I'm not familiar with Malaysk ROM but he does provide nice documentation of his modifications. Both are Android 5.1. This ROM is really just factory firmware converted to Android TV. With Aptoide TV app installed and ATV Google Play store you have the option of installing and running mobile and Android TV app versions which for a TV box is beneficial.

[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] MrSpeedy96:
Any idea how to flash this firmware without using the USB-to-USB method?

Like making flashable .img and update from bootloader...
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] stane1983:
Nope :(

Look here for reference:

http://www.stane1983.com/index.php/2015/05/05/burning-img-file-to-amlogic-m8-devices-using-sdcard/

Additional, you can use sdcard or usb. If your ini file is aml_sdc_burn.ini, uboot command for burn with sdcard is:

sdc_burn aml_sdc_burn.ini

for usb burn:

usb_burn aml_sdc_burn.ini

Bummer. I guess we wait for Amlogic to finish Oreo SDK and see if they are still willing to fix S905 Nougat playback issue. Maybe you could ask your Amlogic contact if they would include S905 support in Oreo SDK? ;)

On a related topic, would you be able to see if the DTV app from KII Pro (S905D) will load on your (S905) Nougat test ROM? If that loads, at least that would resolve the issue of a missing DTV app.

Tried to install Amazon Prime Video ATV but not work, also Now TV (Sky) crashed.
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] mr3p:
Amazon Prime ATV will not work on any Android TV device except Nvidia Shield TV and maybe a few Android TV like Sony. Most, not all, subscription services apps like Amazon Prime and Netflix require Widevine L1. The KII Pro only has Widevine L3. Mobile (Non-ATV) versions of many of the apps will work but be limited to 480p. I have a subscription to Eurosport which I forgot I need to try.

i have succesfully flash this firmware into my kII pro. using 0412217 firmware. however there is no internet connection in my box. wether on LAN or WIFI. could somebody please enlighten and help me. tq in advance

Test original firmware

https://mega.nz/#F!WEcAXQ5A!OdBw2jdBI2KsMOs6cWTOnA
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] mr3p:
In case anyone is interested, I loaded an Android 6 ROM (modified from a different device) on KII Pro and installed the DTV app from Magicsee C300 TV Box however after launching the app it displays and error message no tuner found. I may try a couple of different MM ROMs but I suspect the result will be the same as I think we need an updated kernel for the KII Pro?
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] stane1983:
Besides apk, you have libth*.so files inside system/lib folder that needs to match apk. Also, aml template app source checks android sdk when started. Same is doing VS app probably. There are also kernel modifications from VS side where they added their dvb drivers. Aml changed standard dvb subsystem in linux kernel to match their 'solution'.
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] mr3p:
So if I understand you correctly, without support for kernel modifications from VS we aren't likely to be able to get DTV app running on MM or Nougat? Assuming the new KII Pro (S905D) is nearly identical hardware, is it possible to use kernel from that ROM to add needed DVB driver support?
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] stane1983:
Most likely not. 905 is GXB platform while 905X, 905D and so on are GXL which have for example different GPIO definitions. You can try replacing device tree and repacking kernel but it's unlikely to work.
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] mr3p:
Yep, tried that and didn't work :( So I guess without assistance looks like 5.1 end of the road with support for DVB tuners. Out of curiosity did VS just flake out or say they weren't interested in assisting?
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] fad2061:
Hi mr3p,

how i can switch apps from remote control wit your rom??
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] mr3p:
Are you saying that your remote control doesn't work? To access non-Android TV apps you click on the appdrawer button (circle with 6 dots) on home screen. There are ATV apps you can install which allow you to put non-Android TV app on the home screen next to ATV apps.
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] mr3p:
[MENTION=3193157]stane1983[/MENTION] - before throwing in the towel, could you try reaching out to Acemax ( support@acemax.net.cn ) ? I know they are the same device and the result might be the same but at this point we seem to be out of options.
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] stane1983:
I'll try but 99% it's dead end. Acemax as it seems is just reseller. Eg. their MXq, MXq Pro 4K, HF10 and M18N are Shiningworth products, KII and KIII are VideoStrong, X96 seems to be Beelink product...
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] mr3p:
Yes, that's what I figured but who knows, maybe someone there has access to source code. I'm thinking of reaching out one more time to my contact at VS but can I ask in your communication with VS engineer did they just say they weren't interested in assisting?

WIFI doesnt work

Dude, your firmware has a seriously problem with wifi and network. Please, could you check this? Remember there is two driver WIFI to KII, in the other rom from Malaysk you can find it. :confused:
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] mr3p:
W-iFi drivers are there and my Wi-Fi and ethernet were working but I think I might know the issue. Can you try this ROM and tell me if Wi-Fi works better?

[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] stane1983:
VS uses 2 revisions of Broadcom chip with same ID (BCM4335). Difference is in revision. 1st is bcm4339a0 (used in Ampak modules) and 2nd is bcm4335b0 (module without metal shielding that can be seen on Ampak modules). This is detected by kernel (VS modification) and read by libhardware_legacy library (/sys/module/gxbb_pm/parameters/wifi_type). If read value is 1 then wifi module is bcm4335b0, otherwise it's standard AP6335.
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] mr3p:
Thanks stane1983. As someone else also msg'd me about Wi-Fi issues, the test ROM above reverted back to the April kernel, which as far as I know Wi-Fi worked fine, and has support for 4335, 6255 and 6355. Until your post I was unaware that 4339 was used.

Thanks everyone.

I will inform you the status once the USB cable arrive next week...
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] stane1983:
I'm jumping in little late. All that guys told you might work but since you flashed wrong firmware and you don't have any output on hdmi, most probably your box is hard bricked which means you will have to short emmc pins to force usb burning mode because bootloader you flashed is crashing and it will never reach point where it detects your reset button. To do that, open your box (for screws - standard Philips screws see screws.png). When you opened box, short eMMC pins 6 and 7 before connecting USB (see 2nd picture). Red circle shows you where engraved dot is on chip which represents chip orientation. When device is detected by your computer, remove short and burning tool will do rest. For this method you don't need reset button to be pressed.

And also, this method works for all hard-bricked aml devices.
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] MrSpeedy96:
Just to be clear, is this the procedure?

1. Short pins 6 and 7.

2. Connect USB.

3. Power on the box.

4. When PC detect the USB, remove the short.

Also, can give me a clearer picture on where pin 6 and 7 is?
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] stane1983:
No, box will be powered on via USB cable automatically. So you don't need step 3. And don't use power supply.

About pins, count them :) Based on picture, pin number 1 is in top right corner of chip. So, you have:

1

2

3

4

5

6 \
Short these pins
7 /

[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] mr3p:
Great pics and info on pins, thanks stane1983. MrSpeedy96 definitely may need to follow your instructions to recover. I have flashed my KII Pro hundreds of times and probably more luck than anything I have not corrupted the bootloader beyond recovery. I did open the box on 2 occasions expecting to have to short the eMMC pins however was eventually able to recover without doing so. You might try this method as well.

Netflix Android TV app will not work because it requires Widevine L1. The KII Pro (S905) only has Widevine L3. You can install Netflix mobile/tablet app version from Aptoide and it should work although will be limited to 480p.

[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] pgquiles:
I purchased a KII Pro from GeekBuying a month ago and it came with Android 7.1.2 and Widevine L1.
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] mr3p:
That is because you purchased a new KII Pro. Videostrong replaced the S905 processor in the KII Pro with S905D which allowed them to add Widevine L1 support and update the OS to 7.1. As if updating the processor without changing the name isn't confusing enough, the KI Pro and KII Pro now both use S905D however the KI Pro has DDR4 memory and GbE whereas new KII Pro has DDR3 and 10/100 ethernet. They also supposedly have different WiFi modules. Third party software support for the new KII Pro will likely also lag compared to KI Pro. Currently both devices are priced about the same. Congrats on your purchasing decisions ;)

[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] jonathanrobertbolton:
Perhaps is supposed to be this way, but I have noticed that my backlight won't turn off when plugged in - even though set to turn off after 2 minutes when plugged in. Instead of turning off, it seems to revert to a dim mode - but the light still remains on. I have to manually turn it off. Any thoughts?
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] RemE:
That's what it does. Unless the phone is off, the display can't be turned completely off. This is because the screen is not transreflective.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] jonathanrobertbolton:
I understand that, but the trouble is that the backlight remains on. Surely that's not supposed to happen, right?
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] andaroo:
no, thats not normal behaviour.

do you have anything running in the background? its sometimes a good idea to go into the settings and untick the boxes, soft reset the device, then put the settings back the way you want them. This has worked for me in the past.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] daystrom:
Are you talking when the device is plugged into the USB port w/ ActiveSync running? If so that is how it works - device will stay on.

If you are talking about plugged into AC then it should power off after x amount of minutes.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] RemE:
To be clear, if the phone is ON, the backlight will always be ON. This is different from the previous Hermes/8525 that had a transreflective screen which could be seen in bright light with the backlight off.

The Kaiser/Tilt's don't have transreflective displays so they changed the backlight control to dim instead of OFF. When the display brightness slider is put to minimum or the display timer expires the display just dims.

Pressing the power button and going to standby is the only way to turn off the display that I'm aware of.

Now, Auto Power off after a timer expire is different. If you set the power settings to turn off after 2 minutes while on A/C, the Kaiser will turn off, IF it's not connected to Active Sync, and IF there isn't some other application keeping the phone alive (Apps like iNav keep the phone alive).
