[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] Bruur:
Thanks! I managed to unbrick my device with the firmware mentioned in this Russian forum using the following ingredients:

Burning software: USB_Burning_Tool_v2.0.6.2_build2

Firmware: aml_upgrade_package_s812c_mx3_20151027.img

Copied "licence" directory from licence.zip into: ..\Program Files (x86)\Amlogic\USB_Burning_Tool

The box flashes successfully in 4:48 minutes and after pulling the power plug out and disconnecting the OTG cable and powering it back on the power LED switches to blue again and it boots up into a KitKat version.

Where not there yet:

The remote control is not recognized, nor the remotes of a MXQ of MX(2) box. You can only control it via a USB keyboard or mouse.

I still cannot flash any OpenElec on it. Via the MicroSD it just restarts and restarts. If I flash by entering the recovery menu using the hidden button and use a USB file to flash it, it flashes successfully but bricks after restart.

There is no connection via Ethernet (Wifi works)

I've opened the box up and the mainboard is marked as Netxeon MXIII-C_V1.1_20160223. Maybe this is not yet supported in the OpenElec builds? Does anybody have the correct firmware for this box?

Anyone know where you can buy the 2GB+16GB version with Bluetooth ?

Gearbest.com

Hm, Sorry but it's 2+8Gb

That's what I bought:

[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] ilichva:
Try these (to choose s812c_mx3)
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] ImNotTheDroidUrLooking4:
Yours has bluetooth reading the comments its says it doesnt have it.

Its confusing to know which version has it and where to buy it from.
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] TopperBG:
I can assure you that one specific has bluetooth and it works.
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] ImNotTheDroidUrLooking4:
OK Thanks for clarifying.
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] pelle900gli:
Bruur, I have the same box 2/16G and was happy, as you also found out, that it accepts tools for the M8S. I run TWRP for the M8S for flashing and imaging/backup but never tried OpenElec on it.

I also have the MXIII-G 2/8Gb version. The design of the motherboard is more or less the same but clearly is not when it comes to firmware.

If you want back to stock firmware I can send you a TWRP backup file.
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] Bruur:
I'm definitely interested! I haven't worked with TWRP before on the boxes though. Can the image be burned with the USB Burning tool? If not, can you point me in the general direction on how to restore (and backup) via TWRP?

I'm a more OpenELEC / LibreELEC guy. I have OpenELEC working on this box, except from powering off via the remote and the button on the top. What is also weird is that suspend works, but there is no way to power up except from unplugging the power and plugging it back in. I'm looking for a working remote.conf file for OpenELEC which fixes this, but so far no luck.

By the way: Indeed I found out that the M8S+ image is the closest match to this box. But I can't get the remote to work 100% properly. Did you find firmware where the remote works?
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] pelle900gli:
I have not changed image. I use the box as a Kodi player so no need to mess around with it. It works fine as it is.

This is for the MXIII-G 2/16Gb box released in March 2016.

Download http://www.freak-tab.de/abdul_pt/aml/TWRP_M8S.img and put it on a SD card. Rename it to recovery.img.

Put the TWRP backup file (with the folder structure intact from the ZIP-file) on the SD-card http://www.sm4xiu.eu/web/MXIII-G_2-16Gb_build_202L1_modified_TWRP-backup_20-May-2016.zip

Boot the device with the reset-button pressed (located in bottom of the AV 3.5mm connector)

TWRP should now boot instead of normal image

Normally I only restore Boot, System and Data partitions so try that first. I included all partitions in the backup in case you messed up everything in your box. I have never restored all partitions so far so the result is uncertain....

The backup is not the stock image but an updated Kodi setup with a simple user interface. If you want the real stock firmware then press the reset button while turning it on (without the SD card inserted) and do a factory restore.
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] TopperBG:
The same inventory like me ;)

I'm happy with the both devices too!

One clarification only - you said that we can use TWRP written on d SD card ONLY? Is that means we can use TWRP tools w/o flashin' it on the device (and potentially brick it) ?
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] pelle900gli:
Yep, no need to change the recovery partition to use the TWRP tool for Backup/Restore. It bools nicely from the SD card standalone. Perfect imaging tool :D
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] TopperBG:
Wow, thank for d info!
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] Bruur:
Thanks for the images and the info!

So I can use TWRP to back up and restore full OpenELEC images too? I never knew it was so elegant and simply loading from SD :laugh:

Hello All! New to this Thread, I am not here because I plan to use this for a TV box to watch TV with, I've been looking at some of the better android boxes for a project at work, I like the specs of this MXIII-G 2/16Gb box released in March 2016 seems like it handles apps really good, its stable, It also seems to me (I haven't read though this thread yet) that this series of device seems pretty well known and people are modding them putting different ROMS add-ons and stuff, A popular device series? I like to see activity on threads, most that I have been posting to are DEAD and are very out dated, I think I'm going to start a new thread based off of this device, about what I want to do with this device and ask for help, I will mention here what I'm wanting to do and see if any follow or PM me saying I can guild you its easy do this.

If I can get a guarantee it can be done I'm ordering one tomorrow and prime shipping it to the office for next week

Okay without further or do

Basically I want to make my TV touch screen, yes you heard me right, I want a big touchscreen android TV, So I can play Mine craft!

okay not really play mine craft but you get the point. So I already have what's Is in this link bellow and want to connect this to say to the MXIII-G 2/16Gb box

The touch screen controller would plug into the Android box over USB and the video would be over HDMI easy right well there is one issue and that is a driver needs to be installed first before it will work, that is where you come is, I have never done this before and need some help

this was a reply I got from support not 100% how I do this

Link to Android driver

http://www.eeti.com.tw/drivers_android.html

To install EETI Android driver, patch the kernel source is needed.

he is asking me What is the Linux kernel version of your Android?

Your Android version is 4.1.2 and rooted this is a device I already have Droid Razr XT912

he says Maybe we could check will the inbuilt HID driver work or not.

Please plug the touch screen into your Android.

Send us below results of commands:

1, dmesg

2, cat /proc/bus/input/devices

3, cat /proc/version

4, ls -al /sys/bus/hid/drivers

Thanks and Best Regards.

I quickly installed a terminal and sent him back with the information that I don't think is good based off of what I have already read all over XDA. Understand this has been attempted many times before and here I am tying to get some attention on the matter Sorry Admins I'm all over the place these passed few days.

Link to the monitor and touchscreen just to give you an idea of what it looks like and what it is.

I'm actually going do this on a 21.5" projected capacitive touch panel, just thought I would save money and start small with a resistive touch panel. as it does not cost 500$

Thank you. Is that distro with Kodi 16.1 or if it isn't - could I update to the last release?
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] Bruur:
It's a Kodi 15.2 (Isengard) build. The 16 (Jarvis) build didn't work on the box when I flashed it directly. I didn't try an upgrade though, so feel free to try it out.

My experience is that when bricked, you can always get it back into a working state.

MXIII-G 2/16GB S812 (n200) amlogic - E:cannot load volume/misc!

I have this error when i enter to recovery mode, i can successfully wipe data and wipe cache, but after all complete it says "E:cannot load volume/misc!" but the box is working just fine. BOX is MXIII-G. Should i be worried or its normal behavior for this box. I've never flashed my device, just updated OTA to 108L, after update i went to recovery to wipe data and cache and i saw the message "E:cannot load volume/misc!" I think device is prerooted!?, at start SuperSU says "Binary needs to be updated", i've updated "normal" and after that it reboots successfully to OS. Everything is working fine but i'm worried about this message.

If someone has the same device can you please go into recovery and see is there same error?

Do I need to re-flash 108L from SD card or?

---------- Post added at 05:44 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:35 PM ----------

You have then to check the version of twrp you are trying to install, and make sure you reboot the box into recovery mode, either using an app or manually by using the toothpick to press the update button(hide in the AV port hole), and at the same time, connect the power adapter*and press the power button till you see the logo and then you can release.

Note that the easiest way is to download https://play.google.com/store/apps/...+app&pcampaignid=APPU_1_fMpJV5CwOsW7asa4q3A twrp app. chose your box download twrp and follow tue instructions.

---------- Post added at 05:46 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:44 PM ----------

[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] androidtvbox:
So error "E:cannot load volume/misc!" is normal in recovery? No need to worry about...?

USB power when off

Hi guys,

Does anyone know if it is possible to stop the device from powering the USB port when I turn it off?

I have a USB hard disk connected and I'm 99% sure that it never powers down. It does so, only if I unplug the MX, which of course is not a solution..

The easiest way to install xposed

To install Xposed your don't need any custom recovery installed. Just follow the next steps and make sure you have root enabled. I tried this by myself and it's working fine. I'm using lollipop (5.1.1)

1. Download Xposed framework (xposed-v74-sdk22-arm.zip)

from:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=3034811

If using lollipop choose: sdk22/ arm/ xposed-v74-sdk22-arm.zip

2. Download official Xposed installer (XposedInstaller_3.0_alpha4.apk) (APK ONLY!) from:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=3034811

3. Install FlashFire from the Google Play Store

4. Flash Xposed framework using FlashFire. (Just use the flash .zip option. Do not check any of the boxes) (This will take a few minutes, your android tv box will reboot and will update installed apps.

5. Install official Xposed installer APK

6. You have Xposed! Enjoy!

The random reboots probabably is from a boot.img not being for 5.1 or your recovery wasnt updated. The recovery.img didnt flash.

Most devices going from 4 to 5 or 5 to 6 have special bootloaders that need updated or the boot.img needs to be flashed from a matching series 5/5 4/4 etc.

Hi guys, I would buy this box tv but first I have a question. Video image with Kodi fit well on TV HD Ready?

Settings of box was right and I tried with MX Player and others player but same problem. So I decided to return the box and I bought a WD TV Player with fortunately zero problems with video size. Now I sold it and I would to try again a box tv android. In addition to MXIII-G I was thinking to buy Himedia Q10 Pro.
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] Team DevDigitel:
Your using one of the "newer boxes" right?

You may have to wait.for a update for that box to come out or wait for others to go and backup their current roms and upload you the bootimage etc so you can flash it.

Take a look inside the Zips that you would use for a update. They have the images inside of them. They can be pulled from other versions and individual flashed to the device.
