If i would need to bring my KII pro DVB-S/T2 back to orginial rom, is there a way after flashing to this rom? How?

EDIT: Should i just take the Amlogic USB Burning Tool v2.0.8 from here https://chinagadgetsreviews.com/download-amlogic-usb-burning-tool-v2-0-8.html

and flash the rom KII_PRO_DTV-ota-20170228.094919.V1031P3.zip from here http://www.videostrong.com/productshow.asp?id=974&sid=258 ?

[MENTION=6738515]Perru[/MENTION] - Yes, should you want to revert you can restore KII_PRO_DTV-LMY47V-20170228.094919.V1031P3.img with USB Burning Tool.

WoW - That's nice :D - I will give a test to it ASAP.

I'm not sure, but looks like there was an MM 6.0.1 from UGOOS without DTV support maybe you can take a look on this as a source base to your rom.

One of the things i'm not sure if you can fix or not ... Both K1 plus, K2 Pro, K1 pro - have DVB-S2/T2/C support ( at least on libreelec ) - but only K1 Pro(S905D) and K3 Pro (S912) - does have an APK with DTV and DVB-C support on android. While K1 Plus and K2 Pro - only support DVB-T/T2 and S/S2.

I'm not sure if it's kernel fault or drivers or something, but it will be good to have DVB-C on android as well. I miss it on Android.

On Libreelec and AlexElec ( this last one is rusian fork of libreleec and other things - with his own dtb (device tree) port ) - it works great for DVB-C/T/T2/S/S2

Also, what about the android netflix support - while on AndroidTV is it possible to have Netflix HD ?? Have you tested netflix on it ?? - i think the box can pass wildvine certification if you proper fix this....

I think for image base you can also base your work or at least extract to improve the WetekOS port.

Take a look on this:

Thanks for the links. A LOT of time has spent exploring options for updating to Android 6+. I have loaded Android 6 versions WeOS 3.x and K1 Plus however it is not without issues at this time. I have reached out to some people who who I think would be able to assist however whether they are interested is uncertain.

In order for Netflix HD to work the device needs to be Widevine L1 certified. Unfortunately the KII Pro is only L3. There is a patch which updates the K1 Pro to Widevine L1. If a modified K1 Pro ROM were loaded on KII Pro would that same patch work? I doubt it but its something to think about. There were a few modified Netflix apks floating around which supposedly bypass the L1 check but I haven't seen one.

Hmm, no double-USB-A-cable here so it seems, that a test will have to wait :(

There is no way at the moment to flash this rom via microsd-card? Did anyone have success with the Amlogic BootcardMaker from here https://chinagadgetsreviews.com/how-to-unbrick-any-amlogic-devices-create-an-bootable-magic-micro-sd-card-in-minutes.html I'm afraid trying this and bricking my box...

how do you do it if satellite channels and iptv channels are meant to carry them a bouquet or fantasy

If you have a preference to move iptv channels to the normal channel list, do you have a program to do so?

Those videos are from Vitaliy_S. The Android 6.0 ROM for KII Pro shown is from Vitaliy_S and/or Pily_W (see build name in video). I'd have to look at ROM closely but I suspect it is a modified version of K1 Plus or Wetek Play2 Android 6.x ROM. Both are knowledgeable developers but it is my understanding that getting the DVB tuners to function has been the limitation. Based upon his posts, Vitaliy_S has chosen not to do any further work on KII Pro (S905). I have also loaded Android 6 ROMs similar to shown in the videos and have not been able to get the DTV tuners to function. I have reached out to Videostrong, as I don't think it would require much work on their part, but thus far they have not shown any interest in assisting with completing a functional Android 6 version for the KII Pro (S905). Like most of the Android box manufacturers, they are primarily interested in selling new devices and that means they have moved on to the new KII Pro (S905D).
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] mostrow:
Installed and everything is very smooth! Brilliant job!

DTV, wifi all working ok. Very stable and clean.

But a lot of apps are missing from the play store(can't find twitch, hbo go), and I can't login to netflix , for me was a dealbreaker, so I flashed back the original fw.

I'm guessing it's working as intended (prob android tv play store doesn't display/install regular android apps and netflix has drm issues with custom roms).

I'd be happy to give it a go again or test any new builds that could sort those.

Noticed bugs:

Doesn't allow for 2-factor auth enabled login (displays a message that "your administrator requires additional security steps" and then returns to language selection).

Installed Live Channels with tvheadend as channel source, works fine but when returning to home screen while playing the channel in the background, the UI becomes unresponsive.

Live Channels grabs the channel #s, names, picons just fine, but doesn't grab the EPG (working fine on Kodi and SPMC).

[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] stane1983:
I hope you don't mind guys for me to jump in :)

I have this device and a lot of experience with Amlogic devices but never worked with DVB enabled devices. I started working on Nougat firmware (also ATV) for K II Pro. I'll post when some progress is made. Uboot is done, firmware boots but DVB still not working.

Cheers
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] ygoralmeida:
Wow, make at least the good nougat firmware ... for DVB i still prefer the Libreelec, anyway if you need beta tester ... let me know
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] stane1983:
Yeah, I thought about that. Maybe I'll do dual boot LE and droid as I also prefer LE for Kodi and I guess DVB :) But dvb on Android is new experience so Ill keep working on that.
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] stane1983:
Not so great news.... There are issues with video playback on S905 on Nougat. Turns out Amlogic never tested Nougat on S905 reference boards. Will see how that will turn out, I'm in contact with their engineer.
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] mr3p:
Hi stane1983,

Any help from you for the KII Pro S905 would be awesome. From what I could find and confirmed by conversations with Videostrong, Amlogic did not support Android 7 on S905 which is why I was working toward an Android 6 build. Videostrong initially agreed to assist in completing Android 6 ROM however after I sent them my half as agreed upon they backed out. Another developer, Vitaliy_S, also mentioned there were performance issues with Nougat on KII Pro S905 but hopefully you can figure out a solution with Amlogic engineers. Thank you
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] algdu83:
super, are you trying with a dtv from android 7? example that of ki pro or kiii pro?
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] mr3p:
I will defer to stane1983 as his knowledge far exceeds mine but I don't think any DTV app will work unless the kernel is modified to support DVB tuners?
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] stane1983:
You're right, but kernel part is less of a problem since driver exists. Android app is another story. But I might have someone to talk to in VideoStrong related to this. And now I talked to aml engineer about playback issue S905 have with Android 7. Basically anything that is not MoviePlayer is not working (MediaCodec API <-> aml code is broken for S905), so I don't see point of working further on S905 and Nougat before this is fixed. And might take some time since Aml is busy with Oreo deadline initial SDK release at the moment.

If anyone is interested, this error is spamming logcat:

[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] mr3p:
Thanks stane1983. Did your contact at Amlogic convey if they would be willing to assist with fixing the S905 playback issue after Oreo SDK is released?
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] stane1983:
Yes, he said they will look into it when sone resources are available.

About your question you sent in PM, I'll see how Marshmallow will go. I have pretty stable MM SDK (im not using generic aml sdk-s) and it should work pretty good.
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] stane1983:
Ok, DVB in Android will be kind of tricky (no Android source code available, prebuilt solution is not working). I created poll here with question "Do you want custom Android 6.0.1 ROM with dual boot to LibreELEC (no DVB in Android)?". Only one vote per user please.

Yeah, looks doable and I think it's also good option. But I think there will be Android 1st prepared for dual boot (new partition layout) since enigma2 development can be more time consuming.

enigma is not a priority anymore so far they try to do it for wetek play2 but unstable

Perhaps if you take the enigma2 files and create a double launch with android. I don't now if it possible that.

[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] mr3p:
I'm confused by the poll. Is the limitation you are seeing with Android 6.0.1 because the DTV app not working? Any luck with Videostrong for assistance? Someone else can chime in with but I think the main attraction to Android 6+ is ability to use the updated single DTV app (th_dtv.apk) which had advantages compared 2 apps (DTVLauncher.apk and th_dtv.apk) required for Android 5.1. Have you tried loading one of the Android 6.0.1 DTV apps from KI Pro (or K1 Plus) on your KII Pro Android 6.0.1 build? I have a couple of hacked Android 6 ROMs which run on KII Pro but also could never get DVB app to function.

Updated fully functioning Android on KII Pro is my preference but I'll transition to LibreELEC if that's our only option. Isn't the KII Pro already supported by current LibreELEC builds?
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] stane1983:
Yes, I tried th_dtv app and their libs. Not working. There's error log but doesn't tell much, except some kernel sysfs nodes are missing in video subsystem which leads to conclusion that they modified their kernel. I might get in touch with their engineer but that's under question. Best option would be to get their kernel and th_dtv sources but I don't think it's going to happen. Kernel maybe, but their app.... hardly.

Anyway, Android will be 6.0.1, latest SDK released from Amlogic with two extra partitions for linux kernel and rootfs and modified bootloader which will allow dual booting. That will be first public fw with OTA support from my server. When that is achieved I'll move on with linux and android DVB part.
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] algdu83:
it's not reassuring.

hoping for a solution if not can be modify an kernels android 6 of the kipro

if it can help

[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] mr3p:
Thanks stane1983. I tried to get assistance from Videostrong for an updated Android 6.0 kernel and the email chat was like a bad comedy. I still don't know if there were communication/translation issues, the person was non-technical or if there were multiple different people using the same email. Some of the replies made sense whereas others it was a circular discussion. Perhaps if you are able to contact Videostrong engineer you might have better success?

I like the idea of a dual boot ROM and should be a good starting point. With a little luck maybe Videostrong will be willing to assist fix DVB issue and Amlogic will fix the S905 Android 7 issue so we could end up with a really great ROM.

the good thing is starting with an android 6 as a base with dualboot capacity to enigma2 or librelec

the chineese from videostrong will not help you... they prefer to sell the k1 & 3 pro to help us to get an updated rom with the Dtv app supporting Oscam

stane1983 - New KII Pro (S905D) is supposedly same hardware as KII Pro (S905) except cpu. I know Android 7 playback is currently broken on S905 but as we look for solution for Android DTV app for KII Pro (S905), do you think the DTV app for new KII Pro (S905D) might work? I don't have a copy of the KII Pro (S905D) ROM but is it worth trying the DTV app to see if loads on your MM or Nougat test builds?
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] stane1983:
I'm waiting for reply from VS. Android 7 apk won't work with Android 6, I'm 99% sure. While I'm waiting for VS to reply, I'm adding my mods to Android 6 firmware. Spent some time collecting TV gapps for android 6 (ones that are not crashing :)). Chromecast won't work (unless someone have some patch for this - similar security thing as Netflix for ATV) and Netflix won't work.

[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] ygoralmeida:
May i ask you a question ?

Looks like you know a lot stuff about amlogic, as i can see on your git and also blog.

But is that so hard to get collab with other guys with algo good knowledge with it? Like Vitmod on his forum does have Android ATV for K1 Pro (S905D) and KIII (S912), and looks like working so far so good with DTV and other stuff ( with more then TVH support on android but other players and etc ). He said on the start that he didn't released ATV rom based for K1 Plus / KII pro - as he thinks performance does not match what he wants.

--> http://vitmod.ru/forum/index.php/topic,37.0.html

But that doesn't mean he did not manage to have it ... he just didn't want to release for public and deal with users claim. He does also have Enigma2 rom - and that one also works on KII Pro (S905), and Neutrino, VDR. AceStream and Kodi firmware based on LibreElec.

http://vitmod.ru/forum/index.php/topic,2.0.html

Another Russian guy - AlexElec has his own LibreElec fork for S905/S912/S805 family - with a different DTB based as far as i understand - for S905 (KII Pro) it's a Ugoos based and works.

LibreElec itself from Kszaq / AFL1 / Adamg - are based on MM kernel - and patches from those guys looks like getting merged to original Libreelec master release. The same for old (azbox) now Wetek company - Their Wetek Play / Play 2 - that has DVB-C/T/T2/S/S2 runs with custom Android ATV ... some comunity builds, their own android os fork (mod) WeOS release - that started on 5.1.1 and now it's on 6.x - and some Enigma2 support openatv openpsa openpli, and not to forget ODROID-C2 / Khadas Vim ... I almost forgot ... the guy behind OSMC Vero / Vero4k - they also have good knowledge on Amlogic stuff.

Over OSMC Vero forums, he even said if community wants he can take a look for a android firmware. But it was not a priority for him. But don't forget Vero 4k it's almost KII Pro.

So i ask ... no chance with all those guys working together to backport / convert / make it works ... ??

I wish it's not a dream - but ... at least looks like you are doing great with at least a good MM firmware for us.
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] stane1983:
As I said in 1st post I wrote in this thread, my intention is to get familiar with DVB subsystem on Amlogic devices. I'm not using prebuilt apps/kernels etc. I have access to Amlogic sources and I'm building everything from sources. I know about AlexElec and kszaq's github, I know Sam (OSMC). I'm aware that most probably I will have to use prebuilt DTV app and libs from VS but that should be it. My intention here is not to cook rom that will work but to learn and explore something I did not had chance to work on before.

And I don't read Cyrillic or speak Russian so these sites I'm not following. Also, except AlexElec, kszaq, OSMC and maybe few other guys related to LibreELEC forks, nothing I found is open source. Wetek enigma project is not maintained for some time afaik. And Wetek is using standard Linux DVB API (also afaik), while Amlogic's implementation is different (as usual). I did not saw anywhere Vitmod's sources (and I was looking for it when someone here suggested it). Same goes for TVheadend Android port. Where are sources of tvheadend fork? TVheadend itself is licensed under GPLv3 so unless someone wrote it again from scratch, sources should be available somewhere for download.
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] mr3p:
From what I recall, Chromecast is not working for anyone and you are correct regarding Netflix ATV which requires Widevine L1. VS issued patch for KI Pro to enable Widevine L1 although I doubt it would work on KII Pro, especially one which is rooted. Have considered including Widevine binaries (KI PRo MM build?) in your ROM to enable L3? Hopefully with sources from VS you will be able to create working DTV app for MM. My comment regarding trying KII Pro S905D DTV app on KII Pro S905 was just a thought as an option for a Nougat build should VS not be willing to assist. Thanks again for pushing this forward.
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] stane1983:
ATV version of Netflix won't work without Netflix certification at all (Netflix ESN). Mobile version will work in SD quality. Widevine L3 can be supported, L1 can't as we don't have license which must be flashed to device. There's also additions to bootloader, enabling secure os, kernel secure os part, userspace libs...
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] mr3p:
L1 devices without Netflix certification will work with Netflix ATV although it requires spoofing an approved device
