I flashed V8-S68AT02-LF1V185.bin on my TCL L55P1US Tv. I am unable to flash any ROM via USB for upgrade. I am pressing the Power button on the TV before plugging in power, as usual for upgrading but it isn't working this time. Can anyone help me with this issue. My TV is dead now due to accidental deletion of system folder .

I have a CtvUpgrade.bin, mboot.bin and rom_emmc_boot.bin. I have successfully opened serial communication via UART and have shell access. I am able to unpack the BIN file on my host PC with the unpack.py tool. But I have absolutely no idea how I can flash in to the TV's system partition. Can someone guide me? Thanks in advance!

how can upgrade android with pkg file in p2us model.

[Android Software Development] IXTUS:
Hello everyone, I have a device based on mstar 6a828, there is no su file under sytem / bin, and adb does not have root permissions. After I use unpack.py to decompress, I'm tried to decrypt Mboot, but when i used extract_keys.py，i got the AES key file is 00. Can anyone help me test it?
[Android Software Development] TheScorpio32:
My TV is called Dexon UH55D24SM 55" (4K) It seems like just another rebranded Mstar TV thats based on S68AT02 Board, it has V8-S68AT02-LF1V131 firmware.

I was wondering if its possible to set HDMI TYPE: 2.0 as the default, because right now the default is 1.4 and everytime I shutdown the TV it reverts back to 1.4 and inturn that reverts back my Xiaomi Mi Box S resolution to 1080p50hz instead of 4k60Hz.

Thanks

Result of My own stupidity

I have a L43P2US with V8-s68at02-lf1v150 in India, and I was trying to use this guide as well as 4PDA to root, install Gapps, debloat as well as install Oreo (if possible - haven't yet been able to confirm from the threads if people are able to do so).

To start with, I was about to remove Deezer but while copying the remove command for the app from the guide, I didn't notice the spaces and in my mac sometimes copying a carriage return means it gets executed as soon as it runs on the terminal.

Hence, instead of executing the right commands after "tclsu", I ended up doing "rm -r /" which i assume cleared out the whole tv.

Please help me with a slightly noob-friendly guide to how to get the firmware/ROM back, atleast in the normal state. And if not, maybe I can use this state as a clean start to flash a pre-rooted, gapps installed oreo rom if anyone here can send it to me. [MENTION=6810881]dipcore[/MENTION] maybe you could help me?

Unable to flash using USB

HI Everyone,

I have gone through all the tread here about MSTar. I have TCL L55P2US having software version installed: V8-S68AT02-LF1V156

I am getting this error every time i am trying to flash via USB "The validation of update package failed nd system update failed"

I have tried all these version to install : V8-S68AT02-LF1V158, V8-S68AT02-LF1V162, V8-S68AT02-LF1V198, V8-S68AT02-LF1V185, V8-S68AT02-LF1V182

I have successfully rooted my TV after 7 days of struggle and also tried flashing using power button method but no success.

Why I am trying to update: When i start my TV it doesnot start immediately and take 20-30 mins to show home screen. no TCL boot image and sound comes.

TCL Service Guy says: My TV has faulty panel which cost me around 80% of TV cost.

Hello Experts

I have Mstar board based smart TV having MSD6A838-T8E Motherboard.

I have changed Motherboard since my Motherboard was faulted.

Now after replacing the mother, the screen on the TV is not aligned properly and also there is huaping problem which seems to be Panel mapping problem.

I have checked in factory menu (Source + 2580) and there is no option for LVDS mapping in there.

Can anyone help me how can i correct the LVDS mapping if the option is not present in settings.

Info request

dipcore hi

you seem to know a lot about Mstar based TVs . There's very little info online, let alone someone who knows..

I hope you can help desperate_me out.

I installed , in Haier TV (LE50B7000x, 1920) with T.MS608.81 mainboard, that I believe is Mstar's (MstarUpgrade.bin) , Mstar Firmware for the mainboard ( As I couldn't find Haier's original).

As a result :

1. Remote lost functionality. I can't find the code for my universal remote.

Do you happen to know it ?

or, how can I find it ?

2. Buttons changed behavior, now CH+/- acts as Vol+/- , and MOST important : no Enter/OK/Accept key ! ( stuck with chinese etc)

The only "OK" is a second click on Source menu button .

This button always pops the Source menu, thus I think it should have been the "OK" ( button #4 of 7 ) ?

Does this situation tell of a botched flash/update ?

Thank you and keep safe

[Android Software Development] M47Z:
Thanks for this awesome tool!

I have a MiTV 4S 55" (europe version, MSSP3, "machuca") based on MSTAR T22 (M7322), Android 9, treble enabled.

I got the mstar firmware bin from another xda user:

https://anonfiles.com/B2G5l8u9p5/MiTVUpgrade_6886plus_bin

(also grabbed some ota firmware zips that can be flashed in recovery, but those are not interesting here)

Xiaomi released some sources for this tv here:

https://github.com/MiCode/MiTV_OpenSource/tree/machuca-p-oss

No UART acess yet, but found "UART-over-HDMI" in factory menu and in the process of making a modded hdmi cable with the right pinout for UART.

With your tool I am able to extract the firmware bin from above. I extracted the keys as well: they are not the default mstar keys and of course I don't have private keys for those.

My goal is to root this TV. If possible I would also try out a GSI rom, as this device got treble support, so it would be a really nice start for a custom rom. Is this possible with your tools? How should I continue? I probably can't just patch boot.img with magisk and sign it with default keys, can I? Or just sign a system.img from a GSI rom with default keys? And even if this worked, how can I create a config file for my device, like those in ./configs ?

Sorry for the nooby questions, really zero experience with mstar firmware, and a bit scared of bricking my device. Any tip would help!

I'm trying to figure out a way to get HDCP protection on my Chinese Projector.

I have the stock ROM image, I've found HDCP and ci keys in the ROM.

I have enabled Widevine DRM on the device and the HDCP is constantly at unprotected.

Can anyone guide me on what I have to do with the HDCP keys to enable HDCP?

I've read through android AOSP on DRMs but they're mostly topogies and api implementations.

I can't find any useful information on the HDCP keys such as how to utilize them or how they're utilized by android.

tl;dr

I have hdcp keys, how do I enable hdcp?
[Android Software Development] rajesh4bom:
You can try this method...

1. Remove main plug.

2. Press power key continuously(key pad).

3.Then insert main plug in keeping power key pressed...and then your tv will switch on off led will blink.

You are out of burn mode.

How did I miss this all these days!!!! Thank you soo much man!. I did it and my Xbox finally shows the option to enable HDR10. It is enabled. That's the good part. But the bad part is, none of the videos triggers the HDR10 preset in settings like it does for USB videos. I've tried using Chromecast Ultra instead of Xbox and it doesn't trigger the HDR10 preset too. I'm not sure if I'm getting the HDR output without the preset. Any tips on how to fix the settings?

HDMISupportARCPort = 2;

I was using HDMI 2 for my soundbar. But I thought I was using HDMI 3, so I changed HDMISupportARCPort to 3.

Hi guys, Is there a way to upgrade 'mboot.bin' for e.g. via LAN port or other way without using UART port?

i tried to upgrade a firmware about a year ago from Android 9 to Android 11 but the TV wont start up, i guess the bootloader was too old.

I would like to try again because the old system still annoys me..

I have 'rom_emmc_boot.bin' file and 'mboot.bin' file included with an11 upgrade, and oryginal files from the manufacturer as my backup.

As i read in the mstar mboot guide, may it be possible to do it via 'tera term' app??

But I don't know this application and there is no more explanation on how I would do it.

any ideas?

Thanks
[Android Software Development] dipcore:
You need to connect RX, TX and GND only. GND can be connected to any ground pin on your TV. You can use pin 5 or 10 on VGA (both are GND), if you want.

Do not use 5.0V, 3.0V (keep them non connected) !
