[IMG="ubnldr.mbr failure"]http://i.imgur.com/fTJQ0CX.jpg[/IMG]

If you can't see the image, here's the link: http://i.imgur.com/fTJQ0CX.jpg

Yeah, I was running Remix OS just fine with my previous Win 10 installation (Win 10 on C partition and Remix on D)... Then I needed to reinstall Win 10 and it seems like the new installation killed a important file (ubnldr.mbr) and now I get the above screen when I try to boot Remix OS from the Windows boot manager...

So my questions are:

Is there a way of fix it WITHOUT reinstall Remix OS, since my previous Remix OS installation is still there on "D" partition untouched?

What is this "ubnldr.mbr" file?

Can I create this ubnldr.mbr file myself, if yes, what are the contents of this file?

Is this the file that points where my Remix OS installation is?

Thanks.....
[Remix OS for PC] Dunard:
Windows on C:\? If so then reinstall Windows from fresh. Don't worry about the D:\ until after you reinstall Windows. After reinstall Windows then go to your Remix OS folder and then rename it to Remix OS backup. Reinstall Remix OS and then delete the new Remix OS folder. Rename the Remix OS backup to Remix OS. Pretty easy to do. You won't lose it.
[Remix OS for PC] Regnas:
Thanks for the reply...

Yeah, seems doable that way, but I was looking for a solution that doesn't require reinstallation....

But thanks anyway.... :good:

Cheers...
[Remix OS for PC] JaredTamana:
mbr? Uh oh, sounds like part of the master boot record.

You might be able to find it, but I think it's hardware dependent. I don't know Windows well enough to inform you of anything besides that it's the master boot record. Good luck!

Looking for a Kodi box plus emulation

Can the box run Dreamcast/PS1/PSP /N64 games well?

Should I chose the new firebox or an Intel atom cherry trail small media center
[M.O.J.O. General] K-Project:
All I can say to this is I absolutely love my MOJO and would not replace it. But (there's always a but!) it can be a tough console to love and requires a bit of effort to get what you want from it. That said I would not change it and have even considered buying another as a back up.

Ultimately it does depend on what you want from it.

For me it's a brilliant one-stop place for my movies and games. I use KODI but I don't stream with it (though I am led to believe the box does this well) but instead have my personal media on an external drive along with my retro games. I flashed the console with UJD's Cyanogenmod 12.1 and have tailored it further still with the Top TV Launcher from the Play store. There have been some minor bumps along the way but I have resolved everything that I had problems with.

I would recommend not paying too much for one now if it can be avoided. I paid £60 brand new for mine and that is about right considering the required effort needed to get it running sweetly. I certainly wouldn't pay over £100 that some are trying to charge on eBay for second hand units.

As for emulation it is imho the best box I have bought for it. Some of the emus need a bit of work but they won't suffer because of anything the MOJO does wrong. N64 runs extremely well on both Retroarch and Mupen FZ Edition. I also recently installed Drastic which is amazing too. Dreamcast emulation is very old but still runs OK via Reicast. PSX is spot on, though I haven't tried PSP. The only downside with emulation here is the D-pad on the CTRLR. It is very stiff. I've gotten used to it but occasionally on fighting games it drives me nuts!
[M.O.J.O. General] sutty86:
Wow fantastic response they are going for £60 ATM

Roughly same as fire box TV ,

Also could add extra and get a Intel atom cherry trail for £80

Nvidia shield is the bee knees but is around 150 which I don't have.
[M.O.J.O. General] Drakey83:
I'd say no, support for it is pretty much dead and current custom roms are fairly buggy.
[M.O.J.O. General] K-Project:
I've had no issues with CM 12.1 personally. It has been extremely stable and problem free for me. The only thing I've heard is Netflix doesn't work, but I don't need that myself. If you do use it, you may wish to consider something else. Similarly, I don't have a 4K set, just a fairly standard 1080p TV. I don't know how the MOJO works with 4K, and I suspect you'd need to look elsewhere for that.

I came to this box from the OUYA, the Raspberry Pi (3), and I also had a Minix Neo U1. They are all compromises one way or the other. Even the Nvidia Shield is in some ways. Stuff may work on one but not the other, options may be available on that box but not on the other box. The compromises with the MOJO worked out better for me than the compromises the other boxes offered.

I'm not trying to convince you to buy one. If you have the money I'd say get the Shield as people seem to love it, and the MOJO is not a Shield replacement. What it is to me is a great game console and media player that I have tailored to suit me over time, and at this point I would not swap it out for anything else.
[M.O.J.O. General] sutty86:
Just got the mojo on ebay for 35 delivered

So looks like it should be coming Tuesday.

Cm12 best option
[M.O.J.O. General] K-Project:
CM 12.1 I would say personally, but you might want to try them all and see which works best for you. You can't really brick the MOJO once the recovery is installed. The files you'll need are around the forums somewhere. You might like the stock OS, who knows?

£35 all in? That's absolutely excellent. Even if you don't like it, for that price you can sell it on again and not lose anything.

I personally followed this guide to install the OS. It says it's for Remix but it helps with all of them. If you have any trouble I'm sure a good search around here will set you on your path. Chances are someone else will have experienced the same problem and posted here.

Once it's installed, first thing I would do is install a shutdown button as otherwise you'll just be unplugging to switch it off. I hate that myself, it can't be any good for the system. I use Quick Reboot Pro, but I think there's a free version. Also as I mentioned before I would try Top TV Launcher too. Many people do not like the stock Android interface on their TV's. I don't either tbh but I could cope with it, but Top TV Launcher is much better and nicely customisable once you know how it works. If you do decide to use CM 12.1, root is in the developer options.

Yes £25 pound won the bid but a tenner postage and packaging.

Thank you for the tips

Is it easy enough to add extra controllers i.e Xbox pad (i have adapter) and Bluetooth pads

Looking forward to Mario kart and fzero
[M.O.J.O. General] K-Project:
You can add other pads for two player but to be honest you'll be using the CTRLR as the main controller for the system. You'll likely be better off with Bluetooth pads for multi player gaming (though the only one of those I've tried is the retail CTRLR) as the stock pad included uses up one of the two USB ports provided. This can be a pain if you use the other USB for storage, so you'll have to use a Bluetooth pad as a second controller rather than a wired one. Also I would note that the SD card slot is only really useful for installing OS's. If you try to use it when your new OS is installed it will mess up your wifi (i.e - it won't work). Just reserve the SD card slot for installation purposes only and don't use it as storage. It's a shame but there it is. Unless you stick with the stock OS where I believe it works fine.
[M.O.J.O. General] sutty86:
Thanks for the heads up so if i want to add external storage another usb way is the way forward.
[M.O.J.O. General] K-Project:
Yes that would be my recommendation. On mine I have the stock CTRLR in one USB (the 3.0 one) and my external 2Tb hard drive in the other. I've recently started using my retail CTRLR and this does not require a dongle. It's freed up a USB port but I don't really have anything to plug into it anyway beyond a wired pad for two player games.

I hope you enjoy it tbh, but I know people have been this way before and really disliked it. A lot of this was to do with the stock Android OS on a big TV, which is why I recommended the TV launcher above. But also a lot of folks just didn't like having to deal with it in such a manual way. Like I say I paid £60 for mine so could afford to be philosophical about it, as can you I suppose at £30. I suppose those who paid £200 upwards won't be as forgiving, and I would not have been either all told.
[M.O.J.O. General] sutty86:
Well maybe i have bought a dud my own fault for not reading listing ,

As it was sold as used and not for spares or repairs

Unable to copy and paste but basically the seller maybe from here as apprantly he's gone to flash android tv and basically the unit goes into some sort of boot loop , he mentions 4 coloured balls.

Can I recover this ?
[M.O.J.O. General] timjharvey:
You most likely can recover this, unless it's a hardware issue. Search through the forums, there is a key combo to get into the recovery menu from boot up... it's something like CTRL-ALT-PRNT SCREEN-I. Failing that there is also the USB AtoA cable which will put you into fastboot mode on bootup, from there you can flash it with whatever you like.

Personally i like the Remix OS image... very stable, everything works including Netflix... I use my MOJO as a Moonlight streaming device that i stream all my Steam games to my TV with, then play from the comfort of my couch :victory:

Enjoy!
[M.O.J.O. General] K-Project:
AH! This may be the same listing I was following for a short time. Yes the owner had tried to flash it himself but got stuck with it and didn't know what to do next. I was going to buy it as a backup (I've always got my eye out for a backup!).

It could be a hardware fault but personally I'll be amazed if you can't rescue it one way or the other. The MOJO is incredibly friendly to users and is (I'm told) difficult to actually brick. Unless it is a hardware issue, I don't think you'll have any bother installing TWRP recovery and then installing your chosen OS. There are more than enough quality guides on this site as long as you follow them closely.

I did try Remix myself and loved it. I would have stuck with it, but unfortunately it did not play nicely with my NTFS formatted 2Tb external drive. I had to install Paragon NTFS, but even then when playing back my media files using KODI the playback was a mess of jitter and stutter. No such issue with CM 12.1 - it recognises the drive no problem and playback is silky smooth. YMMV. :)
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Pierre2324:
As the title says, will the next android updates work on 32 bits devices or not? Custom roms support? I think gapps will only be 64bits for android O Am I wrong? I'm looking for a new cellphone should I go with a 64 bit for futureproof I wanted the nexus 6 but its 32bits...What should I do?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MigoMujahid:
I don't think that at all, new phones will include 32 and 64 bits devices, new android O should be released as open source and can be ported to any of them, also gapps will remain supporting of 32 and 64 bits devices.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Pierre2324:
Are you sure some people say that android O and gapps are only for 64bits based on the dev preview 1

[P3600 ROM Development] sfaguy:
I had a problem with the password TWICE!! my P3600 does not recognize my password after i power off and on the device. i had to do a hard reset in order to use the device again, then i'd lost all my data. i am a Apple user so i did not back it up, actually i do not know how to sync my WM6 with my Apple.

now i do not use the password in fear that it may happen again. is this a bug with WM6? apparently a few people have experience this as well.
[P3600 ROM Development] Lost_in_translation:
Hi,

it's a problem which happens if the device is reset before the change in the registry is written into the flashrom.

Turn the device off by holding the powerbutton down for about 10s, then you should be fine.

LIT
[P3600 ROM Development] sfaguy:
i did not power off/on, or reset, the device right after i created the password. the password was working fine when the device goes into the sleep mode. in fact, i am sure the password was fine as well when i power off/on a couple of times. it just seems to happen randomly without a pattern.

your suggestion seems logical enough, but i know for sure it was LONG enough for it to update the registry.
[P3600 ROM Development] rjefferis:
Good, someone else with this problem. I posted this in Shaps rom thread on Monday but got no reply.

I flashed a standard WM5 Orange M700 up to Schaps new rom.

First i sim unlocked it.

Then hard SPL

Then flashed the ROM

Got everything set up and must have rebooted a few times in different ways after setting the password and then 1 time it just wouldnt accept the password.

Hard reset, did everything again and same thing. I set the password the first thing when i first booted the device this time though and since that i must have reset about 5 or 6 times without problem when installing things like Random Access and stuff you obviously have to reboot. Then again after half an hour or so after another soft reset and it locks me out.

I flashed to a dif WM6 rom after this and i havent heard that there has been an issue yet.
[P3600 ROM Development] sfaguy:
well, at least this is not a problem for you so far with WM6. i have WM6, ROM verions: 3.00.707.17, ROM date: 6/29/07
[P3600 ROM Development] R3PUBL1K:
take a look @ Markspace.com
[P3600 ROM Development] rjefferis:
It was with WM6 that i was having the problem, it was Schaps latest WM6 ROM.
[P3600 ROM Development] sfaguy:
thanks for th info. too bad it costs $39.99 just to sync it with Mac. I was hoping there is a free software out there.
[P3600 ROM Development] tjlabais:
try the official 3.00.707.18 from Australia New Zealand version. I haven't got this problem, since.
[P3600 ROM Development] tjlabais:
there is a free one. just go to sourceforge.net and search for it. i forgot what the name was...
[P3600 ROM Development] sfaguy:
i go to the site you mentioned, there is one called Mac-Pocket PC Sync, but i do not know how to download it. would you give me some idea about how to do that. i would really appreciate that.
[P3600 ROM Development] tjlabais:
okay. I just reread your first post... you said you were not able to back up data...

for me, I use PIM Backup by dotFred because it backs up the PIM on storage card, and can be restored on any WM version using the same program. (i.e. between wm5 and wm6) PIM data would be contacts, messages, call logs, calendard, etc.

if you'd really need to sync your pocket-pc to mac, you can see this

http://www.eltima.com/products/syncmate/

the one at sourceforge is still under development...
[P3600 ROM Development] sfaguy:
thanks for the info. i just downloaded this free software. i can now sync my contact & calendar between my Mac and WM6.

i really appreciate your help!
[P3600 ROM Development] sfaguy:
hey again,

i downloaded syncmate a few weeks ago, it works great. then today, it says my beta version expired and i should go to www.eltima.com to get the newer version. i tried but with no luck. i downloaded what appears to be the latest, yet whenever i start it up, i get the expired error again.

do you have any more info on this software? or anyone in this forum use this software to sync between Mac ans WM6?

[P3600 ROM Development] sfaguy:

[Huawei Mate 9 Questions & Answers] Paz9:
any way to enable adoptive storage on the mate 9? i have a 128gb memory card id like to use to extend my internal memory if possible

or at least be able to move apps to the sd card, cant believe its not natively supported...
[Huawei Mate 9 Questions & Answers] Seyley:
It is natively supported.

Have you tried to add data like a jpeg or Mp3? Then add the card to the phone? At first when I did mine, I THOUGHT I couldn't find it... But it was a case of looking in the right settings location...
[Huawei Mate 9 Questions & Answers] Paz9:
as in in settings > memory > default location? ive got mine set to sd card, i was wondering if we can add apps there too.
[Huawei Mate 9 Questions & Answers] bimmerboii:
My understanding is that adoptive storage will combine the phone's internal storage together with the sd card you have. So it's 64gb internal storage + (say) 64gb sd card. The new amount of storage you will see should be 128gb. That's how adoptive storage should work.

In my Mate 9 i dont see this setting. External storage is still used as "portable storage". It should be natively supported in Android 6.0 and above, but i do not think it is implemented in the Mate 9
[Huawei Mate 9 Questions & Answers] Paz9:
thank you, i guess theres no way to make this work natively (without using adb but that might break things)
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mclardass:
I've been very happy with MM on my N6 and still get great battery life and performance. I'm comfortable with ROMs/mods and my phone is pretty much where I want it in terms of functionality and UI. After months of debate, I'm still unsure if it's worth moving to Nougat (and not impressed with O preview either). I'm so unconvinced that I don't even feel like investing the time in testing 7.x particularly after reading posts of battery or compatibility issues. I'm not trying to be "stuck in the past" but just don't see a convincing reason to update.

The last dedicated thread I saw on MM vs N was from Oct 2016, any new opinions since then?
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] alex.o:
I'm thinking about moving back to MM because of the terrible battery life and performance on nougat.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Castanoff:
In the same boat. MM seems to give me better battery life but Nougat seems a little bit more snappier.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Note10.1Dude:
I've only been on 7.0 for a couple of weeks, but no complaints.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 5.1:
Hey... Flashed Pure Nexus with EX Kernel as soon as its nougat iteration appeared and never looked back. Well I can't really compare about battery life as my phone is now 2 years old. Still it performs very well, nothing to complain about. Screen on time is the same and standby is better on Android 7 i think. Of course stock firmware is not as polished as it should, but custom ROMs are here to change that. I don't need that much mods on my phone anymore except theme, ad blocker, theme ready apps and maybe a few other things.

What kind of incompatibility issues are you talking about?

Well, I understand you don't want to waist your time , but it's just a matter of backup/flash/test. You won't loose anything and if you don't like it, you can always revert back to MM anyway. I think a weekend is more than enough to decide if it's worth it for you or not.

I usually prefer testing things myself and not based on people statements. Because everyone has his tastes and they unlikely match mines... :)

Cheers...
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] angourakis:
I'm on 7.1.1 stock with Franco Kernel, encryption disabled and F2FS filesystem.

No problems with stability, lags or battery life. In fact, I usually get around 5h+ of screen on time, which is pretty good for a 2 years old phone.

Usually, battery life and stability are user fault. Of course we can't say everything is related to users... But if you configure correctly your apps permissions, don't install anything out of the play store and don't do things like undervolting... You should be good to go.

[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mclardass:
I'd have to go back and look at the threads I've read, the only thing I recall being a deal-killer was not being able to use net.tethering under Nougat (is that still an issue)? I've been very happy with Pure (MM) with Franco on my other devices but have kept stock on my N6. I agree with testing it out myself, just need to find some time, but generally trust opinions on XDA.

Phone has been solid for years and rooted with Nova, adaway, lightflow, multiwindow, and tethering has met my needs. Maybe I'm just being lazy or in a rut but definitely would like something more revolutionary to encourage the upgrade.

Thanks for the input everyone, gives me a lot to think about.

[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mclardass:
Couple of days with stock 7.1.1 and so far it's fine, nothing that made me thrilled with the update but nothing that makes me want to roll back. Can't say it's snappier than MM or has better battery life, though. Enabled tethering using the usual net.tethering entry as well as 'settings put global tether_dun_required 0' so nothing lost there. Guess if this is the last, full-point update for my beloved N6 I can live with it (until I find an annoyance I can't stand and flash Pure or something else).

Thanks again for everyone's input!

Bought my N6 used back in September. I still have official 7.0 My device has never stuttered or slowed down (outside of extremely low battery and high CPU apps). I have a lot of apps installed, I use it hard, and run some demanding apps (like raw photo conversion) on occasion. And I just clocked 3+ days of battery use with nearly 7 hours of SOT under a variety of uses. I can't imagine not using N on this device.
