Have you flash the latest twrp for Nougat, Sir.

Your bootloader have corrupted, just download and reflash your firmware with default recovery.

The problem was not the .zip file, is how you flash it. I ended up having the zip file on a memory stick, and after watching a youtube video, i managed to start the box into recovery and flash it properly.

---------- Post added at 03:48 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:17 PM ----------

Did you manage to sort out a 3rd party launcher? I'm in the same boat, it will only start with the built in launcher.

Starting to get very fed up with this box, nothing seems to work properly starting with the sat tuner which is the selling point.
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] luptakt:
install this

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.SystemCleanup.Inteks.org

box has some poor root, with this or similar app, you'll be able to disable VSLauncher, uninstall isn't required. after, when you set your launcher as default, it will start automatically on next boot.
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] vvv1vvv:
Thanks for the tip, i had VSlauncer disabled before with titanium backup, but the box didn't like it one bit - error after error. Got sorted after reboot. I'm worried the box won't work at all if i disable it.
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] luptakt:
if you have other launcher already installed then there is nothing to worry, just push home at remote, it will ask you which launcher to use, but VSLauncher won't be present anymore. If you disabled the VSLauncher with System Cleanup, it won't show in launchers list. so while selecting new launcher, confirm with "always" button. I almost pissed myself too when I was about to did it 1st time. ;)

then I bricked my Kiii when I wanted to change the permissions for USB HDD, as Android 7 has it done different way, and 2nd time I changed the launcher to 3rd party after I re-flashed. so it definitely works.

anyway, regarding your feelings about the Kiii, you're right, it's piece of Chinese ****. when the tuner overheats, the colors are messed in DTV, but then what do you want for $100?
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] vvv1vvv:
Managed to disable the native lanucher, thanks again.

I totally agree with your 4 star award :) it's just that i have another box (beelink gt1) that was $50 and twice as good. Got this as an upgrade to gt1 hoping to replace the vu+ sat receiver, but the tuner on K3 is only able to find about 100 channels on Astra, while the Vu+ tuner gets well over 1000.
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] teltras:
I got more than 1000 channels on astra with K3, you must be doing something wrong.

If box is runnig hot buy a fan and problem solved.

I have a Gigablue UHD Quad and this K3performs very well indeed.
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] luptakt:
I either haven't got 100 channels problem. Tuner is bad, especially when overheated, and for sure less sensitive then professional tuner in vu+, but you must definitely be able to tune all channels that you tune with vu+. I'd guess that your dish isn't fine positioned, or you probably have smaller than 80cm dish, and this is minimum for HD channels to work fine with bad weather and so. sometimes older dish could be bend as well.

anyway, I'm not trying to blame you or your dish, people here report full range of weird issues...
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] teltras:
Tuner is fine. it works well on dvb-s dvb-t and dvb-c, I tested it no problems, no channels missing.

I have a friend with this receiver with a 60cm dish he never complaint about it.

Like i said earlier, buy a small fan 1 or 2 eur and connect it to one of the usb ports, no more overheating.

[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] bandario:
Just in case this helps anyone else: I had similar problem because I had flash Celeron Rom which changed the hardware ID to mbox or something like that. I tried editing the required lines in updater-script but still could not get it to flash through TWRP, it had another error.

In the end I downloaded the stock android 7.0 rom from MECOOL and used TWRP to reboot to stock recovery. From stock recovery I was able to flash the stock 7.0 MECOOL rom, then from there dirty flash to version 4 of this awesome rom.

So far I am EXTREMELY impressed! Picture quality seems worlds better than Celeron rom or stock, sound quality is amazing, WIFI signal is no longer dropping out all the time and overall it just works better!

I haven't tried the TV tuner functionality just yet, but terrarium TV, Netflix (installed via APK) and Kodi all work fine. Very happy, great job!

---------- Post added at 06:50 AM ---------- Previous post was at 06:43 AM ----------

I had the same problem.

There is a copy of TWRP on page 11 that works. Place the recovery.img on to a USB stick in the root folder, and put your ROM files in another folder on the SD card.

Hold reset button, power on and when the light on your USB starts flashing, you start pressing the reset button intermittently. This got me into TWRP.

I couldn't actually flash anything from TWRP using this method, but I was able to boot to stock recovery, from there you can get back to stock rom, then dirty flash this rom latest version from update menu of the TV box.

Hope this helps.

but without tvheandend

To convert Android tv to normal use other launcher

You have several here

And for playstore use apkpure or aptoid
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] mdrodge:
I've been trying to kill the leanback launcher on this the ATV rom for months.

I can't do it.

Also chrome is a pain (you can't use air mouse)

Youtube is similar (but I've swapped it)

I want a "normal play store"

I need a notification bar, snowball is ok but i don't like it.

I can't even begin to address the real problems i have doing every day tasks like getting kodi setup as i want without a customised UI like I've had in every other china box I've had.

I just want a stock rom with tvheadend.

I have used malasik on this and other devices and found them to be extremely good.

Not sure why he wouldn't want TVHeadend on a rom for this device.

I thought the main advantage of a device like this was it's tv tuner otherwise you could just buy nVidia Shield (yes that's also ATV but stock is available and also leanback launcher is much easier to disable on that stock ATV ROM)

I have a few launchers installed and set up but no way to make them default.

I've used Disable Service and System App remove to disable or remove anything related to leanback launcher but still it lives.

It all works i guess but i don't like it and it takes for ever to do anything.

I actually download apps on my phone then push them to my server so i can download them from that to sideload to this box.

It was much easier on the Wetek but i needed the 912 cpu so the synology ds cloud app didn't just hog all my cpu and give me video stuttering.
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] algdu83:
The rom is rooted? If yes, for remove leanback launcher use link2sd and remove it or juste desable

Or remove it in system/priv-app/ remove the folder “LeanbackLauncher”

[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] mdrodge:
Lol. I was actually reading that a minute ago.

Yes i will try that.

It will be difficult on such a restricted rom though.

Example google play lists 0 browsers.

(WTF)

I guess this will be an all nighter and still not fix the underlying issue.

What does your build prop say ??? I could set it to match that.

---------- Post added at 01:06 AM ---------- Previous post was at 12:07 AM ----------

Why would changing the build.prop from location=ru-RU to =en-US brick the rom???

I hadn't even worked out what to change the rest to as it says user=vitmod, device=k3pro so i guess only the use will have changed but I'm not sure that vitmod would be considered official enough to allow access to leanback so now I'm even more confused and right back at square 1.

It takes hours to set up tvheadend and during that time my sky box needs to be unplugged or it hogs the channels.

Kodi to OMG.

even after all of this it's still a stab in the dark to get a rom i don't want to limp along.

---------- Post added at 01:12 AM ---------- Previous post was at 01:06 AM ----------

But yes deleting from system/priv-app dose fix the launcher.

The rom is still not English and changing it in build.prop has so far caused soft brick needing a reflash via an intel pc (I'm team red)(only wifes the old celeron laptop will help)

---------- Post added at 01:26 AM ---------- Previous post was at 01:12 AM ----------

The build prop will need changing somehow to fix the play store but i don't know what I'm doing there and clearly broke it doing something the seems perfectly fine to me.

After that there is still an issue with the way apps like chrome get there controls meaning you can't actually use them (maybe something to do with touch control being disabled ((wild guess)) )

Then another file needs modifications to give me a notification bar that is normal and let's me see what apps are trying to tell me.

After all that i can see what i was trying to look at... the KODI version VITMOD (witch seems to be Kodi 18 but i think i is time to update and the only way to do that is to remove and replace but i did that and it's actually not that simple.

Anyway it's late and i have to unbrick this thing now so I'll be back to ask the same question in a few months when I'm back up and limping. (I guess I've figured out the apk from priv-app ? )
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] algdu83:

I ask only 1 question.... can someone add tvheadend to stock android.

Now it's to late...

You tell me to modify the rom now it's hard bricked.

So my luck has run out.

The k3 is nearly as bad as the k1 and wetek play 2.

It gets nearly as hot and the software out of the box doesn't do enough to support the device.

If malask was to add TVHeadend it would be a great device but he hasn't so unless you like ATV this device doesn't work.
