on the move.
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] chg1282002:
i got both ,but it ZL case doesnt fit the Anker battery
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] oohaylima:
You may have to trim yours. Users on the first part of this thread state it does.
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] chg1282002:
any video ?
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] airheli1201:
I have both the ZL and anker 7800mah. I am using the anker now because the case it much nicer and better quality and is solid.

Also I was having signal problem with the ZL but none with the anker. This could be because zerolemon covers the bottom antenna but the anker is quite shorter and doesn't. I think Anker is overall much better made and designed apart from the fact it doesn't have NFC
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] jkhawk:
How did you shave the ZL case?

I would do that if I knew how. I like the ZL case and battery but the Anker 7800 lasts longer but slightly too big for the ZL case.
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] KRAZYADROIDMASTER:
I put my original battery in the case with adapter. :D
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] lhadi:
:D
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] z50king:
wow, thanks for the review
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] lhadi:
This batery need change case ???
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] tomorio:
So, would people with the zero lemon one recommend the 12 hour initial charge or use it until its empty if it comes with charge and then do a full charge? Thanks.
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] tomorio:
OK so a quick review. Had the battery 2 days now. The first was spent charging for 12 hours.

Now despite the fact it actually turns your phone into a brick, its actually very comfortable. The case is nice to grip and won't slide out your hand. Its bulky but this added weight seems to make it feel more solid and robust. It feels like a better build quality.

Enough about the aesthetics! So this is only its first discharge cycle and already I notice a huge difference. Now I use my phone a lot in the day. I'm constantly checking and writing emails, texts, Facebook and playing a few high demand games. Usually by this point in the day I would have had to put it to charge again, but I'm only just up to 65% which trust me is amazing for the amount I use my phone. I would definitely recommend it. Don't let the size put you off, you very quickly get used to it and it actually seems to make using the phone much easier.

Thanks.
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] z50king:
What about the zero lemon covering the processor and graphics processor heat syncs? Does the phone heat up more easily??
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] tomorio:
If anything my phone seems cooler. It used to get really hot with some games I played but using this cover and battery it doesn't seem to get half as warm. Could be because the back is off and due to the speaker vents at the bottom the phone gets better ventilation.

I am now at the end of my second full day of daily usage and the phone has reached 18% but has been occasionally going back up a few % so I have been between 17-20% for a fair few hours now. I'm going to run it to complete discharge of the battery so we shall see how much of tomorrow it sees. Plus I will use it tonight a bit I expect
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] dssking:
I've had the 7000mAh on my S3 and now the 7500 on my S4. Battery life is good... 3 days, about 5 hours of talk and 5 on screen.

What is VERY disappointing is the vibrating of the phone. I believe that the rubber case stiffles the vibrating mechanism.

I went back to the stock bat and it was better, but still not great.

I'm at a loss as to what to do now.......
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] munichsfinest:
Would you recommend an extended battery at all? I'm not a heavy user while on battery, but there are times (on the train e.g.) where I listen to music with Viper4Android (which eats quite a lot) + Beats headphones, and read Ebook + chat on WhatsApp and so on. For these moments it would be nice not having to care about the battery, but is it really worth the weight gain and compromised handling + looks?
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] tomorio:
In a word ..... Yes! Its triple the amount of time you can use your phone for a great price. The weight you genuinely get used to very quickly. And it actually makes the phone fit better in your hand. Sure its bulky in your pocket but just avoid skinny pants. Just read the reviews in this thread and you'll see its worth it if you are out and about a lot and need your phone all day without worrying how much battery you're using.
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] tomorio:
OK so, I found myself having to email zero lemon the other day as the battery wasn't performing quite as it should be. To begin with it was lasting 2 days and keeping a good 15-20% for day 3. Now however i get 1 full day then have around 20-25% left after just one day.

Anyway so I emailed explaining this and that I haven't installed any new apps and I'm not using my phone any more or less really than I usually do. The email I received back seemed to be some standardized shpiel that they give. The reply was based solely on the use of benchmarking apps and how they don't work with extended batteries. To which my reply was .....WHAT??!!!? Not once in my initial email did I mention benchmarking apps. All I did was report that the batter life has reduced significantly since first usage.

So I've sent another email explaining 1) I didn't mention benchmarking apps and that an ACTUAL response to MY email would be appreciated and 2) that the battery that I expected to slightly improve from first use .... Hasn't and that it has significantly worsened.

Let's see what the reply is.
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] munichsfinest:
Ok, thank you for sharing your experience :) Maybe i'll give it a try in the next time.
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] z50king:
How old is the battery?
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] tomorio:
I've had it like 2 weeks at most. The battery is meant to improve slightly after the first few cycles, not get worse. Or at least that's what I'm lead to believe.
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] z50king:
it's a lithium battery. It will not get any better
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] theodorebal:
I'd recommend the RAVPower 8,400mAh. My girl has one and she says it works great with her Galaxy S4.
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] tomorio:
What sort of life does she get on that? And how much usage is that with? Thanks.
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] harishliki:
anker

so at last you guys would say that anker is the better battery than ZL am i correct??
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] aviara:
So the Anker 7800mah does fit inside the ZL rugged case?

Sweet!
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] joshm.1219:
Yupp, it's tight, but it works no problem.
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] aviara:
Could you post some pics of it for me? Like the fitting, and around the edges, etc. Thanks!
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] joshm.1219:
Sure, I'm working for the next 10 hours then I can do it
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] lazer9:
Can't fine the ZeroLemon 7500 anywhere. Has anyone experience with this one: http://www.amazon.com/Hyperion-Micr...sim_cps_1?ie=UTF8&refRID=1APGF6N1Y6K7QV0MB2NR

And does it fit the ZeroLemon Rugged case as this one: http://www.ebay.com/itm/ZeroLemon-B...t=US_Cell_Phone_PDA_Cases&hash=item4867fe9e1d

I need the case w/ swivel as I'm used to carrying it on my side.

Thanks!
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] warriorforgod:
So I bit the bullet and bought the Anker 7800 battery. All I can say is WOW! Amazing battery life. Definitly worth the 30 bucks I spent.
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] ammjr71:
Nice!

That is nice life. I'm sitting at 10% after 2 days 11 hours on the zerolemon 7500 with 6 hours 57 minutes of screen time... GPS, Nike Running, music playing... downloading app updates. Both of these batteries are awesome.
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] aviara:
Buy a zerolemon zeroshock and you'll love it even more. I am using the anker 7800mah with the zerolemon zeroshock green case. Love it.

---------- Post added at 06:32 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:31 PM ----------

Get the anker 7800mah and the zerolemon zeroshock case. They work perfectly together.
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] warriorforgod:
I ended up getting the zero lemon case as well. Mine fits like a glove.
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] aviara:
Same here. Love it.
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] boilerkim:
Is the Anker 7800mah really better than the ZeroLemon battery in terms of battery life? The Anker is smaller in size so I am confused how it has more mah then the ZeroLemon unless they are not giving the correct numbers. Has anyone had signal loss on either of them?
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] boilerkim:
So I got the Anker battery with the ZeroLemon Rugged case. Loving the battery life but I am a little concerned about the fit of the case. As you can see in the picture the Anker battery is a little too big for the case which caused an opening on the bottom of the camera. Does anyone else have this as well?
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] FPSUsername:
This makes the phone so big, it is a tank :D

And I still get 3 days with 4h screen on time with my samsung wave (1500mAh battery)

I've got exact same setup and the little opening. Don't worry about it, I dropped my phone with the battery and ZL case down three staircases and it survived beautifully without a scratch
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] adx716:
I got the Anker battery today. Did you guys prime your battery? If so, how did you do it? Thanks!
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] cyaclone:
Help. I want the larger battery but I need to have it clip on like the Otterbox Defender. If this possible could you please let me know what case you are using and how did you get to attach to a belt?

The Anker 7800 seems to be the right choice for me but will it fit the ZLShock Case?

Not sure on the previous posts if the ZL case that had been mentioned was the Viper case is for the 7000 and the Shock case is for the 7500.
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] cyaclone:
Is your ZeroLemon case the viper case?

I want the Anker 7800 but want a clip on to belt case, so I need to know if that battery will fit that Viper case or is it the Shock case ? Viper case is for the 7000 and the Shock case is for the 7500.

---------- Post added at 07:34 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:05 PM ----------

Which ZL case did you buy the ZeroShock or the ZeroShock Viper? Each of these are for a different size battery, the Viper is for the smaller 7000

[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] MortTheBeast:
I want a good protective case to go along with the battery and beings I am very anal about things, I also want the case to be nice looking and not some hideous monstrosity that makes my beautiful phone look like something that I just bought at the local Dollar Store.

The case that comes with the 7800 is not bad looking at all, but I am not really happy with the smooth texture on the back, doesn't seem to be overly protective and not to mention I have read quite a few reviews of problems with the case loosing the little snaps that hold it in place after a few times of removing and placing it back on. I do not like the ZL case at all. A friend bought it and I think it looks cheesy... but hey that's my own personal opinion.

I was originally looking at the Seidio 4500mAh to go with the nice looking Seidio Dilex Extended case, but the price tag on the battery is pathetically high... to the point of being ludicrous. Even more so considering a lot of reviews I read didn't speak all that highly of it's performance, especially when taking into consideration that on one side we have a 7800mAh battery you can pick up for $32 with a lot of good reviews and then you have Seidio which is only 4500mAh, so so in the review department and it costs almost 3x the price of the Anker 7800.

I started looking around some more and it seemed like the Anker got a ton of rave reviews, but again as mentioned above... I really want the 7800, but I can't find any good looking (yet quality) cases for it to fit in. Now one of the reviewers for the Seidio Dilex Extended case mentioned that the Anker 5200mAh will fit in it, but then I hate to loose out on that extra 2600mAh of battery life.

Decisions Decisions! :eek:

How much time anker 7800mah take for charging??
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] sevron:
I've been using the zerolemon 7500 for almost a month now. Highest battery stats I've seen so far is just over 3 days with ~4 hours screen on time. My only thing is I'm actually starting to hate how think it is for some reason. It cramps my hands, but maybe that's because I have small hands =/. But I basically have to just deal with it because on every ROM I try I get maybe 6ish hours of heavy use with the stock battery and if I even think about using navigation or music while driving it's done for.
