Release notes

Hello guys, I guess most of you have noticed that, right now, I'm just working on WeTek products (and couldn't be anything different since I really like doing this kind of stuff for them).

To prove you that WeTek Electronics cares about community and since we don't have any AMLogic S805 product, we decided to make users of MK808B-Plus happy by releasing a CyanogenMOD 12 build for them.

Userspace and kernel code has been upgraded to Amlogic's Lollipop SDK dated 2015-01-31 (they removed Widevine DRM support in Lollipop so apps like Play Movies won't be able to stream, I'm sorry).

First install instructions

* As really first thing I suggest you to flash stock "109k4" rom using "AMLogic Burning Tools" in case you're not already using that ROM or Finless' 1.1.

* Grab CWM from here, unzip it and copy "recovery.img" file to a MicroSD.

* Power off your device and unplug the AC power cord.

* Get the latest available ROM and GAPPS version from the links below and copy them to a MicroSD card.

* Now insert the MicroSD card in your HDMI stick.

* Plug the AC power cord while you keep pressed the little reset pinhole (located on the top left of the device) until you see the "Google TV" logo.

* Once the device has booted to recovery perform a factory reset and flash the ROM's zip for first followed by the GAPPS zip.

* Reboot and enjoy CyanogenMOD brought to you by WeTek.

Update instructions

* Get the latest available ROM and GAPPS version from the links below and copy them to a MicroSD card.

* Now insert the MicroSD card in your HDMI stick.

* Enable "Developer options" following this tutorial and from it enable the "Reboot to recovery" option.

* Bring up power menu by keeping F5 (if you have a keyboard plugged in) and select "Reboot -> recovery", otherwise use the pinhole method adove.

* Once the device has booted to recovery flash the ROM's zip for first followed by the GAPPS zip.

* Reboot and enjoy your updated CyanogenMOD.

Downloads

* ROM 2015-04-19

* GAPPS 2015-01-07 (LITE)

My God! You said it and you have done it! This little beast with Lollipop! Couldn't even imagine this happening when I decided to go for Aml 805!!!!!

Thanks a lot!
[Android Stick & Console RockChip based Computers] Christian Troy:
Who used one of the tablet that I used to support better (a lot of Allwinner A10/A31 and Amlogic 8726-MX) knows that if there's a way to make it, I will find it ;)
[Android Stick & Console RockChip based Computers] me_is_rushin:
First off let me say this is amazing. I bought this little thing last week and in that time you have brought 2 amazing roms. Thank you so much!

My question is are there any benefits to 5.0? I realize it is newer and has improvements, but I fail to see what it actually adds to a device like this.
[Android Stick & Console RockChip based Computers] Christian Troy:
Beauty, after using a full material design rom, holo is so damn ugly to me.
[Android Stick & Console RockChip based Computers] marisatomei:
Hi everyone!

I want to ask if there is a way to set up this ROM as an Android TV one, using for example the GAPPS for ATV or if I need a specific Android TV Rom. Thank you!
[Android Stick & Console RockChip based Computers] Christian Troy:
You need a specific build, there are some things that have to be configured at build time.

Hi Christian

Is possible change default framebuffer 1280x720 to 1920x1080 ?
[Android Stick & Console RockChip based Computers] Christian Troy:
No.
[Android Stick & Console RockChip based Computers] freezer2k:
Hi Christian,

I flashed this on my MXQ S85 (same m201 board and SoC), it seems to work quite well already, thanks a lot!

A few things I noticed:

- Only 2 of 4 cores show up in Android, not sure why.

- The driver for wired Ethernet seems to be missing in the kernel, is there a chance to recompile the kernel with that?

//Update

In adb I can see this during Antutu benchmark:

<5>[ 410.854471@0] CPU1: shutdown

<7>[ 411.594601@0] CTS_CPU_CLK 1536 --> 1250 (MHz)

<7>[ 411.694110@0] CTS_CPU_CLK 1250 --> 768 (MHz)

<7>[ 439.694092@2] CTS_CPU_CLK 768 --> 384 (MHz)

<7>[ 439.795417@0] CTS_CPU_CLK 384 --> 1536 (MHz)

<5>[ 457.194429@0] CPU1: shutdown

<7>[ 458.194420@2] CTS_CPU_CLK 384 --> 768 (MHz)

<7>[ 458.294901@2] CTS_CPU_CLK 768 --> 1536 (MHz)

<4>[ 458.594026@1] CPU1: Booted secondary processor

<4>[ 458.993952@3] CPU3: Booted secondary processor

Does that mean it completely shuts down the cores that are not in use and removes them the user's visibility?
[Android Stick & Console RockChip based Computers] Christian Troy:
It's not only that, it requires a different dtb with the correct gpios for the ethernet since the mk808b+ doesn't have an integrated ethernet (in this rom usb eth works like a charm, unlike stock one), the cores are alright, maybe the app you used only list the online cores and I use hotplug governor that parks the cores when not needed. It's pretty easy see how many cores there are: "ls -l /sys/devices/system/cpu/"
[Android Stick & Console RockChip based Computers] freezer2k:
Okay, thanks for the info!

Yes I attached some old 100mbit usb eth and it works perfectly.

WiFi was very slow, with better upload than download speeds, even 3mbit/s movies streamed from NAS would buffer every minute or so @ Kodi.

Just tested again and it seems smoother now, around 12mbit/s downstream using WiFi, but it's sitting like 20cm from the WiFi router. It feels like the system is also much more responsive when using usb ethernet instead of wifi, as if WiFi is causing too many interrupts.

Will the Amazon Prime App work with this version without XBMC?

With the Stock Rom 109k i need to install XBMC and run the Amazon Instant Prime Beta App as an Addon... which is quite uncomfortable
[Android Stick & Console RockChip based Computers] Christian Troy:
It will work with Kodi, like you said. Anyway full Kodi support is one of the pros of having an Amlogic SOC
[Android Stick & Console RockChip based Computers] bzh16:
Hello,

I want to use a multitouch screen 10 points, which works with the 3.12 kernel, is it possible to add additional drivers. because after my research screen needs the hid.multitouch.c driver that manages Generic Win 8 MT certified devices.

have you a tutorial to add? Thank you.
[Android Stick & Console RockChip based Computers] Christian Troy:
I'm too busy working with the WeTek device right now, in the current state the rom comes as is.
[Android Stick & Console RockChip based Computers] rootnik:
How long does this take to install? It's been about 10 minutes now and it still says "installing update..."

I'm suspecting my download is corrupt.

edit: Nevermind, it finished up right when I submitted this post.
[Android Stick & Console RockChip based Computers] Christian Troy:
it looks like the new update-binary syncs to the filesystem after each write, I got bored of this behavior and in WeTek Play's L builds reverted back to the old update-binary that is much faster

error flashing my mk808b plus to android 5 with rom 2015-01-22

Hi

am trying to flash my bk808b plus to andriod 5 using the images from here

rom 2015-01-22

my current rom is finless1.1

i am using twrp to perform the upgrade but i keep getting the following error message

this package is for device: wetek; this device is x8_h

there is only 2 files on the sd card its a tandy 16gb class 10

rom 2015-01-22 and gapps 2015-01-07(lte)

the upgrade to finless 1.0 and 1.1 had no issues

does this rom image work with the bk808b plus?

i have followed the updated instructions to the letter.

any ideas please?

Does this version support hd sound pass through dolby true hd and dts master hd?

this is the main reason to upgrade.

has any one seen this issue as well i have found on the latest version of kodi/xbmc/sbmc helix 14.1 when i play any video content I only get 1/4 size display of video not full screen, go back to older version and all is ok ?
[Android Stick & Console RockChip based Computers] Ergolumine:
well, first sorry for my English, can you upload the rom file with the driver already modified for mxq S805 ?

tried to put this one and was no wifi and ethernet

but when i tried them it said it was for the m201c model and mines a m202.

thank you in advance
[Android Stick & Console RockChip based Computers] nick3:
Thank you very much.

But just now I have seen that I have the M805 version ... this is not good for me.

Hi
[Android Stick & Console RockChip based Computers] daclina:
Thanks for this, I only seem to have found it now as 109k4 seems to work quite well for me :) (but I want kodi 17 and that's android 5 only)

I try and update it and its says:

this package is for device m201c;wetekgift, this device is m201

Then it says update complete but nothing has really changed. I used the recovery image as per instructions.

Any suggestions?

Thanks

I'm running finless 1.1 on my mk808b plus and am trying to upgrade to this Rom. Have tried to get the unit to boot to cwm recovery but it only goes to twrp and it fails flashing in that. Have tried making a flashable zip of cwm and flashing that and it doesn't take? Any ideas how to go from finless to cm?

Problems with Video-Signal

Hi...

'im asking myself, would my MK808bplus work with my 22" DVI Monitor ?

Now i have probs to get a propper video signal to my Monitor (Acer V223W ) It is 1/3 black on the left side and flickering stripes all over now, with a Finless rom 1.1

Any idea about that ?
[Android Stick & Console RockChip based Computers] Matzeee:
Root is working!

Just for reference if anyone else is still using it or plans to: ROOT is there and working!

You just need to enable it through developer settings (tapping a few times on the build number in "About the phone").

There is also a root manager included, but not visible as an app. I did not try to flash SuperSU or Magisk.

If you start any root-app you are being asked for permission, however I did not find any manager to change previous permissions.

I am still using the device with Spotify, Kodi/Spmc and a decent Usb-DAC for Hifi listening and I am pretty much satisfied with it ;)

Btw: I can recommend "Spotify Music - for Android TV (Android TV) 1.6.3". Almost no configuration, automatically HQ and always there to connect while the normal app has to be in the foreground to be available via connect.

[Android Stick & Console RockChip based Computers] mrmees:
Any chance you're still around and can repost these files? Specifically the right version of CWM is unobtanium anywhere on the internet.
[Android Stick & Console RockChip based Computers] Daniel Smedegaard Buus:
Hi :)

I'm sorry, I've searched as best I can in my archives, and for some reason I don't have those files anymore. I've only kept an Armbian Linux image and an ELEC one. If I remember correctly, it was because the CM ROM ran terribly, and Wi-Fi wasn't working either.

This is actually a little annoying, because your question reminded me that I was planning to turn one of my MK808B Pluses into a Spotify player... Let us know if you find a CWM for it, and/or if you find a decently running newer Android ROM.

By the way... Have you tried flashing e.g. Armbian, AlexELEC, or OpenELEC on it? Couldn't one of them by chance come with a CWM/TWRP? Both my devices are somewhere in my about-to-become-sentient-because-of-clutter basement, so I can't check for myself right now.
[Android Stick & Console RockChip based Computers] mrmees:
Yeah, I gave up on getting Android going - none of the Amlogic ROMs I could find had BT or wireless working, which is strange because I actually had Android running on it before with both working prior to trying to upgrade it. I think there were different chips across the MK808B Plus badge and that information isn't really noted anywhere. Would explain why so many people complain about BT/Wifi on these sticks.

I ended up trying LibreElec, which I had put off because all the threads were saying that BT wasn't working. Much to my surprise, LibreELEC-Generic_S805.arm-9.2.8.13.img booted up perfectly and everything is working great, BT and wireless included. It's an out of date Kodi version, which sucks, but I've got IPTV and NES emulation working on it and that's all I was hoping for out of this lil guy. It looks like Spotify may work with some third party plugins.

LibreElec doesn't seem to touch the recovery partition. Comes up as KOT49H.20141222. It does allow moving the installation from the SD card to the internal nand through the command line, so it has to be able to bypass something. I'm just not clever enough to figure it out.
[Android Stick & Console RockChip based Computers] jmcent01:
You mind giving me the instructions on how to get this installed on the mk808+ ? I put flashed the image to my sd card and put it into the device and held the reset button but nothing is happening. Not sure if I have to flash this another way or what. Thanks.
[Android Stick & Console RockChip based Computers] mrmees:
Don't have much in the way of instructions - pretty sure I used the LibreELEC USB / SD Creator tool to burn the image to the SD card. I'd double check, but ended up breaking the device after trying to replace the heatsink. That thing was on there really tight.
[Android Stick & Console RockChip based Computers] Christian Troy:
there's a reason if I say to use the CWM linked in the OP...
[Android Stick & Console RockChip based Computers] DRWAU:
are you referring to also having the recovery.img file on the card as well???

I initally did that as your original instructions that gave me the error first time.

then when you amended the install to just have 2 files only on the card
[Android Stick & Console RockChip based Computers] Christian Troy:
yes, that recovery.img is the cwm to be used (you can even flash it on the nand flashing the zip)
[Android Stick & Console RockChip based Computers] DRWAU:
I originally had all three # files on the card as your instructions, bit i had the error "this package is for device; wetek; this device is x8_h"

i have again tried using the original instructions again with all 3 files useing twrp to flash and still get the same error message

before we go any further can you confirm that if when i do finally flash to android 5

i will be able to pass through dolby true hd and dts hd master from either kodi or sbmc

thanks
[Android Stick & Console RockChip based Computers] Christian Troy:
I can't confirm it because I never tried. That error comes from the recovery that your device is booting, in fact you mention TWRP, my build of CWM will flash the rom properly without any error.
[Android Stick & Console RockChip based Computers] majkel_94:
Does this ROM have Nexus Player interface or stock lolipop tablet launcher with no tiles? Or there is an original launcher?

Are there any screenshots? :P
[Android Stick & Console RockChip based Computers] DRWAU:
Has anyone flashed there MK808b-plus with this rom?

and can they confirm if your are able to pass through HD Sound ( Dolby True HD DTS HD Master) using either SPMC or XBMC?
[Android Stick & Console RockChip based Computers] Christian Troy:
you need an android tv build, on amlogic it's exclusive of the WeTek Play for now.
[Android Stick & Console RockChip based Computers] Grobie13:
Sorry guys, I´m a little confused about WeTek and Amlogic. I don´t own the device, but I want to buy one. Is this:

http://www.ebay.de/itm/MK808B-Plus-.../371244485987?ssPageName=ADME:X:BOCOR:DE:1123

the right version?

Thanks for pushing me the right way :fingers-crossed:
[Android Stick & Console RockChip based Computers] vn800art:
[MENTION=1413395]Grobie13[/MENTION]: this thread is about the device You have linked on Ebay. Wetek kindly supported the developer to enlighten Amlogic potential with different FW releases. WeTek produces different and even more powerful devices.

On a side note, you can find maybe better prices for MK808b Plus around the web, it is a basic device and starting prices ( long time delivery = 1 month) could go down to 25€ !!!!

yesterday i´d flash this rom, and it s a half solution with my problem with german sky go. Live Stream start, but they are laggy. But i have a picture. :)

In my opinion the rom is not very smooth. But i don´t made a wipe after flashing the rom. Will it be helpful wipe the rom after installing Android L? Or is it better to wipe data and flashing the rom again? I´m sorry for newbie question, but this is my first flashing time :)

Not working

Using Twrp it says " error executing updater binary in zip"

Before that, used Terminal to flash CWM and then tried to install it, but it just stuck at the start of installing and didnt move for 20 minutes. Weird.

Even before that, the recovery.img in sdcard root, didnt work with reset pin and had to flash it the above way using terminal. before using CWM it used to say, Your device is xyz, rom is for wetek. (dont remember exact.)

I believe I exhausted all options and seems there is a niggle in the file itself. So can you please tell me whats wrong? If its something that I did wrong, do tell. I used your CWM and flashed finless 1.1 without any issues in a minute or two.

Please do help. Looking forward to using to Lolipop :p

Issues with flashing.

My apologies in advance if this is an easy fix. I am valiantly attempting to install CM12 on my MK808b Plus.

However, regardless of whether I enter recovery with only the recovery .img or all three files (recovery img/ cm os/ gapps) I get a mount error: "E: read-only mount /dev/block/mmcblk0p1 on SD card failed (Invalid argument)!!!"

I have used several different micro sd cards, as well as USB to no avail. Cards have been formatted FAT32/ NSTF, again, no response. Issue continues if trying to update through update app of TWRP manager app as well.

:eek:

Any assistance is greatly appreciated. Can't wait to have this ROM up and running. Thanks for all the work on it.
[Android Stick & Console RockChip based Computers] Lokx:
Hello ellentracymac2

I am getting the same error. In your edit you said you got a new one and it work. Did you get a new mk808 or a new memory card?

If i'm in the factory rom I am able to view all the files in the sd card via the file manager app but when I'm in recovery mod I cannot access the memory card.

Thanks
