[MENTION=6810881]dipcore[/MENTION] Hey can you help me out, I think I have bricked my TV. I have a Super 3 x65.

After trying out your custom ROM, I went back to stock Indian rom downloaded from here: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1DNUE9OIojmyAtcQuj9TiyEXU73-4b6l4/view

This was version 5.0 of the ROM, after installing the ROM, the TV started and somehow I had play store installed as well, which might be due to your custom ROM being installed prior. Now after this whenever I went to update from System menu it says some lekey has stopped and didn't let me update to 5.8.

So I got the 5.8 scloud_ota_1474855344_516014839.zip and used your recovery tool to install it. Now after installing that my TV just gets stuck on logo and shuts off.

Going into the recovery menu shows this: https://cl.ly/b9e3e1706503

This means I lost access to your recovery tool as well. Now using the other recovery method Settings > Vol + > Vol - > Ch - > Ch + > Power. I again installed your recovery tool. But that's no longer working and every time I go to recovery by pressing the Vol + on TV it shown the above message "System updated failed, please click confirm to reboot". And starting TV normally gets stuck on logo and shuts down.

Please help me out.

Edit: Somehow got access to the recovery menu and first thing I tried was date/cache reset and reboot. That didn't work. System stuck on logo and restarts.

Then I tried installing update_lemod_0.0.10_alpha.zip. The same thing happens. Gets stuck at logo and powers off.

Edit 2: I installed the latest chinese rom for Super 3 X65 with EUI 6.0 and while installing it I got these errors saying "unmount of /tvservice failed; no such volume. Image: https://cl.ly/3509bc0b9b2b

Edit 3: Managed to get it to boot by installing update_lemod_0.0.10_alpha.zip, then X3-55US_5.0.053S_0105_tvservice.zip and Data/Cache reset.

Now all apps are running with a status bar at top, i.e. in tablet mode. Plex runs in tablet mode and hence isn't offering multi-channel bitstream support. If there a way to get apps to run as Android TV apps and not android tablet?

Edit 4

Please help. I tried to go back to stock firmware (from dipcore's CFW) by installing scloud_ota_1474855344_516014839.zip and followed [MENTION=2958684]satankid[/MENTION] https://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=73927782&postcount=224

Now my tv starts automatically and shows black screen. I'm not even able to enter the key combination to enter restore mode. Please someone help me.

Edit 5:

It sure feels like I'm talking to myself at this point but happy to report that I've found a solution for the "stuck on black screen" issue.

Apparently there is another key combo which allows you to enter bin flashing mode.

1. Turn off the tv using the side button.

2. Insert USB with LetvUpgrade928.bin at it's root.

3. Press and keep holding the ok button on side of TV.

4. Turn on tv using side button.

5. Keep holding ok until you see the bin flashing screen.

Trying to load stock bins failed for me. The 3rd time I flashed 'dipcore's recovery bin' and that booted me into recovery mode from there I went ahead and installed update_lemod_0.0.10_alpha.zip, then X3-55US_5.0.053S_0105_tvservice.zip and Data/Cache reset.

So far at least I have a usable TV, all my attempts at going back to stock Indian rom have failed miserably. I now plan on sticking with his CFW and hope dipcore works on updates for Super 3 series.

Long story short, DO NOT INSTALL THIS CFW (as of v0.0.10) while the dev has done commendable work on this CFW, there is absolutely no documentation and no good guide, also it's not initially apparent that apps will run in tablet mode (with always visible status bar at top) only which defeats the purpose of using it on a TV.
