Customization

If I flash the stock firmware will it remove their kodi version and addons? That's what I want to do. Or are there any ROMs for this custom or vanilla android.

Thanks

did it support drm widevine?
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] silashack:
I got one of these and the FIRST thing I did was flash it to run Libreelec as that's what I want to use it for, first from SDcard and then from NAND, so now it runs just KODI, you do lose the front display and there are a few other minor niggles (being resolved by third parties)

I have tested to 4K and H265 10bit and all works great.

The firmware download is over a GB !! so I assume it will have all the associated crap in there...

If all you want to do is run KODI then I suggest you flash Libreelec to the NAND and Bob your aunties lawn mower man...

Can you tell me how to root this device
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] fabian29907:
THANKS!!

PERFECT. I'm gonna go find me a version with 15.2 right now!
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] silashack:
I thought it was?

But for my purposes it is not needed, so sorry NO

Why 15.2?

Libreelec is 16.1, not sure what openelec is.

Youtube and Netflix quality

I have this box but I can't seen to get 1080p on anything. Youtube maxes out at 360p and Netflix looks bad as well. I've tried changing the setting on the box to 1080p but that hasn't helped anything. Anyone have any ideas before I send this box back?

Hi There

I have the Sunvell T95M 4K HD TV Box 64Bit Android 5.1 - 2GB + 8GB model and am struggling to get to see the attached hard drive over my home LAN. I can ping the device successfully but cannot connect to it through Windows Explorer. Any settings on the device I need to set? Someone who can maybe point me to a proper manual.

Thanks!

Which version of Libreelec is the suitable for this?

Any tutorial available?

Yup

Hi how do you update to 16.1 on this? I have it on a USB stick but when I try to put it on through apk installer.....it just comes up as app not installed.

Tried a download of 16.1 but the same message comes up. I'm at a loss on how to put it on.
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] Brad Coare:
I updated to 16.1 through Google Play Store.

You have to uninstall 16.0 and then install 16.1, because it wont allow you to update to 16.1, for some reason.

You are right !

SORRY !
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] 8zabi:
the original T95M has S905 SoC, the new version has S905X

if you got your box with Android 5.1, then you have S905, if the factory firmware is Android 6.0, you have S905X
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] D T:
I bought mine from Gearbest it runs Android 5.1.

At the time the link of the product had a description that the box has a S905X and an Android 5.1 firmware.

The same link (now) describes the box with an Android 6.0 firmaware...

Are you sure that the above is 100%.

It is my understanding that the box with a S905X was sold up to October with an Android 5.1 and is now sold with Android 6.0.
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] 8zabi:
I bought mine on August 2, at that time this box had S905 SoC, this is the reason the Android 6.0 is not running, if you don't believe me, open your box :)

almost all S905 shipped with Android 5.1 and almost all S905X based running 6.0 (maybe once I saw an exception, not sure)
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] D T:
Taking into account that the box (with S905 SoC) is not upgreadable to Android 6 is there a way for the box to use the external SD card as an expansion for cache etc ie not as read-only ?

may i oversee some options.

Thanks for help
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] Medfordite:
For power savers etc, might want to check the system settings. I have not had that issue. Mine is a T95m from MBOX.

I have not had any real issues with it, running Kodi 17.1 on it. The box is very responsive and seems to stay cool. I only wish there was a way to dim the clock or have it show the time play left or elapsed time, but otherwise, it is good to have. When looking at the serial number of the box though in the Android settings, they got super creative :) abcdefgh123456789 Obviously, it is a cheap generic unit, but I would think it would have a true serial number.
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] jean_bruder:
Dear All,

I bought my box on gearbest too, but dunno if the SoC is a S905 or S905X ... Anyway, what I am looking for is more to have a "real" Android TV platform than having the latest firmware ... In fact, I would like to be able to use the "Remote Android TV" application on my smartphone, which seems to be only working if the box is running the TV version of Android (using Molotov is not really possible because of the remote control ... I hope that it would be easier from my smartphone ..). So, how to install the TV version of Android on this box ?

Many thanks in advance,

Regards.
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] kevin.meza:
Hello everyone, I know this is perhaps not the correct thread to ask this (becasue this is a review about the T95m S905 version I have the S905X version).

First my device type: Sunvell T95m 2GB of RAM with BT 8GB of ROM Storage with Android 6.01

My story: I got facinated with a review from a different ROM which in fact works great (Really smooth and fast) except for one important detail to me, doesnt have Bluetooth support.

So before I did this I created a backup, however I made the mistake of not checking that backup was in fact stored in my external device and so no back up of my firmware.

I have searched everywhere and so far I have not been able to find the correct firmware of this device so I am kind of desperate trying to find this firmware.

If anyone here who has stock firmware for this device, or knows a way to put BT support back in it and is kind enough to share, I would really appreciate it!

Thank you!

P700 "android.ui has stopped" is displaying all the time. Can not do anything.

Hi.

I got this phone broken and i can't fix this.

All the time there is "android.ui problem has stopped", even if i click ok, it shows again continiously.

I tried to flash a new firmware with KDZ, but even if i do this, there is still problem with that.

After flash, there is alert with "wipe data" too, but i can't read this, because alert with "android.ui..." shows immediately.

So i wanted to install CWM and then wipe the phone. But i need to turn on "usb debugging", of course i can't do this :laugh:

What should i do? Is it possible to fix this or throw out this phone?

[ZenFone 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] deksman2:
Hi everyone... I was looking into undervolting this phone (ZE551ML - 1.8 GHz if I'm not mistaken), but hadn't found comprehensive information on the topic.

Now, I'm running a Marshamallow version of Android on this phone (Ressurection Remix 5.6.7 I think).

The reason why I wish to undervolt is to increase overall efficiency of the phone when it comes to power consumption and heat production.

The phone is running fine for the most part, and it doesn't really get too hot, but its always a good idea to undervolt (been doing it on my laptop (CPU and GPU) and managed to save up quite a bit of energy and lower overall temperatures while increasing the longevity of components and maintaining (or in some cases increasing performance).

I know the effects wouldn't be as evident on a phone, but they would still result in a certain amount of benefit.

So, would it be possible to undervolt the Intel Atom CPU in this phone?

If so, could you provide detailed guide for it?

Dear XDA-developers,

Today I spend numerous hours in trying to root my xperia z3 compact.

I currently have MM 6.0.1 D5803 installed on it with 23.5.A.0.575 the netherlands T-Mobile version. I have tried the following: Kingroot, iroot, kingoroot etc but it is all not working. I also used adroid sdk and changed the fastboot driver. I am able to fast boot etc.

Could anybody help me out with rooting this device? Love to hear from you guys.

It is described here: http://xdaforums.com/z3-compact/general/how-to-root-backup-drm-keys-t3013343/page149

Basically you must downgrade to kitkat, run the rooting script and install recovery, and then install a prerooted marshmallow rom.

Similar issue in Switzerland

Hi, I actually have the same problem rooting my new Z3C in Switzerland. I know that I have to downgrade but when I flash the rom it just boot in the welcome page and the it crashes and go in bootloop.

I've tried with both:

"D5803_23.0.1.A.5.77 Android 4.4.4_Customized CE1 1288-7915.ftf"

"D5803_23.4.A.0.546 Android 5.1.1_Customized CH 1288-9528.ftf" (I know that is not the KK but I just wanted to try if it works, but no success at all even flashing a lollipop from CH)

Any ideas guys?
[Xperia Z3 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Didgesteve:
You need to follow this guide here

To answer your question you need build 23.0.A.2.93 or older, to be able to use griefroot
[Xperia Z3 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jassi0709:
Thank you for you answer. I've actually just tried with this but I get stuck in the welcome screen and then it simply continues to reboots.

I've installed this: D5803_23.0.A.2.93_Generic GLOBAL.ftf

After having a look to the firmware that I had on the phone (original and working was the 6.0.1 GLOBAL version).

All my previous phone was rooted and now I feel like in prison without a rooted xperia! ahahah
[Xperia Z3 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Didgesteve:
Then you are doing something wrong with flashtool, I used that build yesterday, then used geifroot and dual recovery, before flashing Slim 2.

you need to tick all of the wipe boxes, and none of the exlcude, or it won't work. You can't keep your data flashing to a different firmware.
[Xperia Z3 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jassi0709:
Ohhh nice, it was not mentioned that you have to check all the tick boxes! Thank you so much!

It seems to work now.

I think it would be better to emphasize this in the guide: http://xdaforums.com/z3-compact/general/how-to-root-backup-drm-keys-t3013343

I'm downloading the rom, what would you suggest me if I do really care about the battery life? Maybe the lollipop instead of Marsh-mellow because of the presence of Stamina mode in lollipop?

I guess I will just try to find the best...
[Xperia Z3 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Didgesteve:
There are only two good builds for the Z3c at the moment.

The Slim 5 which is lollipop

or the Slim 2 MM. I was sceptical about MM battery life and held back 5.1 for a long time, but now the latest roms is out, the doze function works as well or better than stamina mode. I am getting 4 days between charges now, something I could never do before
[Xperia Z3 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jassi0709:
Thank you for your answer. Really useful! I've finally managed to room and install that I wanted!

If you have such permission, I would suggest to edit the guide in: http://xdaforums.com/z3-compact/general/how-to-root-backup-drm-keys-t3013343

by adding the following:

7. Just select the name of the fw you downloaded and click on "Flash". Note: select both wipes in case you are coming from different android version.

43. Open Flashtool and select the non-pre-rooted fw (this is 23.1.A.0.690), but DESELECT system: in "EXCLUDE" make sure you check the checkbox next to "SYSTEM", flash it.

I will put this comment on the relative guide too!

I don't want to abuse of you kindness but I am currently searching for some CPU+GPU clock and voltage changer. Is there any efficient application that you can suggest me?

I haven't updated and I have plenty of devices that are rooted, but it's always usually a hassle, usually stuff breaks and not everything works. The main reason I like to root. Is to remove bloatware and change some main features. What for you guys is the selling point to root your phone?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions & Answers] GigaSPX:
I haven't done it yet, but I like to have it to increase battery life to the max and remove ads.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions & Answers] RBThompsonV:

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions & Answers] GigaSPX:
Are you referring to me or TC? I'm just telling him what I like root for and what its selling point for me is.

Even then, an iPhone still can't do as much as stock Android phones. I just haven't the time to do root on my S7 Edge because I'm still speculating on whether the bugs will be fixed and all (such as making Samsung Pay work).

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions & Answers] xocomaox:
Doesn't look like anyone is selling this person on root. I'll try.

I have rooted my phones in the past but going to stay away from it for now on the S7 Edge because of Samsung Pay.

Best reasons to root from my perspective, off the top of my head:

Titanium backup! This is one of the things I miss the most.

Xposed Modules: GravityBox (love playing and tweaking the settings), YouTube Adaway (if you don't have a Red account, use this)

Viper4Android (best audio tweaking/enhancing mod for any phone)

Liveboot (changes boot animation, love this one)

There's this thing called Lucky Patcher but you can research that on your own :P
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions & Answers] GigaSPX:
See, that's why I'm swaying my mind about root. Samsung Pay is extraordinarily versatile and it actually accepted one of my credit cards for use. I have NEVER used Samsung Pay in a real life situation yet since I haven't a need to, but I would like to keep my options opened in case I do forget my wallet and all.

Whyyyyyyy? >_<
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions & Answers] xocomaox:
You should really try it out sooner rather than later. There are such great things with root and you currently have nothing keeping you from doing it. You can always go back to stock to use SPay, but at least decide if you would like it or not.

Actually, if you live in the US, make three small purchases between now and August 2nd to get a free $10 Amazon gift card. It's the current promo going on right now. Although you may want to waif for another "First use" Samsung Pay promo where you can sometimes get decent stuff. I got a $30 eBay gift card for my first SPay use back in April.
